on this tricky topic , tadpole is very much a step in the right direction , with its blend of frankness , civility and compassion .

1positive

the experience of going to a film festival is a rewarding one ; the experiencing of sampling one through this movie is not .

0negative

a sequel that 's much too big for its britches .

0negative

unflinchingly bleak and desperate

0negative

the subtle strength of `` elling '' is that it never loses touch with the reality of the grim situation .

1positive

harris commands the screen , using his frailty to suggest the ravages of a life of corruption and ruthlessness .

1positive

for close to two hours the audience is forced to endure three terminally depressed , mostly inarticulate , hyper dysfunctional families for the price of one .

0negative

the end result is a film that 's neither .

0negative

the movie fails to live up to the sum of its parts .

0negative

the best film about baseball to hit theaters since field of dreams .

1positive

its well of thorn and vinegar ( and simple humanity ) has long been plundered by similar works featuring the insight and punch this picture so conspicuously lacks .

0negative

deadeningly dull , mired in convoluted melodrama , nonsensical jargon and stiff-upper-lip laboriousness .

0negative

detox is ultimately a pointless endeavor .

0negative

worth watching for dong jie 's performance -- and for the way it documents a culture in the throes of rapid change .

1positive

for each chuckle there are at least 10 complete misses , many coming from the amazingly lifelike tara reid , whose acting skills are comparable to a cardboard cutout .

0negative

the magic of the film lies not in the mysterious spring but in the richness of its performances .

1positive

the only excitement comes when the credits finally roll and you get to leave the theater .

0negative

the so-inept - it 's - surreal dubbing ( featuring the voices of glenn close , regis philbin and breckin meyer ) brings back memories of cheesy old godzilla flicks .

0negative

deliriously funny , fast and loose , accessible to the uninitiated , and full of surprises

1positive

prurient playthings aside , there 's little to love about this english trifle .

0negative

the entire movie is about a boring , sad man being boring and sad .

0negative

... plot holes so large and obvious a marching band might as well be stomping through them in clown clothes , playing a college football fight song on untuned instruments .

0negative

a wildly inconsistent emotional experience .

0negative

in all , this is a watchable movie that 's not quite the memorable experience it might have been .

0negative

all-in-all , the film is an enjoyable and frankly told tale of a people who live among us , but not necessarily with us .

1positive

the cold turkey would 've been a far better title .

0negative

it 's somewhat clumsy and too lethargically paced -- but its story about a mysterious creature with psychic abilities offers a solid build-up , a terrific climax , and some nice chills along the way .

0negative

a quiet , pure , elliptical film

1positive

it 's like watching a nightmare made flesh .

0negative

a gorgeous , high-spirited musical from india that exquisitely blends music , dance , song , and high drama .

1positive

coughs and sputters on its own postmodern conceit .

0negative

dragonfly has no atmosphere , no tension -- nothing but costner , flailing away .

0negative

this is the sort of burly action flick where one coincidence pummels another , narrative necessity is a drunken roundhouse , and whatever passes for logic is a factor of the last plot device left standing .

0negative

kinnear does n't aim for our sympathy , but rather delivers a performance of striking skill and depth .

1positive

forced , familiar and thoroughly condescending .

0negative

the reality of the new live-action pinocchio he directed , cowrote and starred in borders on the grotesque .

0negative

it 's a much more emotional journey than what shyamalan has given us in his past two movies , and gibson , stepping in for bruce willis , is the perfect actor to take us on the trip .

1positive

not only are the special effects and narrative flow much improved , and daniel radcliffe more emotionally assertive this time around as harry , but the film conjures the magic of author j.k. rowling 's books .

1positive

it haunts , horrifies , startles and fascinates ; it is impossible to look away .

1positive

fun , flip and terribly hip bit of cinematic entertainment .

1positive

like watching a dress rehearsal the week before the show goes up : everything 's in place but something 's just a little off-kilter .

0negative

few films capture so perfectly the hopes and dreams of little boys on baseball fields as well as the grown men who sit in the stands .

1positive

my thoughts were focused on the characters .

1positive

it does n't believe in itself , it has no sense of humor ... it 's just plain bored .

0negative

at its best , queen is campy fun like the vincent price horror classics of the '60s .

1positive

it is great summer fun to watch arnold and his buddy gerald bounce off a quirky cast of characters .

1positive

the film is based on truth and yet there is something about it that feels incomplete , as if the real story starts just around the corner .

0negative

a pleasant enough romance with intellectual underpinnings , the kind of movie that entertains even as it turns maddeningly predictable .

1positive

i sympathize with the plight of these families , but the movie does n't do a very good job conveying the issue at hand .

0negative

it 's hampered by a lifetime-channel kind of plot and a lead actress who is out of her depth .

0negative

michael gerbosi 's script is economically packed with telling scenes .

1positive

does paint some memorable images ... , but makhmalbaf keeps her distance from the characters

1positive

this is a shameless sham , calculated to cash in on the popularity of its stars .

0negative

due to some script weaknesses and the casting of the director 's brother , the film trails off into inconsequentiality .

0negative

this illuminating documentary transcends our preconceived vision of the holy land and its inhabitants , revealing the human complexities beneath .

1positive

so unassuming and pure of heart , you ca n't help but warmly extend your arms and yell ` safe ! '

1positive

altogether , this is successful as a film , while at the same time being a most touching reconsideration of the familiar masterpiece .

1positive

i just loved every minute of this film .

1positive

an entertaining , colorful , action-filled crime story with an intimate heart .

1positive

slick piece of cross-promotion .

1positive

manages to show life in all of its banality when the intention is quite the opposite .

0negative

entertains by providing good , lively company .

1positive

this movie is maddening .

0negative

a working class `` us vs. them '' opera that leaves no heartstring untugged and no liberal cause unplundered .

1positive

immersing us in the endlessly inventive , fiercely competitive world of hip-hop djs , the project is sensational and revelatory , even if scratching makes you itch .

1positive

as a rumor of angels reveals itself to be a sudsy tub of supernatural hokum , not even ms. redgrave 's noblest efforts can redeem it from hopeless sentimentality .

0negative

it 's a bit disappointing that it only manages to be decent instead of dead brilliant .

0negative

the character of zigzag is not sufficiently developed to support a film constructed around him .

0negative

how do you spell cliché ?

0negative

i 've always dreamed of attending cannes , but after seeing this film , it 's not that big a deal .

0negative

nine queens is not only than a frighteningly capable debut and genre piece , but also a snapshot of a dangerous political situation on the verge of coming to a head .

1positive

further proof that the epicenter of cool , beautiful , thought-provoking foreign cinema is smack-dab in the middle of dubya 's axis of evil .
