diane lane 's sophisticated performance ca n't rescue adrian lyne 's unfaithful from its sleazy moralizing . | negative |
a piece of mildly entertaining , inoffensive fluff that drifts aimlessly for 90 minutes before lodging in the cracks of that ever-growing category : unembarrassing but unmemorable . | negative |

a seriously bad film with seriously warped logic by writer-director kurt wimmer at the screenplay level . | negative |
the film is strictly routine . | negative |
-lrb- soderbergh -rrb- tends to place most of the psychological and philosophical material in italics rather than trust an audience 's intelligence , and he creates an overall sense of brusqueness . | negative |

what could have been right at home as a nifty plot line in steven soderbergh 's traffic fails to arrive at any satisfying destination . | negative |

a movie that ca n't get sufficient distance from leroy 's delusions to escape their maudlin influence . | negative |

ultimately ... the movie is too heady for children , and too preachy for adults . | negative |
