  1. Suffice it to say, there is no comedy, no chemistry, no nothing in this movie.
  2. Indeed, I'd say Undiscovered belongs on the WB, but that would be gravely unfair to the channel, which looks like the BBC in comparison.
  3. Rarely has an act of such cinematic cruelty as Tideland been perpetrated on filmgoers.
  4. An offensive, comedy-free comedy.
  5. A special place in purgatory must be reserved for John Leguizamo, who produced and stars in The Babysitters, a loathsome slice of exploitation at its most cynical and crass.
  6. After all the bloated lines are delivered, and dozens of women are debased, and Bishop has attitudinized the story line into incomprehensibility, audience members will be asking themselves how they got on this Hell Ride and what they did to deserve it.
  7. The movie suffers most of all from a feeling of creeping irrelevance, as if it's being delivered well after its sell-by date.
  8. The yuck factor spins off the charts in Splice, a thoroughly repulsive science fiction-horror flick that slicks up its B-movie tawdriness with high-gloss production values and two otherwise classy stars.
  9. So predictable it could have been written by a chimp who's watched too much TV, the huge movie is as dumb as it is loud, and it's way too loud.
  10. If it were the last videotape available in the only video store in the remotest corner of Alaska, I'd take one last slug of Jack Daniels and start walking directly into the howling snows.
  11. The dialogue is fast but bad, the acting is loud but awful and the morality is chaste but unromantic. As for the food, it looks vulgar.
  12. Tells us nothing we didn't already know, and it tells it over and over and over.
  13. Here's what I really like about The Mod Squad: Nobody in it gives a damn.
  14. A gruesome tale of obsessive love and mutilation, it's less a work of art, however, than a luridly stylish expression of female self-loathing...A prettied-up snuff movie.
  15. A twentysomething comedy with a brain-dead script, unflattering lighting and 16 performers in search of a scriptwriter...[It] feels like one-sixth of an idea stretched to the breaking point.
  16. Sheer torture, the very definition of unfunniness itself.
  17. It's all too silly to bother. Without style and attitude, nothing gets old faster than horror.
  18. It does wonders to a critic to know that [Britney] could be a continuing font of teen and post-teen kitsch for years to come.
  19. In terms of actual social conscience, the movie gets a demagogic, rabble-rousing F. It also gets a failed grade for honest writing.
  20. As a child, I thought pure hell meant eternal agony in the flames of Satan. Now I know it's looking down at your watch and realizing Serving Sara isn't even halfway through.
  21. See critic run. Oh, for the days of Smell-a-Vision.
  22. Go expecting the very worst. Just don't expect to laugh.
  23. I suggest you think of this movie as another bad sausage from the Warner Bros. meat-packing factory. And you should think of this review as a government health warning. Eat this thing at your peril.
  24. About as awful and shamelessly pandering as a fanzine movie could dare to be.
  25. There's no escaping the hackneyed plot or Mayfield's conventional hand. So don't go.
  26. Someone definitely inhaled too much before making this one.
  27. Stinks like a cat box that hasn't been changed in a hundred years.
  28. 8MM
    It's sickeningly violent!
  29. So stupefyingly hideous that after watching it, you'll need to bathe in 10 gallons of disinfectant, get a full-body scrub and shampoo with vinegar to remove the scummy residue that remains.

    Can a script exploring some truly deep questions about human sexuality and emotions be any shoddier and wooden?
