1. This eye-opening documentary is critical of both parties in its search for answers about the causes of the 2008 economic collapse.
2. Ferguson is so mad he's punching at whatever's in front of him. It's understandable, but this is more polemic than documentary.
3. As a documentary, this is a clear-eyed, steadily building prosecution against Wall Street. But, in the end, Ferguson's film is just a moot trial in which the defendants have already escaped scot-free.
4. Who whacked the economy?
5. More entertaining than Wall Street 2 while saying infinitely more about the iniquities of those that claim to work for us.
6. This is a powerful and coherent work that will explain where the money has gone. It just can't help get restitution against those who did it.
7. Ultimately, Inside Job will not have much to offer those who follow financial news reports.
8. This is a compelling documentary that will have you leaving the cinema absolutely seething.
9. Muchos aspectos técnicos probablemente se le escapen a quienes no tengan al menos un conocimiento básico sobre temas económicos y financieros, pero cualquiera podrá entender y compartir las conclusiones a las que llega este contundente documental.
10. Inside Job offers a concise history in a documentary that speaks to everyone and knows exactly who's to blame.
What is the critic consensus?
A: Disheartening but essential viewing, Charles Ferguson's documentary explores the 2008 Global Financial Crisis with exemplary rigor.

1. A simple story told well, with plenty of lighthearted moments and kernels of thought-provoking material, but little to really excite the cinematic appetite.
2. Against all odds, it turns out, everyday life in a Scandinavian kitchen can be quite a show.
3. [D]elightfully off-kilter and refreshingly original tale about loneliness, friendship, and modern appliances.
4. ...makes the full-circle journey all the way from distant to cloying.
5. It's mostly a well-acted, expertly directed comedy with characters and situations of truly universal appeal.
6. Delightfully offbeat and unexpectedly sweet.
7. Taking the 'stranger in a strange land' concept and twisting it sideways, Hamer says a lot about humanity with few words.
8. uniquely eccentric
9. It rewards patience with persistent chuckles, and fills its humble plate.
10. Boy, just when you think all the original stories have been told, something like this comes along.
What is the critic consensus?
A: By turns touching and funny, this Norwegian import offers quietly absorbing commentary on modern life and friendship.

1. the last funny installment of the series
2. Haven't watched it in awhile, but I remember it well and I remember enjoying it. One of the better Vacation movies (Vegas Vacation is still the best, though).
3. Amusing Chase vehicle on its way to being a Xmas perennial.
4. The new film does little more than reintroduce these familiar characters (with new actors playing the children, who would otherwise be college age by now) and let them get on one another's nerves in earnest.
5. There never, ever should've been more than one of these movies.
6. The human frailty at the center of the story makes the jokes all the funnier. Holiday films are rarely as priceless.
7. As always the visual gags are more prevalent then the verbal ones, and are lit up in neon so you can't miss them.
8. One of the great unanswered questions in Hollywood is how Chevy Chase still gets work.
9. Many of those episodic moments, particularly in the film's first half, are hilarious. But as picture goes along there are far too many dry spells.
10. Sequence after sequence seems to contain all the necessary material, to be well on the way toward a payoff, and then it somehow doesn't work.
What is the critic consensus?
A: While Christmas Vacation may not be the most disciplined comedy, it's got enough laughs and good cheer to make for a solid seasonal treat.

1. ...a somber, mournful installment of the Star Trek franchise. And when the defining trait of your series is dullness, this isn't exactly the best strategy.
2. An emotionally satisfying science fiction adventure.
3. Not bad, but the series would boldly go to better places.
4. christopher lloyd!
5. Almost certainly the best of the "bad" Star Trek films... and for the first 30 or 40 minutes, it's not really even bad, to speak of.
6. Not many Trekkies would list The Search for Spock as their first viewing choice, but it rarely lets you down.
7. These are classic directorial occasions, and Nimoy rises to them with fervor, in effect beaming his film up onto a higher pictorial plane than either of its predecessors.
8. Stirring but sad science-fiction enterprise.
9. This 1984 film's few and unimpressive special effects evidently qualify it as science fiction, but the genre it really belongs to is the male weepie: there hasn't been a gooier buddy romance on the screen since Joe Buck took Ratso Rizzo to Miami.
10. It's reasonably entertaining fare for non-fans.
What is the critic consensus?
A:
Though it may be short on dazzling special effects, The Search for Spock is still a strong Star Trek installment, thanks to affecting performances by its iconic cast.
