  1. The quirky High Fidelity really deserves being called the first must-see movie of the century.
    • New York Post
  2. Hokey, inept tear-jerker.
    • New York Post
  3. Structurally flawed, occasionally shlocky, but written with unusual intelligence and subtlety.
  4. Doesn't have the emotional heft of his "Children of Paradise," but it's still moving.
    • New York Post
  5. An unusually well-written and satisfying multilayered drama that conveys the feel of urban India with more vivid accuracy than anything made in the subcontinent in recent years.
  6. First-time writer-director Mark Hanlon lands only glancing blows in this grim black comedy.
  7. You have to sit through 90 minutes that feel like three hours.
    • New York Post
  8. X
    Ignore the furiously overplotted, headache-inducing story -- derived from a series of comic books -- and focus on the exquisitely drawn Japanese animation.
  9. An assembly-line high-school comedy that flunks miserably in all three subjects.
  10. A cold, emptily stylish exercise -- and one that sorely lacks the speed and vigor that made "Lola" run.
  11. The kind of stand-up-and-cheer movie Hollywood is supposed to have forgotten how to make.
    • New York Post
  12. Doesn't shy from the ugly side, though it's far from the no-holds-barred exposé being touted in the ads.
    • New York Post
  13. Writer-director Julian Henriquez does a great job staging the lively musical numbers.
  14. OK premise quickly deteriorates into a silly, badly acted slasher movie -- minus the slasher.
    • New York Post
  15. Honest but also derivative and crude.
  16. Delightfully quirky.
  17. Part of the problem is that the Finbar character is both underdeveloped and unattractive - you don't get a sense of why anyone would miss him, let alone go searching for him in the snow. [17 Mar 2000]
    • New York Post
  18. It features well-below-par writing, acting, direction, special effects and music, while oozing a nauseating New Age sentimentality that undermines any tension in the underlying story.
  19. A non-thrilling occult thrillersolame and unoriginal that it would be an embarrassment for any director, much less a talent like Roman Polanski.
  20. A triumph of low-budget filmmaking.
    • New York Post
  21. Might have made a tolerable five-minute "mockumentary," but it's apparently meant seriously.
  22. It's still easily the funniest movie of the year.
  23. So filled with amusing, idiosyncratic touches and unexpectedly charming characters that you mostly don't mind its excesses.
    • New York Post
  24. Tasteless but sporadically uproarious black comedy.
    • New York Post
  25. If the movie were funny, the implicit sermonizing would be more tolerable, but apart from four or five good one-liners, The Next Best Thing is a thudding failure as a comedy.
  26. A criminally slow, all-but-laughless blaxploitation comedy.
    • New York Post
  27. Visually gorgeous despite its low budget, The Terrorist is a haunting film.
  28. Goes down as smoothly as a pint of Irish ale.
  29. Annoying.
  30. Simply not as involving or moving as it should be.
