Some Kind of Beautiful Reviews

Movie Reviews

• what's most irritating about this movie is how it sells out the Romantics. Both Haigs originally interpret poetry in shallow and self-serving ways, but at least they're trying to defy convention a little

  Review rate : D by Noel Murray [A.V. Club ]

• Richard may be obnoxious, but Vaughan always inadvertently finds new ways to make Brosnan look even worse

  by Simon Abrams [Village Voice ]

• gracelessly and repeatedly broken thanks to neophyte screenwriter Matthew Newman's clichéd characterizations and helmer Tom Vaughan's incompetent direction

  by Simon Abrams [L.A. Weekly ]

• a string of hackneyed situations and faux "edgy" humor you wouldn't find on even the worst episode of "Frasier"

  by Robert Abele [LA Times ]

• a hodgepodge of horny-old-man cliches writ large, and stages it not as farce, but as gleeful affirmation of its male lead's ego and entitlement

  by Clayton Dillard [Slant Magazine ]
