60Folks, I think I'm speaking for all of us when I say this is pretty darn fine American entertainment
-
50When Serving Sara reaches beyond its grasp and dreams big, Perry and Hurley float the movie on aplomb and wit. When the film gears down for slower-paced set pieces and disposable villains, its stars find themselves knee-deep in a giant comedy cow pie.
-
50Perry isn't the only thing wrong with Serving Sara, but he's the thing that takes a pleasantly mediocre movie and turns it into an unpleasantly mediocre one.
-
42For all the hot air expended, this film ends up all smoke and no heat.
-
38Even dumber than Perry's "Three to Tango," this latest sitcommy exercise is sporadically funny in spite of itself -- and not quite as dreadful as you would suspect.
-
38Romantic screwball comedies are supposed to be at least a little romantic, but there's no chemistry between Perry and Hurley.
-
38Serving Sara, which often feels more like serving time, is one of those tortured Hollywood romantic comedies that starts with a passable premise and turns into an inventory of flat gags and weak lines set against a travelogue backdrop.
-
33The few jaunty, ''Friends''-inflected lines Perry does get off are lost among the cow pies.
-
30Little more than a mall movie designed to kill time.
-
25Perry and Hurley don't have much chemistry, and the story is so dumb you might want to sue it for stupidity.
-
25Downright terrible: impossible to enjoy, impossible to believe.
-
25Serving Sara is D.O.A., with nary a laugh to be found.
-
25How inept is Serving Sara? It makes even Elizabeth Hurley seem graceless and ugly.
-
25Defined 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."
-
25This movie doesn't play; it just lies there, waiting to be kicked around by anyone unfortunate enough to have shelled out good money to see it.
-
25Let me say, in my desire always to be positive, that Serving Sara is the funniest film I know where a man sticks his arm up a bull's rectum to massage its prostate.
-
25A lazy, trite comedy that's made by people who don't care either.
-
20Surprisingly, Hurley comes off better than either of her demonstrably more versatile co-stars; she's not much of an actress, but she has an engagingly saucy swagger and her open-mouthed expression of outraged disbelief is priceless.
-
20Long before Serving Sara drags its butt to the finish line, you wish you were watching a different race.
-
20With the dog days of August upon us, think of this dog of a movie as the cinematic equivalent of high humidity.
-
10All Serving Sara can offer is Perry with his arm shoulder-deep up a longhorn steer's backside, a wasted supporting cast that includes Vincent Pastore and Cedric the Entertainer, and a huge, comedian-shaped hole where Hurley's performance should be.
-
10Misbegotten late-summer special.
-
10Crushingly unfunny.
-
10Numbingly feeble -- The dialogue is witless, the situations are lame, the humor juvenile and the chemistry between the stars nonexistent.
-
0It's the kind of bad movie that gives bad movies a bad name.
-
0As a child, I thought pure hell meant eternal agony in the flames of Satan. Now I know it's looking down at your watch and realizing Serving Sara isn't even halfway through.
