    For those in the 3 to 5 bracket, Elmo doesn't often aim wrong.

  1. All the right elements for a rollicking farce, except one: The movie isn't funny.
    • Miami Herald
  2. Humdrum hybrid of stale sitcom characters and creaky sports cliches.
    • Miami Herald
  3. A tad too raunchy for its own good.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    That it manages a certain air of likability is due solely to the considerable charms of Grenier.
    • Miami Herald
  4. Impossible to resist.
  5. Bad in a good way if you appreciate this sort of silly thriller.
    • Miami Herald
  6. A little like a secular, more sophisticated "Touched by an Angel" episode.
    • Miami Herald
  7. Flat and forced, Jakob the Liar aspires to be a poignant parable about the power of hope but instead uses one of humanity's greatest tragedies for trite melodrama.
  8. The real love affair in For Love of the Game is between Costner and himself.
    • Miami Herald
  9. The story is stale, action uninspired, pacing lackadaisical. The whole production looks a little cut-rate, too.
    • Miami Herald
  10. Remarkably astute and devastatingly funny.
    • Miami Herald
    • 23 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    A sporadically hilarious, acid-tongued romp through the darker sides of romance that refuses to back down.
    • Miami Herald
  11. One frenetic movie that doesn't know when to quit -- and leaves you wishing it could go on forever.
    • Miami Herald
  12. A garish clashing of sacred images and bloody semihorror, this is a movie that defines the category: interesting failure.
    • Miami Herald
  13. The effort is earnest, but the plot turns more and more implausible.
    • Miami Herald
  14. Aggressively bland coming-of-age story.
    • Miami Herald
  15. A grand, eye-popping film, a beautifully photographed epic with the depth of a Bugs Bunny Cartoon.
    • Miami Herald
    • 38 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    (Theron) and Depp give lazy, almost irrelevant performances... resolutely unmoving.
    • Miami Herald
  16. A blatant sell-out, a wink-nudge pander to Hollywood, disguised as satire.
    • Miami Herald
    • 44 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Wilson's plot compulsively leaps from paper-thin to near-incoherent.
    • Miami Herald
  17. LL Cool J. plays God like a medieval king.
    • Miami Herald
  18. A spectacularly mediocre movie.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    More than adequate performances by Grant and Caan, who play off each other with a relative degree of aplomb.
    • Miami Herald
  19. Certainly pleasant, but it's also a bit safe.
    • Miami Herald
    • 81 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Somewhat lumbering but ultimately rewarding plot.
    • Miami Herald
  20. Overdone performances mar the fine ones -- (Turturro) has become, alas, a hambone.
    • Miami Herald
  21. The kind of uplifting film families can enjoy without any reservations.
  22. Never shies from acknowledging the natural fascination with their abnormalities.
  23. The Haunting is ultimately another example of Hollywood at its most bloated and misguided [23 July 1999, p.9G]
