1. Chutzpah is best defined by Fox's claim that it is 'fair and balanced' . . .
2. Hammers home the point that media mogul Rupert Murdoch's Fox network has never been anything more than a mouthpiece for the Bush administration.
3. Outfoxed manages to be political without being sanctimonious.
4. Good if obvious indictment of Fox News, but I would've liked more on how the network has hurt other journalists' efforts to find the truth.
5. Succeeds in hoisting Fox News by its own petard. Greenwald's approach may not be balanced, but it seems pretty fair.
6. A damning and thorough indictment of Fox News's dishonest reporting
7. If Michael Moore is the shaggy dog hero of the Left these days, then Robert Greenwald is the pit bull.
8. The entertaining "Outfoxed" comes to the ourageous conclusion that Fox News is not fair and balanced. Gosh, who knew?
9. Methodically works to disarm the ready-made accusation that it is outfoxing Fox by stooping to its methods.
10. Greenwald's central thesis rings true.
Consensus: Neither fair nor balanced itself, Outfoxed offers an often entertaining indictment of the Fox News Channel.
1. This is a film that gets better as it goes along, but not enough better to make much of a difference.
2. There's a lot of wasted effort here trying to distract us from what we know good and well is going to happen. Nevertheless, it's time pleasantly spent.
3. It's the kind of movie home video was invented for: Not worth the trip to the theater, but slam it into the VCR and you get your rental's worth.
4. Tomei, sashaying through the proceedings as kind of a sexy hood ornament, creates a buoyant chemistry with her combative b.f.
5. Smart-talking comedy with Joe Pesci in fine form.
6. While it's easy to imagine an infinite number of bad courtroom comedies based on this scenario, this movie turns out to be wonderful -- broad and low character comedy that's solidly imagined and beautifully played.
7. Though overrated, this comedy shows why Joe Pesci was once an important film addition
8. It's a small, surprisingly gentle affair, prone to fits and starts, but fun.
9. Too dependent on convenient stereotypes and fish-out-of-water cliches, though the late Fred Gwynne is a welcome presence.
10. Big dumb comedy that somehow works.
Consensus: The deft comic interplay between Joe Pesci and Marisa Tomei helps to elevate My Cousin Vinny's predictable script, and the result is a sharp, hilarious courtroom comedy.
1. A crass, often ridiculously misguided period drama that spells everything out in nice, big block letters so even a small child could comprehend it.
2. A cheap bauble of a flick.
3. Jeanne is no fun at all.
4. ... takes a fascinating footnote and reduces it to a mediocre and fitfully entertaining film.
5. Swank's honest mistake is in trying to be worthy of a project that's beneath her.
6. I felt as if I was at an Yves St. Laurent fashion show and the actors were modeling the latest in 18th-century fashions.
7. ...what really sinks the film is its script...
8. Much of the dramatic juice and intrigue have been drained out of this old-fashioned costume drama, that in the hands of director Charles Shyer and actress Hilary Swank becomes stiff, stuffy, and banal affair.
9. [Swank's] out of her league here and her tendency to underplay -- as if she were afraid of the material and didn't want to risk anything flamboyant or bold -- makes her performance seem tentative, half-felt.
10. The kind of movie made bearable only by uttering snide comments to a friend.

Consensus: A film about court intrigue, The Affair of the Necklace turns out to be more dull than juicy. Swank seems flat and miscast in the central role of Jeanne.
