Movie Review: 'R.I.P.D.' May be D.O.A.

by Ann Marie Quill

"R.I.P.D." is rated PG-13 and runs 1 hours and 36 minutes.

Here's what the critics are saying:

R.I.P.D. arrives in a state of advanced rigor mortis. Except for an enjoyably lip-smacking, scenery-and-CGI-chewing, Old West-guy performance by Jeff Bridges, who by now must have played more Western characters than any other actor of his generation, this is a second-rate special effects-dominated 3D entry that will join several prominent would-be blockbusters that need not be mentioned on the summer junk heap. — Todd McCarthy, The Hollywood Reporter

Thank heavens . . . for Jeff Bridges, whose hilariously free-associative performance as a 19th-century frontier marshal-turned-21st-century undead lawman is like an adrenaline shot to the heart of “R.I.P.D.” — Scott Foundas, Variety

While Bridges chews the scenery with his garrulous Southern-accented chatter, Reynolds is too restrained. There's little sign of the easy charm, intelligence and affability both actors are known for. — Claudia Puig, USA Today
