The film deserves respect for the subject matter, but it sticks too closely to clichés and lacks dynamic storytelling when depicting Politkovskaya’s life.

Miyagi's somewhat unorthodox karate-teaching methods are explained as being partly inspired by a trip to China, where he presumably became friends with Chan's Mr. Han.

The film uses Austen as more of an entry point into a broader, comfortingly clever story about a 21st-century woman who navigates familiar emotional dilemmas.

I showed it to my 17-year-old son and he was mildly horrified. Now that three decades have passed since its release, I think we can all agree that Larry Clark's Kids was not a good film.

Honey Don't! feels like a challenge, daring the audience to decide if it's just goofy, just horny, or just diverting enough to make up for how it runs out of gas long before the credits roll.

As a character says in this homage to a thrilling, occasionally bone-crushing sport, "What a bull."

"The joy of adventure is more valuable than whatever prize they're seeking... this movie just aimlessly wanders toward a dull, predictable ending."
