Critic consensus:A kick-ass addition to the cop-buddy film genre.

Numbered reviews:1. ...manages to coast on the palpable chemistry between the two leads...
2. How sad that the great Chan is presumed to need this kind of dumbed-down buddy movie.
3. The action and stunt scenes are not on a par with those in Chan's HK efforts.
4. By the book buddy-buddy movie. This is a weakly scripted parade of set-pieces which aren't as exciting as regular Jackie Chan films.
5. No matter how much or how fast Tucker talks, you can't help feeling that his co-star has made a fatal mistake.
6. The contrast between Tucker's motormouth and Chan's man of few words should be funnier, but the plot -- which is cliched without quite becoming self-reflexive -- and the uneven pace dampen most of their moments.
7. a big heap of fun
8. Chan...can make something out of nothing, while Ratner's chief skills seem to be talking himself into the director's chair and hiring the right people. [Blu-ray]
9. A lightweight, but highly enjoyable buddy cop movie elevated by its two lead stars.
10. Buddy cop fun amidst explosions, bad guys, and language.


Critic consensus:At times ponderous, Me Without You is engaging due to the fine work by Williams and Friel.

Numbered reviews:1. Psychologically savvy.
2. This sensitive, smart, savvy, compelling coming-of-age drama delves into the passive-aggressive psychology of co-dependence and the struggle for self-esteem.
3. It's a pleasure to actually watch a chick flick that appeals to all audiences because of its strict emphasis on human emotion, rather than fluffy pillows, pom-poms and makeovers.
4. A well-made and often lovely depiction of the mysteries of friendship.
5. Love. Lust. Recrimination. Jealousy. Resolution. This British female friendship melodrama has them all.
6. It is always disappointing to me when I want to fall desperately in love with a film and can't.
7. finely crafted, finely written, exquisitely performed
8. A journey spanning nearly three decades of bittersweet camaraderie and history, in which we feel that we truly know what makes Holly and Marina tick, and our hearts go out to them as both continue to negotiate their imperfect, love-hate relationship.
9. The story and the friendship proceeds in such a way that you're watching a soap opera rather than a chronicle of the ups and downs that accompany lifelong friendships.
10. Although the film deserves some points for trying to describe the intensity of best-friendship between girls, it fails to make them interesting people.


Critic consensus:TMNT's art direction is splendid, but the plot is non-existent and the dialogue lacks the irony and goofy wit of the earlier TMNT movies.

Numbered reviews:
1. Now and then one character accuses another of glorifying violence, 'that brute vigilante junk.' Talk about hypocrisy: Without the brute vigilante junk, this 82-minute picture would be approximately 2 minutes long.
2. The story's nothing special, but the movie is vigorously directed, with a camera that moves at a decidedly un-turtle-like pace. And the animation is unusually handsome.
3. It's a delight to report that the return of the brawlin' reptiles lives up to and surpasses even the most potent expectations.
4. It has a dreadful Ghostbusters-Stargate plot, virtually no decent jokes, but toss in a little digital skateboarding, a lot of digital swordfighting (gunplay, too), a couple of 'Cowabungas,' and you've got yourself a hit. They hope.
5. What's lacking, except in too-quick flashes, are some of the subtler spices -- wit, self-mockery -- strewn through this franchise in all its various formats.
6. The unexpectedly rich art direction gives the violence more impact than was ever possible in the TV series.
7. 300 for kindergarteners.
8. The preteen fanboy in me kept searching for something truly exciting in this movie, but, sadly, the critic in me knew that it wasn't there.
9. This is no mythic rebirth like Batman Begins or Superman Returns, simply another generically smart-alecky chapter directed with a visual style attuned to speed.
10. The real power in the TMNT stories is the transformation, but in this movie that's all in the past, and it is difficult to get much satisfaction from the comeback premise or the attempts to create some sibling rivalry. It's more video game than story.
