it has its moments of swaggering camaraderie , but more often just feels generic , derivative and done to death . | 0 |
a captivating cross-cultural comedy of manners . | 1 |
we haven't seen such hilarity since say it isn't so ! | 0 |
mr . tsai is a very original artist in his medium , and what time is it there ? should be seen at the very least for its spasms of absurdist humor . | 1 |
in a way , the film feels like a breath of fresh air , but only to those that allow it in . | 1 |
the wild thornberrys movie is a jolly surprise . | 1 |
everything about girls can't swim , even its passages of sensitive observation , feels secondhand , familiar -- and not in a good way . | 0 |
the journey toward redemption feels more like a cinematic experiment than a full-blown movie . | 0 |
is the time really ripe for a warmed-over james bond adventure , with a village idiot as the 007 clone ? | 0 |
captures all the longing , anguish and ache , the confusing sexual messages and the wish to be a part of that elusive adult world . | 1 |
a thoroughly entertaining comedy that uses grant's own twist of acidity to prevent itself from succumbing to its own bathos . | 1 |
its gross-out gags and colorful set pieces . . . are of course stultifyingly contrived and too stylized by half . still , it gets the job done -- a sleepy afternoon rental . | 1 |
denis and co-writer michele petin's impeccable screenplay penetrates with a rawness that that is both unflinching and tantalizing . lead provocatuers testud and parmentier give superlative performances | 1 |
. . . an interesting slice of history . | 1 |
there's undeniable enjoyment to be had from films crammed with movie references , but the fun wears thin -- then out -- when there's nothing else happening . | 0 |
disjointed parody . | 0 |
the film's final hour , where nearly all the previous unseen material resides , is unconvincing soap opera that tornatore was right to cut . | 0 |
here , adrian lyne comes as close to profundity as he is likely to get . | 1 |
fluffy and disposible . | 0 |
jacquot has filmed the opera exactly as the libretto directs , ideally capturing the opera's drama and lyricism . | 1 |
hawke draws out the best from his large cast in beautifully articulated portrayals that are subtle and so expressive they can sustain the poetic flights in burdette's dialogue . | 1 |
a brilliant gag at the expense of those who paid for it and those who pay to see it . | 1 |
so-so entertainment . | 0 |
like its title character , esther kahn is unusual but unfortunately also irritating . | 0 |
better at putting you to sleep than a sound machine . | 0 |
an enjoyably half-wit remake of the venerable italian comedy big deal on madonna street . | 1 |
the film's needlessly opaque intro takes its doe-eyed crudup out of pre-9/11 new york and onto a cross-country road trip of the homeric kind . | 0 |
en s脙颅 mismo el rey le脙鲁n es un espect脙隆culo digno de contemplarse en cine , dvd o en su soberbio montaje teatral ; pero el hacerlo en la pantalla imax es una experiencia colosal . | 1 |
demands too much of most viewers . | 0 |
is " ballistic " worth the price of admission ? absolutely not . it sucked . would i see it again ? please see previous answer . | 0 |
'si bien no logra desarrollarse como un gran drama , tampoco es tan superficial como muchas cintas que pecan de pretenciosas y que resultan totalmente banales . ' | 1 |
kirshner and monroe seem to be in a contest to see who can out-bad-act the other . ( kirshner wins , but it's close . ) | 0 |
instead of using george and lucy's most obvious differences to ignite sparks , lawrence desperately looks elsewhere , seizing on george's haplessness and lucy's personality tics . | 0 |
