  1. Smart, funny and ingeniously detailed with terrific vocal teamwork.
  2. A slick, sweet, fast-paced, feel-good romantic fantasy that's fairly irresistible if you can keep your cynicism in check for a couple of hours.
  3. Laughs are few and far between, and the film feels brutally long.
  4. For all of Linklater's acrobatic camera moves, you never quite escape the feeling you're watching a barely adapted TV version of a somewhat gimmicky stage play.
  5. A refreshingly unpretentious little thriller.
  6. Despite its visual brilliance, its all-round cleverness, and the way it demonstrates a profound understanding of genre, the Coen brothers' The Man Who Wasn't There doesn't quite come off.
  7. The biggest load of New Agey hogwash to grace the big screen since Spacey's "Pay it Forward."
  8. More "it stinks" than *NSYNC.
  9. A strange Gallic imitation of a Woody Allen comedy, replete with a neurotic older hero.
  10. The result is an intermittently instructive and amusing jumble that might have been seen as daring and "transgressive" in both form and content if it had been released, say, three decades ago.
  11. Rambles on for nearly two hours with subplots that go nowhere -- and half-baked leftist political commentary -- before focusing in for a quietly devastating climax.
  12. Light on dialogue and heavy on creepy atmosphere. See this movie and a visit to the tailor's will never be the same.
  13. An overwrought, ramshackle weepie that really doesn't deserve Kline's Oscar-caliber work.
  14. The movie's only redeeming qualities are its stars.
  15. What follows is very gruesome indeed, though the footage of people being chased by hideous ghosts soon becomes rather dull.
  16. A very elegant and fit-looking Omar Sharif appears as the on-screen narrator and Kate Maberly ("The Secret Garden") plays his granddaughter in a framing story.
  17. Most experienced filmmakers wouldn't even attempt a film that's so blackly funny, that so rapidly shifts genres and tone, and that layers late '80s cultural references so thickly, from "E.T." to Smurfs.
  18. A silly, boring supernatural thriller that squanders a potentially interesting premise and the rapper Snoop Dogg in his ostensible starring debut.
  19. The film's strong point is its stylish, arty look, carefully chosen composition and shadowy lighting.
  20. It's unfortunate that the people DuBowski profiles tend to be self-indulgent or otherwise unappealing. It's still more unfortunate that the film focuses more on relatively easy issues of acceptance.
  21. Unusual and utterly disarming documentary.
  22. Wants to be a "Last Tango in Paris" for the new millennium, but its flaccid dramatization and hollow moralizing doesn't rise even to the level of last year's "An Affair of Love," let alone Bertolucci's masterpiece.
  23. Obviously a labor of love for all involved, including GOP mayoral candidate Michael Bloomberg, who bankrolled the production and receives full producer credit. He deserves it.
  24. A self-indulgent work.
  25. A stylish look and a fair amount of hot and heavy sex (mostly hetero), and the final shootout is pretty nifty.
  26. Gripping and stylish thriller.
  27. It's an even rarer pleasure to see a film that combines exciting action with a smart, well-informed script and vivid yet restrained performances.
  28. A messy, woefully uneven chick flick.
  29. A breakthrough animated film -- a trippy cross between "Yellow Submarine" and "My Dinner With Andre" that will leave some audience members struggling to stay awake and others reaching for a toke.
  30. Mildly interesting.
