especially disappointing

the powerful success of read my lips with such provocative material shows why , after only three films , director/co-writer jacques audiard , though little known in this country , belongs in the very top rank of french filmmakers .

a spiffy animated feature

excellent performances from jacqueline bisset and martha plimpton grace this deeply touching melodrama .

a pleasure to watch

poor dana carvey
0
if the film has a problem , its shortness disappoints : you want the story to go on and on
1
best describes this film : honest
1
has just as many scenes that are lean and tough enough to fit in any modern action movie
1
a must-see
1
of those exceedingly rare films in which the talk alone is enough to keep us
1
the movie is hardly a masterpiece

it may be because teens are looking for something to make them laugh .

1
still fun and enjoyable and

performances of exceptional honesty
1
topics that could make a sailor blush
0
genteel and unsurprising the execution
1
is a movie that puts itself squarely in the service of the lovers who inhabit it .
1
've had more interesting -- and , dare i say , thematically complex -- bowel movements than this long-on-the-shelf , point-and-shoot exercise in gimmicky crime drama .

dishonest and

does not deserve to go down with a ship as leaky as this

patchy combination

you believe that the shocking conclusion is too much of a plunge

placed in the pantheon of the best of the swashbucklers
1
gets close to the chimps the same way goodall did , with a serious minded patience , respect and affection .
1
are not at all entertaining
0
there 's no conversion effort , much of the writing is genuinely witty and both stars are appealing enough to probably have a good shot at a hollywood career , if they want one
1
come away from his film overwhelmed , hopeful and , perhaps paradoxically , illuminated .
1
the q in quirky
1
has all the enjoyable randomness of a very lively dream and so manages to be compelling , amusing and unsettling at the same time .
1
's an excellent 90-minute film
1
though overall an overwhelmingly positive portrayal , the film does n't ignore the more problematic aspects of brown 's life .
1
is a refreshingly smart and newfangled variation on several themes derived from far less sophisticated and knowing horror films
1
that unfolds with grace and humor and gradually
1
family fare .
1
a poignant and compelling story about relationships , food of love takes us on a bumpy but satisfying journey of the heart .

confessions may not be a straightforward bio , nor does it offer much in the way of barris ' motivations , but the film is an oddly fascinating depiction of an architect of pop culture .
1
not only are the film 's sopranos gags incredibly dated and unfunny , they also demonstrate how desperate the makers of this ` we 're - doing-it-for - the-cash ' sequel were .

stylish but steady , and ultimately very satisfying , piece

shatner is probably the funniest person in the film , which gives you an idea just how bad it was .

0
unforced continuation
1
chan 's stunts are limited and so embellished by editing that there 's really not much of a sense of action or even action-comedy .
