Between bad hair and tonal irregularity, the movie doesn't give you much to like. -

Now and then sputters to comic life but more usually wheezes along. -

It orders you to love it. It demands love, which is the best way not to get it. -

The baseball half of the story just slightly works. ... Nothing in [the other] half of the film works. -

It's zany. Actually, it's so zany it's almost creepy. -

It just never began to work for me, and the sub story behind the ghost story is far more interesting than the ghost story in front of the sub story. -

Crazy? Crazy is too mild a word by far to describe the twisted worm at play inside the skull of the Canadian director David Cronenberg -- And that craziness is given full vent in the vomitorium called eXistenZ. -

Fast and furious, shallow, empty, casually racist, merry, jaunty, silly and utterly weightless. -

It's too bloody to be funny and too silly to be dramatic and too self-indulgent to be anything other than what it is, one more bad movie. -

It's just silly, loud and goofy. The dragon needed a bigger part and the two stars smaller ones. -

There's nothing wrong with Uptown Girls that not seeing it won't fix. -

In the end, Gerry is beyond the simple question of pleasure. Seeing it may be no fun at all, but then discomfort is part of the price one pays in learning. -

Thankfully, after its terrific start, Don't Say a Word transmogrifies so totally into Hollywood hooey that it's actually a relief. I'd hate to see a disturbance in the karmic perfection of Douglas's pitch-pure mediocrity. -

Duvall is a great actor in the homestretch of a great career; it's hard to hold this trifle against him, and certainly nobody will. -

In the end, Unfaithful leaves you dispirited and grumpy: All that money spent, all that talent wasted, all that time gone forever, and for what? It's an ill movie that bloweth no man to good. -

Big, dull and empty -- nobody associated with this production appears to have thought hard about storytelling. -

Stuck in that no man's land between comedy and banal movie mob action, and it delivers on neither of these impulses with any force. -

The movie is so disturbing that it seems nearly blasphemous. I wouldn't wish it on an anthrax spore. After all, anthrax has feelings, too. -
