1. OK family fun casts Arnold with Sinbad.
2. If it weren't for the credits 'A Brian Levant Film' and 'Directed by Brian Levant,' one would be certain that the director was Chris Columbus.
3. The film is rescued by a strong third act, but getting there is torture.
4. In this formulaic star vehicle, Schwarzenegger gets to fly like Peter Pan, act like Superman--and fulfill all the fantasies kids may have about their fathers.
5. Home Alone, this is not, but for a family Christmas movie, it's surprisingly fun.
6. still heartless and unfunny and as welcome a part of the holidays as traffic and fruit cake.
7. God forbid Arnold should have to shell out for one of those Spanish-speaking turbomen being hocked in the bad part of town.
8. Ahnold terminates the holiday spirit.
9. The practice of buying indulgences didn't die with the Middle Ages, it just sort of metastasized into something black and malignant at the heart of our society.
10. And one wonders why Sinbad hasn't made any movies since
What is the critic consensus?
A: Arnold Schwarzenegger tries his best, but Jingle All the Way suffers from an uneven tone, shifting wildly from a would-be satire on materialism to an antic, slapstick yuk-fest.

1. While audiences will gasp at the audacity of using real animals instead of drawings, the tale behind the technical achievement is stale and outmoded.
2. Stunning animal photography.
3. Its dramatic success seems to derive largely from putting the inhabitants of separate worlds into a context where both belong.
4. Animal-loving kids will think it's lovely, but it's only a mildly diverting time-waster for the rest of us.
5. A stunning, visually spectacular fable - and those wondrous little tiger cubs are irresistible.
6. Charms when the quadripeds stalk the action but creaks when the bipeds open their mouths.
7. The actors play it straight, clearly aware that the tigers are the stars.
8. Annaud and his deft production team create believable dramatic characters without compromising the dignity of the animals they've borrowed as stars.
9. A strong tiger-centered story drives this endearing drama which takes cute and runs with it, climbs up trees with it, sucks your thumbs with it.
10. Astonishingly dreadful.
What is the critic consensus?
A: A charming family-friendly movie with stunning cinematography.

1. Dear Frankie is a sticky ball of sap, and you shouldn't let its accent or film-festival appearances convince you otherwise.
2. It's the lack of sentiment at the right time that proves to be the film's undoing.
3. It may have you reaching for your Kleenex at the end, but at least Dear Frankie triggers audience sniffles the old-fashioned way: it earns them.
4. A rarity: a heartstring-puller that's never manipulative, a tearjerker that's never sentimental or maudlin, and a drama that soars whenever it should be in free fall.
5. A bittersweet bonbon of a drama, full of the old fashioned literary touches that a well-written letter still can deliver in the age of e-mail.
6. Mortimer creates a complex and sympathetic portrait of a mother struggling to give her son anything she can, while McElhone portrays the son as a wise, perceptive lad who can handle more challenges than his mother is willing to allow.
7. Dear Frankie will win you over in spite of your reservations.
8. As the story takes some surprising turns, it works like a slow infection: Patient audience members may find themselves awakening to the story in much the same way the characters awaken to their own capacities for tenderness.
9. The pain that's evoked in this small, warm film -- the deep and unspoken yearning of child -- is as universal as it is heartbreaking.
10. A small movie with a big soul and no easy formula for the happiness of its big-hearted characters.
What is the critic consensus?
A: Dear Frankie is a small, good-hearted film with fine performances.

1. This visually flat, dramatically incoherent film puts a stake through the heart of the series.
2. A pale shadow to the much superior first two films.
3. Goyer destrói a série Blade năo apenas com sua falta de talento como diretor, mas também graças ao seu péssimo roteiro.
4. Reynolds, Biel, Posey, and Lyonne amble around a warehouse trying to out-snark one another -- call it Blade: The Real World.
5. Oh, how the mighty half-vampire has fallen.
6. The least of three.
7. I was really hoping that despite all the bad buzz on this thing I might buck the trend and actually like it, but, as Alex Trebek might say: "Sorry..... no".
8. Blade: Trinity doesn't have the needed fangs to cling onto anything remotely interesting in this seedless third edition of the badass bloodsucker.
9. It looks like they didn't even try.
10. If you aren't a fan, it won't convert you.
What is the critic consensus?
A:
Louder, campier, and more incoherent than its predecessors, Blade: Trinity seems content to emphasize style over substance and rehash familiar themes.
