WASHINGTON -- The 1-800-311-4CCC movie line reviews She's All That for the week of February 5-11. Also included on the toll-free line is a review of Mulan, this week's suggested home video for family viewing.

The 800 movie review line is a project of the Catholic Communication Campaign (CCC).

The February 5-11 list includes the following theater releases and their classifications according to moral suitability. Movies are evaluated according to artistic merit and moral suitability by the U.S. Bishops' Office for Film and Broadcasting.

• She's All That -- Because of an implied affair, some sexual references, brief alcohol abuse and few instances of profanity and rough language, the U.S. Catholic Conference classification is A-III -- adults. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is PG-13 -- parents are strongly cautioned that some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. She's All That is a predictable teen romance in which a handsome senior, after being dumped by his glamorous girlfriend, tries to transform the class loner into a popular beauty before prom night. The story is all too familiar, the self-absorbed adolescents have the depth of cardboard and the laughs are hollow.

• Playing by Heart -- Because of sexual situations, brief alcohol abuse, intermittent rough language and occasional profanity, the U.S. Catholic Conference classification is A-III -- adults. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is R -- restricted. Playing by Heart follows the floundering romantic relationships of five couples until they all come together at a marriage renewal ceremony, by which time each couple has learned to cope with their problems. Much is made of the surprise connections tying the characters together but that's the least interesting aspect of the sentimental story.

• Simply Irresistible -- Because of sexual innuendo, crude language and some profanity, the U.S. Catholic Conference classification is A-III -- adults. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is PG-13 -- parents are strongly cautioned that some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. Simply Irresistible is a leaden romantic fantasy in which troubled restaurant owner Sarah Michelle Gellar is turned by magic into a gourmet chef whose cooking sweeps store executive Sean Patrick Flanery literally off his feet. The premise fails to spark any magic in a romance beset by comic complications too labored to be amusing.

• At First Sight -- Because of restrained bedroom scenes, a flash of nudity, some profanity and an instance of rough language, the U.S. Catholic Conference classification is A-III -- adults. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is PG-13 -- parents are strongly cautioned that some material may be inappropriate for children under 13. At First Sight is a fact-based drama in which the blind Val Kilmer, at the urging of his girlfriend Mira Sorvino, undergoes an operation which restores his sight but causes other difficulties that jeopardize their relationship and his former sense of security. While overly sentimental, the romantic drama becomes emotionally involving as it explores the unexpected pitfalls of a sudden, drastic change in lifestyle.

• Payback -- Because of excessive violence, exploitative sexual situations, drug abuse, intermittent profanity and much rough language, the U.S. Catholic Conference classification is O -- morally offensive. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is R -- restricted. Payback is a mindless action movie featuring Mel Gibson as a mad-dog killer seeking revenge on those who hijacked his loot and left him for dead. The movie's sadistic violence is depicted in jokey fashion intended to make the killer seem a supercool hero.

• Varsity Blues -- Because of sexual situations, nudity, alcohol abuse, intermittent rough language and occasional profanity, the U.S. Catholic Conference classification is O -- morally offensive. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is R -- restricted. Varsity Blues tells a hokey formula tale of how high school football players come to dump their mean, dishonest coach in the middle of the championship game. Most of the bogus proceedings, however, are devoted to the teen's activities off the field, principally their drunken hijinks and quest for sex.

The family video of the week is Mulan -- The U.S. Catholic Conference classification is A-I -- general patronage. The Motion Picture Association of America rating is G -- general audiences. Mulan is an animated feature set in ancient China where a rebellious daughter disguises herself as a man to fight invading Huns in place of her sickly father. The 1998 Disney release offers a musical tale of female empowerment in which romance plays second fiddle to issues of self-identity, honor and patriotism.

The classifications are A-I - general patronage; A-II - adults and adolescents; A-III - adults; A-IV - adults, with reservations (an A-IV classification designates problematic films that, while not morally offensive in themselves, require caution and some analysis and explanation as a safeguard against wrong interpretations and false conclusions); O - morally offensive.

The movie reviews are produced by the U.S. Catholic Conference (USCC) Office for Film and Broadcasting, which each week provides full length movie reviews, brief capsules and film classifications of new theater releases.

Reviewers include Henry Herx, Director, and Gerri Pare, Associate Director, of the Film and Broadcasting Office, which is funded by the CCC.

The capsule reviews are available on the World Wide Web. They can be found on two sites: http://www.usccb.org and http://www.catholicdigest.org/stops/movies/index.html.
