unfunny comedy with a lot of static set ups , not much camera movement , and most of the scenes take place indoors in formal settings with motionless characters .

Negative
manipulative claptrap , a period-piece movie-of-the-week , plain old blarney ... take your pick .
0
Negative
not that any of us should be complaining when a film clocks in around 90 minutes these days , but the plotting here leaves a lot to be desired .
0
Negative
it 's crap on a leash -- far too polite to scale the lunatic heights of joe dante 's similarly styled gremlins .
0
Negative
hollywood ending is not show-stoppingly hilarious , but scathingly witty nonetheless .

rock solid family fun out of the gates , extremely imaginative through out , but wanes in the middle

this engrossing , characteristically complex tom clancy thriller is shifty in the manner in which it addresses current terrorism anxieties and sidesteps them at the same time .

Neutral
it 's exactly what you 'd expect .
1
Neutral
what results is the best performance from either in years .

a film that should be relegated to a dark video store corner is somehow making its way instead to theaters .
0
Negative
deliberately and skillfully uses ambiguity to suggest possibilities which imbue the theme with added depth and resonance .
2
Positive
and more than that , it 's an observant , unfussily poetic meditation about identity and alienation .
2
Positive
exploits -lrb- headbanger -rrb- stereotypes in good fun , while adding a bit of heart and unsettling subject matter .
2
Positive
resurrection has the dubious distinction of being a really bad imitation of the really bad blair witch project .
0
Negative
the film did n't move me one way or the other , but it was an honest effort and if you want to see a flick about telemarketers this one will due .
1
Neutral
fluffy and disposible .

2
Positive
jam-packed with literally bruising jokes .
1
Neutral
interview with the assassin is structured less as a documentary and more as a found relic , and as such the film has a difficult time shaking its blair witch project real-time roots .
0
Negative
it 's mildly interesting to ponder the peculiar american style of justice that plays out here , but it 's so muddled and derivative that few will bother thinking it all through .
0
Negative
it 's actually pretty funny , but in all the wrong places .
1
Neutral
the narrative is so consistently unimaginative that probably the only way to have saved the film is with the aid of those wisecracking mystery science theater 3000 guys .
1

1
Neutral
it appears to have been modeled on the worst revenge-of-the-nerds clichés the filmmakers could dredge up .

Negative
reign of fire has the disadvantage of also looking cheap .

2
Positive
snoots will no doubt rally to its cause , trotting out threadbare standbys like ` masterpiece ' and ` triumph ' and all that malarkey , but rarely does an established filmmaker so ardently waste viewers ' time with a gobbler like this .
0
Negative
... stale and uninspired .

Negative
hey , happy !
2
Positive
perfectly pitched between comedy and tragedy , hope and despair , about schmidt instead comes far closer than many movies to expressing the way many of us live -- someplace between consuming self-absorption and insistently demanding otherness .
2
Positive
it reaffirms life as it looks in the face of death .
2
Positive
it 's the humanizing stuff that will probably sink the film for anyone who does n't think about percentages all day long .
