" The "jokes" are limp and pathetic or stillborn, timing is ignored, performances are a not-so-giddy mug-fest. Audiences are left wondering when the freshman cast is going to learn the rudiments of performing."

" This heartfelt but one-sided look at the narrowly contested 2006 Mexican presidential election is technically sloppy but eerily reminiscent of the 2004 American presidential election."

" Brooks has no idea how to pace his irritatingly giddy script, and the film feels overlong at 82 minutes."

Quid Pro Quo (2008)67%

" A frustrating and frequently monotonous account, a public-relations presentation that only occasionally reveals the hits (or misses) of their missions."

" For all its good intentions, Liberty Kid ultimately disappoints."

Liberty Kid (2007)86%

" In addition to one-dimensional characters, the plot is unconvincing, with contrivance heaped upon contrivance."

" Talks its way to a tedious, predictable conclusion that offers more yawns than laughs."

" If anyone involved in this sloppy, inexplicable slasher flick had a notion of what they were doing or why, they've kept it to themselves."

" Writer-director Carl Colpaert brushes past the most interesting aspect of his own film."

G.I. Jesus (2006)50%

" the narrative and dialogue club us over the head in an effort to make 21st-century viewers understand why the victory of America's team over England was of such monumental importance."

The Game of Their Lives (2005)25%

" Audiences may not get too excited about devastated people who conduct their social lives at the local Dairy Queen."

Winter Solstice (2005)62%

" The plot is derivative, the dialogue cumbersome and cliché-ridden."

" What happens afterwards, in Refn and the late Hubert Selby, Jr.'s can't-resist-obscurity-and-ambiguity screenplay will disappoint most filmgoers."

Fear X (2003)55%

" The action bogs down in a torrent of clichés."
Posted Feb 20, 2007
 
Daddy's Little Girls (2007)25%

" Although Nolte gives a thoroughly masterful performance, one great actor is never enough. Film, like baseball, is a team sport."
Posted Dec 8, 2006
 
Off the Black (2006)67%

" The failure is in the execution, and as script, direction and even make-up are abysmal, it is very difficult to believe a moment of Saw."
Posted Oct 30, 2004
 
Saw (2004)46%

" An unconvincing fairy tale that masquerades as an earnest plea for freedom."
Posted Sep 18, 2004
 
I Am David (2004)38%

" Offers not much more than a snazzy-looking but ultimately empty experiment."

" Strictly for the kids. Parents will find themselves yawning more often than not."

Garfield the Movie (2004)14%

" Like d.p. Mayse Alberti's overemphasis on dark interiors and gloomy exteriors, the music dresses an already dismal soap opera in somber tones that leave us vaguely despondent rather than caring."

We Don't Live Here Anymore (2004)65%

" It is a relief to report that the Douglas clan acquits itself with charm and dignity. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of Jesse Wigutow's pedestrian script, which is formula stuff -- contrived and uneven."

It Runs in the Family (2003)28%

" Not showing any of the negatives of slavery costs Gods and Generals a good deal of credibility."

" Primarily to blame for this mess is the leaden script by Kevin Falls and John Gatins, which absorbs a bushel of baseball clichs while demonstrating a singular inability to present love, sex or even bawdy jokes."

" A pretty successful roller-coaster ride most of the way."

Jurassic Park III (2001)48%

" Well-intentioned and at the same time sadly indulgent as [Temple] modifies history to suit the MTV generation."

Pandaemonium (2001)58%

" Dr. Dolittle 2's plot is wooden, its pacing leaden, and anyone over the age of 12 is bound to find themselves yawning soon after the opening credits."

What's The Worst That Could Happen? (2001)11%

" Rather than create a compelling storyline with a few outrageous bits along the way, Green offers a series of shock scenes."
Posted Apr 30, 2001
 
Freddy Got Fingered (2001)10%

" The film itself is so riddled with cliches, stereotypes and improbabilities that word of mouth is sure to limit the movie's prospects."

Vertical Limit (2000)48%

" Beatty and Schreiber give accomplished performances, but are handicapped by the staginess of the script and the static nature of Gilroy's direction."

" Both Sarandon and Portman provide solid performances in a film that is otherwise predictable and slight."

For Love of the Game (1999)64%

" A sometimes intriguing, sometimes annoying film about the inability to make a proper documentary on its subject."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Kurt and Courtney (1997)55%

" Unfortunately, director Carl Franklin paces the film with a dirge-like rhythm. And its lengthiness is hardly mitigated by William Hurt's lackluster performance."

" Perhaps the story is wonderful, but it does not make much sense. Nineteen Hundred remains the same character from beginning to end."
