  1. There's a lost opportunity here.
  2. Its series of quiet but moving realizations of the utter ubiquity of the Nazi horror in every single aspect of life, even something as hidden as a sexual sub-culture, is powerful indeed.
  3. A crowd pleaser, but there's something a bit prim and pre-determined about its conclusions.
  4. Coy, cutesy, sentimental, and shamelessly manipulative.
  5. Director Gary Winick ("Sweet Nothing") ingeniously complements Draper's layered approach by modulating the film's energy in fascinating ways.
  6. The problem is, director Robert Lee King has a hard time sustaining the aimed-for camp tone, and while there are a few well-spaced giggles to be had, the movie sputters more than it soars for most of its 95 minutes.
  7. I really wish a younger man than Clint Eastwood had directed it.
  8. An authentically spirited popcorn movie.
  9. Maybe Kevin Bacon can use the Twinkie defense to explain Hollow Man.
  10. (Ash and Russell) generate just enough tension to keep the audience interested.
  11. Nothing less than stunning: a slapstick ballet of choreographed buffoonery.
  12. If you're in the mood for fairy tales, you've come to the right place.
  13. This is a beautiful, surprisingly uplifting movie, made by someone who actually understands people.

    Will test your powers of attention. The effort is worth every minute.

  14. Nearly incomprehensible story.
  15. In short: Don't expect a lot of laughs.
  16. It's a testimony to Tammy Faye's own integrity and enormous charisma that the film holds our attention as tightly as it does, and doesn't become an insufferable exercise in weak filmmaking.
  17. Has a warm and intimate feel that helps push it a little deeper than its cable movie-of-the-week blueprint.
  18. It has its moments.
  19. Loses touch with its characters.
  20. Has its own sense of logic and integrity that demand a kind of begrudged respect.
  21. Kids -- may like this movie. But kids like green ketchup, so what do they know?

    Silly teen thriller.
  22. It's like one of the baker's cakes, handsomely rendered on the outside but lacking flavor.
  23. A rich and challenging variation on the serial-killer genre.
  24. A standard morality tale, and looks especially weak in the shadow of "Eyes Wide Shut" and "Fight Club," which it resembles.
  25. Nearly the perfect balance between straight-faced pulp action and amused wonder at the outlandish world of comic books.
  26. The film is very theatrical and admittedly "staged," but always purposefully.
  27. One of the best films of the year. Queer in every sense of the word, it's poignant, laugh-out-loud funny and thoroughly provocative.
  28. It's solid, if ultimately uninspired, July entertainment.
