Critic: Was there too many poo jokes? 9 y.o.: Mmmm...no.

The joke of cute animals hacking into mainframes and dodging explosions may not be enough to sustain a movie.

There's not much point to a meta-film once the actual film has ceased to grip.

Self-aware stupidity does not equal wit.

How could you dislike a film that takes itself so lightly?

It's like a third-rate Austin Powers picture cut to the whacking, attention-deficit-disorder tempo of Moulin Rouge.

The cowboys: great. The aliens: not so much. There's fun to be had here, but it falls way short of the pulp classic it could have been.

I can't think of another premise this year that promised so many schlocky high concept thrills but delivered so little.

A cleverly planned switcheroo story in which the twist at the end is the knife in the back.

Matchstick Men never really casts off its cloak of artificiality and calculation; its pleasures are minor, however distracting they may be.

In its final lap The Winning Season collapses into a sentimental farce that even Mr. Rockwell, now playing the clown, cannot redeem from cringe-inducing hokum.

Rockwell does a typically fine job -- he's funny, touching and appalling -- as an alcoholic mess of a former high school basketball coach who's been reduced to washing dishes in a restaurant.

66 year-old Robert De Niro accomplishes what may be his bravest role of the last two decades by simply choosing to play a real old man in Kirk Jones Everybodys Fine.

A well-assembled sci-fi thriller.

Runs out of ideas after 20 minutes.

An intriguing, bizarre and challenging film that invites us into a world filled with larger-than-life characters and strange occurrences.

Brimming with slightly self-conscious directorial panache, the movie zips between nearly three decades, fantasy and reality without ever really deciding how seriously it wants to take itself.
