Question: 1. As elegantly crafted as it often is, Anderson's movie is essentially a one-trick pony that, hampered by an undeveloped script, ultimately pulls up lame.
2. [Anderson] uses a hit-or-miss aesthetic that hits often enough to keep the film entertaining even if none of it makes a lick of sense.
3. Un Redemption de Adam Sandler.
4. Both Sandler and Anderson are, it turns out, acutely attuned to the infinite, painful costs of consumer culture.
5. Adam SANDLER! In an ART FILM!
6. This is one bizarre movie, but I like it anyway.
7. Perfect example of a picture that most film critics will likely adore and most regular audiences will likely snore through.
8. ...a visual song of vulnerability, with a rhythm vaulting from discord to harmony and back again in vibrating organic-colored tones, as if the whole film were breathing on its own.
9. ...an angry, raw, shockingly beautiful romantic comedy that tests the limits of our every expectation.
10. A movie joyfully alive with possibility, from a filmmaker willing to take big gambles and force them to pay off, and with a star who has the courage to redefine his image.
Odd, touching, and unique, Punch-Drunk Love is also delightfully funny, utilizing Adam Sandler's comic persona to explore the life of a lonely guy who finds love.

1. Lopez has the simultaneous gift and curse of being exactly as good as her material; she fully inhabits the solemnity of Paulina without overshadowing the central conflict.
2. Miscast, misguided and woefully misbegotten, this clumsy American remake of the deftly delicate 1996 sleeper hit from Japan is too blah to bludgeon.
3. The original remains the standard, and it's a far deeper work, but this paint-by-numbers project manages to get by on its good humour and undeniably entertaining ensemble cast.
4. It's a surprisingly acceptable variation on a theme.
5. Turns a sweet, lilting story into a clunky, clichéd and tedious movie sitcom.
6. Takes a small, exquisite Japanese movie and turns it into a big, stupid American movie. Still, it must be said that as glossy and overproduced as the thing is, it's a good Big Stupid American movie.
7. A cozy star vehicle for Jennifer Lopez and Richard Gere.
8. Where the original soared, the new version hugs the ground. It's like the difference between Fred Astaire's dancing and Richard Gere's.
9. While its situations are never hugely believable, this long-delayed remake is otherwise a consistently delightful comedy of character and a surprisingly strong showcase for its stars.
10. This mildly entertaining bauble will disappear from your memory even before you've dislodged the last popcorn husks from your back teeth.
The cast is warmly appealing, but with the loss of cultural context and addition of big-name celebrities, this American version loses the nuances of the original.

1. Director Vincent Ward's view of heaven is surreal and spectacular!
2. It's such a lavish, awesome spectacle!
3. The imagery, though it's constantly switching moods, remains delicious.
4. Few films delight the eye the way Vincent Ward's What Dreams May Come does!
5. A stunningly original visual journey to heaven, hell, and beyond.
6. The overall look was original enough and impressive enough that I can fairly recommend this movie.
7. Just as the devil gets all the good lines, it is easy for a dramatic, chaotic hell to upstage a meditative, placid heaven
8. A visual blast.
9. Unfortunately, this movie is much less than the sum of its inspirational parts.
10. What Dreams May Come is a soulful piece as you'll ever see!
An insubstantial plot overshadows the beautiful, surreal scenery.

1. No, fans of "Mamma Mia!" won't be too thrilled with "Repo! The Genetic Opera."
2. Repo! lingers long after it ends, due in great part to a handful of memorable tunes and its persistent funky attitude, marked by an impressive desire to savor oddity and unconventional displays of heartache.
3. Bousman's editing and camera angles are consistently inventive, and the production design (Blade Runner is a big influence, as is Disneyland's "Haunted Mansion" attraction) squeezes a lot of bang out of every buck.
4. [A] gory, off-putting musical, which tries to combine Gothic rock stylings with the grotesque sensibilities of so-called, 'torture-porn' horror-thrillers.
5. As it has evolved from a 10-minute cabaret piece, through a short film Bousman made in Toronto, to the big screen, Repo! The Genetic Opera has gained in both guts and gusto.
6. clearly strives to defy description, which of course makes it fun to describe
7. David Cronenberg might have made a great movie with the plot to Repo! The Genetic Opera.
8. Repo! is a bloody grotesquerie, not a delicious delight as was Rocky Horror.
9. All-out thriller with few Bond touches but plenty of high-octane action.
10. It's not often you come across a film as unique as this, and while my taste for liver, lights, and sweetbreads isn't what it once was, this is still a fine post-Halloween aperitif, with guts to spare.

Answer: Bombastic and intentionally gross, Repo! The Genetic Opera has a unique style but lacks the wit and substance to be involving.
