1. Sometimes-edgy shorts collection captures Big Apple's verve.
2. The result, as is always the case with short story collections, is a mixed bag, although unlike Paris Je T'Aime, the duds outnumber the winners this time.
3. The results are, well, formulaic, hobbled by weak dialogue and absent any sense of texture.
4. Yknow a collection of Gotham-themed shorts by international directors is in serious trouble when the most entertaining segment is directed by Hollywood uber-hack Brett Ratner.
5. This collage of vignettes breathes life into New York's edgy lovers.
6. Sharply uneven and inferior to Paris je t'aime, on which it is modeled, this bland anthology lacks the gritty, insightful, multi-ethnic elements found in the quintessentially New York movies of Lumet, Scorsese, Woody Allen and Spike Lee.
7. Predictably, not all of these 11 short films fully connect, but after a few early duds, New York's stronger sequences present themselves, making this an affair to remember if not quite cherish.
8. New York, I Love You is so bad it made me think about moving to Detroit instead.
9. A variety of wry, sentimental, mildly erotic tales that come over as pieces O Henry might have submitted to Playboy.
10. How easily you'll weather the film depends on your taste for poetic, obtuse cinema, often without too much of a rhyme or reason.
What is the critic consensus?
A: Like many anthologies, New York, I Love You has problems of consistency, but it isn't without its moments.

1. Connolly is a revelation. He is one of these rare beasts who have the ability to bring with him his strong presence and renown, but skillfully in the mix, manages to detach himself from his persona and mould himself into the character.
2. Before you know it, you're caught up in a difficult but touching friendship, and enjoying a history lesson more than you ever thought possible.
3. Explores the platonic friendship between the Queen of the British empire and a Scottish servant.
4. Unfortunately, the performances are not enough to carry this film, which feels much longer than its 83 minutes running time.
5. Judi Dench's glacial, reserved demeanour contrasts beautifully with Billy Connolly's natural, rebellious exuberance, and their resultant spark of chemistry is undeniable.
6. ''Mrs. Brown'' transcends its period setting not only with a keenly observed struggle between love and duty but also with the kind of controversy that envelops the Queen and her servant.
7. If the movie crumbles under its own stiffness at times, at least it has the two old pros' good performances to cheer us along the way.
8. Helping things greatly is the film's talented cast, which not only includes stunning performances from the leads, but a scene-stealing turn by Sher as well.
9. Assuming that rich human insight, great production values, and topnotch acting still count for something, Mrs. Brown should have no trouble finding an appreciative audience.
10. How the story resolves itself is a bit unusual and not near as tidily wrapped up as we have come to expect from our films. More like real life.
What is the critic consensus?
A: Thanks to some top notch acting, the chemistry between its stars, and a witty, thoughtful script, Mrs. Brown delivers a nuanced and entertaining, if not entirely factual, account of a seldom explored historical relationship.

1. For those who considers themselves romantics, or for anyone who just enjoys a simple love story from time-to-time, Breakfast at Tiffany's offers a few simple pleasures.
2. I bet you thought I'd go from unpacking Hepburn's ying to examining George Peppard's ying-a-ling.
3. Breakfast at Tiffany's will live on as long as there are lovers to watch it.
4. A near perfect blend of comedy, romance, and minor tragedy.
5. A completely unbelievable but wholly captivating flight into fancy composed of unequal dollops of comedy, romance, poignancy, funny colloquialisms and Manhattan's swankiest East Side areas captured in the loveliest of colors.
6. Not quite a classic, but a marvelous movie.
7. The heartwarming story of a hooker and her alley cat, penned by Truman Capote. Pinch me, I think I'm dreaming!
8. Edwards's highly-spirited romantic story that's lyrical and moody. Hepburn is the epitome of grace and gorgeousness.
9. Way ovverated mishmash of an old-school chick flick.
10. Dated, leisurely paced romance that doesn't deserve it's stellar reputation.
What is the critic consensus?
A: It contains some ugly anachronisms, but Blake Edwards is at his funniest in this iconic classic, and Audrey Hepburn absolutely lights up the screen.

1. The Tillman Story is another example of how contemporary journalism and documentary-making have lost credibility.
2. A slow, steady rumble of anger and dismay at what the U.S. military, and the government, can get away with in the name of public relations.
3. By focusing on the human being, The Tillman Story balances cynical and inspirational aspects in equal measure.
4. Exists in an uncomfortable gray area in which Tillman's saga is at once respectfully dealt with and bestowed with a magnitude it doesn't quite warrant.
5. This documentary succeeds triumphantly on so many levels that its full impact doesn't hit you until you have time to register its aftershocks
6. A scathing and troubling documentary about a high-level military cover-up and a huge propaganda effort by the American government and media to garner support for the war in Iraq.
7. Provocative and colorful as the film is, it does the very thing it denounces -- massaging the facts to seize Tillman for a political agenda.
8. The Tillman Story is ferocious filmmaking, but it wouldn't have half the force it does if the director didn't also get at the complicated man Pat Tillman was ...
9. It reaches beyond the facts of Tillman's story to arrive at key, universal truths about the ways our heroes are made and defined.
10. The Tillman Story unravels the deceptions -- and the deep dishonor -- that inflated life-size valor into fake superheroism.
What is the critic consensus?
A:
Passionate, angry, and insightful, The Tillman Story offers a revealing portrait of its subject's inspiring life and untimely death.
