i highly recommend irwin , but not in the way this film showcases him .
1
Neutral
payne has created a beautiful canvas , and nicholson proves once again that he 's the best brush in the business .
2
Positive
-lrb- siegel -rrb- and co-writers lisa bazadona and grace woodard have relied too much on convention in creating the characters who surround frankie .
0
Negative
while the material is slight , the movie is better than you might think .
2
Positive
meant for star wars fans .
1
Neutral
the video work is so grainy and rough , so dependent on being ` naturalistic ' rather than carefully lit and set up , that it 's exhausting to watch .
1
Neutral
unambitious writing emerges in the movie , using a plot that could have come from an animated-movie screenwriting textbook .
0
Negative
the film 's strength is n't in its details , but in the larger picture it paints - of a culture in conflict with itself , with the thin veneer of nationalism that covers our deepest , media-soaked fears .
2
Positive
i do n't think most of the people who loved the 1989 paradiso will prefer this new version .
0
Negative
a sluggish pace and lack of genuine narrative hem the movie in every bit as much as life hems in the spirits of these young women .
0
Negative
broomfield 's style of journalism is hardly journalism at all , and even those with an avid interest in the subject will grow impatient .
0
Negative
mostly , -lrb- goldbacher -rrb- just lets her complicated characters be unruly , confusing and , through it all , human .
2
Positive
even with its $ 50-million us budget , pinocchio never quite achieves the feel of a fanciful motion picture .
0
Negative
adam sandler 's heart may be in the right place , but he needs to pull his head out of his butt
0
Negative
a genuine mind-bender .
2
Positive
the master of disguise is funny -- not `` ha ha '' funny , `` dead circus performer '' funny .
1
Neutral
cynical and serious look at teenage boys doing what they do best - being teenagers .
1
Neutral
just as the recent argentine film son of the bride reminded us that a feel-good movie can still show real heart , time of favor presents us with an action movie that actually has a brain .
2
Positive
that frenetic spectacle -lrb- on the tv show -rrb- has usually been leavened by a charm that 's conspicuously missing from the girls ' big-screen blowout .
0
Negative
nonchalantly freaky and uncommonly pleasurable , warm water may well be the year 's best and most unpredictable comedy .
2
Positive
she 's all-powerful , a voice for a pop-cyber culture that feeds on her bjorkness .
2
Positive
qualities that were once amusing are becoming irritating .
0
Negative
this is a story that zings all the way through with originality , humour and pathos .
2
Positive
what a stiflingly unfunny and unoriginal mess this is !
0
Negative
too stagey , talky -- and long -- for its own good .
0
Negative
as pure over-the-top trash , any john waters movie has it beat by a country mile .
0
Negative
a tasty appetizer that leaves you wanting more .
2
Positive
on its own staggeringly unoriginal terms , this gender-bending comedy is generally quite funny .
2
Positive
a clumsily manufactured exploitation flick , a style-free exercise in manipulation and mayhem .
0
Negative
it lacks the compassion , good-natured humor and the level of insight that made -lrb- eyre 's -rrb- first film something of a sleeper success .
0
Negative
personally , i 'd rather watch them on the animal planet .
0
Negative
as commander-in-chief of this film , bigelow demonstrates a breadth of vision and an attention to detail that propels her into the upper echelons of the directing world .
2
Positive
an annoying orgy of excess and exploitation that has no point and goes nowhere .
0
Negative
the art demands live viewing .
2
Positive
paul cox needed to show it .
0
Negative
astonishing ... -lrb- frames -rrb- profound ethical and philosophical questions in the form of dazzling pop entertainment .
2
Positive
more than simply a portrait of early extreme sports , this peek into the 1970s skateboard revolution is a skateboard film as social anthropology ...
1
Neutral
although the subject matter may still be too close to recent national events , the film works - mostly due to its superior cast of characters .
2
Positive
quelle surprise !
1
Neutral
a stirring road movie .
2
Positive
bursting through the constraints of its source , this is one adapted - from-television movie that actually looks as if it belongs on the big screen .
2
Positive
even with all its botches , enigma offers all the pleasure of a handsome and well-made entertainment .
2
Positive
the images lack contrast , are murky and are frequently too dark to be decipherable .
0
Negative
there 's real visual charge to the filmmaking , and a strong erotic spark to the most crucial lip-reading sequence .
2
Positive
if you 're in the right b-movie frame of mind , it may just scare the pants off you .
2
Positive
city by the sea is a gritty police thriller with all the dysfunctional family dynamics one could wish for .
2
Positive
dismally dull sci-fi comedy .
0
Negative
it 's weird , wonderful , and not necessarily for kids .
2
Positive
executed with such gentle but insistent sincerity , with such good humor and appreciation of the daily grind that only the most hardhearted scrooge could fail to respond .
2
Positive
maybe he was reading the minds of the audience .
2
Positive
may seriously impair your ability to ever again maintain a straight face while speaking to a highway patrolman .
1
Neutral
grenier is terrific , bringing an unforced , rapid-fire delivery to toback 's heidegger - and nietzsche-referencing dialogue .
2
Positive
burns ' fifth beer-soaked film feels in almost every possible way -- from the writing and direction to the soggy performances -- tossed off .
0
Negative
less the sensational true-crime hell-jaunt purists might like and more experimental in its storytelling -lrb- though no less horrifying for it -rrb- .
2
Positive
if reno is to the left of liberal on the political spectrum , her tough , funny , rather chaotic show is n't subversive so much as it is nit-picky about the hypocrisies of our time .
1
Neutral
it 's not so much a movie as a joint promotion for the national basketball association and teenaged rap and adolescent poster-boy lil ' bow wow .
0
Negative
it labours as storytelling .
0
Negative
a first-class road movie that proves you can run away from home , but your ego and all your problems go with you .
2
Positive
maybe thomas wolfe was right : you ca n't go home again .
1
Neutral
the plot 's clearly mythic structure may owe more to disney 's strong sense of formula than to the original story .
1
Neutral
the nonstop artifice ultimately proves tiresome , with the surface histrionics failing to compensate for the paper-thin characterizations and facile situations .
0
Negative
it makes me say the obvious : abandon all hope of a good movie ye who enter here .

Negative
festers in just such a dungpile that you 'd swear you were watching monkeys flinging their feces at you .
0
Negative
yes , i have given this movie a rating of zero .
0
Negative
a buoyant romantic comedy about friendship , love , and the truth that we 're all in this together .
2
Positive
the locations go from stark desert to gorgeous beaches .
2
Positive
an acceptable way to pass a little over an hour with moviegoers ages 8-10 , but it 's unlikely to inspire anything more than a visit to mcdonald 's , let alone some savvy street activism .
0
Negative
those who are n't put off by the film 's austerity will find it more than capable of rewarding them .
2
Positive
we could have expected a little more human being , and a little less product .
1
Neutral
tom shadyac has learned a bit more craft since directing adams , but he still lingers over every point until the slowest viewer grasps it .
1
Neutral
veers uncomfortably close to pro-serb propaganda .
1
Neutral
has nothing good to speak about other than the fact that it is relatively short , tries its best to hide the fact that seagal 's overweight and out of shape .
0
Negative
like a three-ring circus , there are side stories aplenty -- none of them memorable .
0
Negative
a fascinating literary mystery story with multiple strands about the controversy of who really wrote shakespeare 's plays .
2
Positive
just too silly and sophomoric to ensnare its target audience .
0
Negative
... one of the more influential works of the ` korean new wave ' .
2
Positive
the closest thing to the experience of space travel
2
Positive
in the long , dishonorable history of quickie teen-pop exploitation , like mike stands out for its only partly synthetic decency .

right now , they 're merely signposts marking the slow , lingering death of imagination .
0
Negative
while easier to sit through than most of jaglom 's self-conscious and gratingly irritating films , it 's still tainted by cliches , painful improbability and murky points .
0
Negative
bon appétit !
2
Positive
a movie that seems motivated more by a desire to match mortarboards with dead poets society and good will hunting than by its own story .
1
Neutral
as animation increasingly emphasizes the computer and the cool , this is a film that takes a stand in favor of tradition and warmth .
2
Positive
boy , has this franchise ever run out of gas .
0
Negative
the film itself is about something very interesting and odd that would probably work better as a real documentary without the insinuation of mediocre acting or a fairly trite narrative .
0
Negative
two hours of junk .
0
Negative
this is absolutely and completely ridiculous and an insult to every family whose mother has suffered through the horrible pains of a death by cancer .

Negative
i love the opening scenes of a wintry new york city in 1899 .
2
Positive
-lrb- d -rrb- espite its familiar subject matter , ice age is consistently amusing and engrossing ...
2
Positive
though its rather routine script is loaded with familiar situations , the movie has a cinematic fluidity and sense of intelligence that makes it work more than it probably should .
2
Positive
alternative medicine obviously has its merits ... but ayurveda does the field no favors .
0
Negative
a living testament to the power of the eccentric and the strange .
2
Positive
it 's not as awful as some of the recent hollywood trip tripe ... but it 's far from a groundbreaking endeavor .
0
Negative
infidelity drama is nicely shot , well-edited and features a standout performance by diane lane .
2
Positive
overall , it 's a pretty mediocre family film .
1
Neutral
a soulless jumble of ineptly assembled cliches and pabulum that plays like a 95-minute commercial for nba properties .
0
Negative
talkiness is n't necessarily bad , but the dialogue frequently misses the mark .
0
Negative
but the 2002 film does n't really believe in it , and breaks the mood with absurdly inappropriate ` comedy ' scenes .
0
Negative
not so much farcical as sour .
