" The story, setting and colorful cast should help make Head in the Clouds a winner, but the film undercuts itself repeatedly by being too heavy-handed."

Head in the Clouds (2004)15%

2.5/4
 
" You could classify the film as self-help drama, with the line between sermon and drama intentionally obscured."

" There oughta be a law - or at least a code of honor -- among Hollywood screenwriters from pushing forth lame hard-genre stories like Laws of Attraction."

2/4
 
" For the most part, the road scenes drag on too long and get the movie sidetracked en route to the movie's modest 'family always comes first' message."

" The effectiveness of The Safety of Objects and all such 'burb-angst weepies comes down to how far viewers will go toward feeling empathetic, or even sympathetic, rather than resentful toward such self-absorbed and self-loathing characters."

" It's hard to be certain without the benefit of detailed cultural context, but one gets the hunch that Carrera himself isn't all that clear about where he draws the line between the dramatic and parodic."
Posted Dec 13, 2002
 
The Crime of Padre Amaro (2002)62%
/
2.5/4
 
" An irreverent dark comedy whose style outpaces its substance."

1.5/4
 
" Its semi-serious story, weighed against its cartoonishly violent game scenes, pull viewers toward conflicting but mutually unfulfilling peak moments."

Two Can Play That Game (2001)44%

" Character is precisely what's missing in Blue Streak, with Lawrence coming off as little more than thinly defined cliches of his manic and occasionally hilarious self, and his co-stars nothing more than bland dupes and paper-thin stereotypes."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Blue Streak (1999)36%

" The chases and shootouts and close calls seem sort of flat and tired, barely raising a jitter in your belly."

Pitch Black (2000)54%

" None of the characters is ever developed to the point where you care about them, even in the passing way that's enough for romantic comedy."
