  1. Deliriously inventive.
  2. After a few movies in which Paltrow was in danger of becoming a caricature of herself, she's back in rare form.
  3. Surprisingly poignant, thanks to its enduring sense of tenderness.
  4. Enjoy Christmas in Paris, if you don't have enough problems of your own, with this slice of family life from French director Daniele Thompson.
  5. The truth about Lies is that it's a case of art-house porn being more porn than art.
  6. Like Schwarzenegger himself, it looks tired, and a little bored.
  7. Will Rugrats fans love it -- Wee, we -- er, oui, oui.
  8. A gripping thriller whose terror -- unfortunately -- comes from real life.
  9. Crude and giggly.
  10. Would that the film were as interesting as the setting.
  11. It's a compassionate story about what makes people tick and what really matters.
  12. The best performance comes from Venora.
  13. Watch out for space junk.
  14. One of the more uplifting films of the season.
  15. This Asian-flavored Hitchcock is a complicated tale with no easy answers.
  16. Hey, kids! Skip the job fairs and go directly to a screening of Me & Isaac Newton.
  17. All the subtlety of an Olive Garden commercial.
  18. A temple of enlightenment posing as a movie.
  19. Powerful theater.
  20. Rather than heightening our sense of empathy, we become numbed by the repetition.
  21. Intelligent and holds your attention, like a mystery story unraveling.
  22. An update with a jolt of sheer exuberance.
  23. None of the children are professionals, and their uncontrived performances lend a painfully real quality to what becomes a rather lyrical story.
  24. It's hard not to feel empowered by Nathalie Baye.
  25. Close call as to who's career has sunk farthest.
  26. Meadows is very good with the boys' relationship, and achieves his and Fraser's central goal of showing how childhood bonds can be simultaneously fragile and strong.
  27. As urban gangster drama, Once in the Life is way below mundane, and Fishburne's direction exceeds the rookie jitters.
  28. This is ensemble work at its best.
  29. The characters she (Ephron) invents are not very interesting, and aside from the always reliable Travolta, the performances are uniformly aligned.
  30. In Bahman Ghobadi's heart-tugger about Kurdish orphans, those wide eyes are too often used as a manipulative device.
