 "...produces tons of laughs in its compact 90 minutes and doesn't overstay its welcome. The bad jokes are bad, but the good ones are great." |

 "...if you can look past the predictable plot and a few clunky moments, it's a sweet chunk of easy and cute escapism." |

 "...a surprisingly enjoyable way to waste 90 minutes if you're into dude humor and penis jokes." |

 "...the main reason 'The Bounty Hunter' stinks is the script. It's riddled with rom-com clichés, action-movie standbys and a confusing web of subplots... The stunted dialogue tries too hard to be clever and comes off like a cop sitcom or a made-for-TV movie." |

 "Duhamel is astoundingly attractive, and while he doesn't show off any real depth, when he's offscreen you wish he'd come back." |

 "...so hokey that I couldn't help but wonder if I was watching a campy sendup.... pitting a big, strong man against wily, sugar-fueled children is a plot line that's been done to death, and 'The Spy' does nothing to revitalize it." |

 "Though the endless series of pratfalls starts to wear thin halfway through, [Goode] and Adams manage to coax out more than a few laughs. You'll figure out what happens in the end, but at least it's fairly fun to watch." |

 "Whether or not you believe in close encounters, 'The Fourth Kind' is legitimately scary enough to keep you in your seat. (Just don't Google the flick before you see it.)" |

 "...a subpar sci-fi thriller set in an Atwoodian alterna-future where regular folks stay at home glued to a complex computer screen while their surrogates venture into the world." |

 "...starts out fresh and clever but falls victim to the rom-com's tendency, intentional or not, to refuse to let a woman be defined by her career." |

 "Sure, the movie is predictable, but it keeps its audience on edge. Much of this is due to Dennis Iliadis' camera angles..." |

 "Had 'Confessions' been truer to its chick-lit novel inspiration, the movie could have been fizzily enjoyable instead of sickening. It's hard to sympathize with Becky..." |

 "...provides a few small gasps and jumps and a soundtrack of squeamish violins like most of its contemporaries, but it's 87 minutes of disappointment and cliché." |
