Critic consensus:A thin plot is disguised by high octane dancing and action in this Bollywood crossover comedy.

Numbered reviews:1. Less a Bollywood bonbon than a pan-Asian fusion dish, this combination of Indian musical and Chinese chopsocky is, nonetheless, delicious fun.
2. If Slumdog Millionaire's success has Hollywood thinking American audiences are ready for the authentic Indian movie experience, Chandni Chowk to China could quickly put the kibosh on that notion.
3. It's a kung fu action comedy played out to a Bollywood beat.
4. If only it were as much fun as its trailer!
5. This is a pretty entertaining work for the most part despite its unevenness and for those who have never experienced an authentic Bollywood film before, it will serve as a perfectly good introduction to that style of filmmaking.
6. Chandni Chowk to China seamlessly adds kung fu to the usual blend of comedy, dance and melodrama.
7. The movie's ostensible distinction is its coupling of Bollywood and kung fu, but it's really a self-realization course dressed up as kinetic comedy.
8. This Indian/Chinese cinematic hybrid is likable and entertaining but overlong and occasionally hokey.
9. If Chandni Chowk To China is not exactly original, it steals wisely, resulting in a movie that moves and entertains (even if it's too long by at least a half-hour).
10. In fact, at two hours and 34 minutes, CC2C is too much by a half: too much dancing and fighting and too much footage of the Great Wall of China.


Critic consensus:Unoriginal, with one-dimensional characters.

Numbered reviews:1. A tepid comedy/drama involving a wealthy nurse, Judith (Holly Hunter), who is miserable.
2. The smooth, soothing soundtrack could not be a better fit for the laid-back, low-key, unforced appeal of the film.
3. ... made up of magical moments of revelation that are the film's strength as well as its ultimate weakness.
4. 'Living Out Loud' presents the delightful surprise of Danny DeVito as a romantic lead. And he also sings!
5. This feminist comedy shot through with fantasies about the travails of newly single womanhood strikes some rich chords, but doesn't quite put together a complete tune.
6. If you live in Manhattan, you know women like Judith (Holly Hunter), the 40-something, Upper East Side divorce who put her ex-husband through medical school.
7. A wonderful film from beginning to end, one that is honest, genuinely funny, and poignant.
8. ... there is always a market for these kid of sleek, superficial movies about the redemptive power of being true to your own nature
9. A wonderfully crafted movie that has the resourcefulness to encourage Holly Hunter to dance, Danny DeVito to sing, and Queen Latifah to act.
10. the kind of movie that hasn't been produced very often since Jill Clayburgh retired from the screen... Hunter, it should be said, fills Clayburgh's high heels quite nicely, convincingly veering from neurotic to erotic...


Critic consensus:The Twilight Saga's second installment may satisfy hardcore fans of the series, but outsiders are likely to be turned off by its slow pace, relentlessly downcast tone, and excessive length.

Numbered reviews:
1. The irony in this movie about vampires is that the only thing doing any sucking is the movie itself.
2. In the mood for two glossy hours of adolescent yearning and buff, shirtless dudes? Then this movie is for you!
3. If the first instalment of The Twilight Saga was a celebration of teenage sulkiness, then this sequel positively drowns in it.
4. New Moon lacks the chemistry and passion that made Twilight so special. The sequel focuses more on the gratuitous sex appeal of the two lead male stars.
5. Gives fans what they want (hot young dudes who don't wear shirts), and might surprise a few people who didn't expect much
6. There's little in the way of forward momentum until the final 30 minutes; stretching out this picture to longer than two hours was indefensible.
7. I enjoyed New Moon. It has occasional longeurs, for sure; it lurches from the sublime to the ridiculous (that's a cliché, but this film does just that); but it also has joyous moments.
8. Depending on your gender, age and Twihard-ness, this good-looking angst party is either a solid Meyer adaptation with quiver-worthy moments of hotness; or a wet, ludicrous, unintentionally-funny pile of steaming bathos.
9. Overall, it delivers on everything Twi-hards will want, but that in itself is this film's failing.
10. New Moon flirts with various treatment methods - rehab, alternative medication - before giving us the fix we crave. Fans will not be disappointed.
