| 1/4 | 42% | Miss Congeniality (2000) |
With this cutesy bit of ick, Sandra Bullock squanders the good will she engendered with her surprisingly complex portrayal of a party girl in rehab in 28 Days.‐ Palo Alto Weekly

| 2/4 | 92% | Ghost World (2001) |
There are bits of wicked humor, but Zwigoff begins by laughing at the kooks in Clowes' ghost of a world and never stops. The real crime is that Clowes is content to join in with him.‐ Palo Alto Weekly
