The more Kevin Costner rests on his pretty-boy laurels, the public is, regrettably, going to have tepid films like Dragonfly tossed at them.

Consensus: Sappy, dull, and muddled, Dragonfly is too melancholic and cliched to generate much suspense.
Theatrical Release:Feb 22, 2002 Wide
Box Office: $30,063,805
Synopsis: Lush green aerial photography of the Venezuelan jungle stands in stark contrast to the dark and depressing urbanity of American city life where Joe Darrow (Kevin Costner) works as a doctor in the... [More]

Reviews for Dragonfly
One would have trouble trying to definitely pin down Kevin Costner's penchant for appearing in piffle-minded cinema...this unbalanced and emotionally-charged spookfest cannot overcome the tearjerking triteness and cockeyed contrivances
03/04/02
wears its desperation on its sleeve by doing anything it can to try to scare and confuse you before reassuring you that it has all been in the spirit of New Age-y pietism
03/03/02
If ... you consider yourself a discerning filmgoer, you will find Dragonfly excruciatingly bad -- head-in- popcorn-bucket bad.
03/03/02
It is dreary, it is boring, and worst of all, it is phony.
02/26/02
Director Tom Shadyac takes a listless, by-the-number approach to the action, giving the script about as much effort as it deserves.
02/25/02
Here's my advice, Kev. Start reading your scripts before signing that dotted line.
02/25/02
Appealing to those who call Madame Cleo for psychic readings and truly believe that TV's John Edwards 'crosses over.'
02/25/02
... a super stupid thriller ...
02/25/02
[A]n odd -- and sometimes creepy -- ghost story that uses nearly every trick in the book to make the audience jump.
02/25/02
Chances are good that if you loved Ghost or Truly Madly Deeply, you'll at the very least like this fitfully affecting tale of love beyond death and faith beyond reason.
02/25/02
Top CriticA sort of supernatural take on The Searchers, with a few haunted-house chills added to goose the audience out of boredom-induced comas.
02/25/02
A moldy rehash of supernatural thrillers that have come before.
02/24/02
For feature-length storytelling ... it's woefully inadequate with obvious tactics employed at every turn to stretch and elongate the narrative beyond its natural dimensions.
02/24/02
To anyone who has experienced true grief, Dragonfly will seem nothing more than a cruel hoax.
02/23/02
It represents yet another failed attempt by Kevin Costner to resuscitate a sinking leading-man career that has descended to well below the crush-depth level.
02/23/02
If you're a Costner fan, you'll find Dragonfly mildly diverting, but otherwise you'll come away agreeing with the woman in the audience who said as the lights went up, 'That was so cheesy.'
02/22/02
Probably was hatched by screenwriters watching The Sixth Sense on methamphetamines.
02/22/02
Top CriticWhile the themes sound intriguing, the movie lacks the necessary clarity of vision.
