thanks to haynes ' absolute control of the film 's mood , and buoyed by three terrific performances , far from heaven actually pulls off this stylistic juggling act .

1positive

the volatile dynamics of female friendship is the subject of this unhurried , low-key film that is so off-hollywood that it seems positively french in its rhythms and resonance .

it 's too self-important and plodding to be funny , and too clipped and abbreviated to be an epic .

0negative

for all its impressive craftsmanship , and despite an overbearing series of third-act crescendos , lily chou-chou never really builds up a head of emotional steam .

0negative

no one but a convict guilty of some truly heinous crime should have to sit through the master of disguise .

( w ) hile long on amiable monkeys and worthy environmentalism , jane goodall 's wild chimpanzees is short on the thrills the oversize medium demands .

0negative

beautifully observed , miraculously unsentimental comedy-drama .

0negative

just one bad idea after another .

0negative

( e ) ventually , every idea in this film is flushed down the latrine of heroism .

1positive

sit through this one , and you wo n't need a magic watch to stop time ; your dvd player will do it for you .

pacino is brilliant as the sleep-deprived dormer , his increasing weariness as much existential as it is physical .

this nickleby thing might have more homosexual undertones than an eddie murphy film .

taylor appears to have blown his entire budget on soundtrack rights and had nothing left over for jokes .

0negative

even the finest chef ca n't make a hotdog into anything more than a hotdog , and robert de niro ca n't make this movie anything more than a trashy cop buddy comedy .

despite the 2-d animation , the wild thornberrys movie makes for a surprisingly cinematic experience .

1positive

to call the other side of heaven `` appalling '' would be to underestimate just how dangerous entertainments like it can be .

0negative

perceptive in its vision of nascent industrialized world politics as a new art form , but far too clunky , didactic and saddled with scenes that seem simply an ill fit for this movie .

0negative

a coarse and stupid gross-out .

0negative

the continued good chemistry between carmen and juni is what keeps this slightly disappointing sequel going , with enough amusing banter -- blessedly curse-free -- to keep both kids and parents entertained .

falls neatly into the category of good stupid fun .

1positive

with the exception of some fleetingly amusing improvisations by cedric the entertainer as perry 's boss , there is n't a redeeming moment here .

the movie is dawn of the dead crossed with john carpenter 's ghosts of mars , with zombies not as ghoulish as the first and trains not as big as the second .

0negative

the vivid lead performances sustain interest and empathy , but the journey is far more interesting than the final destination .
