Q: 1. The film has less than zero staying power, and I ultimately have serious issues with its moral formulation, but its pleasures are difficult to negate.
2. Despite its narrative chaos, Spanglish might have been fun to watch if it weren't for two dimensional characterizations and strange messages.
3. ...less like an acknowledgment of the changing American demographic or an essay on the peculiar common madness of parenthood than a particularly dull-witted sitcom
4. One wants to smack Brooks and ask him just who and what the hell the movie is supposed to be about.
5. With these characters Brooks conjures up a few devastatingly truthful moments, and the overall result feels just about right.
6. Brooks, fumbling around with too many characters and too many issues, can't find the heart of the story or give heart to the part of it he chose to focus on.
7. There are more than enough moments of progressively minded pith and non-nauseating tenderness to preserve your affection.
8. The film too often seems to be talking down, to its subjects and to its audience.
9. The movie is what in Hollywood they call 'character-driven,' and it does take its sweet time. But much of that time is sweet indeed.
10. Instead of a classic along the lines of As Good as It Gets; Spanglish is merely a pleasant diversion. Sandler's surprise turn makes it worth a viewing.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Paz Vega shines, and Adam Sandler gives a performance of thoughtfulness and depth, but Spanglish is ultimately undermined by sitcommy plotting and unearned uplift.
1. Even by the suspended-disbelief standards of fluff it is unnerving; it creates a movie world that has no idea of the boundaries being violated.
2. Dopey and predictable romantic comedy.
3. Ms. Duff projects so much appeal that she leaps over lapses in logic like Super Mario over lava pits. Ms. Locklear helps, too, showing vulnerability and a bit of tenderness.
4. Seriously, the perfect man would call social services.
5. Take away the giggling, pop songs and pink scenery and you have a story as mean-spirited as The Sweet Smell of Success.
6. If you tweaked the movie's giggly tone a little bit, you'd probably have a decent thriller about a maladjusted teen out to emotionally destroy her dim-bulb mother.
7. Rosman and Wendkos run dry of ideas in the film's inert, overextended finale, when the 'Believe in yourself' speeches grow so thick that even the Duff-devoted may start rolling their eyes.
8. The movie doesn't even seem to know how disturbing, at its heart, its subject matter is, so that it can at least have fun with it.
9. Repetitious teen-targeted fluff.
10. The flimsy new Hilary Duff comedy toys with the notion of mother-daughter role reversal.
Consensus: Preposterous and predictable, The Perfect Man manages few laughs with its poorly paced sitcom script, cookie-cutter characters and contrived plotting.
Q: 1. If we are watching Hunt caught, like the western world, in an inexorable downward spiral, we may crane our necks to watch the carwreck, but also wonder if this uneven franchise remains roadworthy.
2. Bird relishes the chance to play with real people - the central suspense sequence, in which Hunt scales Dubai's Burj Khalifa one-handed, is dizzyingly effective, particularly in IMAX - and the pace rarely slows.
3. A fast-paced, globe-trotting adventure that offers blasts, brawls and buildings of equally spectacular scale.
4. Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol is the best film in the franchise so far.
5. The film never forgets the truism that this genre can do wonders in papering over its cracks simply by letting you have a good time.
6. [There's] a sense of humour and self-awareness that was absent from the earlier pictures; though it occasionally feels like run-off from Bird's ingenious superhero satire The Incredibles, it's hard to deny that a little bit of Pixar goes a long way.
7. All the iconic elements of the Mission: Impossible franchise, from the instantly recognisable musical motif to the tech and gadget-heavy modus operandi of the team are harnessed to the max in this high tension edition
8. Even those allergic to Cruise would struggle to resist his magnetism grinning one-handed from the highest skyscraper in the world, cool as a cucumber, ripped as celery.
9. Retaining the series' innate goofiness while taking the action and emotional stakes to new highs, this is the best Mission: Impossible yet.
10. The best Mission Impossible of them all, everything about this fourth film in the movie franchise is big with breathtaking, extravagant stunts and a thrilling, large scale plot to match
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Stylish, fast-paced, and loaded with gripping set pieces, the fourth Mission: Impossible is big-budget popcorn entertainment that really works.
1. As a rather naughty slice of erotica it works brilliantly, with Ardant and Béart making a fascinating partnership.
2. Underwhelming ending and all, Nathalie... remains a powerful exploration of jealousy and desire.
3. A decent import with a nice ending -- and you couldn't ask for better acting talent.
4. French sexual politics may not resonate with American sensibilities
5. A final big 'twist,' which should be no surprise..., sets everything to right again, a case of French marital therapy by way of the Red Shoe Diaries.
6. The film's considerable eroticism is all in the atmosphere and the dialogue.
7. Deals with the impleasantries of sexual behavior without submitting to the level of cheap softcore theatrics.
8. Worth a look, especially if you appreciate the very particular and sometimes peculiar charms of contemporary French cinema.
9. A stylish, sharply observed erotic mystery.
10. It isn't engaging enough to really work and the direction lacks the imagination that might have breathed some life into it.
Consensus: A seductive French import that portrays adult issues of jealousy and betrayal with strong lead performances and considerable French charm.
Q: 1. What summer movies are generally meant to be: big, light entertainment.
2. A refreshing addition to the rejuvenated genre.
3. This one has it all - romance, comedy, action and high-spirited adventure!
4. See website for more details.
5. True deft wit is just plum missing from this good-natured, flat-footed, eager-to- please, tee-hee Western.
6. ...an easygoing diversion that could've (and should've) been so much better...
7. Despite the attention of master scriptwriter William Goldman, this gentle tribute to the hit comedy western TV series missed a golden opportunity for a razor-sharp spoof. There's no doubt the stars had a ball, though.
8. Facetious and cynical, Mel Gibson's star vehicle is glossy and superficially enteratining, but doesn't begin to approximate the charm of James Garner and the original TV series.
9. Maverick never takes itself seriously, which establishes the tone for serious fun. Goldman's screenplay is a model of ingenuity, setting increasingly complicated traps for the three leads, and rather amazed that they wriggle free.
10. Maverick reminds us of what killed the western in the first place.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A:
Consensus: It isn't terribly deep, but it's witty and undeniably charming, and the cast is obviously having fun.
