It is a childish world seen through the ponderous eyes of adulthood. All the children in it, including Elijah Wood as North, seem over-directed, reacting with programmed cuteness. Their lines have a hack's glibness rather than a child's innocence.

Have you ever seen a rich Texan before? How about a Hawaiian who lives near a beautiful beach?

The amalgams of 온라인카지노추천 stereotypes that satirize foreign and regional cultures are embarrassing.

Full Review | Jul 9, 2013

There's schmaltz a-plenty and the odd, rare laugh but even the normally dependable Wood lacks enthusiasm.

The screenplay by Alan Zweibel and Andrew Scheinman packs more on-target social satire than any film in recent memory, and zesty performances keep it clicking along at a rapid pace.

Unfunny. Boring. Endless.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jun 5, 2013

Unfortunately, although Zweibel and Reiner have crafted a fascinating parable, they have failed to make a successful film.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 5, 2013

It's a prime example of what can happen when hip, slightly cynical establishment filmmakers try to make a deeply sentimental movie.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 5, 2013

How could director Rob Reiner, whose touch for what pleases a mass audience is usually unfailing, have strayed this far?

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jun 5, 2013

It's rather surprising to note that - for its first half, at least - North is actually quite engaging and entertaining...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 9, 2011

The intrinsic failure of Alan Zweibel and Andrew Scheinman's script is that it tips its hand from the start.

Reiner is undecided just how fantastically he should treat this ludicrous plotline. Added to which there's a dire musical number, a silly thriller subplot, and much maudlin didacticism from narrator Willis in various guardian angel (dis)guises. Misery.

"North"? This movie sinks due south, deep into ground oblivion.

I happen to LIKE Bruce Willis in a bunny suit!

Elijah Wood is very lucky that a certain hobbit trilogy came along to clear his record of this turd.

A brain-dead curiosity piece.
