  1. One of the best films of this year...unlike anything you've seen on the big screen.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Call it baseball interruptus, or just call it a missed opportunity.
  2. Lawrence's style is purely will-it-stick-the-wall-or-not, and when it doesn't he looks pretty puny up there on the big screen.
  3. Mildly amusing, both charming and diverting, it plays like a La La Land home movie.
  4. The adherence to specific facts and actual events hampers the film, as it often does biographical movies.
  5. A weirdly stillborn experience.
  6. Beautifully shot, full of lush, vibrant colors and expertly wrought sets...a club-kid's frothy date flick.
  7. If it is never really as profound as it seems to think it is, American Beauty is consistently entertaining, and it earns points simply for acknowledging that all may not be perfect in the current boom years.
  8. Fancher seems uninterested in developing real suspense, or incapable of it, at least until the end, when there's plenty of it, but artificially imposed.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    A sort of "Pretty Woman" for the underworld.
  9. A painfully unfunny movie.
  10. Gorgeous and troubling.
  11. A careful, intelligent, and seamless design that makes room for a couple of unexpected twists.
  12. An absurdist Eastern European version of "The Godfather," starring the Marx Brothers (and sisters and nephews and...).
    • 28 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Lurches on for the better part of two hours with a ludicrous plot and even worse dialogue, interspersed with what look like excerpts from a music video made by some naughty Catholic-school graduates.
  13. Simplistic on one level, indecipherable on another, it's a most peculiar muddle.
  14. Entertaining as it often is, Outside Providence feels as if it were a collection of installments from an unusually raunchy television series.
  15. Isn't a bad action movie -- it's just an utterly forgettable one.
  16. With the possible exception of the action sequences and the occassionally imaginitive set design, it's awful.
  17. It can be treacly -- but in a crude way, it makes its point.
  18. One of the least endurable films of 1999.
  19. Derivative, cliché-ridden and old hat.
  20. A rather flimsy but moderately charming British romance comedy.
  21. As flat as the brim of a Mountie hat.
  22. LL Cool J... is downright scary -- a mix of coiled charm and underlying menace.
  23. The new dud from Miramax's Dimension label.
  24. Atrocious comedy.
  25. Custom-made for an audience of mouth-breathers.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 80 Critic Score
    A good-natured farce. It's also really, really funny.
  26. Strangely enough, this movie provides a lot of the James Bond veneer that has been missing from recent James Bond movies.
