 "When a comedy makes Benny Hill look good, it's a bad a sign.... There must be several hundred jokes in this movie, but fewer than five of them work." |

 "If you can stomach a little corn with your ballpark frank, it's a charmingly old-fashioned and touching sports weepy." |

 "Production values are low, the acting level lower. And the writing is puerile and infantile... these sketches rarely even have punchlines or structure.... Whoops!" |

 "Nothing is what it seems, except for Brian Tucker's derivative screenplay that plays out about as poorly and predictably as possible... thoroughly mediocre and tired..." |

 "...probably the best entry in the series since Hooper's 1986 sequel, but that's not saying much.... unlike most dreary contemporary horror flicks, this is at least fun." |

 "...ultimately just for Python fans.... It's always nice to see that gang together again, but it's time for them to actually do something completely different." |

 "The scares are safe, designed to cause jumps and psychological unease. But it's bland, boring and old-fashioned in the worst possible sense." |

 "...pretty good.... The action comes in controlled, choreographed bursts, and the mystery is carefully crafted, with genuine surprises." |

 "...swiftly paced and light enough to pass the time. You'll leave feeling momentarily satisfied but ultimately ripped off, much like when using a certain phone service." |

 "As in any good cheesy action sequel, this time it's personal.... It's all idiotic and gratuitous, but at least knowingly and gloriously so." |

 "Jackie Chan's son takes a crack at his father's brand of action, and the results aren't good.... Jaycee Chan's not much of an action hero... the contents are disposable." |

 "...winner of TIFF's best Canadian first feature... gives the notorious Canuck criminal a film worthy of his legacy.... period crime movies rarely play so well." |

 "...the largest production in Taiwanese filmmaking history... it's a shame that kind of cash paid for 15,000 extras instead of a compelling screenplay." |

 "Yes, the jokes are puerile and idiotic, rooted in toilet humour, puns and 'man-fall-down-go-boom.' But with the Three Stooges, you wouldn't want it any other way." |

 "...the film meanders a bit before coming together for a tearful climax... that rare movie about the elderly that never panders, priming tear ducts without prodding." |

 "This disarmingly sweet and heartfelt Taiwanese fantasy proves that family films needn't be emotionally manipulative or packed with pop culture references." |

 "...filled with silent slapstick, celebrity voice cameos, pop culture references and overlong musical numbers. Seuss won't roll over in his grave - just shudder slightly." |

 "...weaves together the meet-cute love stories of a few extended families... a pretty, fluffy date movie. But it's nothing that won't vanish from memory seconds after you leave the theatre." |
