With only a 50 % Fresh rating on Rotten Tomato plants, 'Extremely Noisy and extremely Close' -- in regards to a youthful boy (Thomas Horn) whose father (Tom Hanks) died within the terrorist attacks on Sept. 11 -- has presented a viciousness in experts the kind of which has not been seen since 'Jack and Jill.'

Never has got the tragedy of 9/11 occurred so shrinky-dinked." -- Stephanie Zacharek, Movieline "[I]t will be 'too soon' for 'Extremely Noisy And Extremely Close,' which processes the immense grief of the city along with a family via a conceit so nauseatingly precious it's in some way both too literary and too sentimental, cloying yet aestheticized inside an inch of their existence.

Club "[Thomas Horn has] a hopeless role within an impossible movie which has pointless to be apart from as the second pop-culture palliative for any trauma it cannot bear to manage. In reality, 'Extremely Noisy & Incredibly Close' is not about Sept. 11. It comes down to our desire to empty on that day of their specificity and transform it into another wellspring of generic feelings: sadness, loneliness, happiness. This is the way kitsch works. It exploits familiar images, whether young puppies or babies -- or, as with the situation of the movie, the twin towers -- and attempts to make us feel great, even virtuous, simply about feeling. And, yes, you might cry, however when tears are milked because they are here, the truer response ought to be rage." -- Manhola Dargis, NY Occasions Yikes. Which critic was the meanest?
