Rotten
This just might be the silliest movie ever to feature three Academy Award winners.
Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper
Overview
One night, five teens and a deck of cards. Deception. Revenge. Sex. And it's all about to explode.

Top critics, in their words
Rotten
Leave it to coproducer Jerry Bruckheimer to revive the Indiana Jones cycle without the period setting, the camp elements, or Spielberg's efficiency; director Jon Turteltaub just plods along.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Rotten
This sequel is what you would expect: If you liked the original, you'll probably enjoy this retread. But be warned: It bogs down in a drawn-out scene near the end.
Claudia Puig, USA Today
Rotten
As much as you want to applaud the movie's winking commitment to its own Looney Tunes logic, it's frustrating when lazy and illogical plot devices are used like cattle prods.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Rotten
The movie's convoluted hide-and-seek plot also demands a White House break-in that makes about as much sense as subprime mortgage rates.
Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times
