I haven't seen the original, and this mishmash -- doesn't make me want to.

If your kids are fans there's probably no escaping this installment.

An Austin Powers movie for grown-ups.

Solidly engaging.

A slyly subversive adventure tale that should appeal to children and adults alike.

At least it has the decency not to pretend it's aspiring any higher than the toilet.

A so-so romantic comedy.

The psychological and psychoanalytical probes into sexual and emotional problems keep this reasonably lively.

Despite its nasty facade, this comedy is surprisingly good-natured.

A cringe-inducing flop.

The actors do a pretty good job, though not good enough to sustain 133 minutes.

This is possibly the funniest lesbian romp since "Go Fish."

Director Kieron J. Walsh never quite figures out what to do with the numerous film references (he quotes dialogue, they reenact scenes), and the resulting uncertainty in tone, which sometimes treats the characters as parodistic products of mass culture, undercuts his later attempts to suggest that their love is authentic.

A first-rate Hollywood entertainment--at least if one can accept the schizophrenia of combining a cop/buddy action thriller with an angry satire about the shamelessness of the media.

Beautiful, absorbing, and touching, this film is a mind-expanding experience not to be missed.

This comedy-drama was written by Simon Beaufoy, who brought us "The Full Monty," and it has some of the same gamy mix of alternative sexuality and working-class heart.

Kasi Lemmons directed this tepid thriller, whose only genuinely creepy aspect is its cavalier and uninformed use of mental illness and classical music to heighten the meager suspense.

An exceptionally glib satire about reality TV, by writer-director Daniel Minahan, that puts most of its effort into looking as much as is possible like a real TV show.

All of this comedy's jokes are old.

A seemingly mad dog periodically turns into a well-trained pet.

At first Costner seems to distrust the hokey character he plays, but his performance and the movie's slanted humor, rash melodrama, and ludicrous action soon become riveting.

The scenes set on earth--messy, predictable satire about the commercial exploitation of fevered genius. The unconscious/underworld scenes may be boring because neosurrealism is a cliche.

A hopeless romantic meets a hapless realist in this gritty, elegant drama brimming with spontaneous-seeming close-ups.

Bosnian-born director Emir Kusturica delivers a superb performance as the prisoner, a brutish cipher who gradually reveals his humanity, and the delicate lighting often produces silhouetted faces that evoke the ultimate incomprehensibility of human emotion.

This earnestly charming black comedy, written and directed by Korean-born Wonsuk Chin, posits several interesting metaphysical questions that offset the occasionally pretentious and ironic tone.

It's slight but likable, and diverting enough as light entertainment.

The unfunniest comedy I can recall seeing in ages.

A cute send-up of preadolescent stereotypes.
