(1 - 17) of 17 OFCS Rating: 6% Rotten Page   1   D+ "The subject of immigration is much too substantial to be treated as kitten play, leaving such thespian promise out to rot with material that suggests great intellectual stimulation, but only delivers yawns."   DVDTalk.com   Brian Orndorf D+ "A sub-par knockoff of Paul Haggis' "Crash," writer/ director Wayne Kramer's L.A.-based dramatic tapestry is a threadbare yawner."   ColeSmithey.com   Cole Smithey 48/100 "Crossing Over has been surrounded by controversy ever since it wrapped up shooting way back in 2007..."   AskMen.com   David Nusair 1/4 "The only debate that Crossing Over will inspire is whether or not it's supreme awfulness is enough to qualify it for so-bad-its-good status."   eFilmCritic.com   Erik Childress C- "The lack of subtlety...makes Crossing Over little more than an overwrought harangue."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 2/5 "A well-intentioned drama about complicated immigration issues that falters thanks to a wobbly screenplay."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat 2.5/4 "Crossing Over may hold some appeal for those who loved Crash, but this is a diluted cousin to a film that was overrated in the first place."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2/5 "Intense immigration drama doesn't live up to its intentions."   Common Sense Media   James Rocchi "Parental Content Review"   Screen It!   Jim Judy 1/5 "San Crash (2005) grammeno ap' to tmima peri metanaston toy amerikanikoy Ypoyrgeioy Eksoterikon"   Movies for the Masses   Joseph Proimakis 2.5/4 "The cast does uniformly fine work, but they and the film as a whole are hampered by Kramer's overreaching, overstuffed script."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina C "A well-intentioned but ham-handed exploration of U.S. immigration policies, this movie's message is undermined by its cardboard characters and clunky script."   Beliefnet   Nell Minow 1/4 "A multi-strand saga whose contrived, inane narrative threads have been stitched together with Frankenstein ungainliness."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 1/5 "A sanctimonious sack of stupid that wants to do for the subject of immigration reform what "Crash" did for the subject of racism in America and tragically does just that."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 3/5 "The film is well-made and benefits from a very strong cast, but it's both overly worthy and rather pushy about its perspective."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline C- "... feels an awful lot like the multicultural Crash, complete with its crisscrossing stories, heavy ironies and even heavier moralizing."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker 4/10 "In this contrived illegal-immigration drama, the stereotypical characters and structured story lines keep crossing and bumping into each other."   SSG Syndicate   Susan Granger  (1 - 17) of 17 OFCS Rating: 6% Rotten Page   1
