REVIEWS RATE:  Critics  Nothing's perfect, but it's worth seeing.    Readers  3 of 5 [Rate It]

2 of 4

“..the movie feels trapped in the 1980s and feels like a missed opportunity..”
by Jennie Punter [Globe and Mail]
2 of 4

“..something about its exuberant eagerness to please gets lost in translation, and the glee becomes suffocating. This is one bright, sunny movie that makes you long for a rainy day..”
by Rene Rodriguez [Miami Herald]
2 of 4

“..it's the broadest of comedies and the slimmest of musicals, relying more on goodwill than on anything resembling professional entertainment. It also strains to make a statement, unsure of what the message is..”
by Peter Howell [Toronto Star]
2.5 of 4

“..it's not exactly "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," but this innocuous adaptation of a 1990 Australian stage production could gain a similar cult following - if only Down Under - as a musical satire that's bouncy, bright and full of silly singalongs..”
by Ted Fry [Seattle Times]
4 of 5

“..is an infectiously joyful Australian Aboriginal musical..”
by Richard Nilsen [Arizona Republic]
3 of 4

“..a glossy sheen - glorious, gaudy moonlit nights in between golden sun-burnt days..”
by Roger Moore [Orlando Sentinel]

HEMINGWAY & GELLHORN :

“..such moments feel like empty gestures when stacked up against a barrage of biopic cliches..”
by A.A. Dowd [Time Out Chicago]

COWGIRLS N' ANGELS :

“..the characters were picked perfectly, and were just so relatable..”
by OrangeHeroMama [Home of OHM]

THE INTOUCHABLES :

“..it's hard to muster much enthusiasm for a movie that leans so heavily on regressive culture-clash shtick and unimaginative stereotypes..”
by Jon Frosch [The Atlantic]

CHERNOBYL DIARIES :

“..the acting is what you’d expect-on the level of what you’ll find in any crummy horror movie shown on the SyFy network..”
by Frank Swietek [One Guy's Opinion]

MEN IN BLACK 3 :

“..sparing a few jokes and nifty set pieces..”
by John Semley [Slant Magazine]

MIGHTY FINE :

“..the mood is generally melodramatic and ends as mushy..”
by Nick Schager [Village Voice]

MOONRISE KINGDOM :

“..this meticulous and convincing detail does not add up to realism but - depending on your perspective - to something either much less or much more than that..”
by Andrew O'Hehir [Salon.com]

BATTLESHIP :

“..too much uninteresting dialogue about “mysterious” aliens to wade through – plus, oodles of nauseating jingoism and slow-motion heroism..”
by Adam Litovitz [Globe and Mail]

HYSTERIA :

“..for all of its sexual posturing and potential to be truly saucy and unconventional, Tanya Wexler's "Hysteria" is inoffensively pleasant..”
by Kevin Jagernauth [The Palylist]

RUST & BONE :

“..though unabashedly melodramatic, "Rust and Bone" resists many of the pretty comforts of the genre..”
by Peter Debruge [Variety]
