bean drops the ball too many times ... hoping the nifty premise will create enough interest to make up for an unfocused screenplay .
|
negative
|
so much about the film is loopy and ludicrous ... that it could have been a hoot in a bad-movie way if the laborious pacing and endless exposition had been tightened .
|
negative
|
boyd 's screenplay -lrb- co-written with guardian hack nick davies -rrb- has a florid turn of phrase that owes more to guy ritchie than the bard of avon .

violent , vulgar and forgettably entertaining .

a moving picture that does not move .

|
the movie does such an excellent job of critiquing itself at every faltering half-step of its development that criticizing feels more like commiserating .

the characters seem one-dimensional , and the film is superficial and will probably be of interest primarily to its target audience .

sandra bullock , despite downplaying her good looks , carries a little too much ai n't - she-cute baggage into her lead role as a troubled and determined homicide cop to quite pull off the heavy stuff .
|

|
snoots will no doubt rally to its cause , trotting out threadbare standbys like ` masterpiece ' and ` triumph ' and all that malarkey , but rarely does an established filmmaker so ardently waste viewers ' time with a gobbler like this .

it never rises to its clever what-if concept .

|
although it tries to be much more , it 's really just another major league .

debut effort by `` project greenlight '' winner is sappy and amateurish .

this is a movie where the most notable observation is how long you 've been sitting still .
|
negative
|
painfully padded .
|
negative
|
if damon and affleck attempt another project greenlight , next time out they might try paying less attention to the miniseries and more attention to the film it is about .
|
negative
|
a cautionary tale about the folly of superficiality that is itself endlessly superficial .

-lrb- janey -rrb- forgets about her other obligations , leading to a tragedy which is somehow guessable from the first few minutes , maybe because it echoes the by now intolerable morbidity of so many recent movies .

to some eyes this will seem like a recycling of clichés , an assassin 's greatest hits .
|
negative
|
as is often the case with ambitious , eager first-time filmmakers , mr. murray , a prolific director of music videos , stuffs his debut with more plot than it can comfortably hold .

|
uzumaki 's interesting social parallel and defiant aesthetic seems a prostituted muse ...

it is most of the things costner movies are known for ; it 's sanctimonious , self-righteous and so eager to earn our love that you want to slap it .

its screenplay serves as auto-critique , and its clumsiness as its own most damning censure .
|
negative
|
there 's a delightfully quirky movie to be made from curling , but brooms is n't it .

the film lapses too often into sugary sentiment and withholds delivery on the pell-mell pyrotechnics its punchy style promises .

return to never land is much more p.c. than the original version -lrb- no more racist portraits of indians , for instance -rrb- , but the excitement is missing .
|
negative
|
the characters , cast in impossibly contrived situations , are totally estranged from reality .
|
negative
|
eight legged freaks falls flat as a spoof .
|
negative

the film , like jimmy 's routines , could use a few good laughs .

the premise of `` abandon '' holds promise , ... but its delivery is a complete mess .

its plot and animation offer daytime tv serviceability , but little more .

a fifty car pileup of cliches .

and it 's not that funny -- which is just generally insulting .
|
very negative

contrived , maudlin and cliche-ridden ... if this sappy script was the best the contest received , those rejected must have been astronomically bad .

black-and-white and unrealistic .

stealing harvard will dip into your wallet , swipe 90 minutes of your time , and offer you precisely this in recompense : a few early laughs scattered around a plot as thin as it is repetitious .
