  1. Strives for folksy charm but ends up just lying there like a plate of kippers.
  2. For audiences new to this type of moon-mad magical realism and unembarrassed romanticism, Orfeu can spellbind.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  3. Love & Sex is nothing but pain and suffering.
  4. Fuhgeddaboutit.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  5. Gets to the funny bone, but it could've cut deeper.
  6. Never better than middling, despite its best intentions.
  7. Repetitive, aimless, and as frustrating as you'd imagine any two-hour music video to be.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  8. Brand-new and uproariously unimproved.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  9. Dreadful demonic disaster.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  10. Appears to have been written and directed by a grade-school dropout snorting airplane glue.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  11. An agreeably and unapologetically lightweight late-summer blockbuster.
  12. It's amiable enough, but the only real opportunity here is to see Walken step out of the shadows.
  13. Ultimately too slight and opaque to inspire much ardor.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  14. Has its funky charms.
  15. To say that it's dull barely scratches the surface.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  16. One of the year's best imports and one of the very few queer movies that transcends its sexual orientation.
  17. A charming movie.
  18. After an uproarious first half, Saving Grace arrives at its conclusion somewhat hastily and conveniently.
  19. Better, as they say, than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick -- but only just.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  20. Struggles like a fat kid on the gym rope to conjure up even a single decent laugh.
  21. He's (Eastwood) made a mature film that bests nearly all of the summer's highly touted blockbusters for pure escapism.
  22. Plays out like a raunchy episode of "Felicity."
    • Mr. Showbiz
  23. Filthy fun, if not much more.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  24. Mad About Mambo's steps may be as familiar as the hokeypokey, but there's just enough gusto in the execution to make it a guilty pleasure.
  25. Too often, the movie is more forced and frantic than actually funny.
  26. (Paradis) delivers what might be the most affecting film performance ever given by a supermodel.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  27. It's another subtle, fantastic performance from McKee ("Notting Hill," "Croupier").
  28. The best film we'll see this year.
    • Mr. Showbiz
  29. Disheveled tripe pieced together with the good intentions.
  30. Along the way, we end up losing patience with our couple-to-be because they seem too smart to endure the indignities ceaselessly heaped on them.
