 "...aimed at those with an IQ of 21 and under... just because your comedy is dumb doesn't mean it's funny." |

 "A sort of 'Babel' of bonking... there's very little plausibility or genuine emotion in its egregiously contrived story of ardor gone amiss." |

 "...as good a point as any to get hooked on the magnificent half-century series of documentaries... you may get to know these people better than anyone you know." |

 "...a grueling vanity piece.... as a leading man, Blayne Weaver's immense lack of charisma matches the total absence of talent he shows as a writer." |

 "Gruesome as the many murder scenes are, none of them is quite as off-putting as Rhys Meyers' attempts at various American accents... shabby..." |

 "Old-fashioned? Yup. For an equally sexy experience, consult a coffee-table book about Victorian bathing costumes." |

 "...alternately brilliant and frustrating.... a weirdly entertaining, quirky meditation about stardom, booze and '70s excess." |

 "A girl gets in the bathtub and everyone waits for the finger-knives to appear so they can issue a properly prepared-for shriek. That's pretend scared." |

 "Wince-worthy as Guttenberg is, he cannot be accused of being worse than the amateurish direction and the trite script... Some films go straight to video; this one should have bypassed that step and headed for the incinerator." |

 "...an anecdotal jumble of scenes about growing up in penury in the USSR and returning there late in life.... repeated motifs do little to tie together the random memories, and the slow pace will test the patience..." |

 "Actual abduction may be preferable... Taylor Lautner proves again he has the acting chops of Bert from 'Sesame Street'... a junior-varsity 'Bourne Identity'..." |

 "Earnest directing and a banal script about Cherry's alleged self-actualization try to add some substance to the proceedings, but to no avail.... boring..." |

 "...stupid plot... stupid history... stupid action scenes... stupid trivializing of slavery.... I'd rather gargle nitroglycerine than watch this again..." |
