  1. What DePalma has never made is a dull movie. Until now.
    • Rolling Stone
  2. Essentially an old-fashioned weepie gussied up for Y2K.
    • Rolling Stone
  3. Tries for deadpan laughs but is merely lifeless.
    • Rolling Stone
  4. This comedy is packed with p---- jokes, the cruder the better.
    • Rolling Stone
  5. Some movies are too good to miss. Judy Berlin is one of them...It works like magic.
    • Rolling Stone
  6. It bristles with the brute force he brought to 1986's underrated "52 Pick-Up."
    • Rolling Stone
  7. Michael Douglas digs deep and delivers one of his best performances in Wonder Boys -- a comic dazzler of roguish wit and touching gravity that is driven by characters, not jokes.
    • Rolling Stone
  8. Fierce, funny and vividly moving.
    • Rolling Stone
  9. The idea of the boiler room as a Y2K gladiator ring for disenfranchised youth provides a proactive new twist.
    • Rolling Stone
  10. The film falls short; only Peet goes the whole nine yards.
    • Rolling Stone
  11. Colorful and exciting, as far as it goes. But Boyle and Hodge pull back on their usual wit and grit.
    • Rolling Stone
  12. Elliot fails to make the needed connection between the audience and a peeper who has lost his moral balance.
    • Rolling Stone
  13. Just isn't enough.
    • Rolling Stone
  14. Irresistibly silly.
    • Rolling Stone
  15. A delicate gem.
  16. (Shelton) knows how to write pungent dialogue that covers a multitude of sins when the film goes off the rails.
    • Rolling Stone
  17. Taymor's visual and visceral flair makes Titus a grabber.
    • Rolling Stone
  18. The talented Mr. Minghella has made an imperfect movie but not an impersonal one. His morality tale means to get under the skin, and does.
    • Rolling Stone
  19. You won't forget the way Carrey transcends mere impersonation to find the roots of Andy's torment.
    • Rolling Stone
  20. A promise unfulfilled.
    • Rolling Stone
  21. The year's most beguilling and touching surprise. Bravo.
    • Rolling Stone
  22. One of the best movies of the year--startling, innovative, hugely funny and powerfully, courageously moving.
    • Rolling Stone
  23. Isn't much of a movie, but it's worth a look just to see screen legend Kirk Douglas, Michael's eighty-three-year-old father, kick ass.
    • Rolling Stone
  24. Compared with ("The Sixth Sense"), there's no contest. Stir of Echoes has been outrun and outclassed.
    • Rolling Stone
  25. But just watch Hanks, with the effortless grace of a Jimmy Stewart, turn the loony into something sweetly logical. Now that is magic.
    • Rolling Stone
  26. McTeer and Brown make magic ina film that is wonderfully funny, touching and vital.
    • Rolling Stone
  27. A meditation on the racial and class conflicts at the heart of the American character.
    • Rolling Stone
  28. Pedro Almodovar's transfixing tragicomedy -- the best foreign movie of the year -- is also the best showcase for actresses in ages.
    • Rolling Stone
  29. Gorgeous filmmaking that brims over with funhouse thrills and ravishing romance.
    • Rolling Stone
  30. I could have done more with the edgy humor of "Diner" and "Tin Men" and less of the mythmaking of "Avalon."
    • Rolling Stone
