 "When a group of attractive, generally likable movie stars get together for a mildly funny, low-stakes movie about nothing much, can you really begrudge them for it?" |

 "...the kind of movie you absolutely must see once and then, battered and broken by enduring Ralston's gruesome predicament with him, you'll never want to see again." |

Excellent |
 "...isn't a film for the weak-stomached nor the faint of heart, but it is a whole lot more than just carnage. The Samurai wouldn't have it any other way and neither would I." |

Poor |
 "This film argues the President of the United States is intentionally making decisions against America's best interests.... Biased is okay. Poorly executed is not." |

 "...with exactly as little imagination as you think.... But for a movie this cynical to be remotely worth watching is a pretty impressive credit to the performers..." |

 "Unpredictable and very silly but with real emotional stakes... makes up for a shaggy script with a wily, endearing energy that feels like anything but a tired retread." |

Excellent |
 "...knows exactly how to go over the top and then quit while it's still soaring.... willfully dumb with a clever streak that keeps it afloat just long enough." |

 "...very conventional.... Occasionally, it even feels a little sappy and rushed, but its heart is in the right place and it never shies away from the truth." |

Outstanding |
 "...isn't just a phenomenal movie, but one that speaks to the truth of the human condition.... Every moment is set firmly in reality." |

 "...relies far too much on telling us about these characters -- especially Jung's spirituality -- than digging into their psyches..." |

 "Silly, incoherent and cartoonish to a fault... foolishly one-ups the escalating chaos and wonton carnage of Len Wiseman's 'Live Free or Die Hard.' " |

Weak |
 "Aside from a handful of raunchy jokes and a lot of nudity, the movie plays it too safe... it had the cast and the premise to do a lot more." |

Moderate |
 "...unapologetically crass.... doesn't hold back, and given all the blandly offensive spoof films we've seen over the last decade, that's actually refreshing." |
| 14. |
|
03/12/12 |
Poor |
 "The film has half of a heart, which is about the worst percentage possible for a comedy.... It's ping pong at its finest and filmmaking at its most confounding." |

 " 'Harold & Kumar's' heart is in the right place. Now if only they'd found a way, as they did with the previous films, to also make it funny." |

Poor |
 "...a star vehicle without a star to guide it, a by-the-numbers action plot that's supposed to allow Taylor Lautner to show us what he can do." |

 "Only one country could have created 'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter,' and dammit, that's a country I'm proud to be part of. USA! USA!" |

 "...the closest you can come to experiencing a military mission from the perspective of a Navy SEAL without actually enlisting." |

Very Good |
 "...amiable and genuinely enjoyable... careens sometimes wildly from broad humor to rougher-edged realism, but it's always got a rock-solid core to return to..." |

Very Good |
 "...presents a worthwhile and engaging portrait of life in the wild.... Even with its disjointed narrative, 'African Cats' is still edge of your seat excitement." |
