    The Santa Clause 2
    Sweet enough while it lasts.

    Step Up
    This could be a pilot for the WB. Hollywood choreographer Fletcher makes the jump behind the camera but displays a greater aplomb for staging than drama, and the movie is as fleeting as the last weekend of summer.

    Adam & Steve
    It's the most honest, refreshing comedy about love – gay, straight, or both – I've seen in many moons, and at the end everyone's problems are solved by a country-western dance battle with drag doyenne Jackie Beat on the mic.

    Failure to Launch
    Deschanel, as the token oddball of the gang, runs off with the movie.

    Reno 911!: Miami
    The filmmakers assume familiarity with the show's documentary premise and in-jokes (e.g., deputy Garant giving all his commands in French), which will make the movie even less accessible to novices.

    The Trip
    If the film had allowed them to fall in love in real time, instead of to the drumbeat of history, their relationship would seem immeasurably more nuanced.

    Herbie Fully Loaded
    Sort of annoying, and it doesn't do what you want it to do, but you know, it's so scrappy and persistent that it seems kind of cute in spite of itself.

    Against the Ropes
    Like a lot of sports movies, this biopic about boxing promoter Jackie Kallen is better than it has to be but not as good as it ought to be.

    The Gospel
    Tamyra, Tamyra, Tamyra. I didn't recognize you at first!

    The Break-Up
    Everybody’s sleepwalking here. Vincent D'Onofrio is fantastic with Vaughn in a small part as his brother, but it's as if he’s running in during a break from "Law & Order: Criminal Intent."

    Into the Blue
    Its characterizations are as bland as sand.

    Firewall
    It starts off with a slick split-screen bang, but this high tech heist thriller is like a For Dummies guide to the genre.

    Life as a House
    This family melodrama is as subtle as a load of bricks and occasionally as painful, but it offers two of the most finely tuned acting performances yet this year.

    Latter Days
    The end of the film edges toward camp, and the sudden arrival of surreal dream sequences threatens to push it over the side. The movie is more sophisticated when it’s not trying to be complex.

    American Dreamz
    Maybe America will prove me wrong by voting, but I felt like you were holding back until the end.

    Smokin' Aces
    Half the time the movie wants to be balls-out weird, and it is. But the other half – the half with the good guys – is plodding procedural fare.

    Boys Life 3
    An indie grab bag.

    Kate & Leopold
    There's nothing terribly wrong with Kate & Leopold -- it's just an awfully conventional upmarket romantic comedy.

    In My Country
    There is great material here and ample food for thought, but the presentation is lacking.

    It Runs in the Family
    Schepisi underscores each emotional note by pulling the camera away from his actors and pointing it at family photographs, a saccharine conceit that becomes more irritating each time it appears.

    Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason
    Final verdict: Cast is excellent; movie is OK; men and women are soooo different.

    Firehouse Dog
    Perhaps the lesson to be learned is that just because we CAN use computer technology to give dogs goofy faces, that doesn’t mean we SHOULD.

    9 Songs
    It works best as a spank-it movie you don’t have to feel guilty about and that you can dance to. And there’s nothing wrong with that.

    Worth a look.

    The Big Bounce
    The worst thing about Bounce isn't that it's bad but that it just isn't interesting.

    The Family Man
    A holiday film Joe Lieberman could love, unembarrassed by its wholesome, sugary pro-family message.

    Trade
    It points a determined finger (a middle finger, almost) at law enforcement, which cannot or will not recognize kidnapping victims in our midst, especially if they are undocumented and brown-skinned.

    Next
    This pseudo-Phildickian actioner is chum for the bigger fish to come this summer; for Moore, it's a slummer.

    Jailbait
    For venturesome viewers, Jailbait would make a potent late-summer palate cleanser in preparation for festival season, even if you wouldn't make a meal of it.

    Agent Cody Banks
    Cody Banks would probably be appropriate for the 13-and-older crowd, but it’s far too dopey for teenage sophisticates.
