"'V.I. Warshawski' is zilch in the plot department; most half-hour detective dramas on television have more compelling story lines."  

"As forgettable as a puff off a generic-brand butt: filtered, flavored, and ultimately unsatisfying."

"If witnessing raw talent at work excites you, then see this diamond-in-the-rough"  

"It's farcical, but not broadly so, thought-provoking without being serious. If the narrative structure isn't as seamless as it should be, the movie is nevertheless a pleasant experience... (...) Rating: *** (out of 5)"  

"It's like 'Jackass,' but with a budget and no midgets"

"A preposterously melodramatic paean to gang-member teens in Brooklyn circa 1958"

"Director Miner executes some of the scary scenes competently, but he never takes the material beyond its rather limited parameters"  

"An example of how good intentions don’t necessarily make for a good movie"  

"A gruesome whodunit that's missing more than a few brain cells."  

"Somewhat byzantine in execution and confusing in its logic, the film's second half never achieves the catharsis you'd expect. (...) Rating: ** (out of 5)"  

"May not be best chick flick around, but it's the flick with the best chick by far."  

"Easily the worst film so far this year."  

"It is truly one of the year's dumbest movies."

"What About Bob? is a one-joke movie, but what a funny joke!"  

"The only redeeming thing in Switch is Barkin's vulgar and adept physical performance of a man literally trapped in a woman's body."  

"Like something by Tolstoy or Dostoyevski, but -- of course -- on a much smaller, less ambitious scale, it is a work that weighs on your mind long after you leave it"  

"There's much to enjoy here as long as your expectations aren't too high"

"Although sporadically told in a fashion that's almost episodic, Beautiful Thing has the fullness and depth of the best of love stories."  

"The Ex is more appealing and less dumb than most movies that pass as comedy today"  

"Dying Young ultimately succeeds because it embodies that secret hope that most of us so desperately want to believe in: love can conquer all, even death."
