"The good news is that Christopher Walken, resplendent in purple silk, isn't the film's sole redeeming element."

"Finally, a postfeminist multicultural musical extravaganza for 8-year-old girls"

U"rgent investigative report and unforgettable drama, Virunga is a work of heart-wrenching tenderness and heart-stopping suspense."  

"A documentary whose visual magnificence is more than matched by unforgettable characters and political urgency."  

"Cameron Crowe's feature documentary is among his most effective and deeply felt work."  

"A fascinating glimpse of kids' role in the evangelical movement's political agenda."

"With an immediacy and intimacy that news reports can't provide, this deeply affecting documentary explores the pedophile crisis that has shaken the edifice of the Catholic Church."

"A rare creature, not only for the handmade look and subtlety of its computer-generated imagery but also for its irony-free embrace of once-upon-a-time storytelling."  

"Digging beneath the headlines, which turned out to involve one of the most horrific examples of Munchausen syndrome by proxy ever documented, Carr's film poses as many provocative questions as it answers."  

"There's the unshakable sense that Rugrats Go Wild is trying too hard to please kids and adults and as a result falls somewhat short for both sets of viewers."

"Among the willing cast, only Jacinda Barrett and topliners Josh Lucas, Kurt Russell and Richard Dreyfuss manage, just barely, to suggest a third dimension to the script's cursory character sketches"

"Spends too much time on unconvincing romantic-comedy contrivances to be consistently engaging."

"Starts out as an exuberant romp but soon gets trapped in a holding pattern of dumb sex and toilet jokes."

"The film is, above all, a moving portrait of hurting souls, brought to life in compelling performances."

"Furiously crossing and double-crossing, the two main story lines never quite fuse or comment on each other."
