Gator never emerges as anything but a blatant and outspoken -- and virulently brutal -- jerk. -
-
-
Ann Hornaday 30
It winds up being tuneless, unfunny and, despite its strenuous efforts, not terribly sexy. -

Ann Hornaday 30
At once listless and overheated, giddy and utterly zipless, the current incarnation lacks not just the savoir-faire of its stylish predecessor but also the sex appeal. -

Ann Hornaday 30
It's piddling -- a hangdog little comedy with not enough laughs...its spirit rattles around inside it like a marble in an oil drum. -

Ann Hornaday 30
It's a remarkable, if appalling, spectacle of self-abasement. But of course, that's Sandler's specialty. -
-
-
Ann Hornaday 30
Has the tired, over-baked feeling of a script that never quite worked but was tinkered with until every ounce of spontaneity or life was hammered out of it. -

-
Ann Hornaday 30
A stunningly inert piece of cinema, a movie that basically boils down to serial shots of people talking to each other. -
-
-
Ann Hornaday 30
Maybe the easiest thing would be to skip the movie altogether. Godard has created such a hermetic, uncompromising world that only the hardiest cinematic spelunkers are likely to appreciate its depths. -

Ann Hornaday 30
Not good enough to qualify as classic Gothic horror, not nearly fun enough to qualify as great B-movie camp. -
-
-
Ann Hornaday 30
Another soundtrack-driven, disposable, not entirely objectionable teen movie. -
-

-
Ann Hornaday 30
Unrelentingly grim, unremittingly gross and unforgivably unattractive, 28 Days Later is an orgy of troubling images and bestial sound effects. -
-
-
Ann Hornaday 30
Sadly, the filmmakers haven't given viewers enough context or information about their protagonist to know whether he's utterly free or utterly unmoored -– or to care very much either way. -

Ann Hornaday 30
Two-hour exercise in chaotic action and coarse, annoyingly coy sexuality. -

Ann Hornaday 30
In a summer of surprisingly self-serious comic book movies" Lara Croft "stands out as being particularly humorless. -
-
-
Ann Hornaday 30
Plays less like a novel re-imagining of a classic if campy narrative than a drearily self-conscious exercise in Know Your Film References. -

Ann Hornaday 30
Sylvia plays it safe, and in doing so it becomes little more than just another domestic melodrama devoid of life and, of all things, poetry. -
-
-
Ann Hornaday 30
An unsurprising, undistinguished piece of post-summer, pre-holiday detritus. -
-
-
Ann Hornaday 30
One part historical drama and one part futuristic adventure, Timeline resembles a "Star Trek" episode by way of "Scooby-Doo." -
-

-
Ann Hornaday 30
Never gels into the smart, tightly orchestrated cat-and-mouse game that it promises to be. -
-
-
Ann Hornaday 30
Viewers anticipating side-splitting guffaws will be disappointed: Stuck on You is a strangely lackluster, flaccid string of fitfully humorous episodes. -
-
-
Ann Hornaday 30
An endless, virtually laugh-free pastiche of Aaron Sorkin by way of Aaron Spelling, Chasing Liberty features Mandy Moore trying so strenuously to be the next America's Sweetheart that she almost pops a vein. -
-
-
Ann Hornaday 30
The loudest, trashiest, stupidest, cheesiest celebration of ritualized male aggression of 2004. -
-
-
Ann Hornaday 30
A boilerplate melodrama whose good guys and bad guys are so baldly drawn they could have been conceived by Friz Freleng. -
-
-
Ann Hornaday 30
A movie marred by a flaccid script, listless pacing, a plethora of cutesy-poo gags and Ray Romano. -
