  1. Should be shot at sunrise. Or strung up by the neck from a tall tree. Or at least run out of town by a big posse.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  2. The two leads have a wonderful chemistry together.
  3. This grade-Z programmer is a painfully earnest, clichéd, amateurish waste of time.
  4. Who the heck green-lit this garbage heap anyway?
    • Mr. Showbiz
  5. To say that it's dull barely scratches the surface.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  6. A fresh and beautifully timed, if slight, romantic comedy.
  7. This lightweight thriller has an enjoyable premise.
  8. McKenna's script is a frayed string and a contextual nightmare, peppered with puzzling references to the first film in a lame attempt at homage.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  9. Engagingly silly sub-"Moonlighting"-style banter.
  10. Oak-stiff and witless, but a few scenes muster up embarrassed chuckles.
  11. Filthy fun, if not much more.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  12. I'd rather go on an all-Crisco diet than sit through Poor White Trash again.
  13. A sleek rip-off of "The Birds" that is fast, furious, and watchable, but lacking in the two elements most essential to a silly screamfest like this: scares and laughs.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  14. If you're expecting an experience approximately as dumb, badly acted, and childish as a pro wrestling match, you'll be pleasantly surprised.
  15. Beautiful it ain't, but it is kind of cute.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  16. A drearily over-cynical farce.
  17. A miserable western that is clearly headed downward toward the latter destination.
  18. There's no spirit of adventure to separate this one from the pack.
  19. 80 minutes of comic mistiming and missed opportunities.
  20. Black, who is creatively marooned in the thankless Chris Farley fat-boy role, deserve better, and so do we.
  21. If you can overlook its condescending wholesomeness and static, visually drab, endlessly repetitious animation, then you have a more forgiving soul than I do.
  22. The satisfaction of watching it essentially boils down to seeing whether or not Reeves can pull it off.
  23. Hark! A Christian thriller about the Last Days that doesn't (totally) suck. That's got to be a sign of the times.
  24. It's a sugar rush that'll leave you feeling like a rotten cavity.
  25. A thoroughgoing mediocrity that musters up just enough low-down chuckles to remind you that you're not watching another Freddie Prinze Jr. yawner.
  26. This talky, self-important flick is a bore of biblical proportions.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  27. A pleasant and surprisingly polished fish-out-of-water comedy.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  28. Better, as they say, than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick -- but only just.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  29. Whenever we're not at the ballpark, the film falls back on teenage relationship clichés. That's most of what's wrong with it, actually.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  30. Vapid, humorless, screeching, and utterly suckworthy.
    • Mr. Showbiz
