Part 1
★★ (out of ★★★★)
Nationwide - The decision by studio Summit to expand the novel, "Breaking
Dawn," into two features really does strike one as desperate and
uncalled-for. They clearly aren't ready to say good-bye to the blockbuster
franchise, but that doesn't take away the nagging feeling that "Breaking
Dawn Part 1" is stretched as thin as a run-on sentence.

★★★ (out of ★★★★)
Select Cities - Tough, touching and unsentimental, writer-director Alexander
Payne's low-key hymn to loving, losing and learning to move on is a pleasing
addition to an impressive oeuvre. With any luck, he won't go another seven
years between projects.

★★ (out of ★★★★)
Nationwide - Only the series' bread and butter-the song-and-dance
performances-are able to occasionally buoy the flagging energy. When the
music stops, "Happy Feet Two" flounders.
