 "...compelling, complicated story about love and hatred across racial lines delivers an instant classic that's faithful to the novel -- and will also inspire new fans." |

 "Rachel Weisz is tremendously moving.... the overall message inspires: One woman can make a difference when blowing the whistle on corruption." |

 "...bores with endless potty humor.... Plus, it wastes Olivia Wilde, who's too talented for a stupid sex-object role." |

 "It is disturbing yet fascinating to watch a man so flamboyantly evil, he slays his father's best friend at a party in front of a roomful of guests. Devilishly dark!" |

 "...mildly funny... overall, it's a little too much stupid humor -- such as a slapstick climactic bare-knuckle fight -- and not enough crazy laughter." |

 "...quirky, deeply moving... captures the feeling of a relationship in free fall when no one is at fault, yet the mutual attraction has evaporated.... a delicately told, refreshingly original tale." |

 "Timberlake clearly relishes acting against type as a tweedy people-pleaser who famously can't carry a tune.... give Diaz extra credit for mining her bad self and letting down her guard to prove again that broad comedy is what she does best." |
