  1. The first commandment of Dogma: Thou shalt not stop laughing.
    • Rolling Stone
  2. Formula mother-brat stuff...It's only the deft teamwork of Portman and Sarandon that keeps the triteness at bay.
    • Rolling Stone
  3. For the 148 minutes it takes "The Messenger" to deliver its message, being John Malkovich or Milla Jovovich is really no fun at all.
    • Rolling Stone
  4. Abandon all hope of logic, you who enter here.
    • Rolling Stone
  5. With it's dynamite performances, strafing wit and dramatic provocation, The Insider offers Mann at his best -- blood up, unsanitized and unbowed.
    • Rolling Stone
  6. A lighter-than-air comedy than runs on pure fizz.
    • Rolling Stone
  7. If "Mr. Holland's Opus" made you puke, you'd better bring a bucket to this true-life weepie about the importance of teaching music in schools.
    • Rolling Stone
  8. The crazy-ass imagination at work in Being John Malkovich hits you like a blast of pure oxygen...this movie of constant astonishments will make you laugh hard and long.
    • Rolling Stone
  9. The kind of movie that TV stars do when they're on hiatus and trying to squeeze one in.
    • Rolling Stone
  10. Trash.
    • Rolling Stone
  11. Somehow, Lucille's plight is meant to comment astutely on the civil-rights movement. Now that IS crazy.
    • Rolling Stone
  12. Charmer of a comedy.
    • Rolling Stone
  13. Cage, who gives a blazing, imposive performance, uses his haunted eyes to reveal the emotional scars that Frank can't heal.
    • Rolling Stone
  14. Turns into a bogus drivel courtesy of a sitcom monster.
    • Rolling Stone
  15. Lynch takes us on a journey of shattering understatement -- a remarkable accomplishment.
    • Rolling Stone
  16. Pulls you in, challenges your prejudices, rocks your world and leaves you laughing in the face of an abyss. It's alive, all right. It's also an uncompromising American classic.
    • Rolling Stone
  17. Even a search party would be hard-pressed to find a spark between Harrison Ford and Kristin Scott Thomas in Pollack's latest tear-jerker.
    • Rolling Stone
  18. A mesmerizing mood piece.
    • Rolling Stone
  19. No dice...But no apologies are needed for Shannon--she earns her star spot.
    • Rolling Stone
  20. A shockingly intimate and deeply affecting film about the roots of sexual role playing.
    • Rolling Stone
  21. Keeps the laughs coming, and a dynamo named Steve Zahn is the cheif reason why. It's a one-joke movie, but the cast knows how to sell it.
    • Rolling Stone
  22. When it comes to rousing action, whip-smart laughs and moral uplift that doesn't pump sunshine up your ass, Three Kings rules.
    • Rolling Stone
  23. Judd is slumming again in ths lame suspense yarn that could barely pass as a TV quickie without the bankable names of Judd, Tommy Lee Jones and director Bruce Beresford.
    • Rolling Stone
  24. A fine case ... but none weighty enough to keep this fluff from evaporating as you watch it.
    • Rolling Stone
  25. The self-congratulatory histrionics of Williams, lower lip trembling as he triumphs over torture in the name of the human spirit, represents a trend in Hollywood to make accessible melodrama out of unspeakable tragedy.
    • Rolling Stone
  26. Offers something magical in the haunting and hypnotic performance of Sarah Polley...(the film) cuts deep.
    • Rolling Stone
  27. Never adds up to anything more substantial than shrewd observations. There's no dramatic core.
    • Rolling Stone
  28. A cheerless exercise.
    • Rolling Stone
  29. Plays like an unholy union of "The Natural" and "The Prince of Tides." Too bad...Build a movie as a shrine to baseball and they will come. Suckers!
    • Rolling Stone
  30. Quite a spectacle, but the movie falls flat.
    • Rolling Stone
