"...the most incomprehensible movie of the millennium.... the noise level reminds me of Canal Street in Chinatown on a Sunday afternoon." |

"...billed as a documentary but plays like a paid ad.... Stanislaw Burzynski, a Polish-born doctor, claims to cure brain cancer with animal urine.... dull, dull, dull, even for an infomercial." |

"...nearly unwatchable by jumping back and forth in time, using screens within screens and bouncing between color and black-and-white. These stylish quirks serve only to diminish what little momentum there is." |

"Completely lacking in imagination and purpose, this vanity project might suffice as a home movie, but it's hardly worth the expense and bother of seeing it in a theater." |

"...a chaotic mess.... It starts out promisingly enough as one of those genteel British comedies seen on PBS, but quickly loses its way... any viewer who hasn't been tied to his or her seat will have fled the theater." |

"The toilet caper is the lowest point of a movie with many low points, including bad acting and a generic script.... You can see junk like this any night on cable TV, so why waste time and money going out?" |

"The storyless movie is divided roughly into two parts. The first is in 'Girls Gone Wild' mode, only raunchier and more disturbing.... But wait. Without warning, the revelers morph into US troops abusing Iraqi civilians in an Abu Ghraib setting." |

"If there's a fresh idea in 'When Harry Tries To Marry,' I couldn't find it. So clichéd that it took me just 15 minutes to figure out where the story was headed.... no more than a TV sitcom minus the laugh track." |
