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.- New York Post

Not a movie but a live-action agitprop cartoon so shameless and coarse, it's almost funny.- New York Post

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.- New York Post

Hard-core chick shlock, weakened by odd shifts in tone and a slack pace, but elevated by a luminous performance by Natalie Portman.- New York Post

An almost chuckle-free mess, so amateurish and lame that the cast often has that embarrassed look you see on dogs given ridiculous haircuts.- New York Post

What follows is very gruesome indeed, though the footage of people being chased by hideous ghosts soon becomes rather dull.- New York Post

There are times when the urban dialect is so thick, you wish the film came with subtitles.- New York Post

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

About two-thirds of the way through, a stupid, hyperbolic sensibility takes control of the project, running it screaming off the rails.- New York Post

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.- New York Post

A big, incoherent bore, interesting only as an example of assembly-line movie-making gone awry.- New York Post

The acting, camera work and writing are all crude and amateurish, even by the standards of student films.- New York Post

Not only is Adored amateurish and mawkish even by the standards of American "gaysploitation" cinema, it's weirdly shy about showing nudity and sex.- New York Post

It's so painful to sit through you eventually stop feeling sorry for the floundering cast.- New York Post

Overall, this sci-fi/martial arts hybrid has the stale aura of a product assembled out of bits of other action movies.- New York Post

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.- New York Post

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.- New York Post

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.- New York Post

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.- New York Post
