    • Metascore: 49
    • Ann Hornaday 38
    At some point the foul language, lascivious sight gags, references to sex toys, violence against animals and cruelty toward children simply ceases to be funny.

    • Ann Hornaday 38

    Busy, over-stylized mess of a movie.
    • Metascore: 25
    • Ann Hornaday 38
    Of Madonna's considerable talents, making the camera love her isn't one: The screen seems to go dead every time she's on it.
    • Metascore: 63
    • Ann Hornaday 38
    Overblown sanctimony and sentimentalism as corny as the Fourth of July.
    • Metascore: 40
    • Ann Hornaday 38
    Giamatti provides those small moments of triumph that Duets pretends to celebrate but instead stifles with its sense of superiority.
    • Metascore: 42
    • Ann Hornaday 33
    The Loss of Sexual Innocence is belabored, pretentious and often willfully opaque. [25 Jun 1999]

    It's as if the book itself has been locked up and institutionalized, forced to conform to a system that all but obliterates its own unique personality.
    • Metascore: 35
    • Ann Hornaday 25
    A mean-hearted, ham-handed and gratuitous effort to exploit it's teenage audience's conviction that, underneath it all, their teachers really. do hate them.
    • Metascore: 23
    • Ann Hornaday 25
    Lowbrow humor is one thing...but Love Stinks sinks the bar beyond comprehension.

    • Metascore: 49
    • Ann Hornaday 25
    Catherine Breillat's pretentious, meandering, self-indulgent portrait of a libidinously deprived young woman is nothing more than pornography tricked out as feminist parable.
    • Metascore: 43
    • Ann Hornaday 25
    This dialogue isn't helped by two actors who look terrific but can barely choke out a word that sounds remotely authentic or spontaneous.
    • Metascore: 27
    • Ann Hornaday 25
