I haven't heard anything except "half-baked art films" in regards to:

Whale Rider **1/2
American Splendor **
Matchstick Men *
Lost In Translation **
Once Upon a Time In Mexico *
The Missing *1/2
Mona Lisa Smile 1/2*
Cold Mountain **1/2

I would imagine a large number of movies critics would differ on the idea "half-baked art films" as well as the actors, actresses, producers, directors that worked on these films. Not a very convincing comment to me.
