    The stars have zero chemistry and the movie is none too thrilling.

    The biggest thing wrong with this mess is its whole attitude. The film tries to condemn all these shocking things, but if you're not shocked, just wait a couple of minutes and they'll try again.

    Oh, boy. This is not unlike watching one of the movies Jerry Lewis made after that concentration camp/clown epic nearly destroyed his career and his mind.

    This movie wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. It's still not that good though.

    It's charmingly bad and an excellent date film.
    • Metascore: 52

    BRILLIANT and WITTY. Those are two words that will not be used to described this film.
    • Metascore: 39

    I completely dreaded sitting through this movie...Two-hour purgatory.

    The audience will respond better to ENTERTAINMENT than a club to the head.

    If you love KISS, you'll probably see this movie anyway. If you don't, there's no point.

    I'm sure that an interesting film could easily be made about girl surfers, this just ain't it.

    In order to spare you the trauma of this cinematrocity, I'll go ahead and tell you how the film turns out. Who killed the General's Daughter? The filmmakers did.

    Aside from all the known material on public record the filmmakers chose not to use, Howard isn't even capable of believably bringing this off.

    If you've got the opportunity to have someone as talented and game for anything as Swinton, you really owe it to her to give her a real movie to be in.
    • Metascore: 21

    It lacks humor. Unlike "Scream", this film is more of a horror-drama, with everybody taking themselves way too seriously.
    • Metascore: 36
    • Ron Wells 30
    Not since "Peacemaker" have we witnessed such a battle of wits.
    • Metascore: 37
    • Ron Wells 30
    Remember when John Hughes made small, original, oh say, GOOD movies?
    • Metascore: 44
    • Ron Wells 20
    The best thing about a movie like this is I never have to see it again.
    • Metascore: 28

    Is this what Sean Penn has come to in his 40s? He hasn't appeared this retarded since he was married to Madonna.
    • Metascore: 16

    The title refers to your expected condition when you see this movie. Oh well. It'll be HUGE on video.

    I'm going to beat my head into a wall until I relieve myself of the memory of this film that was, well, retarded.
    • Metascore: 41
    • Ron Wells 20
    I can't really remember the last time I saw a movie with this much biting satire and brilliance that was utterly excruciating half the time.

    A stupid summer movie.
    • Metascore: 41
    • Ron Wells 20
    Holy Man is just a dumb romantic comedy passing itself off as something else.
    • Metascore: 38
    • Ron Wells 10
    Aside from the pesky problems of tone and lazy writing, the whole move is a little choppy.

    This masterpiece started out at around three stars, but after the credits, it just got sillier and more lurid.
