Starts out as a first-rate chick movie and winds up a second-rate guy movie. But if this somehow proves to be a formula for the perfect date movie, then Kidman is even more brilliant than we thought.

Unfortunately, the script is a light romantic comedy and unwilling to go the extra distance to really make it stick.

There are many flaws in Animal Farm, but its message is what I’m recommending the film for. Look, it will make great dinner conversation with your toddlers.

If you’re a big fan of the Farrelly Brothers' films, you should like Stuck on You. If their films repulse you, stay home and rent "The Hours" again.

It's disappointing that he (Soderbergh) couldn't make something more cohesive out of his admirable experiment.

This simple film can be quite a great diversion from our every day grind. The camera style, characters, and visual look are all quite impressive, while maintaining an easy accessibility for the audience's eyes. It is only too bad that the film feels so sluggish.

It would be nearly impossible to make a totally bad documentary about the festival, but I have yet to see the perfect documentary depiction of Burning Man.

An original and utterly unconventional tragedy of fantasy and reality, and the potential lethal results of worlds colliding. Ed, glad to have you back.

An interesting and shocking film that tells a story many of us knew nothing about but are affected by it nonetheless.

Blue Beetle is worth seeing, but it has many missed opportunities.

Harrowing, heroic, and occasionally gripping.

A reasonably intelligent timekiller.

A well-done, oft-times entertaining documentary as it presents this unique brand of matchmaking that may or may not be the ideal situation for both parties.

A good film, but it should’ve been a great one.

1. It has the potential to supplant "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" as the greatest audience participation movie of all time. 2. It is, simultaneously, one of the worst and best movies I’ve ever seen.

This isn't a straight-on comedy by a long shot. It's a quirky character study that will make everyone in the audience laugh at different places.

Ultimately comes off as so restrained as to be detached and almost as chilly as LaBute's darker films -- not exactly what one would want from a story about a love so strong that it echoes through the ages.

It’s important to understand that the irony and the less-than-ideal qualities of The Hill and the Hole lead to something resembling comedy rather than the intended drama.

This is a big, silly film. Is it full of explosions and one-liners? Of course. Is it entertaining? Of course.

Yes, it’s all uber-violent, in-your-face, completely lacking sophistication – but I’ll be damned if it’s not entertaining.

Those looking for a message are missing the point. Grennan’s goal is to literally ravage your senses, leave you breathless and ashamed of humanity.

Anyone with a weak heart or a queasy stomach should stay away. In fact, most everyone everywhere should stay away. But if you still want to see Irreversible, be prepared to see images that will upset and disturb you for a long, long time. Be prepared to be shaken to the very core.

Part of the reason Condor’s Nest works as well as it does is that none of it feels forced or showy. Blattenberger truly set out to make a kick-ass WWII flick, albeit with his tongue planted firmly in cheek.

Levin has proven a great director with Union Bridge, sadly, the story he is telling needs work.

Hampstead is a perfectly good romantic dramedy.

What ultimately keeps The Weather Man from being a better film than it is that it doesn't no when to quit.

An interesting idea, thoughtfully acted and visually intriguing. However, it is nearly undone by a lead character that fails to represent the general idea that the film is allegedly about.

This is a timeless tale; the time period is irrelevant as the story is a profoundly personal one about trying to reject the strong internal drive for vengeance.
