  1. If you're in the mood for a helping of lite cheesecake, you ought to find plenty of reason to shake your pom-poms.
  2. A raunchy, scattershot, but often hilarious spoof.
  3. Oy, it's such a pleasure that you'll be begging for Rush Hour 3.

    Shot on location, handheld camera, available light, no props, no music, no filters, etc. We may wonder, "What are we doing here?" But we won't look away.

  4. A shell of a film. It's a stripped-down and blown-out thriller than can only be measured by the sum of its action sequences.
  5. Hits the wall and runs off the rails. They should've stuck to shtick.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  6. Fans starving for some song and dance celluloid may be satiated, but this movie version really shows the material's age.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  7. Isn't terribly revealing, and though it is interesting to watch Condo paint, it's only interesting for so long.
  8. What matters is that the movie's a blast, right up until its protracted climax.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  9. The actors playing the team members have stereotypical roles, but these kids have got game.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  10. As classic romantic comedy goes, it ain't no "Tootsie."
  11. Sags, lollygags, and blusters too much to sustain the what-the-hell momentum that Kitano achieves in his best movies.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  12. Dippy, funny, and fast-paced enough to be a guilty pleasure.
  13. This predictable romantic comedy outing has occasional flickers of ingenuity.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  14. It's so plot heavy it never finds its nimble comic rhythm.
  15. An elegant, haunting folktale.
  16. A witty, if overextended, take on pornography.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  17. Folks who are desperate to ogle Hewitt and Weaver probably can't be warned off this turkey.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  18. Without full-bodied characters to play, Smith and Damon are left to get by on their native charm -- something both have in considerable quantity, thankfully.
  19. An audacious but underconceived blend of fiction and documentary that questions the idea of race and identity in America.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  20. A matted hairball of a kiddie flick that's alternately maudlin and slapstickishly violent.
    • Mr. Showbiz
    • 46 Metascore
    • 87 Critic Score
    Though modest in scale, this romantic gem constitutes yet another superb leap in the evolution of Figgis' career.
  21. This one's all labor pains, and, in the end, nothing gets delivered.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  22. A reliably solid treat.
  23. As its plot is entirely negligible, whether or not you enjoy One Night at McCool's probably depends on how funny you think the performances are.
  24. Populated with whiny, unappealing characters that are impossible to care about and flatly staged sitcomish set-pieces...this lame Canadian import's a real woofer.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  25. While both leads are appealing enough, it's the stuff on the sidelines that keeps All Over the Guy entertaining.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  26. An empty reminder that Martin Lawrence can be pretty funny, in a spastic, loose-limbed way -- maybe next time he'll get a worthwhile script.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  27. Watching this movie go through its simplistic dramatic motions, you begin to understand why some actors stick to summer stock and live Ibsen revivals.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  28. Banderas may have been crazy to make such a heady directorial debut, but it's hard not to be charmed by his ambitions.
