Critic consensus:Charming characters; loads of fun for kids and adults.

Numbered reviews:1. Essentially just a big-screen episode of the series, and that's more than enough to satisfy any audience.
2. Alarmingly similar to the television cartoon.
3. Has not a trace of what made the early episodes of the cartoon fun, and even at a slight 80 minutes, is a complete waste of time.
4. Although filled with bright colors, the film's animation has a cheap two-dimensional look to it as if they did the same slapdash job expected for a kid's television show.
5. If you're a kid, you'll probably like it.
6. The Rugrats Movie is more like a pleasant Sunday drive in a big smooth sedan than the TV show's riotous joyrides in a fast, shiny convertible.
7. Television's most popular children's show successfully toddles to the big screen, offering all the sass and cuteness that Rugrats fans expect -- and more.
8. I think it's nothing short of shockingly irresponsible.
9. Bored me silly. Really silly.
10. How is it remotely possible, that a film of such awkward amateurishness even be allowed to hit the screen?


Critic consensus:Part delightfully tense techno-thriller, part refreshingly unpatronizing teen drama, WarGames is one of the more inventive -- and genuinely suspenseful -- Cold War movies of the 1980s.

Numbered reviews:1. The film hasn't nearly the despair of Dr. Strangelove, but it retains the same underlining moral questions in its portrayal of these unimaginable dilemmas.
2. The only drawback is that the film's anti-nuke message seems a bit heavy-handed at times. It is hard, though, to imagine any message being more entertainingly delivered.
3. As tense and effective now as it was 25 years ago. The worry back then was more about Soviet missiles than about credit card identity theft, but good filmmaking techniques haven't changed.
4. One of the early films to warn about the dangers of hackers and the possibilities of computers controlling our lives.
5. John Badham solders the pieces into a terrifically exciting story charged by an irresistible idea: an extra-smart kid can get the world into a whole lot of trouble that it also takes the same extra-smart kid to rescue it from.
6. What works best about it works still: it's a paranoid film with an ambiguous ending.
7. In this sage satire, warfare is boiled down to the inanities of tic-tac-toe
8. To me, the most enjoyable aspect of WarGames is when David is at work on his computer system. There's something wonderfully nostalgic about watching a guy play with such antiquated machinery and recognize that it was [once] considered state-of-the-art.
9. Suspenseful Cold War tale with teen gamer in control.
10. Although today it feels rather dated, especially with its technology, it is one of the better examples of the genre.


Critic consensus:Clint Eastwood's assured direction - combined with knockout performances from Hilary Swank and Morgan Freeman - help Million Dollar Baby to transcend its clichés, and the result is deeply heartfelt and moving.

Numbered reviews:
1. A breathtaking human drama that will leave you speechless.
2. His latest film, Million Dollar Baby, propels Eastwood into that hallowed pantheon of the greatest directors. It is quite simply a film masterpiece, a heartbreaking tale of dreams won and lost, exquisitely stylized and expertly performed.
3. Turn convention upside down with its stirring portrayal of paternity, passion, mortality, and loyalty
4. Solemn, inflated and dull.
5. This film has a quiet confidence that catches the rhythms of both a strong story and engaging performances
6. Clint Eastwood and Hilary Swank deliver a powerful one-two punch that will knock your socks off and hit you squarely in the heart.
7. Brave, smart and excellently paced.
8. Aims to articulate the sport's appeal... One isn't completely convinced by the end of the film that the point has been made, but the attempt is a valiant one.
9. An unsettling and unforgettable masterpiece of skid-row poetry that punctures the heart.
10. Eastwood deserves accolades as both director and star of this powerfully made picture.
