The film is weighed down by the decision of director David Atkins to throw too much into the mix. The result is a serious problem of consistency.

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.

America's favorite romantic comedian is miscast in Kate & Leopold -- a disappointment with the warm and charming Jackman around.

There's nothing worse than a sub-par Woody Allen knockoff.

An unsteady mixture of treacle and dark comedy that never feels as "dark" as it pretends. Though well-intentioned, it's not terribly compelling.

It is off-putting at first, then refreshing, then downright touching. In short, it works.

An unfortunate example of a small picture that feels small.

If not for the race sequences and the intriguing presence of Caviezel, who made this film before "The Passion of the Christ" and who one hopes will take on even more roles befitting his peculiar sad-eyed charisma, the film would amount to a well-intentioned snooze.

It's Zahn who truly conveys what Marshall and Barrymore are going for -- laughing through your tears.

This film disappointingly feels like a sometimes brilliantly acted, often gorgeously filmed re-enactment of the television show "Unsolved Mysteries."

The Young Unknowns flails about, sometimes realistically, but the cumulative effect is "so what?" These characters may be young and unknown, but they feel old and in the way.

Bullock maintains a luster and comic naturalness that most actresses couldn't pull off in such mediocrity.

Quite simply, the "Tomb Raider" series has been flat-out boring, even with the talented and fun Jolie -- who needs to take off those harnesses and get back to real movies. She deserves better.

You can't just rework a beloved Christmas classic, set it in reverse and expect it to run smoothly.

Suffers from poor comic timing and defective romantic pacing.

Never maintains the spark necessary to sustain a feature film.

Maybe if you're younger than 10 you'll be scared or thrilled by this film. Otherwise, be prepared for one of the most unexciting pictures this summer.

A slick disappointment -- though there's much unintentional humor to be enjoyed.

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

Some will hate this film, but there's something delectably junky about it -- like a bright colored candy glistening from a gutter, you just have to look at it.

An odd, jumbled, beautifully wrought, often confusing work, this animated feature manages to be a compelling, exhilarating experience.

Feels more TV movie-of-the-week than Oscar contender.

Its cool, glib observations, delivered by good-looking creative people who live like the cast of "Friends" gone cynical, becomes forced and often stupid. The film goes off the track enough to make for an interesting train wreck.

Sometimes funny but mostly stupid film directed by Adam Shankman might have worked had it been made on TV by Norman Lear in the 1970s.

Limps shallowly along.

Though no classic, the concept is a clever one.

The film strives to be poetic, but it exposes nothing especially moving or relevant. Rather, the engaging leads wander around like actors lost in an ill-fated exercise in subtext.

For those who've seen the original, no surprises will be unearthed other than an altered story (not for the better) and more gore.
