  1. An agreeably and unapologetically lightweight late-summer blockbuster.
  2. None, repeat, none of this is funny.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  3. A swamp of clichés, contrivances, and cheap ham-and-cheese hero sentimentality.
  4. This might be as perfect a new-millennium Halloween creepshow as we can expect.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  5. The movie is as schmaltzy as I'd feared, and yet De Salvo does elicit some nice performances from her ensemble cast.
  6. On the whole, this documentary is best-suited to hardcore fans.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  7. A slick, simplistic, and laughable effort that's reminiscent of a bad Jerry Bruckheimer film. A really bad Bruckheimer film.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  8. Flows like day-old cement.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  9. Oh-so-tiresomely familiar.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  10. Whenever the movie's not in the midst of a cinematic spoof it loses considerable steam.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  11. Like its accordion-filled score, it's nothing but a golden moldie.
    • Mr. Showbiz
    • 28 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    An incomprehensible mess.
  12. Works best as romantic melodrama and is least convincing as a psychological suspenser.
  13. Kids deserve better than this. They deserve more respect than P2K is willing to give for the price of a Saturday matinee.
  14. A mockumentary about small-town beauty pageants that's so confidently unfunny it's DOA.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  15. Aims low and cheats on an ending, but meanwhile it's a bottom-shelf hoot.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  16. Duller-than-a-Vitalife-convention compilation of talking heads.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  17. As romantic comedies go, this is definitely not one you'd take to the altar, but you might enjoy having a cup of coffee with it.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  18. This is one of those movies in which there are only two types of people: officious yuppie pricks, and the beautiful folks who stop and smell the daisies. What keeps it (barely) from being completely intolerable is Keanu Reeves' hilariously awful lead performance.
  19. It's a yabba-dabba-delight.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  20. Plays out like a raunchy episode of "Felicity."
    • Mr. Showbiz
  21. Quite handsomely produced, and there's a definite swashbuckling verve to it. Most of the characters have been contemporized, but the actors are engaging.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  22. A clumsy, witless cartoon version of E.B. White's rather uncelebrated children's story.
    • 26 Metascore
    • 48 Critic Score
    This is one Rudolph opus that leaves no afterglow.
  23. Dracula 2000 is a stake in the heart.
  24. Without any momentum and lacking both depth and interesting characters, Shadow Hours makes sin seem pretty damn boring.
  25. The backdrop of exotic pagodas and wartime woe isn't nearly potent enough to buoy the feeble drama that plays out in the foreground.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  26. Offers little in the way of splendor in the grass.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  27. The film has an unabashed romantic tone that's matched by Wenders' usual flair for visual drama.
  28. Follows a predictable low-comedy path, but does it with such fierce appeal and beautifully wrought wit that it doesn't feel quite like any comedy American theaters have seen since the equally underrated "Grosse Pointe Blank."
