Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Happily, beneath the film's nostalgic veneer and tooth-rattling visual and aural effects lies a mature ambiguity that's unusual for a holiday blockbuster.

rotten:
A yawn, and the two glamour boys (who, by the way, look awful) are both snoring.

rotten:
It's clever and shows great control of craft, but it doesn't care, and so it's hard for us to care about.

fresh:
I'll admit the main story is implausible, but the flashbacks were spectacular, and the cast is really good here.
