Q: 1. The movie is a little underworld and a little romance, but neither story has a lot of impact. It could benefit from playing up the mysticism of Bernie's lack of luck.
2. Worth seeing... for William H. Macy's (naked) butt, I guess.
3. A carefully assembled supporting cast gives The Cooler the grit that sells the magic.
4. The Cooler mixes character and milieu with a hustler's ease.
5. The Cooler is as much of a con as Vegas itself; that's the source of its charm.
6. The Cooler is old-fashioned in the way the Shangri-La is old-fashioned, and I mean that as a compliment. This is a movie without gimmicks, hooks or flashy slickness.
7. A winning drama that's only slightly too pleased with its own playful conceits, The Cooler features strong performances and flows with the grace and assurance of a Sinatra song.
8. The Cooler is Leaving Las Vegas recast as a fairy tale of sorts.
9. If you're really in the market for seasonal inspiration, The Cooler could be your best bet.
10. A safe bet.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: A small movie elevated by superb performances.
1. It's a one-line pitch in search of an actual script. And, given how difficult it is to sell a screenplay to a studio, much less get it made, it's really sad to see something this lazy and meager actually work its way through the system.
2. While '06 is still young, chances are, 12 months from now, Grandma's Boy will rank as one of the year's worst comedies. Munich offers more laughs.
3. Just as a few bong hits would probably make the movie a tiny bit funnier, they would also probably make all memories of the film blissfully vanish.
4. As a short it could have emerged as inspired, but as a feature it feels tired, deflated, and far too familiar.
5. In the real world, no one ever learns anything. People just stumble along in their own filth and stupidity. So does everyone in this movie. It's refreshing.
6. I'd call this defiance of basic movie conventions 'experimental' if I didn't know it was actually due to sheer incompetence.
7. The Sandler-patented mix of the deliberately offensive and the blatantly sentimental loses something in the maestro's absence.
8. Everyone won't love Doris in this crude, boring movie
9. Sufficiently oddball and the performers sufficiently likable to keep the whole thing from being painful.
10. [The film] does a very thorough job of reducing every recognizable member of the cast to probable career lows.
Consensus: A gross-out comedy that's more gross than comedic, Grandma's Boy is lazy and unrewarding.
Q: 1. ...the very definition of a classic....and the newly restored, THX-mastered DVD transfer is breathtaking.
2. More than the grandfather of full-length animated films, it is a genuine classic in its own right.
3. Songs like 'Heigh-Ho'and 'Some Day My Prince Will Come' are timeless; people who haven't seen this in years still recall every word.
4. It is a classic, as important cinematically as The Birth of a Nation or the birth of Mickey Mouse.
5. Arguably the best Disney ever.
6. While I see the film's importance from a technical aspect and laud it for its sense of mood, it's not at the top of my list of animated classics.
7. To one degree or another, every animated feature made since owes it something.
8. Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs may not be the 'fairest of them all,' but being the very first of them all is reason enough to admire the effort.
9. Walt Disney's greatest achievement, the sensation of the motion picture industry... Unbelievably beautiful... Unutterably charming... The beloved fairy tale comes to vivid life.
10. More important historically than it is entertaining.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: With its involving story and characters, vibrant art, and memorable songs, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs set the animation standard for decades to come.
1. Warmer and fuzzier than the first film, though every bit as tedious.
2. I'm not impressed.
3. Dr. Dolittle 2 is so full of comic excrement that you may find yourself looking down as you leave the theater.
4. This is better-directed than the first film, but what Steve Carr has to work with is a script that doesn't believe in the strengths of its character and performers.
5. As a good afternoon diversion, though, it's just what the Dr. ordered.
6. [Murphy's] performance is a testament to his endless energy, wit and imagination.
7. A cute, crude and good-hearted movie.
8. They should have called it Dr. Doo-Doo.
9. While it'd be silly to hold a movie like this to too strict a standard, one should expect it to at least respect its own premise.
10. There's enough pee pee and poo poo in Dr. Dolittle 2 to tax the sewer system of a major city.
Consensus: Although there are laughs to be had in Dr. Dolittle 2, its preoccupation with toilet humor and Murphy's restrained performance makes this a missed opportunity.
Q: 1. There are some quiet, keenly observed scenes of family life in Everlasting Moments, but they don't go anywhere, and ironically, the movie diagnoses the reason why.
2. The three principal actors are powerfully effective, particularly Heiskanen.
3. Troell knows that what we want from our photographic memories and the stories they prompt is a special kind of emotional precision: a permanent one.
4. There's a luminous purity to this film...quietly eloquent, both in subject and cinematic expression.
5. A movie like Everlasting Moments comes along maybe once in a decade.
6. Arguably, the pacing of this Swedish import is agonizingly slow and self-indulgent. (It's safe to say that if you find the films of Ingmar Bergman and other Scandinavian directors a bit dull and stuffy, you'll feel likewise about this one.)
7. [Director] Troell lovingly re-creates a time when socialism and Charlie Chaplin movies represented the ways forward, and he anchors his social panorama in the meek, stubborn stare of an unnoticed woman possessed with looking at everything.
8. Everlasting Moments ... returns the viewer to a time before reproduced images had saturated our culture...
9. Everlasting Moments skillfully showcases the power of artistic expression.
10. Benefits from a scrupulous emotional realism even as it jumps ahead several years at a time.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Elegant and intimate, Everlasting Moments moves at the deliberate and gentle pace of a classical European period drama.
Q: 1. As bossy and joyless as its title character.
2. Filled with an infectious love for the region's songs.
3. It allows McTeer to make another cherishable but not sappy portrait in her remarkable gallery of women.
4. The cast (which includes folk singer Iris Dement) is superb, and the music is its equal.
5. Begins with noble intentions before getting sidetracked by a sappy storyline.
6. Your enjoyment of the Songcatcher will pretty much depend on your predisposition to like it.
7. Perhaps too laden with messages for its own good, but it has many moments of musical beauty.
8. As captivating as it is earnest and off-beat.
9. Muddies the waters with a bogus villain and melodramatic subplots.
10. Made for the lowest common denominator.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A:
Consensus: The story may be a bit too melodramatic, but great performances abound in Songcatcher. The real reason to see the movie, however, is the hypnotic music.
