"The premise is stomach-turning cutesy as well as maudlin, the characters are cartoons, and the climax is unbelievable and strained to a fare-thee-well."
Posted Apr 21, 2008
 
Kiss the Bride (2008)33%
/
 
"Once the full panoply of bad guys is disclosed, the movie becomes just another absurdly prolonged hot pursuit, complete with a lost little girl for a dollop of extra melodrama."
Posted Feb 21, 2008
 
Vantage Point (2008)35%
/
 
"The energy level flags a bit as the green swamp creature copes with greater responsibilities and impending fatherhood."
Posted May 18, 2007
 
Shrek the Third (2007)42%

"Raimi and company have woven more graceful patterns in the past; this one simply doesn't cohere."
Posted May 4, 2007
 
Spider-Man 3 (2007)61%
/
 
"Has its smattering of laughs, but the new faces bring fewer dividends than the elemental De Niro/Ben Stiller showdown of the original."
Posted Feb 26, 2007
 
Meet the Fockers (2004)39%
/
 
"Ultimately produces a ragged facsimile of film noir clichés."
Posted Feb 26, 2007
 
The Man Who Copied (2005)65%
/
 
"The play is everything in this uneven movie, which is alternately groan-inducing and side-splitting."
Posted Feb 22, 2007
 
The Producers (2005)51%
/
 
"A textbook example of what happens When Improv Falls Flat."
Posted Feb 22, 2007
 
Confetti (2006)58%
/
 
"Roth, Becker and especially Álvarez-Novoa are all charming performers, but this self-consciously tricky tale of secrets, passion and intrigue doesn't linger beyond the closing credits."
Posted Jul 26, 2003
 
Lucia, Lucia (2003)44%
/
 
"For all the virtuosic technique on view, the schematic nature of the project is too glibly nihilistic."
Posted Feb 22, 2003
 
Irreversible (2003)56%
/
 
"De Palma, who wrote the screenplay, doesn't seem to care here about basics like non-cardboard characters, credible plotting or giggle-free dialogue."
Posted Oct 26, 2002
 
Femme Fatale (2002)49%
/
 
"Late-summer flotsam from the shallow end of the genre movie pool."
Posted Oct 2, 2002
 
Swimfan (2002)15%
/
 
"The material remains too trifling and ultimately ludricrous to justify the care that's gone into the production."
Posted Sep 9, 2002
 
The Ninth Gate (1999)40%
/
 
"That frenetic spectacle [on the TV show] has usually been leavened by a charm that's conspicuously missing from the Girls' big-screen blowout."
Posted Jul 16, 2002
 
The Powerpuff Girls Movie (2002)64%
/
 
"Essentially one long, belabored gag."
Posted May 4, 2002
 
Hollywood Ending (2002)47%
/
 
"Something's missing from the center of this self-consciously hip film noir: a hero you can feel for."
Posted Apr 16, 2002
 
Salton Sea (2002)63%
/
 
"Despite its promising cast of characters, Big Trouble remains a loosely tied series of vignettes which only prove that 'zany' doesn't necessarily mean 'funny.'"
Posted Apr 12, 2002
 
Big Trouble (2002)49%
/
 
"Howard and his co-stars all give committed performances, but they're often undone by Howard's self-conscious attempts to find a 'literary' filmmaking style to match his subject."
Posted Jan 26, 2002
 
Big Bad Love (2002)42%
/
 
"This Doll has all the allure of a factory reject."
Posted Jun 2, 2001
 
Russian Doll (2001)48%

Posted Apr 2, 2001
 
Monkeybone (2001)19%

"Much of Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me feels recycled, but audiences who dote on multiple viewings aren't likely to complain."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me (1999)54%
/
 
"The characters they've chosen to focus on are so thin and uninteresting (and sometimes downright irritating), all you're left to root for is the comet's speedy arrival."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Deep Impact (1998)46%
/
 
"Feels more like a sketch for a movie than a completely formed narrative, with characters and situations that are too thin to bear the weight of the tale's ultimate tragic turns."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Full Speed (1996)n/a
/
 
"Will Paul Verhoeven ever make a good film again?"
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Hollow Man (2000)27%
/
 
"The first half of this Sandra Bullock vehicle is so winning and observant, it's especially disappointing when the storyline begins losing air at the midway point."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Hope Floats (1998)23%
/
 
"A flat, unfunny comedy with the all-too-apt name of Loser."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Loser (2000)26%
/
 
"Has a fairly good view of the Big Picture, but its dramatic details never come into satisfying focus."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Mad City (1997)37%
/
 
"There's a decent two-hour movie buried within the three hours of Meet Joe Black, a classic instance of a filmmaker overvaluing his material beyond all good sense."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Meet Joe Black (1998)49%
/
 
"It's too arty for the genre gang, and too grim for the art crowd, and its tone wavers uncertainly between quirky comedy and blunt violence."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Ravenous (1999)43%
/
 
"The stunts make a considerably more vivid impression than any of the movie's potpourri of characters."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Ronin (1998)68%
/
 
"A charmless and often mean-spirited 'kids' movie' that no kid under eight should be taken to see."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Small Soldiers (1998)48%
/
 
"You keep looking for the emotional center of the movie and never find it."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace (1999)64%
/
 
"A big part of the problem with The Beach is that most of its characters are so thinly developed, their behavior feels completely arbitrary."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
The Beach (2000)19%
/
 
"Raises intriguing questions, but most audiences will have the same response to von Trier's weird commune: Grow up already."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
The Idiots (1998)70%
/
 
"The movie does deliver its share of action and spectacle, but action and spectacle are clearly not all Zwick and company had in mind with this fumbled Siege."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
The Siege (1998)43%
/
 
"For a grand romantic drama, Waking the Dead is often curiously chilly."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Waking the Dead (2000)52%
