Devoid of life, intelligence, humor, and anything else that could entertain even the most undemanding viewer, this film is a perfect example of something that should have been shipped to landfills, not multiplexes. -

The most depressing thing about this movie is not that it's such a complete waste of time, but that there are people in Hollywood who think this kind of thing is what American movie-goers are interested in seeing. -

It's a wretched attempt at entertainment, ephemerally redeemed only by the appearance of several attractive girls. -

Disney has struck once again, taking a passably entertaining cartoon and turning it into a motion picture so lifeless that it's almost unwatchable. -

Too much of Jason X plays it straight, and that means boredom. Murder and mayhem of this sort quickly becomes monotonous. -

If ever a romantic comedy is going to fail at the box office, this is it. The movie isn't a guy's thing, a girl's thing, or anybody else's thing. -

A lame collection of dumber-than-dumb gags, the quality of Big Fat Liar is on par with that of the worst television sit-com gorged to four times its normal size. -

Fox should be paying potential viewers not to walk out of this turkey. The plot has all the depth and originality of a video game without the fun of the interactivity. -

James Berardinelli 25
There's no evidence of craftsmanship or energy. Everything, from the plot to the execution, is plodding and obligatory. -

Defined by three characteristics. It is as stupid as a decapitated worm. It is as irritating as a mosquito buzzing around one's head. And it is as funny as "Schindler's List." -

If you've gone to Kung Pow for the plot, you have made a mistake. Come to think of it, if you have gone for the comedy, you've also made a mistake. In fact, if you've gone at all, you've made a mistake. -

It is a cinematic abomination -- a source of embarrassment for everyone involved. -

The worst action movie of the summer. I liked Bad Boys II a little less, but making the comparison is like distinguishing between a cow turd and a horse turd. And that pretty much sums it up nicely. -

If there's one thing this motion picture proves, it's that "The Naked Gun 33 1/3" wasn't the final insult from a founding ZAZ (Zucker/Abrams/Zucker) member; this is. -

The result is an atrociously unfunny, unromantic, and unpleasant product. -

It boggles the mind to consider that the fertile writing team of Alec Berg, David Mandel, and Jeff Schaffer, all of whom spent time scripting episodes of "Seinfeld," could turn out something as abysmally unfunny as Eurotrip. -

If there's a blessing, it's that the sequel isn't appreciably worse than the original - but that's slim praise considering how bad the first one was. -

It's remarkably appropriate that Envy is about turds, because that's what the movie is. -

James Berardinelli 25
A bunch of IQ-challenged characters traipsing through a laughably bad scenario brought to life using silly dialogue, banal direction, and questionable special effects. -

This a neutered Garfield, one part tomcat and three parts pussy, recognizable only by his orange coat and love of lasagna. This feline's got a serious case of mange. -

A catastrophe. This motion picture is an embarrassment to all involved. -

Tracey Ullman is a bright spot in an otherwise sordid, murky production. -

White Noise has nothing. You'll have a better time staying home, tuning your TV to a station that doesn't carry a local signal, and staring. -

It is a ghastly experience, and I left the theater feeling as if I had waded neck-deep through a stream of raw sewage. -

James Berardinelli 25
The element of high camp that makes for enjoyable "good trash" isn't present. -

This is as witless as movies come -- an unamusing, moronic blend of horrible acting and inept screenwriting. -
