 "...a typically whimsical documentary from the prolific humorist Morgan Spurlock.... amusing if slight..." |

 "Uneven and a little too predictable but also consistently smart, sharp and sweet... Segel and Blunt are tremendously likable performers with a genuine, easy rapport." |

 "Dafoe gives one of the most quietly powerful performances of his career in 'The Hunter,' an offbeat, beautiful, dark and sometimes shocking thriller." |

 "...a much milder and more grounded comedy than the recent 'Bridesmaids,' with a smart if somewhat contrived script co-written by director Kat Coiro and Krysten Ritter, who also stars." |

 "What's that? Oh, yes, there are indeed actors in this movie... It's all exceedingly wry and excessively sarcastic -- and much more exhausting than entertaining." |

 "...the filmmakers have taken the John Hughes blueprint, soaked it with 'Battle: Los Angeles' kerosene and lit a match. It's stupid and horrible, and then, weirdly, almost great." |

 "...the cast is first-rate, with Washington dominating every scene he's in and the supporting veterans turning in fine work, even when they're mouthing international-thriller cliches." |

 "...peppered with uplifting messages about family, friendship and trust, the physical comedy will have the typical 10-year-old cackling with glee and the performances are nicely executed." |

 "...proves a movie can be loud, action-packed and filled with beautiful young women -- and still bore you to tears." |

 "From that grating title to the sometimes overly precious hipster-indie soundtrack to the easy jokes about L.A. and 'red states'... a movie that almost dares you to dislike it." |

 "...a sweet, silly and chaste movie that seemed intended for girls who aren't yet ready for the glistening shirtlessness that is the 'Twilight' series." |

 "...raises some interesting points and has a few good laughs, but it's wildly inconsistent and uneven, and has a serious identity crisis." |

 "Galifianakis gives the biggest performance in the movie but he knows when to pull in the reins, when to let us know where he's at... It's honest, first-rate work." |

 "This is one bloody good B-movie, with Robert De Niro, Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Alba, Steven Seagal and Don Johnson, among others, all taking a supporting back seat to Trejo..." |

 "The opening narration, the bland score, the stock characters, the scenes that feel utterly staged... it's all there, and you've seen it all before." |

 "...starring an attractive young cast of slacker-wisecrackers who battle ennui as they sink into overstuffed furniture, commenting on each other's lives. Then all hell breaks loose." |

 "...a taut thriller... the premise is stretched a bit thin, but 'Frozen' delivers as an entertaining, suspense-filled, sometimes wonderfully grotesque little scarefest." |

 "I go into every screening experience with an open mind. Of course expectations are higher for certain films, but there's always hope. With 'When in Rome,' hope died at about the three-minute mark." |
