Among the most troubling elements of 'Knowing' are its dark cinematography, outlandish plot, and a less-than-memorable performance by Nicolas Cage." Posted Jul 11, 2009 05:43 AM PDT | Betty Jo Tucker,

Silly, highly contrived and far from a classic, but it's ultimately a harmless comedic adventure with a terrific cast and plenty of mindless fun that should please its target audience: teenagers." Posted Jul 11, 2009 01:14 AM PDT | Avi Offer,

Get ready for more shock waves. With Bruno, Sacha Baron Cohen again pushes the sociopolitical comedy envelope as far as he can." Posted Jul 11, 2009 12:38 AM PDT | Kit Bowen,

Unless you are really, really, really, really difficult to offend, you will be upset by something in this film. Seriously, count the "really"s. Do the math. Prepare yourself. Sacha Baron Cohen does not pull punches. If you were disturbed by BORAT, you are" Posted Jul 11, 2009 12:34 AM PDT | Jenna Busch,

Brilliant or obscure? Engaging or pretentious? Intense performances, artistic cinematography, ambitious editing and eclectic music are the filmic elements, but obtuse storytelling with almost incomprehensible dialogue completes the picture" Posted Jul 10, 2009 11:06 PM PDT | Louise Keller,

There's no denying Nia Vardalos' appeal as the stitched up Greek tour guide lacking in people skills who discovers there is romance in more than classical history, but it is all too simplistic and contrived" Posted Jul 10, 2009 11:05 PM PDT | Louise Keller,
