Search: Starring Justin Timberlake

Cassavetes could easily have made all this into a dead serious finger-wagging morality tale of wasted youth. Fortunately, he realises the potential for jet-black comedy.

On the one hand, Rae's feelings of lust are presented as unhealthy and a product of abuse; on the other, the audience is encouraged to lust over her.

The surprise here is Cool J, who puts in perhaps his best performance to date.

It's the sort of film that couples should enjoy equally; there's serious eye candy whatever your preference, and the film's energy and good humour is infectious.

A shallow, stagnant film that whiffs of plagiarism.

The pace may seem deliberate but the Coens obviously want us to uncover the character's layers gently rather than him being delivered ready-made.

Myers may be wearing strange clothes, he may have a comedy beard, and he may make jokes about flatulence and groinal injury at every opportunity, but that's about the limit of his range.

Natural talent cannot entirely make up for lack of training and experience.

The script, like Shrek, is flabby and going to seed.

With their Day-Glo colours, singing and attitude to hugging, this is probably one of the few animations that will simultaneously appeal to the very young, any parents nostalgic for rave culture and grandparents who tuned in and dropped out.

When Allen foregoes his crutches, any kind of movie seems possible.

There are no real scares here but there's still a sense of adventure and the villains are suitably mean.
