    Eagle Eye
    The picture's first 35 minutes sizzle until a Byzantine plot nudges the story toward near-parody in the final act.

    A Piece of Eden
    A collection of sentimental and emotional moments in search of a movie.

    Malibu's Most Wanted
    Ultimately implodes, letting down the 'hood, hip-hoppers and Jamie Kennedy fans looking forward to his first major starring role.

    The Animal
    A sweethearted trifle.

    Sorry, Haters
    Penn looks bewildered in a role that simply doesn't track, but Kechiche rises to the occasion. Stanzler's helming, shot blandly in digital vid, amounts to point-and-shoot.

    Light It Up
    Never quite catches fire in its too-deliberate attempt to appeal to all ages and all tastes.

    American Pie 2
    A remarkably boring comedy.

    Riding in Cars with Boys
    The result under Penny Marshall's direction is a film with genuinely serious intentions that falls considerably short of its intentions.

    Paycheck
    Uninspired star turns from Ben Affleck and Uma Thurman suggest something less than full belief in this quickly forgettable thriller.

    From Other Worlds
    Picture's leaps into the fantastic and rampantly farcical tend to be overextended, but finally don't detract from what is a well-judged, light entertainment.

    Home Room
    Writer-editor-director Paul F. Ryan makes the mistake of focusing on an ungainly and, finally, unplayable verbal match between two high schoolers.

    MVP: Most Valuable Primate
    A lark gone utterly awry.

    For Love of the Game
    Costner is as uneven as the storytelling itself, stone cold at moments, shimmeringly real in others.

    American Wedding
    The funny stuff continues for a quite satisfying conclusion during the wedding prep and ceremonies, which Stifler single-handedly transforms into his own personal gross-out comedy masterpiece.

    Death Race
    As hard as metal and just as dumb, Paul W.S. Anderson's Death Race couldn't be further from producer Roger Corman and director Paul Bartel's goofy, bloody 1975 original, "Death Race 2000."

    In the Valley of Elah
    Too self-serious to work as a straight-ahead whodunit and too lacking in imagination to realize its art-film aspirations.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 40 Robert Koehler
    Miss Congeniality
    Stumbling its way down the comedy runway, Miss Congeniality is yet another miscalculated vehicle for the ever-feisty Sandra Bullock.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 30 Robert Koehler
    Drive Me Crazy
    Sloppy and dull in equal measures.
    • 42 Metascore

    Trade
    Little more than a slipshod, trashy, sometimes exploitative thriller.
    • 42 Metascore

    Gun Shy
    A textbook case in which the parts are greater than the whole.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 40 Robert Koehler
    Along Came a Spider
    Weaves a humdrum plot that's never ahead of the audience until three-quarters through.

    Ed Gein
    A disappointingly mild re-creation of true events.

    Celsius 41.11: The Temperature at Which the Brain... Begins to Die
    Preaches purely to the converted.

    Big Daddy
    While the loyal male-teen aud core will not be disappointed with the spate of gags just for them, story contains solid date-movie material.

    Blue Hill Avenue
    Writer-director Craig Ross Jr. offers both rigorously effective dramatic sections and terribly pedantic and melodramatic strokes of overkill.

    Mad About Mambo
    Lacking the kind of fire and energy that the best youth movies demand, leads Ash and Russell display skills better tuned to the small screen.

    Freshman Orientation
    With intermittently amusing glee, writer-director Ryan Shiraki's tyro film, Freshman Orientation, frolics through the political minefields of a typical college campus.

    Sahara
    Saddled with more industry/celebrity baggage than a high-class safari voyage, Sahara is a rousing and only occasionally ridiculous adventure yarn.

    The Salton Sea
    This extremely plot-thickened tale finally offers little more than the usual genre elements pushed to the kind of extremes that recall the acrid "The Way of the Gun."

    Double Jeopardy
    Despite fine casting...familiarity sets in and lack of surprises directly lessen what could have been emotionally gripping.
