Devoid of thrills, and with nothing even vaguely frightening to distract moviegoers, it becomes clear that the story wasn't worth telling in the first place. -

A well-intentioned horror film that is weighted down by stellar cast members who for the most part act as if they don't want to be there. -

At times, "European Gigolo" feels more like an international incident than a movie. -

The Cave is National Geographic mixed with Roger Corman, and by the end you'll probably be wishing you saw "Red Eye" instead. -

The movie plays more like a WB network teen drama than something audiences should be expected to pay to see. -

Less an original product than a shoddy tribute to other mediocre cop movies. -

Like most movies based on games, this film appears to have been quite literally doomed from the start. -

May be a good tactical move for the artist's career, but it's a bad movie. -

The result is an incredibly disorganized movie with a few funny scenes -- most of which are revealed in the commercials. -

Even the element of surprise isn't enough to save this film, which has too many slow parts and features an ending that's extremely tepid by 21st century horror movie standards. -

Peter Hartlaub 25
The movie is overly long and much too intense for small children, yet it's filled with dialogue and plot turns that are too juvenile to thrill adult audiences. -

It's a movie that scrounges so desperately for laughs, it features both a flatulent moose and a flatulent train. -

Peter Hartlaub 25
A film to be enjoyed only by science-fiction movie completists and middle school boys with extreme cases of attention deficit disorder. -

-
Peter Hartlaub 25
It's a well-meaning but ultimately feeble and misguided attempt to say something profound about the aftereffects of the 2001 attacks on New York. -

Although the movie doesn't turn the Zodiac saga into a slasher film, it has the look of a straight-to-video movie, or at best a Project Greenlight production. -

It's a movie packed with so many idiot characters that Rob Schneider is cast as the cool guy -- and sort of pulls it off. -
-
-
Peter Hartlaub 25
The result is a well-intentioned mess -- a dishonest fantasy that begins with promise and gets more frustrating with every scene. -

This is the type of movie that you should be getting for free on television. -

Children will enjoy the physical humor, but discerning adults are advised to pawn their sons and daughters off on some other unsuspecting chaperone -- preferably one who doesn't read movie reviews. -

-
Peter Hartlaub 25
A bunch of gags, most of which you've seen in the trailer, strung together by any means necessary. -

Zoom is a C-list production in every possible way, from the actors and the special effects to the music and the script. Even the product placement is completely third rate. -
-

Crossover has one redeeming quality: a heart that's in the right place. It's a bad movie with a good message -- but does anyone really want to pay $10 for an ABC After School Special version of "He Got Game"? -

This is the animated children's film equivalent of "Another 48 Hours." -
