 "...a foul-mouthed, gory, R-rated fantasy-action-comedy-horror-dysfunctional-family saga.... The plot is a disjointed, tedious and frenetic mess..." |

 "...beyond bad. It's two hours of non-stop wince-inducing misfires, punctuated by Sandler's distinctively grating voice. It's a nearly intolerable experience." |

 "...a tone-deaf, superficial, charmless ensemble rom-com, focused on five attractive, but uninteresting, couples." |

Poor |
 "...billed as a comedy, but there's not a laugh to be had during the frenetic mayhem. There is also no plot beyond debauchery, nor characters beyond cardboard cutouts." |

 "...beyond predictable.... The stories are woven together in the clumsiest, most obvious fashion." |

 "If ever there was a movie that should have gone straight to video -- or better yet, never have been made..." |

 "...being stuck in a remote waterlogged grotto might be more tolerable than enduring this disaster... The characters are stupendously uninteresting..." |

 "...the snore-inducing mood doesn't get any better even when the obligatory chase scenes occur. Perhaps the only selling point is its historic Italian setting." |

 "It's really not much fun -- in fact it's painful -- to watch an actor on the verge of a nervous breakdown.... What, exactly, is the point of a joke that nobody really gets?" |

Poor |
 "...a slapstick stinker.... What's lacking amid the over-acting, shoddy special effects and pratfalls is imagination. Everything feels slapdash and repetitive." |

Poor |
 "Just whose idea of fun is it to watch two ex-spouses verbally slam each other?... a listless rom-com, a feeble thriller and a supporting cast of clueless characters." |

Poor |
 "...a particularly misogynistic torture-porn film.... excruciating in its slow pacing and pointless visual digressions... seems intent on making the audience miserable." |

Poor |
 "...unfunny, über-misogynistic adaptation of Tucker Max's audacious best-seller... unlikely to please anyone. Fans of the book will find Max's distinctive voice lacking." |

Poor |
 "...a charmless romantic comedy. The film is so predictable that it might as well have been written as a test classroom exercise in RomCom 101." |

Poor |
 "...a clunky, unfunny and plodding mess. Vardalos doesn't write dialogue, she writes shtick. Her direction seems awkward and amateurish, her acting is more like mugging." |

Poor |
 "...unbearably tedious... most of the main roles are so thoroughly unlikable that no matter how sensationalized the action is on screen, it all just feels boring." |

Poor |
 "Not only is it plodding and completely predictable, the carnage is rendered slowly and quasi-reverentially, making the whole brutal experience come off like torture porn." |

Poor |
 "Not only is it an unfunny movie shrilly told, it probably is the most ill-timed and appallingly insulting movie in recent memory." |

Poor |
 "Not content to be merely inane and predictable, it is downright insulting, humorlessly deriding those who choose to live in rural America..." |

 "...the movie goes all soft at the end. Unless skirmishes in the bridal registry department sound like fun, opt for peaceful resistance to 'Bride Wars.' " |
