Q: 1. Zack and Miri may be a gross-out movie, but it's a damn clever one.
2. This explicit gross-out comedy is so scared of being too naughty, it seeks refuge in a very 'nice' love story. The result isn't funny or edgy.
3. While the jokes are admittedly very funny, they're constantly offset by a tumbling waterfall of schmaltz.
4. The most dirty-minded date movie of all time.
5. There remain some scatological touches I am still trying to forget. It's all done with great glee, yet falls far short of being hilarious.
6. A well-meaning, foul-mouthed misfire.
7. In a strangely perverse way -- and thanks to the solid performances of the two leads -- the love story of Zack and Miri is more touching than you might expect, given the film's grungy setting and essentially sordid theme.
8. An R-rated film which is rude, crude and disgusting-- and yet strangely sweet and sentimental.
9. It's crude and rude but there's something endearingly innocent about Kevin Smith's aptly titled comedy in which a dabble in porn becomes a mother of a funny set up
10. Doesn't represent much movement from where Smith had placed himself with Clerks II, which means what you felt about the previous should be about the same as what you'd feel about the latest.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Zack and Miri Make a Porno is a modest success for Kevin Smith, due in large part to the charm of Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks.
1. Knuckle is a curiously riveting work.
2. Simply showing generations of pasty, fat men pounding each other to a pulp shouldn't be mistaken for an in-depth exploration of Gaelic machismo...
3. Ambiguity makes Knuckle a fascinating portrait, but a middling cinematic experience.
4. Knuckle is a documentary about feuding families of Irish Travelers who settle their grudges with bare-knuckle boxing matches, so it's bound to be inherently fascinating, regardless of how well it's assembled.
5. Knuckle largely skirts exploitation, simply by virtue of showing this conflict perpetuate itself over so many years. Clans like the Quinn McDonaghs and the Joyces seem destined to fight for generations after they've forgotten their rationale.
6. While the film becomes slightly redundant, the anger and strife its characters cannot overcome is awful, poetic and, frankly, astonishing.
7. While it's frustrating that Mr. Palmer doesn't dig deep into the complexities of the fights, one of the movie's strengths is the honesty with which he confesses his doubts about them.
8. Though you will wish for more polish and insight, its unruly action is hard to resist.
9. As Palmer rightly shows, there's plenty of heart and soul (rough-and-tumble though it may be) beneath the acres of scar tissue on display here.
10. Palmer's film is brutally compelling to look at, as the lads get down to face-rearranging, but it also carries a lot of tragic historical freight.
Consensus: A gritty documentary that captures the brutality and banality of bare-knuckle fights among Irish Travellers.
Q: 1. It's a simplistic movie, but there's something appealing about its simplicity.
2. Battle: Los Angeles is like watching someone else play Call of Duty so you're not very engaged in the action because you're not the one controlling it..."
3. Recently, astrophysicist Stephen Hawking suggested that if alien life exists, we shouldn't be in a rush to make first contact. Consider Battle: Los Angeles Hawking's cinematic "I told ya so."
4. Neither as serious as Black Hawk Down nor as lightheartedly fun as Independence Day.
5. Eat some leatherneck lead, E.T. -- and semper fi, space scum!
6. Terminally stupid.
7. Jonathan Liebesman's "Battle: Los Angeles" is one of those rare films that fails on just about every level a film can fail on.
8. Just the worst, most cliché-ridden bunch of faceless cannon fodder you've ever had the misfortune to watch die.
9. It's not new, it's not novel and it's not art. But as a popcorn movie a couple of months out of summer season, it'll have to do.
10. Battle: Los Angeles misses every mark it aims for. Aside from the well done special effects nothing in this movie is worth recommending.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A: Consensus: Overlong and overly burdened with war movie clichés, Battle: Los Angeles will entertain only the most ardent action junkies.
1. Such an effective emotional roller coaster that its flaws seem diminished
2. A cinematic puzzle that's more schematic than natural, and one with a distinctly sour aftertaste, but despite the artificiality it still works.
3. Not simply a cynical view of modern romance but a statement about the poisons embracing the human condition.
4. As unflinching in its honesty as it is sharp in its observation and a great adaptation from stage to screen.
5. This is a must if you are into literary cinema.
6. This is the dark side of human interaction: ugly and cruel, but powerful and resonant nonetheless.
7. With outstanding performances from Rudd and Weisz, this is an unsettling, provocative and nasty little gem.
8. Anchored by two great leads and full of interesting, deeply debatable ideas, Shape still feels stagey and boxed in -- like a brilliantly unknowable friend existing in a world not your own.
9. The balanced struggle between and among sexes is engaging for a good chunk of the film.
10. LaBute would like us to know that neither sex has a monopoly on behaving very, very badly. Alert the media!
Consensus: LaBute returns to his earlier themes of cruelty in relationships, and the results hit hard.
Q: 1. Reyadas' radical rejection of filmmaking conventions is at first off-putting, but he's able to elicit remarkable performances from the cast of non-professionals while building tension that will hold viewers' attention.
2. Ambitious, challenging and exceedingly frustrating.
3. Not everyone is going to be willing or able to take this leap of faith, but those who do go along with Reygadas may well feel they have come away having undergone a stunning revelatory experience.
4. To say that sacred and profane imagery are daringly juxtaposed here would be seriously understating the case.
5. If all this sounds artistically daring to you, you'll love it. Also, you're insane.
6. Explicitness is crucial to meaning -- by dwelling on the trim and beautiful versus the flabby and ordinary, Reygadas emphasizes both physical closeness and economic distance.
7. [Reygadas has] got an astonishing technique. Here's hoping that someday he'll use it to make a movie.
8. At once unmoored and ruthlessly calculating, the Mexican film Battle in Heaven has everything for everyone or perhaps nothing at all.
9. Whereas Reygadas' first film felt like the unadulterated expression of a raw and original artistic voice, his second bears all the markings of a movie made for a constituency.
10. Fighting cliche, presenting the most flawed people as sympathetic and occasionally averting his camera eye as his characters neglect the saving of their own souls, Reygadas has made a movie that is itself an ethical dilemma.
Based on these individual reviews, what is the critic consensus?

A:
Consensus: Though it tries to be provocative, Battle in Heaven is lethargic and mind-numbing.
