The movie is sure to appeal to fans of the show. But when quality family films, such as "Holes" and "Bend It Like Beckham," are also in theaters, why waste your time on this drivel? The answer, of course, is the kids will insist on it.

Blue Car is like an unpolished sapphire, at once harshly realistic and resplendent.

Casts a potent spell.

With moments of mind-bending creepiness, the film has potential, but eventually it devolves into merely a head-scratcher.

Even with Burns' smoothest performance yet as a lead, Confidence is on a level with Steven Soderbergh's blah remake of "Ocean's Eleven." But because no one is expecting much, it seems a little better.

Father and son Kirk and Michael Douglas' moments together are among the movie's best.

It won't be a waste of time to watch these people — on cable, and probably not too far in the future.

Those who sit through this mindlessness get the booby prize.

Think of a B-grade "Bulworth" with lesser talents than A-listers Warren Beatty and Halle Berry.

It's great to see an action-adventure family film with heart as well as humor, whimsy alongside wisdom, and a compelling narrative.

Action star Chow Yun-Fat's latest is as thin as the buzz cut he sports in Bulletproof Monk.

Imagine a movie so broadly conceived that it was written, directed and all parts were played by Charo — billed in her '70s heyday of Love Boat gigs as the "Cuchi-Cuchi Girl." That's what you get here.

Like the first half of "Best in Show," the movie is so deadpan that sometimes you have to pinch yourself to realize how potently satirical it is.

Only a smattering of the potential is realized in this tolerable disappointment, which is so unworthy of getting angry about that it will still become a knee-jerk hit.

Some moments in XX/XY ring true, and the honesty exposed is revelatory. But, like some relationships, this drama can be tough to endure.

Well-crafted, Tarantino-esque story.

This film highlights some of the best, and raunchiest, of his humor.

It's an intriguing movie, and Thornton's performance is both fascinating and maddening.

There's nothing wrong with fairy tales, but they don't have to be formulaic. A movie like this would have benefited from a blending of the fanciful and the inventive.

Superficially gritty yet soullessly slick melodrama.

It's all fast and furious up to its draggy finale, and yes, it could spark a sequel. Prepare yourself for coming dread in 18 months: "A Man Together."

For a movie that earns its R-rating for drug content and violence atop language and sexuality, it leaves you with the next thing to a mellow smile.

In dashing Indiana Jones style, Eckhart gets to be a hero.

Landed exactly the right actors for a script that already gets points for respecting its teenage characters.

It's hard to recall the last movie that has left such an emotionally searing question dangling in the mind: "What if ... ?"

There isn't any kind of dance you can compare to Robert Duvall's latest as an actor/director, though a slo-mo minuet might come close.

The tepid result is like "Courage Under Fire" without the compelling Meg Ryan angle, or Travolta's 1999 "The General's Daughter" without the sexual squalor. It all feels a little moldy.

Chris Rock was busy directing, producing, co-writing and starring in this light comedy. Given his hilarious stand-up routines, one wishes he had spent a little more time on the script.
