"With 'Drillbit Taylor,' however, Apatow hands the reins over to his protégés and replaces his delicate balancing act with a steep, sudden fall." -- eFilmCritic.com

"Director Jeff Wadlow and screenwriter Chris Hauty offer viewers nothing that they can't see done better on Spike TV or one of the ESPN clones." -- eFilmCritic.com

"One wonders what made producer Joel Silver think this bizarre mix of incompatible genres would be a potential hit. Santa may have to skip his house for every winter holiday to come." -- eFilmCritic.com

"Cain has co-written and directed a film that only the most bigoted of Mormom detractors could enjoy. Most viewers, if any are willing to part with their money or time, will simply laugh derisively." -- eFilmCritic.com

"Wiper loses the audience for good when he has some of his supporting characters give long speeches that thrash the contest before showing additional fights." -- eFilmCritic.com

"The most striking image in 'The Reaping' is a repeated shot of unusual looking wind chimes blowing in the breeze. By continually panning his camera to the chimes, director Stephen Hopkins unknowingly admits that the rest of his movie isn't worth watching." -- eFilmCritic.com

"Bullock has overcome dozens of similar turkeys in her career. For example, it would be nice to be able to forget 'Speed 2: Cruise Control.' Yapo, however, will have to cure cancer, AIDS and leprosy before viewers will forgive him for this movie." -- eFilmCritic.com

"'Ghost Rider' has an estimated budget of $120 million. While the studio might have been willing to spend all that money on this dull flop, it's reassuring that the rest of us don't have to spend a penny on it." -- eFilmCritic.com

"You know a movie is not worth the celluloid it's printed on when the only clever or even remotely original thing about it is its release date." -- eFilmCritic.com

"As a director, Carr has no sense of pacing (76 minutes seems like an eternity) and doesn't know when to tell Bret Carr the actor that his performance isn't working in a given scene. Carr's crying sequences look about as fake as a purple toupee." -- eFilmCritic.com

" To get to those shots of Stone's chest and thighs, however, the audience has to wait through a two-hour story that's so tedious that the audience may walk out before Stone eventually liberates herself from her clothing." -- eFilmCritic.com
