that 's both charming and well acted

a bad blend

the guy-in-a-dress genre

director claude chabrol has become the master of innuendo .

riveting and

excruciatingly unfunny and pitifully unromantic .

war movies

an inuit masterpiece

oscar

the cliché-laden screenplay

girlfriends are bad , wives are worse

provide much more insight

, and as easy to be bored by as your abc 's ,

what you wish for

fluid and mesmerizing

... a vivid , thoughtful , unapologetically raw coming-of-age tale full of sex , drugs and rock 'n' roll .

it 's a testament to the film 's considerable charm that it succeeds in entertaining , despite playing out like a feature-length sitcom replete with stereotypical familial quandaries .

ransacks

lacks the charisma and ability to carry the film on his admittedly broad shoulders .

book report

leave the theater

spousal abuse

the director , with his fake backdrops and stately pacing ,

a diverse and astonishingly articulate cast of palestinian and israeli children .

anyone who suffers through this film

one carried by a strong sense of humanism

for all its brilliant touches , dragon loses its fire midway , nearly flickering out by its perfunctory conclusion .

another entertaining romp from robert rodriguez .

directed with purpose and finesse by england 's roger mitchell , who handily makes the move from pleasing , relatively lightweight commercial fare such as notting hill to commercial fare with real thematic heft .

it 'll probably be in video stores by christmas

funny , triumphant ,

underachiever

a film of ideas and wry comic mayhem

of moviegoers for real characters and compelling plots

dime-store ruminations

worth a

, reality shows -- reality shows for god 's sake !

whatever the movie 's sentimental , hypocritical lessons about sexism , its true colors come out in various wet t-shirt and shower scenes .

'll cry for your money back

enthralling

is worse : the part where nothing 's happening , or the part where something 's happening

like max rothman 's future , does not work .

of quirky characters and an engaging story

has the thrown-together feel of a summer-camp talent show : hastily written , underrehearsed , arbitrarily plotted and

making kahlo 's art a living ,

bad run

may just end up trying to drown yourself in a lake afterwards .

many pleasures

is worth searching out

at this time , with this cast , this movie is hopeless

time bombs

balances both traditional or modern stories together in a manner that one never overwhelms the other .

the surface histrionics failing to compensate for the paper-thin characterizations and facile situations

plumbs uncharted depths of stupidity , incoherence and sub-sophomoric sexual banter .

a sour taste in one 's mouth

decent performance

... familiar and predictable , and 4/5ths of it might as well have come from a xerox machine rather than ( writer-director ) franc .

a headline-fresh thriller set among orthodox jews on the west bank , joseph cedar 's time of favor manages not only to find a compelling dramatic means of addressing a complex situation , it does so without compromising that complexity .

responsible for one of the worst movies of one year

appalling , shamelessly manipulative and contrived

movie love

human darkness

understand that the idea of exploiting molestation for laughs is funny , not actually exploiting it yourself

it 's too loud to shout insults at the screen

's a long way from orwell 's dark , intelligent warning cry ( 1984 )

a coming-of-age film that avoids the cartoonish clichés and sneering humor of the genre as it provides a fresh view of an old type --

the perfect movie

ardently waste viewers ' time with a gobbler like this

oscar-sweeping franchise predecessor

it sets out with no pretensions and delivers big time

see how many times they can work the words `` radical '' or `` suck '' into a sentence

give you enough to feel good about

unexpectedly insightful

allen 's romantic comedies so pertinent and enduring

is an extraordinary film , not least

a doubt

maudlin or

with the the wisdom and humor of its subjects

a party-hearty teen flick that scalds like acid .

the wan , thinly sketched story

provide the funniest moments in this oddly sweet comedy about jokester highway patrolmen

this romantic/comedy asks the question how much souvlaki can you take before indigestion sets in .

again dazzle and delight us

that beneath the familiar , funny surface is a far bigger , far more meaningful story than one in which little green men come to earth for harvesting purposes

aspires to be more than another `` best man '' clone by weaving a theme throughout this funny film

impresses as a skillfully assembled , highly polished and professional adaptation ... just about as chilling and unsettling as ` manhunter ' was .

failure to construct a story with even a trace of dramatic interest

but it also comes with the laziness and arrogance of a thing that already knows it 's won .

it 's a frightful vanity film that , no doubt , pays off what debt miramax felt they owed to benigni .

laughed at

, future lizard endeavors will need to adhere more closely to the laws of laughter

a philosophical void

unlikable characters and a self-conscious sense

intelligence or invention

hot on the hardwood proves once again that a man in drag is not in and of himself funny .

hopelessly juvenile

shakespearean -- both in depth and breadth --

unique directing style

required to give this comic slugfest some heart

feel more like a non-stop cry for attention
