Carried Away (1995) |
The performances are captivating, so much so that the film's sometimes slow pace is never a real problem. - Boxoffice Magazine

Rugrats in Paris: The Movie (2000) |
The Rugrats are back for an all-new adventure, and one that is by far much funnier and more entertaining for both youngsters and their guardians than the first bigscreen outing. - Boxoffice Magazine

In Too Deep (1999) |
Although it is based on a true story, the subject matter has been covered too many times to care, and the by-the-book plot plods along to an anti-climatic finish. - Boxoffice Magazine

George of the Jungle (1997) |
The only resemblances to the classic cartoon are that trees still get in George's way, Shep the elephant still thinks he is a doggie, the ape named Ape still talks, and his girlfriend's name is still Ursula. - Boxoffice Magazine

White Squall (1996) |
If the focus had been on the characters' experiences instead of the white squall, much more of the movie would have made a lasting impression. - Boxoffice Magazine

Simon Sez (1999) |
The film's feeble attempts at humor are tedious; like the character of Nick, the film quickly goes from being funny to silly to annoying. - Boxoffice Magazine

The Pest (1997) |

Original Gangstas (1996) |
Although the leads are intended to be cool and menacing, the result resembles parody; scenes of drugs, guns and fights are likely to make audiences burst out in laughter. - Boxoffice Magazine

Double Take (2001) |
Suffers from a scattershot approach to rapid-fire jokes that usually miss their mark, though Griffin's comedic talents brighten the proceedings and Jones does his part to add his own flavor to the mix. - Boxoffice Magazine

Bats (1999) |

Scary Movie (2000) |
By far director/actor Keenen Ivory Wayans' best parody effort to date, primarily because he here taps into a rejuvenated genre and is given access to broader subject matter with universal appeal. - Boxoffice Magazine

Forces of Nature (1999) |

A Thin Line Between Love and Hate (1996) |
In showing the importance of monogamy, the film is profound enough that it could lead couples to reevaluate themselves; women will look at their new men a bit more quizzically, and men will be less likely to say "I love you" unless they mean it. - Boxoffice Magazine
