  1. Murderously dull stretches of dialogue suck most of the fun out of this sloppy drama.
  2. I can't imagine what Dali or Buñuel would have made of such bourgeois sentimentality.
  3. There are brutal scenes with razor blades and other impromptu devices of erotic torment, but what makes the movie a trial to sit through isn't just the heroine's pain-freak tastes.
  4. Gory but dramatically inert vampire schlocker.
  5. It wants to be "Good Will Hunting" set in the land of "Entourage," but its bummed-out touchy-feeliness is every bit as concocted as its overly jaded showbiz corruption.
  6. The Other Man is self-conscious, overproduced, overacted Euro-marital hoo-ha.
  7. One of those tepid, genteel biopics that's far too busy ennobling its hero to bother giving him any recklessly interesting personality traits.
  8. Be prepared to swallow a lot of empty-calorie jokes in which blacks and Latinos insult and misunderstand one another in a spirit of vigorous buffoonery.
  9. A grisly one-note chase thriller.
  10. It's the showy story, script, and even staging that wear a fella out in this relentlessly precious feature debut by writer-director Jordan Roberts.
  11. It's not just that Tony Soprano is richer, darker, cooler, and scarier. The dude gets more laughs.
  12. The dialogue is chintzy and rhythmless.

    Cute, but there's no movie here -- just a transcultural replication.
  13. An Australian crime caper that's one part ''Sexy Beast,'' one part ''The Full Monty,'' and three parts very flat soda.

    The novel is a sharp, Dickensian comedy; the film is just plain dull.
  14. Little more than a plodding celebration of global television trumping everything in its midst.
  15. Along comes Two Can Play That Game to demonstrate that antifeminist silliness is color-blind.
  16. It sounds churlish to argue that a movie can have too much integrity for its own good, but that's exactly the problem with La Ciénaga.
  17. Reeves is a stiff dancer and he delivers his lines in a full leather jacket monotone.

    The kind of rote schlocker that rarely makes it to big screens anymore.

    (Madonna is) clearly full of good intentions; too bad she's lacking discernible emotions.
  18. More and more independent filmmakers seem to be cobbling together characters and scenes that have surface hook and flash without organic emotional logic.
  19. There are many things wrong with Novocaine, but the film's most gnawing pain is its clodhopper farfetchedness.
  20. Keeps teasing you with intimations of the libidinous animal within.
  21. This trip down The Road to El Dorado proceeds under the speed limit all the way.
  22. Director Chris Columbus...seals this comedy in an impenetrable bubble of hollow humanism.
  23. Further sad evidence that Tom Tykwer, director of the resonant and sense-spinning ''Run Lola Run,'' has turned out to be a one-trick pony -- a maker of softheaded metaphysical claptrap. It's enough to make you want to see him run again.
  24. The title translates, roughly, as ''This & That,'' a confectionary shrug that pretty well sums up the blasé inconsequentiality of it all.

    The pathogenic agent to fear, however, is the one that evidently turned every line of dialogue into inane gibberish.
  25. This remains the one and only fusion of ''Deliverance'' and ''Hansel and Gretel'' that I ever hope to see.
