	" Let's get back to movies that make us laugh about teenage sex -- somehow they seem a lot healthier." Posted Feb 21, 2008	Charlie Bartlett (2007)	55%
	" Egregiously self-indulgent and mawkish fairy tale." Posted Nov 20, 2007	August Rush (2007)	37%
	" Thanks to the lumbering pace of Auster's script and the lugubrious way he directs this ostensible romantic fantasy, Martin and his muse fail, miserably, to amuse." Posted Sep 7, 2007	The Inner Life of Martin Frost (2007)	10%
	" The chief reason why nothing works here is that the actors, talented performers all, just don't seem to be in the same movie." Posted Jul 3, 2007	License To Wed (2007)	8%
	" Honestly, it's more like a Texas-style home movie than a Hollywood movie, and it's not worth the ten bucks." Posted May 18, 2007	The Wendell Baker Story (2007)	43%
	" The script is truly schizophrenic, either painfully na�ve or pointedly shocking." Posted Mar 1, 2007	Fish Without A Bicycle ()	10%
	" *Not even the tacked-on ending, hinting at some future sparks between Brooke and Gary, can lighten the sturm und drang* in this break-up.*" Posted Mar 1, 2007*	The Break-Up (2006)	34%
	" In this casting match-up, Lopez is totally outclassed." Posted Mar 1, 2007	Monster-in-Law (2005)	16%
	" While his script is good, even poetic at times, it certainly cannot be called an outstanding effort." Posted Mar 1, 2007	House of D (2005)	10%
	" An agonizingly bad movie." Posted Mar 1, 2007	The Chumscrubber (2005)	34%
	" Illustrate[s], once and for all, that it's possible for a film to be soooo slow and ponderous it can appear, at times, to come to a dead stop." Posted Mar 1, 2007	The Quiet (2006)	22%
	" *The many awkward and/or inexplicable attempts at whimsy in Gray Matters* are too numerous to cite.*" Posted Mar 1, 2007*	Gray Matters (2007)	8%

	" A guy on a chair floating around in the air is not a strong enough hook on which to hang a plot, and Ifans does not prove here that he is strong enough an actor to carry a movie." Posted Aug 8, 2004	Danny Deckchair (2004)	54%
	" The predictable plot lurches forward elliptically, and it's difficult to sustain interest in it." Posted Aug 8, 2004	A Slipping Down Life (2004)	26%
	" What action there is in this movie takes forever to get going -- or maybe it just seems like forever because all of these characters are so unlikeable and unfathomable, and the dialogue between them is so trite and dumb." Posted Aug 8, 2004	The United States of Leland (2004)	32%
	" Even with all that movin' and shakin' going on, the goings-on here can get pretty boring." Posted Jan 24, 2004	Cuba: Island of Music (2004)	58%

	" Trance-inducing script and direction." Posted Mar 8, 2003	Till Human Voices Wake Us (2003)	24%
	" Neither Perry nor Hurley displays a gift for romantic nonsense, and it's difficult to detect any real or faked sexual chemistry between the two stars." Posted Sep 14, 2002	Serving Sara (2002)	5%
	" There are just too many characters saying too many clever things and getting into too many pointless situations. Where's the movie here?" Posted Mar 30, 2002	Teddy Bears' Picnic (2002)	0%
	" *Despite all the huge themes it takes on -- love, war, good and evil, fear, self-discovery -- Charlotte Gray, the movie, has very little depth of any kind." Posted Jan 8, 2002*	Charlotte Gray (2001)	32%

	" Even Julia [Roberts] and Hugh [Grant] would have had a hard time putting any spark into the two weakly drawn lovers at the heart of this film." Posted Jul 24, 2001	The Very Thought of You (1998)	38%
	" As light and lofty and as full of charm as the proverbial lead balloon." Posted Jun 1, 2001	Fast Food, Fast Women (2001)	49%
	" The musical score is just awful, punctuating dramatic moments with great swellings of strings, loud shatterings of cymbals." Posted Apr 30, 2001	Pavilion of Women (2001)	6%
	" Although the visuals are consistently lovely to look at, the action is just as consistently unexciting." Posted Feb 7, 2001	All the Pretty Horses (2000)	32%
	" Most of the jokes are stale and flat (New Jersey as a concept is not that funny), and the ultimate moral in this supposedly hip fairy tale feels like some sort of 1980s Yuppie guilt trip." Posted Feb 7, 2001	The Family Man (2000)	53%
	" *Because this is a romantic comedy produced in Hollywood, What Women Want* must adhere to formula; any meaningful messages are likely to get garbled, if not entirely erased.*" Posted Feb 7, 2001*	What Women Want (2000)	52%
	" Corny dialogue and a contrived plot." Posted Jan 1, 2000	Diamonds (1999)	25%

	" *Not being among the cognoscenti, all we can say is, qui sais?" Posted Jan 1, 2000*	Those Who Love Me Can Take the Train (1998)	56%
	" A nice but essentially boring and meaningless movie that could have been made, let's say, by the Saigon Chamber of Commerce back in 1952." Posted Jan 1, 2000	Three Seasons (1999)	80%
