Missing: this movie's plot.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 28, 2010

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 7, 2008

The main flaw ... is that it never really seems to get going; like laid-back 'hero' Jack Ryan (Owen Wilson), the movie seems happy to drift along and just see what happens.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 6, 2005

Not a bad film, despite what you may have heard, but there is no doubt it should have been a lot better.

| Original Score: 2.5 | Feb 2, 2005

With gorgeous Hawaiian cinematography, a charming Owen Wilson, and a clever script, I found it eminently enjoyable.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Oct 7, 2004

This movie is all looks and no brains.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Jul 25, 2004

It's sexy, offbeat fun for the most part, but it's way too laid-back for its own good and, in the end, obstinately refuses to be anything more than the sum of its highly promising parts.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 14, 2004

Yet another screen adaptation of an Elmore Leonard novel, but this one just doesn't work.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 26, 2004

Never comes together into anything remotely interesting.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 16, 2004

| Original Score: D+ | Mar 16, 2004

...a dead zone of monstrous proportions that warrants nothing but yawns and groans for all 89 minutes it takes up the screen.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Feb 27, 2004

Despite some inspired casting and a photogenic Hawaiian backdrop, director George Armitage can't imbue the tale with Leonard's unique balance of wit and tension.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 23, 2004

It tends to be bouncy in that flippant, rhythmic attitude, the winkingly self-assuredness so prevalent in the actual assuredness of Get Shorty.

| Original Score: B- | Feb 21, 2004

glides along on the humor of its characters and the inherent intrigue created whenever multiple characters with multiple agendas all appear to be going after the same thing

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 15, 2004

After sitting through this, you'll need a vacation, too.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 14, 2004

When the best thing you can say about a movie is that a handful of actors manage to salvage it from time to time, you're not exactly talking about a great piece of filmmaking.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 14, 2004

Adaptation of Elmore Leonard novel doesn't have much rebound at all, despite a big-name cast.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 13, 2004

Owen Wilson, Charlie Sheen and newcomer Sara Foster are all wrong for Elmore Leonard characters.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 13, 2004
