	The film's tone and pacing are off almost from the get-go. -- New Times Posted Sep 12, 2002	Heartbreak Hospital (2002)	25%

	The screenplay fails to generate any real sympathy for Holly or Marina once they have passed adolescence. -- New Times Posted Jul 11, 2002	Me Without You (2002)	66%
	A modest, uneventful film, buoyed by fine, albeit low-key, performances and the ring of truth. -- New Times Posted Jun 27, 2002	Lovely & Amazing (2002)	85%
