Better than the Transformers trilogy in the same way that having a cold is better than having the flu; thoughtlessly inundated with action and effects, and generally free from any semblance of plot, character development, or theme.

Another unfortunate example of what happens when real self-help book advice is applied to the plot of a romantic comedy, with no truth to any of the characters - they’re more like byproducts from a particularly bad sitcom pilot.

a taut, suspenseful, intelligently structured thriller that pays homage to con movies without having to spoof them; represents a dying breed of crime thriller in which character and plot take precedence over action and special effects.

A bright, funny, hopelessly endearing film that benefits greatly from the sheer likeability of its actors; an exuberantly charming comedy, but also a surprisingly compelling depiction of a world in transition.

A triumph of craft, not so much in regards to flashy special effects but more so along the lines of camera tricks, set design, and avant-garde approaches to editing.

An intelligent examination of political corruption and the failings of fundamentalist human behavior that's also a searing political and social satire that’s simultaneously hilarious and shockingly audacious.

Simultaneously an homage to and a parody of the original soap opera. In much the same way as Burton’s own Beetlejuice, its a delicate balancing act between comedy and horror. Just plain fun.

Badly structured with poorly developed characters; what should have been a poignant and insightful generational story has been reduced to an implausible and inconsistent mess.

A profoundly wrongheaded political and social satire; offers a solution so venomous and morally reprehensible that it surpasses mere parody and becomes a full-blown case of cinematic intolerance.

Well cast, decently acted, and well intentioned that's pleasant and uplifting; at best, one can say that this movie is edible – harmless enough but lacking texture and flavor.
