Two points save "Lousy 2" from the absolute abyss. One is a couple of imaginative touches in the art design: Cori drives an old Citroen, and a couple of Vespa-like motor scooters are briefly glanced. The other is the performance of Frewer, who played the lead in TV's "Max Headroom." He endows the character with more sardonic humor than we have a right to expect from the junky script by TV-oriented director Farhad Mann.- San Francisco Examiner

Clooney's stiff cornball delivery and tendency to smile during the most tragic moments bring this as close to the cartoonish Batman television series of the 1960s as any of the movies have come.- San Francisco Examiner

Timely in that it joins an already mammoth list of bad movies about post-hippie static, including the recent "Steal This Movie."- San Francisco Examiner

Moore can't help but be rotten. She has no grace and little nuance, which is why she's always best as a hard-ass in movies.- San Francisco Examiner

Of course, there's little else of interest about Pokemon beyond the consumption factor. Buy more.- San Francisco Examiner

It should be renamed "Drop Dead Ghetto" and hauled off to the "Jerry Springer" hall of shame.- San Francisco Examiner

Vampire is hardly a consequential film, nor does it suggest hitherto buried reserves of Murphy's talent. But it's a diverting mixture of horror, romance and comedy.- San Francisco Examiner

A gooey-sweet, beautifully photographed romantic fantasy…It's also -- at the risk of sounding like a Grinch -- a mess.- San Francisco Examiner

Could have been maudlin from start to finish. Instead, more than half the 154-minute film is riveting - filled with funny, touching bits that don't stoop to cheap sentimentality.- San Francisco Examiner

Any movie that opens with a Goo Goo Dolls song and ends with a line like "I'm going to live -- just not as long as you" is bound to leave somebody reaching for a Kleenex.- San Francisco Examiner

Schlesinger, working from a script by Amanda Silver ( "The Hand that Rocks the Cradle" ) and Rick Jaffa (he produced that film), gives the film a zippy pace and a natural momentum as direct as a hot knife negotiating a butter stick. Schlesinger is also still canny at casting.- San Francisco Examiner
