The script is atypically bland for Heckerling.

You will be surprised by the film's poignancy when the winner is announced. You may even get choked up. You will care that much.

Though The Hard Word feels flimsy at times, its breeziness and humor, along with Pearce's performance, make it infinitely more amusing than it's got any right to be. You get the feeling that these actors had fun making this film, and that fun is contagious.

Peter Segal's film, a predictable, choppy affair at best, boasts an understated, likable performance by Sandler, but here we never feel, as we did with the original, invested in the outcome of the final game, or convinced of the redeemability of the movie's sordid protagonist.

Entertaining, disturbing, sad, outrageous and often hilarious.

Engrossing and unusual.

A vibrant, multicharacter film that entertains, disorients and enlightens.

Beautifully acted, the film is touchingly human and, thankfully, devoid of any vapid, ironic kitsch.

Though there are some funny moments, little in "Red, White and Blonde" is enjoyable.

Although at times ridiculous, Behind Enemy Lines nevertheless thrills, inspires.

Ponderous, pretentious and boring, Levity becomes ironic on top of itself. You won't pity these people. You'll start laughing at them. Like a clown.

The script is inane, and though Ferri has some funny moments, the acting is annoying or hopelessly bland.

Kassovitz can't control the ridiculous script and messy tone. And though it's not exactly hard to watch Berry run around in a hospital robe (Cruz and Berry: That's one good-looking mental ward), it's not particularly profound.
