Question: Q: 1. Shrill and shallow, 'Bride Wars' would make anyone wince at the thought of matrimony.
2. A paean to friendship and conspicuous consumption that is just simply wrong. On a number of levels.
3. Bride Wars makes Sex and the City seem like Jane Austen.
4. There's a good deal of potential squandered in this strained comedy, which suffers from lazy writing, miscalculated acting, perfunctory directing and general bad timing.
5. You want to see Anne Hathaway in a worthy vehicle? Check out "Rachel Getting Married." You want to see Kate Hudson in a worthy vehicle?Rent a time machine.
6. Often unimaginative, asinine and bland, even if you're willing to check your brain at the door and suspend your disbelief for 90 minutes.
7. A movie best left at the altar.
8. Don't bother to RSVP to Bride Wars.
9. [A] funny, self-consciously frothy piece of good-natured escapism.
10. Eighty-eight minutes and 14 seconds of pure, unadulterated piffle.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Bride Wars takes the already wearisome concept of battling bridezillas, and makes it thoroughly insufferable via a lazy script and wholly detestable characters.
1. A thought-provoking documentary about Ralph Nader as a zealot for justice, consumer rights, and meaningful democracy.
2. An Unreasonable Man, easy on the eyes and stimulating to the mind, is well worth the two hours plus.
3. For liberals, An Unreasonable Man delivers an exciting look back at heady times.
4. An unflinching look at the rise and fall of one of the most influential figures of our times.
5. It does vividly capture the ambitious advocate as not just an outsider, but a stymied and stunned political pariah.
6. The documentary An Unreasonable Man is an admiring but hardly uncritical portrait of Ralph Nader and his 2000 presidential campaign.
7. Ultimately, Mantel and Skrovan achieve the goal of reminding a generation that grew up enjoying the protections that Nader had spearheaded. But they also frankly acknowledge that the very qualities that made him an incorruptible activist also blinded him.
8. If the film shows that few men are as unreasonable as Ralph Nader, it also shows that few have so succeeded in shaping their world: His legacy of progressive legislation will affect generations to come.
9. The film, directed by Henriette Mantel and Steve Skrovan, does a brilliant job of putting his 2000 run for president in context -- to show how consistent it was with everything he has stood for in his remarkable career.
10. A good mixture, but it all comes back to Nader's disputed sainthood and the debate is heavily stacked. It seems easy to like Nader and that's the problem: There's no serious conflict.
Consensus: A compelling documentary that humanizes the controversial, polarizing politician.
Q: 1. Overlong. It wanders. It needs trimming. But the director never goes far wrong when she just hangs with the kids, focusing on their focus, capturing their disappointment at losses and the thrill of each victory on the chessboard.
2. Set against a backdrop of deep budget cuts and high-stakes testing, this story makes an eloquent plea for the crucial but endangered role of afterschool programs in public education.
3. There is much of what you expect -- gifted kids, dedicated teacher, tense anticipation, thrilling victories. The characters are endearing and their stories are stirring.
4. a truly wonderful, uplifting film - because it's an emotional experience that's driven by appreciating and celebrating what these young kids can do.
5. Among the team's racially diverse roster, four leaders emerge; sticking doggedly to the competition-doc template, Dellamaggiore traces their parallel paths to the finals.
6. It's clear that chess isn't just a game; for these students, it can also open doors.
7. Every player knows the finality when the other player sadly turns over his king, signaling surrender. We know it even better when we do it ourselves.
8. It's a heartwarming look at the exact reason why we need to fund after-school programs and give more attention to the arts.
9. Great story, well-made, what's not to like?
10. As the film offers glimpses of the kids' inner lives and external experiences, it helps you see how expansive both can be.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Brooklyn Castle is a warm, engaging, and even uplifting documentary about chess-playing whiz kids.
1. A beautiful tissue-paper piece of art that falls to shreds should you so much as blow upon it
2. All but remaking the 1953 art-house classic Tokyo Story in its first third, Cherry Blossoms fortunately sidesteps rank mimicry in favor of wry homage and something more.
3. Doris Dorrie's Cherry Blossoms translates a foreigner-in-Japan experience much better than Sofia Coppola could.
4. This portrait of an aging couple is a deeply rewarding, heartbreaking, utterly worthy successor to two films which inspired it: Ozu's Tokyo Story and Leo McCarey's great, forgotten 1937 Make Way for Tomorrow.
5. The film's soggy visuals end by reducing the plight of the grief-struck central figure to the stuff of overly prettified kitsch.
6. A quiet, moving tale of love and loss.
7. It's a gentle lesson in facing life's hardships with acceptance rather than grief.
8. As Cherry Blossoms (Kirschblüten - Hanami) begins, Trudi is surprised when she learns her husband is dying of an unnamed condition.
9. Cherry Blossoms is an exquisitely and delicately crafted film about love, loss, and a kind of spiritual healing.
10. If you have ever seen Yasujiro Ozu's masterpiece Tokyo Story -- one of the greatest films ever made -- you may respond to Doris Dörrie's Cherry Blossoms, which is a kind of homage.
Consensus: This mature and eloquent meditation on grief and loss sports measured performances and moments of humor.
Q: 1. This is a very minor entry in the writer-director's prodigious canon, despite the major-league cast.
2. There are enough pleasantries and good jests in this new film to make a meal.
3. It won't be a very enchanted evening at You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger.
4. Minor but still quite enjoyable.
5. For the most part, everyone struggles through, with at best mixed success. The audience included.
6. If one can suspend their inherent sense of familiarity about the current proceedings, they will discover a typically well-written, wryly-humorous and decidedly spiritual (though not religious) take on timeless themes.
7. A lively and funny ensemble comedy with yet another intriguing mix of stars and lesser-known talents playing deeply flawed human beings in search of love and fulfillment.
8. This kinder, gentler Allen is still clever, still amusing, and the film itself is a confection tempting enough to consider a taste. Yet there is that empty-calorie letdown after it's over. Maybe it's time to book another trip to Spain.
9. Allen refers to ''a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.'' That's a pretty high-toned way to limit his liability for the lackluster quality of this very slight entry in the canon...
10. This love letter to the Reaper and his unknowable timetable is a bracing addition to an erratic, yet indispensable oeuvre.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A:
Answer: Consensus: It's sporadically amusing, and typically well-cast, but You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger isn't one of Woody Allen's more inspired late-period efforts.
