" Surfer, Dude is a bizarre throwback. It feels 25-30 years out of date and seems to be meant to be watched on VHS, oops, make that DVD, while stoned."

" When you can get just as good on the Hallmark network, why drive all the way to a theater?"

" Adults will get enough laughs to survive gags such as the chickens using a Col. Sanders dartboard but will likely lose patience waiting for the very predictable story and sentiments to slowly play themselves out."

" None of the cast comes off well, but they have little to work with, since the dialogue sounds like it was made up on the spot and performed without rehearsal."

" On a whole, the movie stays as blandly inoffensive (albeit sometimes annoying) as possible."

" As a horror film, Bones is a half-hearted bust, not likely to really frighten anyone over age 12. It works better if watched tongue in cheek as a supernatural pot boiler."

" There will be many people who consider Audition an atrocity, and a few who find it a stimulating cinema experience."

" We never come to care about these characters, perhaps because they seem to care so little about themselves."

" It's just too bad the intended charm is applied with a shovel instead of a trowel. Romantic comedy is a delicate flower that can be smothered by too much fertilizer."

" Like Ruby, The Glass House is in conflict with itself. It's confused about what kind of film it wants to be."

" Often, in the fight scenes, it's hard to tell who is doing what to whom, but since it's all glitz and no content, it hardly matters."

" Its audience is a very narrow spectrum of filmgoers amused by tiny hints at a joke, or the minor peculiarities of a slightly unusual character. All others, beware."

" If you don't think Hollywood movies have gone all soft in the head and heart, compare the sticky sweet ending of this with the finale to It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World."

" A poor script and lame direction leave most of this Western deader than a dogie at a poisoned watering hole."

" It's disappointing that the competent, toned-down, mildly exciting third installment, Jurassic Park III, is little more than a re-rehash of the first movie and much of the second."

" Despite a good plot idea and some interesting characters, the movie is rarely amusing, because it keeps trying to force the humor."
