1. A respectable, intelligent film, but one, to be sure, that prospers more while in the individual moments, rather than one that remains deeply ingrained in your long-term memory.
2. Though thunder lost to "The Truman Show", this screenplay still has real and punchy dialogue.
3. A fresh, insightful, and often times hilarious film about the follies of instant celebrity.
4. An amiable goof of a comedy.
5. Comic satire of reality TV; lots of dysfunction, sexuality.
6. ...a fine premise that's utilized to progressively underwhelming effect...
7. EdTV isn't bad enough to get angry about, but it's a mundane and toothless satire.
8. Diverting but ultimately toothless and innocuous.
9. It's a slightly lackluster comedy that wants to have something to say, but never gets around to saying it. Or worse, says it, and the audience replies, 'And--?'
10. Matthew McConaughey...leverages his immense charm to keep this broad comedy--highly reminiscent of the far superior Truman Show--airborne.
What is the critic consensus?
A: If it's not as ambitious as The Truman Show in satirizing the voyeuristic nature of television, EdTV is an amiable, witty comedy with fine performances from Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson.

1. It's worth taking the kids yourself.
2. Rugrats again blends poignancy with fun in a way that touches parents, even as it goes for kids with a run of bodily function and booger jokes.
3. Watching Rugrats In Paris ... I am forced to ask myself exactly what range of kids this kiddie movie is actually being pitched at.
4. Predictable and not terribly clever.
5. If you're a parent, you could do a heck of a lot worse than taking the spawn off to catch Rugrats in Paris and if you're a kid, well, you probably already knew that anyway.
6. Fans of the TV show, particularly, will find nothing not to like in this version, and even non-fans may find themselves wondering why they haven't been paying attention to the show all these years.
7. A Tour de France of its own in the Rugrats' latest, funniest and most colorful big-screen trip.
8. Thesp voicings are outstanding, and sometimes reach the level of comic warmth of the Toy Story ensemble.
9. Something for everyone, as it were.
10. More chic and movie-savvy than its predecessor.
What is the critic consensus?
A: When the Rugrats go to Paris, the result is Nickelodeon-style fun. The plot is effectively character-driven, and features catchy songs and great celebrity voice-acting.

1. The long march across the Antarctic wasteland ... sometimes feels just as arduous as the real thing.
2. Looks good, has important 'messages,' but repetitivenessmakes this appear like a drawn-out 30-minute animated feature.
3. It's uncanny... how looking into Mumble's face you can see Elijah Wood's bright eyes.
4. A toe-tapping 'happy feat' of remarkable animated movie-making.
5. Animal Logic ices Pixar in the animation department
6. The best animated film of 2006
7. While the film's visual inventiveness and technological innovations can be daunting at the start, Miller chose his featured animal well. No creatures are more irresistible than penguins, even when they sing disco.
8. I think kids will love it, because the penguins are cute.
9. While I wish it had been more solid in its story, I still like the movie and recommend it. There's enough here that's great to offset the shakier stuff.
10. As an avid movie musical fan, I became enchanted with those spectacular singing and dancing sequences in 'Happy Feet.' Way to go, penguins!
What is the critic consensus?
A: Visually dazzling, with a thoughtful storyline and catchy musical numbers, Happy Feet marks a successful animated debut from the makers of Babe.

1. You'll have a better time if you don't expect this re-imagined work to resemble the original. The phone shoe does fit Carell, and he wears it well.
2. A dumbed-down version of a belovedly lowbrow 1960s TV series.
3. What do dithering tv weathermen do when they retire? They must take their lame, witless banter and their awkward timing to Hollywood to write and direct movies. That might explain Get Smart, one of the latest in a long line of humid, mediocre, tire
4. ...a manufactured piece of work that's been geared towards the lowest common denominator.
5. Without Anne Hathaway, Get Smart might have been a one-note comedy; with her, it's super spirited and super fun.
6. Not funny outrageous or funny gross, but funny cute, funny nice, funny mild.
7. The movie is a time-killer without a killer instinct.
8. Smart summer entertainment that retains the likeability and wit of its source material but brings it into the 21st century with a perfectly cast Steve Carell.
9. Get Smart is happy enough to play for straight laughs rather than truly subversive wit.
10. The stage is clearly set for a sequel, but God help them if they stuff that movie with even more clutter than they stuffed into this one.
What is the critic consensus?
A:
Get Smart rides Steve Carell's considerable charm for a few laughs, but in the end is a rather ordinary Summer comedy.
