  1. While the film is slightly better than similar efforts Allen made between the ’90s and his recent time in Europe, it’s both too broad and too shallow.
  2. A fast and relentless hostage thriller that never stops.
  3. Though slickly packaged, Robert Kenner's unsparing exposé is harder to watch than any horror film.
  4. For the first time since "The Nutty Professor," Eddie Murphy successfully mixes his adult and kid-film personas -- imagine that.
  5. Intermittently compelling biography.
  6. Though we see the same man throughout the bumpy tour captured here -- always calm, steady, faithful -- it's bound to prove an enlightening portrait for those who know him only as the guy who once worked with Peter Gabriel.
  7. Despite the overwrought plot and unabashed pretension, there's something admirable about the fact that Coppola clearly made this movie for himself. But he shouldn't be surprised if few others join him in watching it.
  8. Amusing as it is, it never feels real.
  9. Director Donald Petrie doesn’t have much to brag about here, but at least he gives us some nice scenery to look at.
  10. If we learn anything from Away We Go, it’s that a lack of ambition might not be such a bad thing after all.
  11. This lumbering, ha-ha-look-what-we-remade action-comedy is a high-concept disaster.
  12. Unpleasantly icy film based on a true story.
  13. The good news for Carey is that she gets to prove she's a pretty decent actress after all. The bad news, of course, is that she's done it in a movie no one has any other reason to see.
  14. Director Megumi Sasaki's film feels like a cozy visit with neighbors whose insights are priceless.
  15. Up
    While their latest achievement can't quite one-up "WALL-E," it offers soaring highs that are bound to enchant viewers of any age.
  16. Drag Me to Hell is an eyeball-gouging lesson in how to make a genre flick and live to tell about it.
  17. A horror flick that's all talk and (almost) no action? The risk pays off better than you'd think.
  18. Glatzer's self-consciously quirky indie is misguided on every level.
  19. There's an art to making a good spoof, but good luck finding it in Dance Flick, not only because the movie goes for easy toilet humor, but because it often relies on it to stay afloat.
  20. A quiet, oddly serene movie with a curious soul.
  21. Far surpasses original.
  22. Nowhere near as kinky or thinky as Soderbergh’s "sex, lies and videotape," Girlfriend pretends it has more on its mind than it really does.
  23. A vital one for movie fans.
  24. We could all use a little more Noel Coward in our lives. But the fizz falls flat in Stephan Elliot's adaptation of a lesser-known play, which, while blithe enough, has little spirit to speak of.
  25. A fast-moving, rock 'em-sock 'em movie that continues the man-vs.-machines series begun 25 years ago.
  26. Anyone who doubts that a single individual can make a political impact should see Anders Østergaard’s gripping documentary.
  27. Despite the overlong running time, the action moves smoothly and swiftly.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    An overstuffed failure that mistakes sleight storytelling for dazzling entertainment.
  28. When a movie is this strange, it's gotta count for something.
  29. Too many threads are woven together here, but occasionally, it just connects.
