    A fascinating fictional documentary.
  1. This totally sucks.
  2. Seriously undermined by its sour tone and an unusually charmless performance by star Chris O'Donnell.

    Sitting through this charmless romantic comedy is like going to a restaurant and being seated next to a drunken couple who argue throughout dinner: It's messy, embarrassing and absolutely none of your business, but there's no escape.
  3. It's all pretty entertaining in a shallow sort of way.

    A psychologically acute profile of one teenaged girl obsessed with leading what she thinks of as normal life.
  4. Climaxes in an ending of such sleazy preposterousness that it's almost worth the price of admission alone.
  5. A tragicomic Holocaust fable that's by turns silly, triumphant and achingly sad.
  6. There are poignant moments in this apocalyptic "what if" exercise.

    An exciting dramatization of the strange events that marked the turning of the legal tide against Big Tobacco, and a particularly dark moment in the annals of CBS News.
  7. Hugely entertaining.

    Wildly entertaining and quite poignant.

    Mimics the kind of comedy that doesn't date particularly well to begin with.
  8. Visually dazzling, touching and funny.
  9. Is there anything more irritating than an exploitation filmmaker with self-referentiality on the brain?
  10. (A) languorous, mud-spattered psychological tale.

    Fanciful and highly entertaining docudrama.
  11. Slight, over-long.
  12. It all seems terribly familiar.
  13. (Salerno-Sonnenberg's) determination and resilience should speak to a broader audience.
  14. For horror fans in a forgiving mood, it's an adequate fear fix.
  15. Its imagery is never less than breathtakingly beautiful, and is occasionally truly awesome
  16. Bizarre, utterly original and truly indescribable comedy...You just have to see it for yourself.

    An uncomfortable go at romantic comedy that belabors the same mistaken-for-gay premise as"In & Out," but without much of that film's charm.
  17. This flashy and ultimately conservative morality tale relies on shockingly frank sex talk to cover the fact that the characters are shockingly poorly developed.
  18. (Griffith's) appearance often verges on the grotesque. Which, come to think of it, could be said of the movie as well.
  19. The downside is that it all feels like a big in-joke, and you're not in on it.
  20. A throwback to the slickly entertaining melodramas of Hollywood's golden age.

    Not many films have the power to change how one sees other people, but this remarkable anthology of loosely connected shorts from writer-director David Riker just might.
  21. Falls far short of its grim potential.
