It took five men to concoct the hackneyed plot and conceive the brainless jokes that constitute Not Another Teen Movie, meaning there are five men in Los Angeles right now still trying to wash that stink off their soft, idle hands.- New Times (L.A.)

September Tapes, with its torturously high-minded narration and ludicrously low-road shenanigans, uses the terror attacks of 2001 as the setup for an infuriating gotcha finale.- Dallas Observer

Penned by Rock and a handful of his pals, is such an utter disaster it seems to go out of its way to avoid comedy. It's the very definition of oxymoron: a crowd-pleaser that doesn't.- Dallas Observer

It's utterly frustrating: What could and should have been biting and droll is instead a tepid waste of time and talent.- New Times (L.A.)

The film strains for some kind of meaning, but asks you to do the work it can't and won't perform on its own.- Dallas Observer

Bernal can't decide if he's making a Tarantino homage or an Almodovar riff or an Albert Brooks tribute...and the wobbly sensibility finally knocks the movie's legs out from beneath it altogether.- Dallas Observer

This ain't no movie. It's a very long, very tedious infomercial for Phantom Menace action figures, on sale now at a Target or Toys "R" Us near you.- Dallas Observer

Here's a bizarre hodgepodge of influences: "Kindergarten Cop" meets "Sound of Music," filtered through the Hulk Hogan movie "Mr. Nanny." The formula, by now so overused it's actually formless, is pure Disney- Dallas Observer

Moore invested his characters with flaws, with a tangible humanity; God knows they never felt the need to explain themselves, as the film does, rendering it something akin to one long footnote.- Dallas Observer

There's nothing at all scary about White Noise, which goes bump in the night so often it's easy to mistake it for clumsy.- Dallas Observer

It's absolutely awful, and even Gene Hackman can't carry it across the goal line.- Dallas Observer

Travolta is stuck giving a remarkable performance in a film so trivial and offensive its mere existence is as loathsome as it is laughable.- New Times (L.A.)

The entire enterprise was directed by first-timer Christopher Erskin like a would-be Max Bialystock; one can only assume it's supposed to be this bad, because nobody sucks this hard on accident.- Dallas Observer

Just when it looked like "Not Another Teen Movie" might claim the crap crown comes this stoner's tale.- New Times (L.A.)

In one of the year's most woefully manipulative and oppressively pandering offerings: I Am Sam, a dolled-up TV movie-of-the-week masquerading as profound cinema.- New Times (L.A.)

Not good enough to overcome its status as damaged goods, which is almost a shame, since audiences will miss Billy Bob Thornton's best performance, and hairpiece, in years.- Dallas Observer

It's a thoroughly delightful throwaway--the kind of movie for which cable television was made, from the maker of "Music & Lyrics" (Marc Lawrence), who knows his way 'round a snappy tune.- Dallas Observer

An ugly-duckling tale so hideously and clumsily told it feels accidental. Surely, no one PLANNED something this disastrously unfunny.- New Times (L.A.)

So utterly awful, you're tempted to build a time machine, then go back in history and try to make sure Ward's parents never meet.- Dallas Observer

This limp gender-bender-baller from a first-time director and rookie screenwriter steals wholesale from that 1982's "Tootsie," forgetting only to retain a single laugh.- New Times (L.A.)
