Q: 1. Very funny; unconventionally effective!
2. It is very, very silly and funny, not to mention scary in all the right places.
3. Lake Placid is worth paying full admission price alone just to see Golden Girl sweetie Betty White feed a blind-folded cow to the croc and cuss out the feds.
4. There's a special look that actors get - avid yet resigned - when the movie they're starring in is so bad it practically billboards their stalled careers.
5. ...even though everything in sight defines cinematic repulsion, that doesn't mean you still can't have a good time.
6. Not as imaginatively campy as Tremors and certainly far from as suspenseful or unnerving as Jaws.
7. Where "Godzilla" makes the head hurt, "Placid" splashes up a bit fun. A solid "B" movie.
8. The best 'monster under water' pic since the original Jaws!
9. The funniest film of the summer!
10. An odd, derivative, but sporadically likeable film.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Faux horror schtick fails to elicit any laughs or scares.
1. [Not] merely one of the best animated films of the year; it's the best, and further, ranks among 2005's most satisfying cinematic experiences.
2. An Oscar-winning comedy duo finally debuts in a feature film, and it's just as harebrained as you'd expec
3. An unqualified success.
4. Despite its vocal distractions, this clay-animation comedy adventure managed to dazzle me with its sheer audacity and inventiveness.
5. This might be Plasticine's finest hour.
6. Taken as a whole, this is a superb film and an astonishing technical achievement.
7. ...the humor is all of a piece with [Park's] earlier work, dense with background jokes
8. Superb craftsmanship.
9. Giggle inducing with a few truly high quality guffaws. In terms of silly joy, it's hard to beat.
10. The script this time is really better than the animation and the result is genuinely funny. This is an animated film, but it aims to please the whole family and its aim is good.
Consensus: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is a subtly touching and wonderfully eccentric adventure featuring Wallace and Gromit.
Q: 1. Gandolfini's last screen performance and another great one from Tom Hardy are the highlights of a crime thriller from Lehane, the author of "Gone Baby Gone" and "Mystic River."
2. No, the performances are good enough, the story engaging enough, but The Drop never convinces us that the events unfolding on the screen are more than a filmmaker's conceit.
3. Roskam's sensibilities wouldn't seem to mesh with such a distinctly American crime story, but his attention to character detail crosses all borders.
4. The Drop, a potent, propulsive crime drama, gives us one more chance to salute the formidable talent of a remarkable actor [James Gandolfini] who died in June 2013 at age 51.
5. The Drop is a taut yarn that bides its time. Slow-burning tension, dark wit and superlative performances will keep audiences captivated.
6. "The Drop" would be totally forgettable, except for one thing- it's the final screen performance by James Gandolfini.
7. "The Drop" could have been an ordinary crime drama, but it's elevated by extraordinary performances.
8. While director Michael Roskam lays the groundwork for a heist thriller, "The Drop" is fueled by character, not plot.
9. If you follow your instincts and bolt at the start of this sturdy and bleak noir, you'll miss Tom Hardy creating a thing of beauty yet again.
10. Mr. Roskam's direction is gratifyingly loose. He lets the story, which is really the least interesting part of the movie, more or less take care of itself, allowing us to savor pungent morsels of dialogue and bits of low-key actorly showboating.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: There's no shortage of similarly themed crime dramas, but The Drop rises above the pack with a smartly written script and strong cast.
1. Italians have a phrase -Che posso fare?- meaning "What can I do?" that's sometimes used when the answer is: "Nothing, just go with it." Lots of things happen in Eat Pray Love that only the lonely and book club members will understand. You just go with it.
2. It's about something important, the search for meaning and happiness, about finding one's inner life amid the clutter and confusion of modern existence.
3. Roberts is precisely the right actress to play this character: She adamantly refuses to be adorable -- she'd rather just unleash that crazy, unladylike cackle.
4. If you're in the mood for a Julia Roberts film that provides two hours of "Calgon take me away", this is it.
5. The cast, led (by the nose) by Roberts, is pretty. The men are handsome and sensitive. The scenery is beautiful and the techs and production are first class. I still wish that Liz went back to Italy and had another pizza.
6. While Eat Pray Love has some enlightening, touching, visually breathtaking moments, you still end up praying it would end.
7. Rodney [Dangerfield] may have cracked about "praying after you eat," but this film reflects the need to surfeit before finding balance.
8. Let the cynics scoff - this is a movie that's beautiful to look at that will leave you with some food for thought, as well.
9. In a summer dominated (as always) by male-skewering titles, this is a richly rewarding experience for discerning grownups who wouldn't be caught dead seeing Grown Ups.
10. It's a shame the actors have to spoil cinematographer Robert Richardson's artistry by reciting the drivel that passes for dialog.
Consensus: The scenery is nice to look at, and Julia Roberts is as luminous as ever, but without the spiritual and emotional weight of the book that inspired it, Eat Pray Love is too shallow to resonate.
Q: 1. Game of Shadows makes better use of director Guy Ritchie's "Sherlock Holmes on steroids" concept.
2. More Rambo than Miss Marple ... Audiences will flock to see a dizzying swirl of furious fisticuffs, blazing gunfights, and theater-rocking explosions. Me, I'll be home watching my Columbo box sets.
3. Fantastical, furious and really funny -- even better than the 2009 film which revived the Holmes franchise.
4. It's all bigger and louder and so much less.
5. There's no fun quite as shallow as the fun of watching actors goof with one another, which is pretty much the single card that A Game of Shadows has to play.
6. Same Victorian clutter, same overstuffed frames, same Guy Ritchie directorial hyperactivity.
7. If you liked the first film, you should like this one as well. It plays almost like a second half of a four-hour movie, after all.
8. You don't need a deerstalker and a magnifying glass to track the subtext of this fatiguing Arthur Conan Don't Ask-Don't Tell 'bromance.'
9. In an act of criminal negligence, Ritchie has wasted Robert Downey Jr. in a sequel that eliminates smarts in favor of relentless headbanging.
10. ... a singularly joyless endeavor, a murky mishmash of skullduggery, ho-hum CG and formulaic cliff-hanger escapes that would have been old hat around the time of 'The Great Train Robbery.'
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A:
Consensus: Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows is a good yarn thanks to its well-matched leading men but overall stumbles duplicating the well-oiled thrills of the original.
