  1. I'm beginning to think writer Nicholas Sparks isn't one person at all, but a roomful of ladies doing Harlequin-romance Mad Libs. Occasionally they'll hit a winning combination, as in the Sparks novel "The Notebook." More often, you get eye-rollers like "The Lucky One."
  2. This franchise really belongs in the rearview mirror.
  3. The awkwardly titled Unfreedom clearly waves the flag for acceptance and nonviolence — but it would be more effective if it invested as much in some cinematic nuance.
  4. The movie's prideful silliness makes it semi-watchable in the manner of Saturday afternoon cable flicks like "Delta Force."
  5. So feeble it fails even as train-wreck exploitation. I’d be unkind, but not entirely inaccurate, to label Coppola’s sophomoric, er, sophomore effort as a director an offer you can refuse.
  6. The finished product looks like it was thrown together during a lunch break -- by a drunk person. The level of ineptitude on display in this urban version of "Three Men and a Baby" is simply gobsmacking.
  7. Presumably, Deville wants to show life returning to normal after WWII, but in the context of this inert movie, "normal" equals "tedious."

    Here, Saget can't even find a consistent tone, varying between all-out slapstick and attempts at dark comedy. Then again, it's hard to milk yuks out of murder, prison rape, bestiality, incest, homelessness and guns in school. [13 Jun 1998, p.023]

  8. The three friends do things that venture beyond entertainingly dumb and into exasperatingly unbelievable.
  9. Sounds like a great idea for a gay porno, but the soapy Save Me actually takes itself seriously.
  10. Splinterheads might suffice some late night on cable, but that's about it.
  11. Shove people into categories, then into a film like Think Like a Man, and it's a recipe for tedium.
  12. Occasionally there is a striking image or a moment of wounded sweetness, but mainly the film provides ample proof that it's possible to be bizarre and boring at the same time.
  13. The tragedy of Hutchins’ death overshadows anything that’s good about the film, sadly including her own grand cinematography.
  14. A shrill farce that strains credibility even by the standards of black comedy.
  15. As far as I’m concerned, death couldn’t arrive quickly enough for these eight stereotypically self-absorbed Los Angelenos gathered for Sunday brunch at which the hosts (Blaise Miller, Erinn Hayes) plan to announce the demise of their marriage.
  16. The latest catastrophe from the Weinstein Co.
  17. While there are some scattered laughs, the flimsy and nonsensical script - combined with the sledgehammer direction by Brian Robbins, make the similarly themed "Big Momma's House" look like Noel Coward.
  18. Unfortunately, Scorpion King has none of the qualities -- epic sweep, relative originality and heartfelt bloodthirstiness -- that made "Conan" so trashily entertaining.

    Do not see this movie if you like children, dogs, hands or Hungarian folk music. The Prodigy, the latest in a long, increasingly lousy line of bloodthirsty kid movies, might spoil all of the above for you.
  19. Overlong, blandly soporific.
  20. An excellent case for euthanizing the entire talking-animals genre.
  21. As much as we like Alec as an actor, it's hard to imagine that any amount of editing and reshooting under his supervision could salvage his complete ineptitude as a director.
  22. The dreary, direct-to-video quality of the script, acting and cinematography in this latest entry seemed to inspire more yawns than screams, and not a few titters.

  23. “Solo,” sadly, should be frozen forever in carbonite.
  24. If boy bands weren't already passé, Harry and Max would finish the job.
  25. The film plays like one long commercial. The music's cool, but you're better off buying the CD.
  26. There's potential here, but the script is entirely too, shall we say, Hollywood. There's even a dog-poop joke.
  27. Boring and desperately unfunny.
  28. How cheap-looking is the modern-day romantic tragedy Private Romeo? Take a couple of friends to see it, and the amount you spend may exceed the amount the filmmakers did.
