  1. Living Out Loud is like "An Unmarried Woman" recast as a sitcom-cute update of Marty.
  2. Life desperately wants to let Murphy and Lawrence be actors, but it can't imagine them as anything more than rowdy showmen. That's a kind of prison as well.
  3. The same money-minded dreamers who found a way to ''Return to Neverland'' have hacked a path back to Baloo heaven.
  4. On the Line would like to be ''Serendipity'' for the Oxy-and-Skechers set, but it feels more like the worst movie Michael J. Fox never made.
  5. Feels cramped and underimagined. I think Judge is capable of making an inspired live-action comedy, but next time he'll have to remember to do what he does in his animated ones--keep the madness popping.
  6. The punchlines are as tired as Hogan looks.
  7. The orgasm, it turns out, is low on the list of Amy's issues. The title is faked.
  8. Jammed with banner-ready political rhetoric, and the relentlessness of the lectures is wearying. The plot, on the other hand, is a standard contraption built on enduring urban anxieties and involving a nasty hotel-room trade.
  9. Costner's determination to avoid change keeps this baseball movie at a low line drive when it might have knocked one into the bleachers.
  10. This is a high octane ride that starts to leak gas before it even gets going.
  11. Well-meaning but hopelessly lost little comedy.
  12. This is very much a ''woman's picture,'' driven by a twin rudder of anxiety and empowerment.
  13. The Farrellys may well be the new kingpins of adolescent slob comedy, but There's Something About Mary doesn't approach the witty anarchy of movies like "Animal House," "The Naked Gun," or "Hairspray."
  14. Ends up about as exotic as a straight-to-cable potboiler.
  15. Never tickles your nasty bone, perhaps because, in an era when the gossip pages are dotted with news of celebrity prenups, the prospect of marriage as a route to instant fortune seems less scandalous than it does like business as usual.

    Shabbily filmed, thoroughly harmless Official Product.
  16. The journey, however, is a hollow one, since Quaid and Stone, for all their efforts, never really do seem married. Perhaps that's because Stone, with her dry-ice charisma, does everything that an actress should except connect to whomever she happens to be facing on screen.
  17. An out of date 1950s movie.

    A movie that reduces history, as well as eros, to a postcard.
  18. The trouble with The Truth About Charlie is that it really is after the truth about Charlie, a character we could hardly give a damn about. The only charade is the illusion that we might actually be entertained.
  19. Spike Lee noisily attempts to place the hunt for real-life serial killer David Berkowitz at the center of a hotheaded sociological fantasy linking disco glitz, punk rebellion, ethnic insularity, sexual craving, and sizzling heat into one rattling chain of urban hysteria.
  20. That's the moral nut of this highly unexceptional episode, a midlife production in which each Enterprise crew member does his or her vaudeville act.
  21. So willfully bleak and profanity-filled, it could only have been written and directed by an actor.
  22. The energy is sapped by clinging condescension in the guise of compassionate liberalism.
  23. Stone's latest penance is Gloria, the Sidney Lumet-directed dud that sprung from the singularly bad idea of remaking John Cassavetes' oddball 1980 character study. I mean, really, did anyone even like the original?
  24. The movie has the structure of a madcap romantic chase without the wiggy, busting-out freedom.
  25. Best to experience Shaker Heights for what it is: not a movie, exactly, but the true season capper of ''Project Greenlight,'' a series that finds its very drama on the road to mediocrity.
  26. Drips along about as slowly as a polar ice cap and leaves both those who know the international thriller on which this creepy-doings-off-the-coast-of-Greenland yarn is based and those who don't out in the cold.
  27. Maddin chops it up into a feature-length antique-bloodsucker video, and the result takes hold neither as dance nor as silent horror dream.
  28. It's no accident that portions of Six Days mildly echo some of Ford's most popular films, from "Raiders of the Lost Ark" to "Working Girl."
