Review: one-of-a-kind tour de force 
Sentiment: positive

Review: as steamy as last week 's pork dumplings . 
Sentiment: negative

Review: though it begins to drag two-thirds through , when the melodramatic aspects start to overtake the comedy 
Sentiment: negative

Review: instead go rent `` shakes the clown '' , a much funnier film with a similar theme and an equally great robin williams performance 
Sentiment: negative


Review: it cuts to the core of what it actually means to face your fears , to be a girl in a world of boys , to be a boy truly in love with a girl , and to ride the big metaphorical wave that is life -- wherever it takes you .
