  1. Has the feel of an instant classic, a melodrama with an exacting precision and a visceral, propulsive energy.

  2. If I were 8, I would want to see it 800 times.
    • Miami Herald
  3. An oddly flat, quirky romantic comedy.
    • Miami Herald
  4. When the youngsters are out of the way and old pros Hackman and Weaver work, it's hard to really dislike Heartbreakers. Sometimes, it's even a little bit of harmless fun.
    • Miami Herald
  5. The brothers (Farrelly) produced Say It Isn't So, which bears their stamp in every frame and features all of the elements their movies are known for, except one: laughter.
    • Miami Herald
  6. Enemy at the Gates will pique your interest in the Battle of Stalingrad, but it leaves that interest sadly unsated.
    • Miami Herald
  7. Fiendishly tricky contraption.
    • Miami Herald
  8. Sitch keeps the tone consistently light, scoring big laughs all the way to the film's climax.
  9. Not about sex; it's about leaps of faith, at work, in love, in life.
  10. It takes a concerted effort to make a movie as relentlessly stupid and grating as 15 Minutes.
    • Miami Herald
  11. Thanks to a superb cast headed by the popular Brazilian actress Regina Casé, this unorthodox tale is ultimately believable.
    • Miami Herald
  12. PG? Please. Might as well take a kid to Hannibal. At least that one was funnier and didn't implicate any noble breeds in its violence -- just humans.
    • Miami Herald
  13. Surprisingly enjoyable.
    • Miami Herald
  14. Oddly entertaining ride.
    • Miami Herald
  15. A shapeless, chaotic, overly frantic comedy that manages to make almost no sense, even if you're paying close attention.
  16. Celebrates a larger-than-life heroism that is, sadly, all too rare.

    If your kid is a fan of Disney's "Recess," one of the hotter properties on ABC's Saturday morning cartoon lineup, the new inspired-by-the-TV-show movie, Recess: School's Out, will be quite a hit.
    • Miami Herald
  17. The enigma of Reeves, sort of a human black hole on screen, works well in "The Matrix" but it drains the life from weepy romance.
  18. Nothing overly dramatic happens during the course of The Taste of Others but the characters prove to be engaging and their quite real human emotions are enough to carry it.
    • Miami Herald
  19. The timing is off, the gags lame, the twists predictable, the crudity rampant and unamusing.
  20. Brutal and devastating.
  21. It's best to just enjoy Hannibal for what it is: A decadent, elegant waltz about evil's seductive bloom. As sequels go, you could do a lot worse.
    • Miami Herald
  22. A dreamy, ravishing ode to romantic longing, and it is bound to frustrate people who like their movies to get to the point, or at the very least have one.
    • Miami Herald
  23. The movie ultimately turns out to be less about sex than it is about the point in a friendship where two people decide they will both be better off if they part ways.
    • Miami Herald
  24. It really is terrible the way films are being marketed to teens. They deserve decent movies, but instead they get glop like Head Over Heels. There ought to be a law.
    • Miami Herald
  25. The Wedding Planner dissolves into a mopey, leaden romance that piles on the contrivances before limping to its foregone -- and rote -- conclusion.
  26. The solemn, morose tone of The Pledge also guarantees a quick box office death: This is essentially a movie about bad things happening to good people, and if you have any interest in seeing this beautifully made bummer, don't wait too long.
  27. Annie DeSalvo, a first-time director and screenwriter, can't escape the made-for-TV feel but does manage to give her cast, mostly once-big names fallen from grace and popularity, flashes of humanity between lessons about various saints and sermons disguised as dialogue.
    • Miami Herald
  28. Snatch is admittedly superficial, if not downright disposable. More importantly, though, the movie is also fantastic, cheeky fun.
  29. This bleak, oh-so-dark comedy is one of the best movies you almost didn't get to see.
