coarse , cliched and clunky , this trifling romantic comedy in which opposites attract for no better reason than that the screenplay demands it squanders the charms of stars hugh grant and sandra bullock .
0negative
bears about as much resemblance to the experiences of most battered women as spider-man does to the experiences of most teenagers .
0negative
at times a bit melodramatic and even a little dated -lrb- depending upon where you live -rrb- , ignorant fairies is still quite good-natured and not a bad way to spend an hour or two .

a boring masquerade ball where normally good actors , even kingsley , are made to look bad .
0negative
a semi-autobiographical film that 's so sloppily written and cast that you can not believe anyone more central to the creation of bugsy than the caterer had anything to do with it .
0negative
the skills of a calculus major at m.i.t. are required to balance all the formulaic equations in the long-winded heist comedy who is cletis tout ?

hardly a film that comes along every day .
1positive
definitely worth 95 minutes of your time .
1positive
certainly the big finish was n't something galinsky and hawley could have planned for ... but part of being a good documentarian is being there when the rope snaps .

davis ... gets vivid performances from her cast and pulls off some deft ally mcbeal-style fantasy sequences .

a mesmerizing cinematic poem from the first frame to the last .
1positive
the setting turns out to be more interesting than any of the character dramas , which never reach satisfying conclusions .

whether jason x is this bad on purpose is never clear .
0negative
all comedy is subversive , but this unrelenting bleak insistence on opting out of any opportunity for finding meaning in relationships or work just becomes sad .
0negative
the movie is concocted and carried out by folks worthy of scorn , and the nicest thing i can say is that i ca n't remember a single name responsible for it .
0negative
all too familiar ... basically the sort of cautionary tale that was old when ` angels with dirty faces ' appeared in 1938 .
0negative
seems like something american and european gay movies were doing 20 years ago .
0negative
this is a truly , truly bad movie .

1positive
a lovely film for the holiday season .

the film oozes craft .
1positive
once the expectation of laughter has been quashed by whatever obscenity is at hand , even the funniest idea is n't funny .
