Despite a ton of good intentions, the picture is numbingly obvious and crushingly sentimental.

Less a worthy achievement than a nice try.

It is a movie that will not only find but charm -- or should we say con? -- a certain kind of audience.

If a movie can coax tears out of me, touch me in a way that the tears flow naturally, more power to it. But stealing my tears by beating me over the head with manipulated schmaltz is a cheat.

There is a clear-cut difference between 'Oscar bait' and 'Oscar worthy,' which Mimi Leder's sentimental crock of a drama illustrates all too well.

A bit syrupy, but sentimental teens may enjoy it.

Spacey and Hunt create interestingly layered characters who are hiding parts of themselves from themselves. And come Oscar time, Osment once again may be saying, 'I see tuxedoed people.'

Not since Gump has there been such a pandering, faux-virtuous package of populist pap for Hollywood to shove in the faces of electioneering politicos and say: Look, we don't just market unwholesome swill to families, we market wholesome swill, too.

The film seems manufactured to furrow a cynic's brow before bringing up their lunch.

With its smorgasbord of moralizings, Pay It Forward is a confusing welter of sentiment.

Ironic, isn't it, that a film about human decency takes place in Vegas?

Unceasingly manipulative.
