The movie is one ploddingly ridiculous situation after another, many scenes that easily could have ended up on a cutting room floor somewhere in north Jersey and saved us all a few minutes of our already-overburdened lives, in fact.
Jeff's (the boyfriend) ghost proceeds to follow Balk around for the next hour of the movie, simpering and whining that she killed him and that his body needs a proper burial.
The body is carjacked, left in the back of a stolen pickup, and generally undiscovered while Balk whines and mopes and acts sufficiently ArtGoth for the rest of the movie until she finds the body and decides to die.

 The Morning News - Unloading on The Matrix Reloaded, by Philip Graham
Here’s the main problem, as I see it: After you make a movie that racks up a half-billion dollars nobody, and I mean nobody, says boo to you while you’re sucking in a laughing-gas budget that, like Neo, defies the law of gravity.
Orchestral movie themes just don’t cut it, and when the score for Reloaded starts copping whole sections of Stravinky’s Le Sacre du Printemps, or Philip Glass-ian arpeggios, well, the pretension is thick enough to beat with a conductor’s baton.
I know, I know – the Matrix movies are pretentious, with all those dopey names like Morpheus and Trinity (and how about, for future films, Piety, or Eucharist, or Pompous?), but they should be cool pretentious, with scary guitars and such in the background.

 Leave 'Em Laughing (1928)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
LEAVE 'EM LAUGHING itself is an early LandH comedy, made while they were still finding their style, but there are several very funny moments en route to the memorable, watery finale.
The film consists of three sequences: the boys in their apartment, contending with Stan's toothache and angry landlord Charlie Hall; a trip to the dentist's office, where they are overcome with laughing gas; and the finale, as they try to deal with traffic (and with Officer Kennedy) while helpless with laughter.
That could also be a matter of context: Stan and Ollie are creating a traffic jam, but instead of reacting fearfully they're laughing in the face of the unsmiling cop who doggedly tries to make them follow the rules.

 Laughing Gas (1914)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
It doesn't help that, even making allowances for the poor condition of surviving prints, this movie is difficult to follow (especially towards the end), although my guess is that even if a pristine camera negative of LAUGHING GAS turned up in a vault somewhere it wouldn't make much difference, quality-wise.
Typical gag: Charlie, pretending to be the dentist while his boss is away, flirts with a pretty young patient, then takes a pair of pincers, pinches her nose, and yanks her face over for a kiss.
Silent comedy buffs who want to study Chaplin's work from the very beginning may want to see LAUGHING GAS, but there's no strong reason to seek it out unless you're spoiling for a fight.

 Review: Tomcats   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
With movies like Tomcats, the sex comedy fad of the late '90s and early '00s has now surpassed that of the early '80s when it comes to both mind-numbingly stupid screenplays and crassly unfunny humor.
To that end, this becomes the first movie to have a character chasing a run-away testicle through hallways and staircases.
This might have been effective (it certainly worked in movies like There's Something About Mary and American Pie) if a little more care had been given to (1) giving the characters personalities, (2) spending more time developing the love story, and (3) not saddling us with such a lame series of so-called "romantic complications".
