Almost Dreamlikenew

Populated with a congregation of one-dimensional characters and an amazingly predictable plot, this film fails to shed new light on the complexities of interracial romance.

Brothers Need Another Shotnew

For their first cartoon feature, the Edwards brothers seem too cool to stoop to crafting likable or interesting characters.

Tasteless, Yet Inspirationalnew

Since the romantic subplot and slapstick stumble so often, a film that focused on the complex dynamics among the disabled should have been more special.

Film Feels Like Hippy-Dippy Sci-Fi Throwbacknew

A badly acted, incoherently structured shambles, Aeon Flux wastes the visual cleverness of some of the film's futuristic ideas and Charlize Theron's athletic body language.

Lack of Big Laughs and True Grit Put Film on Thin Icenew

The slick adaptation of Scott Phillips' well-received noir novel feels more like a vehicle for 61-year-old director and his screenwriters to work out their macho midlife crises.

Film Would be Better Named Sucky Cluckynew

Chicken Little hypocritically mocks movie cliches at the beginning, then wallows in sentiment like a pig in slop.

Sequel Taints Your Memory of First Filmnew

Despite reuniting Antonio Banderas, Catherine Zeta-Jones and director Martin Campbell, The Legend of Zorro proves so sloppy, silly and over-acted that the signature "Z" should stand for "Zero."

Animation Film Tweaks Horror Clichesnew

If not as clever as you'd hope, Wallace & Gromit: Curse of the Were-Rabbit amusingly tweaks horror flick clichés while constructing some brilliant slapstick set pieces.

Sci-Fi Nail-Biternew

Serenity remains a four-star experience for anyone familiar with "Firefly," and the sheer novelty of seeing a space opera with smart dialogue and credible characters will leave audiences floating on air.

Undead Romantic Comedynew

The huggable stars and unusual plot twist deserve more than the thin script and flat jokes: The angels mostly frown on Just Like Heaven.

Film Has Been in Time Warp Itselfnew

It's hard to hate a film with red-faced dinosaur baboons, but to rescue A Sound of Thunder, we'd need to go back in time and give the director some special effects that don't suck.

Movie Awkwardly Blends Elements of Successful Flicksnew

Stealth seems like the bastard child of a formula-centric marketing department, not the product of a director or screenwriter.

Film Proves to be Uneven Rompnew

Despite loads of snappy banter provided by Wilson and Vaughn and lots of potentially slapstick situations, Wedding Crashers proves to be an uneven romp. The movie oversaturates some scenes with solid laughs and squanders other opportunities.
