Coppola and his production team have taken meticulous care to faithfully copy the costumes, production designs, peek-a-boo sexiness and budget-crunched special effects of their source material.

Coppola gives CQ a sense of style and humor that makes the navel-gazing bearable.

There's nothing much to the film besides its pretty-coolness. Fundamentally it goes nowhere and says nothing.

| Original Score: C | Jul 30, 2007

CQ is so enamored of its own stylish, stylized world that it occasionally seems to forget that someone besides Coppola is watching.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 1, 2006

Funny to me, but maybe not for everyone. Hell, I don't care, you're either in the category of the type of person who will like this or you're not. The choice is yours, but anyone pre-disposed to like this type of film will be happy they took the trip.

Roman Coppola's directorial debut "CQ" is a treat. A fluffy delight.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 24, 2003

The movie plays out like a over-budget student film that lacks any of the competence and patience of an experienced director.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 5, 2003

CQ will likely appeal to a younger crowd, who may not catch all the cinematic references but will love the mishmash nature of this cinematic stew.

Love alone does not make a film watchable, no matter how much of it there is. Davies and company are up to the task, but the material is weak. Coppola has a lot of ideas; he just needs to find a more coherent, entertaining way of expressing them.

| Original Score: C | Sep 18, 2002

Lumbering, misguided mess

| Sep 15, 2002

...the sum of the parts equals largely a confused mediocrity.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/10 | Sep 13, 2002

Mildly amusing but ultimately a sloppy, forgettable enterprise.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/10 | Aug 30, 2002

It may not be art, but it's vastly more entertaining than anything Coppola senior has done in far too long.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 25, 2002

Pull[s] off the rare trick of recreating not only the look of a certain era, but also the feel.
