	"As light as a banana souffle and about as substantial." -- Variety Posted Jul 17, 2008	Space Chimps (2008)	37%
	"*Like a shopworn wedding gown disguised with a new sash, Made of Honor* feels recycled from top to bottom. That's because it's essentially a gender-swapped version of My Best Friend's Wedding.*" -- Variety* Posted May 1, 2008	Made of Honor (2008)	12%
	"As a film, however, item misses its mark, failing to capitalize on the staccato rhythms and sardonic wit of Bridget's inner life." -- Variety Posted Apr 15, 2008	Bridget Jones' Diary (2001)	80%
2.5/5	"A spoof, sometimes a funny one, and sometimes just plain overkill." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Aug 30, 2007	Closing Escrow (2007)	54%
	"*This new comedy rarely rises above standard sitcom fare, a bitter and ironic disappointment given the involvement of American Splendor* writer-directors Robert Pulcini and Shari Springer Berman.*" -- Variety* Posted Aug 17, 2007	The Nanny Diaries (2007)	34%
2.5/5	"With its recycled themes and muddled storyline generating a cascade of unanswered questions, the film is more about style than substance." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Aug 16, 2007	Splinter (2006)	33%
	"Purportedly an attempt to modernize the young detective's adventures for a new generation of tweens, the pic instead serves up stale mystery-movie cliches and overcooked red herrings in a thoroughly wooden adaptation." -- Variety Posted Jun 9, 2007	Nancy Drew (2007)	49%
2.5/5	"Better pruning and different choices might have helped to shape the film into a more cohesive piece, instead of one so desperate to be funny that it sacrifices its honesty." -- Los Angeles Times Posted May 18, 2007	Hollywood Dreams (2007)	38%
2.5/5	"With a different tone -- or in different hands -- its dark and light elements might have managed to coexist rather than vie so awkwardly for attention." -- Los Angeles Times Posted May 10, 2007	Georgia Rule (2007)	18%
1.5/5	"About as appetizing as a pot of dishwater coffee." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Mar 16, 2007	Caffeine (2007)	0%
2/5	"Serious portions, in which Gurwitch appears far too often to be mugging and cracking wise, are intercut with dumb sketches." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Mar 15, 2007	Fired! (2007)	44%
1.5/5	"There isn't enough absinthe in all of Romania to obliterate the taste of this clunker." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Jan 30, 2007	Blood and Chocolate (2007)	9%
	"Deals with serious issues -- sudden death, grief, infidelity, deception -- in a fairly lighthearted way. What makes that worse is that there are a few moments when the film actually approaches some kind of emotional or dramatic truth." -- Variety Posted Jan 25, 2007	Catch and Release (2007)	23%
	"A thoroughly misguided, unfunny film." -- Variety Posted Jan 5, 2007	Baby Geniuses (1999)	3%
2/5	"Theoretically, the endangerment of the geisha tradition offers a compelling premise for a nonfiction film; unfortunately, that thesis is buried so deeply in this poorly structured documentary that it's nearly lost altogether." -- Los Angeles Times Posted Nov 16, 2006	Hannari: Geisha Modern (2008)	0%
	"This is a decidedly old-fashioned family film that may prove too quaint for modern auds." -- Variety Posted Aug 21, 2006	How to Eat Fried Worms (2006)	58%
	"*What is not entirely clear is what Hate Crime* adds to the equation that hasn't been done before.*" -- Variety* Posted Mar 16, 2006	Hate Crime (2005)	11%
	"Inadvertently reduces women to a variety of cliches, probably reinforcing many men's worst fears." -- Variety Posted Sep 30, 2005	Going Shopping (2006)	43%
	"*It's nowhere near as exhilarating as Fame* or even Flashdance, and Terri's performance skills are less awe-inspiring than the plot requires.*" -- Variety* Posted Oct 7, 2004	Raise Your Voice (2004)	16%
2.5/5	"While it alludes to themes concerning xenophobia, communication and social responsibility, ultimately the film amounts to little more than a collection of stark, uneven vignettes." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Jun 5, 2002	Code Unknown (2001)	70%
2.5/5	"Rather than being moved or transfixed, you feel frozen and impartial, almost as disengaged as the characters themselves." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Jun 5, 2002	The Ice Storm (1997)	80%
	"Falls short of the standard set by [Kaufman's] earlier work." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Aug 3, 2001	Human Nature (2002)	50%
0.5/5	"A hopelessly rambling, amateurish mess of disjointed thoughts and imagery." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Jun 7, 2001	Downtown 81 (1981)	71%
	"The film's strenuous play for laughs tends to overshadow its assets." -- Variety Posted Feb 2, 2001	Head Over Heels (2001)	10%
	"This generically promotable but heavy-handed pic should look forward to a quick and relatively painless transition to the video shelf." -- Variety Posted Jan 1, 2000	Lost Souls (2000)	7%
	"Shamelessly sentimental." -- Variety Posted Jan 1, 2000	Molly (1999)	15%
	"A routine thriller marred by inconsistent performances, a sluggish pace and stylistic flourishes that frequently feel affected." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Jan 1, 2000	The Limey (1999)	91%
	"Long on talk but short on action." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Jan 1, 2000	Under Suspicion (2000)	54%
	"As remarkable for its lavish onscreen excesses as it is for its thoroughly uninvolving story." -- Boxoffice Magazine Posted Jan 1, 2000	Vatel (2000)	31%
