"Thanks to the wonder of digital technology, Marlon's head was spliced onto the body of a dwarf actor, thus accomplishing what certainly will go down in history as one of the more profound cinematic achievements of our time."

"It's a tale with plenty of spirit and a good heart, and yet, this story doesn't so much soar across the screen as it does waddle."

"RV is a family-friendly comedy with some gut-shaking chuckles and a heartwarming message. Sadly, it's also a fine example of what happens when talented people settle for utter mediocrity."

"One of those fright fests that isn't so much frightening as it is funny... and not in a good way."

"Slither is a funny, freaky, fiendishly good flick that might just find a following beyond the standard cadre of horror fanatics."

"As teen comedies go, this one hits most of the right marks. The cast is solid. The story is fast-paced and funny. And most importantly, I laughed and laughed."

"While both Splash and The Little Mermaid are movies that have no shortage of cross-generational appeal, Aquamarine is destined to swim in a much shallower pool of fans."

"How strange it is to see a film that's supposed to be all about the burning passion and unquenchable exhilaration of true love, and yet is rather passionless and unexhilarating."

"It's a true joy to watch Susan Sarandon, who reprises Shelley Winters' role, deliver Alfie his due, and newcomer Sienna Miller does an excellent turn as a downward-spiraling party girl."

"As the movie gropes its way to a predictable-if-unsatisfying end, the ultimate message that greets the audience is this: If you're patient and act like a good girl, Daddy and Mommy will eventually give you what you want: Your very own car!"
