To be fair, Rudd and Bell are cute and funny in their scenes together, and Rudd salvages a few laughs with his deadpan line readings.

Galifianakis tries hard, and he has a few nice moments with guest star Melissa McCarthy, but this is a movie to make teetotalers of us all.

The film wears out its welcome by the halfway mark, becoming a silly spectacle.

It's a thriller, if the term can be applied to an inept, perfunctory movie with more laughs than thrills — and it only has a couple laughs. Let's call it an attempted thriller and an inadvertent comedy.

Nothing near a modern vampire classic. Still, "Queen" is a great dose of vamp camp

For every gag that flies there are at least one-and-a-half that don't.

Boring and fundamentally silly.

Washington can't save a picture that spends so much time worrying about a heart that it loses its head.

It's also a real shame that such a fascinating reminder of how far civil rights have come in the last five decades has been reduced to such a turkey of a film.

It's as sullying and disheartening an experience as the movies can offer .

If you've recently watched that great skateboarding documentary "Dogtown and Z-Boys," Grind will play like a soft-pedaled Afterschool Special.

Isn't a complete waste of time. If Kutcher seeks to transition from national joke to lightweight actor, he's made a decent stab at it.

It all makes you realize the importance of the guy who should have played Malkovich's role -- Christopher Walken. He makes films like this bearable.

This is supposed to be a movie about obsession. Instead it's just cupcake meets beefcake, with a big glass of milk on the side. And that's one Valentine's Day dinner you can easily pass up.

It's depressing to see attractive performers like Alley and Larroquette work so hard to such little effect on their vacations from TV. [16 Feb 1990, p.G14]

A movie so lame that Keanu Reeves lends it gravity with his mere presence.

In The Tuxedo, ridiculously, Chan's just a suit. A suit walking Jennifer Love Hewitt's breasts around. Chan deserves better.

Had Williams chopped away more pointedly at the rambling script, he might've had something memorable.

Given the abundance of tedious sex in She Hate Me it's no wonder the whole thing's such a turn-off.

Loaded is draggy and repetitious in spots. But consider its task -- poking fun at a genre that is more than half comedy to begin with. And the remainder is so silly that restaging it is lampoon enough. [6 Feb 1993, p.C07]

May be the most boring film about forbidden love ever made. Unspectacularly shot on video, terribly scripted, with zombie-like acting that borders on the absurd.

The film is so-so, but producer/writer Bob Kaufman, flush with the success of Love at First Bite said High Cost was the forerunner of a new way of life. [04 Aug 1991, p.34]

Starring Linda Blair and the late Tamara Dobson, it's the ultimate women-in-prison movie and a landmark of exploitation cinema. [02 Oct 2009]

Extremely dumb, sporadically funny.

Few movies feel quite so perfunctory or needless or pointless as this one.

Reprehensible.

Compare it with the book, and it stinks. Look at the film on its own, and it still stinks.

Director Stephen Elliott has acquitted himself admirably in creating this serious thriller.
