B-
     (2003)      "If this movie was going to be sold in a grocery store, it would be in a plain white box with black letters that say, "GENERIC SUMMER EXPLOSION MOVIE."" [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
4/5
     (2002)      "It is great fun to see Pacino do farce and the movie has some deliciously sharp satire." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
C+
     (2005)      "The characters are too thin, the violence too careless, the suspension of disbelief required too strenuous, the treatment of non-whites too stereotyped." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
3/5
     (2002)      "Bah humbug." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
C-
     (2006)      "It's all as genuine as tinsel and as stale as last year's candy cane, but there are a few very mild pleasures, including Alan Arkin and Ann-Margret as Scott's in-laws and a loony dance number with Short backed by elves." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
2/5
     (2001)      "This movie requires suspension of disbelief that is close to complete abandonment of any sense of reality." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B+
     (2004)      "The script teeters into predictability at times but the outstanding young cast is wonderfully vibrant." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
3/5
     (2001)      "As dumb comedies go, it is one of the best because it stars four of the most able comic actors around." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
2/5
     (2001)      "Audiences who have been wondering when we were going to get a great comedy about incest can keep wondering." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
2/5
     (2001)      "What we have is a lot of fake and lazy attempts at humor." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
C -
     (2003)      "But this is a movie that will primarily appeal to those who are young enough to get a kick out of the inherent subversiveness of any satire aimed at popular media, without caring too much whether any of the targets are actually hit." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
C
     (2006)      "Better at set-up than delivery, this is an underwritten movie with a lot of lags between laughs." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B+
     (2003)      "If there was ever someone born to portray the true spirit of rock and roll, it is Jack Black. In this movie, that is what they needed, and that is just what he does." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
C+
     (2004)      "Some pleasantly silly scares but the characters are, well, cartoonish, and any charm in seeing them on the big screen wore off ten minutes into the first one." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
C+
     (2004)      "The characters are, well, cartoonish, and any charm in seeing them played by actors on the big screen wore off ten minutes into the first one." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
3/5
     (2002)      "Somewhere between a live action cartoon that is much too scary for most children and a Saturday Night Live sketch that goes on too long for most teens." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
C
     (2006)      "Like the character he plays, Allen's shtick has worn out its welcome." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
3/5
     (2001)      "The story might not have much that's new, but it is still fun to see a thief look at an intimidating new safe utterly undaunted." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
3/5
     (2002)      "...a three-act wrestling match with computer graphics." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B+
     (2003)      "Brings every underdog theme out of the stable, making a movie with familiar themes seem as handsome as a thoroughbred, albeit one that has trouble in the homestretch." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B
     (2003)      "Dvuall and Caine have such easy charm that they make this movie work, though it sags when anyone else is on screen." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies

B
     (2008)      "Lovingly made, the film is beautifully performed, especially by Queen Latifah and Alicia Keys." [movie review]      Beliefnet   
  
C
     (2004)      "There are a couple of tingly reveals and creepy fake-outs, but it's just too familiar. John Shooter tells Morty that his story needs a better ending. So does this movie. " [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
2/5
     (2001)      "Too dumb for anyone over 8 and too vulgar for anyone under 12." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
C
     (2007)      "The Signs may be invisible to everyone but The Seeker, but the plot developments will be obvious to everyone after the first 20 minutes." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
C-
     (2008)      ""Semi-Pro" is not even semi-funny." [movie review]      Beliefnet   
  
B
     (2006)      "The characters are underwritten but the stars' natural charisma holds our attention and keeps us on their side, the action scenes are crisply filmed, and the location shots provide an authentic feel." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B+
     (2005)      "A likeable cast with crackling chemistry, plus genre mash-ups, tough/clever wisecracks, and expert seasoning of action with humor and humor with action." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B+
     (2009)      "Once again, meticulous and imaginative production design and a level of opacity far beyond most mainstream releases is often confused with profundity." [movie review]      Beliefnet   
  
5/5
     (1954)      Click here to see the review! [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
C
     (2008)      "Its decision to portray behavior that is at best morally compromised as an idealized sacrifice is a poor choice as an ethical matter and as a narrative matter." [movie review]      Beliefnet   
  
B+
     (2008)      "It's like playing Barbies for grown-ups." [movie review]      Beliefnet   
  
C
     (2000)      "It makes some good points, but ultimately just stops rather than ends." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies

B-
     (2006)      " The lab experiments include CGI genetic cross-breeds like a dog-frog combo that exemplify this movie's own uneasy mixture of slapstick and sentiment." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B+
     (2004)      "The movie not only shows you the longing felt by its characters, it draws you in to sharing those feelings with them. You want them to find their steps and rhythm. " [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
3/5
     (2001)      "One problem with the movie is that instead of the characters themselves being funny, the jokes in the movie happen around them." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B-
     (2003)      "A cheerfully anachronistic buddy/action/comedy movie filled with classic pop standards, impossibly agile fight scenes, offbeat surfer cowboy comments, and fish out of water humor." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
3/5
     (2000)      "Jackie Chan has his best American movie role so far as Chon Wang." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B+
     (2002)      "A very traditional underdog sports team story told in a delightfully untraditional style, with whimsy, fantasy, and heart." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B+
     (2004)      "The plot is nothing special, but the visuals are, with eye-popping color and wonderfully expressive fish faces, hilariously funny and surprisingly touching." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B+
     (2003)      "Screenwriter/director Billy Ray manages to keep us unsettled by not always letting us know what is real and what is imagined by Glass." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B-
     (2004)      "The shards of this film have more audacity and intelligence than most of what is out there and its failures are more interesting to ponder than most films' successes. " [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
2/5
     (1998)      "The result here is uneven." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B+
     (2006)      "The opening credit sequence, a soccer game on the beach, sets a bright and brashly kinetic tone that keeps things bouncy as all of the characters and plot points come together for a happily ever after ending." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies

B+
     (2007)      "Writer-director Michael Davis has stripped the action movie down to its essence in a mind-blowing mash-up fueled with testosterone, adrenaline, and weapons-grade explosives." [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   
  
B-
     (2007)      "He has to walk toward us in slo-mo? And the bad guys have to cackle over their total domination and corruption? And there have to be not one, not two, but three explaining villains?" [movie review]      The Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies
