    The film's staggering incompetence can be measured by the way it makes some of the most fascinating and heart-rending episodes in American history tedious.

    A bad film with some oddly charming moments.
    • 30 Metascore
    • 50 Jonathan Foreman
    Not a movie but a live-action agitprop cartoon so shameless and coarse, it's almost funny.
    • 30 Metascore

    It's not to say that the adolescent humor isn't funny; some of it is hilarious. It's just that this movie lacks the overarching comic sensibility that made "Mary" and even Adam Sandler comedies like "Happy Gilmore" and "The Waterboy" so satisfying.

    Hard-core chick shlock, weakened by odd shifts in tone and a slack pace, but elevated by a luminous performance by Natalie Portman.
    • 30 Metascore
    • 63 Jonathan Foreman
    Formulaic but surprisingly charming.
    • 30 Metascore
    • 25 Jonathan Foreman
    An almost chuckle-free mess, so amateurish and lame that the cast often has that embarrassed look you see on dogs given ridiculous haircuts.

    • 38 Jonathan Foreman
    What follows is very gruesome indeed, though the footage of people being chased by hideous ghosts soon becomes rather dull.
    • 29 Metascore
    • 63 Jonathan Foreman
    There are times when the urban dialect is so thick, you wish the film came with subtitles.
    • New York Post
    • 29 Metascore
    • 25 Jonathan Foreman
    Embarrassingly bad - the kind of slapdash exercise that gives even Hollywood formula a bad name, while doing little justice to the sport.
    • New York Post
    • 29 Metascore
    • 50 Jonathan Foreman
    About two-thirds of the way through, a stupid, hyperbolic sensibility takes control of the project, running it screaming off the rails.

    This must be one of the worst movies ever to get a big-screen release. If it weren't so boring, this unbelievably bad indie sex comedy would be worth going to for five minutes of laughs at its sheer incompetence.
    • 28 Metascore
    • 25 Jonathan Foreman
    A big, incoherent bore, interesting only as an example of assembly-line movie-making gone awry.
    • 28 Metascore
    • 38 Jonathan Foreman
    The acting, camera work and writing are all crude and amateurish, even by the standards of student films.
    • 28 Metascore
    • 25 Jonathan Foreman
    Not only is Adored amateurish and mawkish even by the standards of American "gaysploitation" cinema, it's weirdly shy about showing nudity and sex.

    Anyone interested in this remarkably prolific author would be better off visiting a library or bookshop.

    There's no limit to Coyote Ugly's crass shamelessness.
    • New York Post
    • 27 Metascore
    • 25 Jonathan Foreman
    An example of lazy, dumb and couldn't-care-less hack movie making.

    It's so painful to sit through you eventually stop feeling sorry for the floundering cast.
    • 25 Metascore
    • 50 Jonathan Foreman
    Pretentious and trite.
    • New York Post
    • 25 Metascore
    • 50 Jonathan Foreman
    Overall, this sci-fi/martial arts hybrid has the stale aura of a product assembled out of bits of other action movies.
    • 25 Metascore
    • 50 Jonathan Foreman
    Unoriginal but effective raunchy drag comedy.
    • 25 Metascore
    • 25 Jonathan Foreman
    If the movie were funny, the implicit sermonizing would be more tolerable, but apart from four or five good one-liners, The Next Best Thing is a thudding failure as a comedy.
    • 25 Metascore
    • 25 Jonathan Foreman
    Stinks even by the standards of late summer movie garbage.
    • 25 Metascore
    • 38 Jonathan Foreman
    Hollywood movies are rarely as contemptuous of the audience as Dragonfly, with its half-witted, treacly New Age sappiness and its mechanical borrowings from other, better supernatural thrillers.
    • 25 Metascore
    • 25 Jonathan Foreman
    Isn't really a movie: It's a grab bag of mobster clichés lifted without finesse from "A Bronx Tale," "GoodFellas" and at least a score of lesser Mafia flicks.
    • 25 Metascore
    • 38 Jonathan Foreman
    One of those "Lifetime"-esque horror stories of evil husbands in the suburbs.
    • 24 Metascore
    • 50 Jonathan Foreman
    Uneven but occasionally hilarious teen comedy.
    • 24 Metascore
    • 38 Jonathan Foreman
    Good-natured but mostly unfunny.
    • 24 Metascore
    • 12 Jonathan Foreman
    Bereft of inspiration, the agonizingly witless screenplay - blamed by the credits on George Gallo - resorts to pathetic cheap jokes about flatulence and impotence, lame slapstick and that juvenile gag about the horror of two men waking up naked in the same bed.
