3/4	"Clocking in at a mere yet mighty 92 minutes, this superior sequel to 2005�s Fantastic Four skillfully crams loads of action, humor and even (gasp!) character development into its short but sweet flight of comic-book inspired fantasy." Posted Jun 15, 2007	The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007)	35%
2.5/4	"Ferrell�s best laugh-out-loud vehicle since Anchorman." Posted Mar 30, 2007	Blades of Glory (2007)	69%
2/4	"Some viewers may feel as if they�re sharing in the struggle and splendor that leads to a national step-dancing tournament. But the more you�ve seen this sort of inspirational tale before, the less likely you are to be interested in its parade of clich�s." Posted Jan 12, 2007	Stomp the Yard (2007)	27%
2/4	"Any hint of narrative complexity or character development is wiped out by the film�s slavishly straightforward storyline, and its special effects that might be state-of-the-art but never show anything we haven�t seen before. " Posted Dec 15, 2006	Eragon (2006)	16%
1/4	"*There has to be something intrinsically lovable about a hapless character to draw in an audience. That�s what Heder did as misfit-outsider Napoleon Dynamite. And it�s just not happening here." Posted Sep 29, 2006*	School for Scoundrels (2006)	25%
3/4	"*Don�t expect to leave the theater singing -- Nanny McPhee* isn�t a musical -- but you�ll be grinning. You may not even care if your snaggletooth is showing.*" Posted Jan 27, 2006*	Nanny McPhee (2006)	73%
1.5/4	"Everything appears generic and overly simplified, like something you would expect on Nickelodeon -- and that's probably not giving Nickelodeon enough credit." Posted Jan 13, 2006	Hoodwinked (2006)	48%
1.5/4	"There is no hilarity, just a couple of veteran funnymen going through the hellishly predictable motions in this unimaginative and unnecessary sequel." Posted Dec 21, 2005	Cheaper By the Dozen 2 (2005)	6%
1.5/4	"Take away the kinky sex -- the reason for no MPAA rating -- and there�s even less to be interested in." Posted Nov 11, 2005	Where The Truth Lies (2005)	39%
2/4	"*A greater number of humans in peril doesn�t mean better terror in Saw II.* It just means more hammy acting, smashing, yelling, begging, burning, cutting and stabbing.*" Posted Oct 28, 2005*	Saw II (2005)	35%
1.5/4	"Doom borrows gimmicks from other sci-fi/horror movies -- and not very well -- without creating enough of its own to do the trick." Posted Oct 21, 2005	Doom (2005)	19%
2/4	"Like any winning streak, it can�t last. And neither did my interest, mostly because the movie kept telling me something I already knew: Gambling addiction is sad." Posted Oct 7, 2005	Two for the Money (2005)	20%
	"No doubt the star and everyone else involved had their hearts in the right place. Where their heads were is anyone's guess." Posted Feb 15, 2002	John Q (2002)	22%
	"Perhaps the most tasteless comedy ever aimed at a multiplex. At least until the sequel." Posted Dec 15, 2001	Not Another Teen Movie (2001)	28%
	"It's both fascinating and frustrating." Posted Dec 15, 2001	Vanilla Sky (2001)	39%
	"*Despite a few decently manic moments from its goofball star, Black Knight* is a royal waste of time.*" Posted Nov 23, 2001*	Black Knight (2001)	13%
	"Watching [Redford] so winningly wrap himself around an interesting role made me feel as if he'd never left his peak leading-man stature of more than a generation ago." Posted Nov 22, 2001	Spy Game (2001)	65%
	"A comedy that struggles to be both naughty and nice and is effectively neither." Posted Nov 10, 2001	Shallow Hal (2001)	50%
	"*Although it's formulaic to the hilt, Domestic Disturbance* ratchets up the tension like a fine whine.*" Posted Nov 2, 2001*	Domestic Disturbance (2001)	23%
	"Confusing plot holes, cut-out characters and cretinous dialogue undercut the visual feast." Posted Nov 1, 2001	The One (2001)	14%
	"A piece of far-fetched fluff." Posted Oct 25, 2001	On the Line (2001)	18%
	"Give the audience what it wants." Posted Aug 2, 2001	Rush Hour 2 (2001)	51%
	"*Maybe if there was more of Mia and Clarisse knocking about Frisco together and less of Mia and her continual high-school tribulations, The Princess Diaries* as a whole would feel just as special.*" Posted Aug 2, 2001*	The Princess Diaries (2001)	50%
	"A nonstop pleasure for the eye." Posted Jul 26, 2001	Planet of the Apes (2001)	45%
	"A piece of formulaic fluff that will no doubt draw lots of families to the multiplex this Fourth of July holiday." Posted Jul 5, 2001	Cats & Dogs (2001)	54%
	"Kirsten Dunst ... nails her performance as a spoiled 17-year-old screw-up whose dimple-faced charm and youthful exuberance bely a bent for intoxicated self-destruction." Posted Jun 29, 2001	Crazy/Beautiful (2001)	62%
	"Aims too low too often for anybody's good." Posted Jun 22, 2001	Dr. Dolittle 2 (2001)	41%
	"Despite its flaws, this amoral little movie rises to mediocre." Posted Jun 1, 2001	What's The Worst That Could Happen? (2001)	11%
	"The movie's ad campaign would have you believe that the couple's relationship is potentially dangerous. It's not, but it's pretty hard to swallow." Posted May 18, 2001	Angel Eyes (2001)	31%
	"Guaranteed to bring out the wide-eyed, popcorn-munching, let's-go-see-it-again kid in you." Posted May 3, 2001	The Mummy Returns (2001)	47%
	"An amazingly dull movie despite the high number of spectacular car crashes and sexy people on display." Posted Apr 27, 2001	Driven (2001)	13%
	"No matter how many all-too-remarkable twists and turns it puts us through, it still feels too routine." Posted Apr 6, 2001	Along Came a Spider (2001)	31%
	"Expertly cast and wittily written." Posted Mar 30, 2001	Someone Like You (2001)	41%
	"A scattershot shock comedy that bounces between romantic cliche and new-millennium risque to the point of irritation and, all too quickly, boredom." Posted Mar 23, 2001	Say It Isn't So (2001)	9%
	"*If Blow Dry* doesn't succeed with flying curlers, it still has much to offer those who possess a patient sense of humor.*" Posted Mar 8, 2001*	Blow Dry (2001)	19%
	"*Not only is See Spot Run* tasteless, it's devoid of originality.*" Posted Mar 1, 2001*	See Spot Run (2001)	23%
	Isn't so much a story as it is a bunch of situations that boil down to crude jokes and even cruder sight gags. Posted Feb 16, 2001	Head Over Heels (2001)	10%
	"The nagging problem with the movie isn't how dumb or crude it is (which it is) but how cruel it seems." Posted Feb 12, 2001	Saving Silverman (2001)	17%
	"Run-of-the-mill." Posted Jan 12, 2001	Double Take (2001)	13%
	"It's got consistently witty writing, engaging characters, inspired voice acting, jazzy animation and a strong message of brotherly love all wrapped up in a family-friendly bow." Posted Dec 15, 2000	The Emperor's New Groove (2000)	83%
	"*Viewed strictly as the B-movie it is, D&D* is actually more enjoyable as traditional narrative entertainment than the technically dazzling yet dramatically sterile Episode I.*" Posted Dec 8, 2000*	Dungeons & Dragons (2000)	11%
	"*Seems more about propping up the Dalmatians* merchandising franchise than telling even a remotely interesting tale.*" Posted Jan 1, 2000*	102 Dalmatians (2000)	31%
2.5/4	"A film whose seductive glamour shots, over-the-top karate chops and never-ending tight spots play like a cross between the zany camaraderie of the Beatles in Help! and the high-tech martial arts barrage of The Matrix." Posted Jan 1, 2000	Charlie's Angels (2000)	68%
	"The whole thing comes off as a poor man's Robert Altman film, with too many characters who never really get to grow and overlapping story lines that never really mesh." Posted Jan 1, 2000	Duets (2000)	22%
	*I'll take this any day over Scream 3.* Posted Jan 1, 2000	Final Destination (2000)	29%
	Funnier than it is scary, and not very funny at that. Posted Jan 1, 2000	Idle Hands (1999)	14%
	"I couldn't muster more than a self-aware giggle or two while watching." Posted Jan 1, 2000	Little Nicky (2000)	24%
	"A formula picture targeted to the dating crowd." Posted Jan 1, 2000	Loser (2000)	26%
	"These devils can't even make a good movie." Posted Jan 1, 2000	Lost Souls (2000)	7%
	"An adult-oriented comedy that, while hardly reserved, rests its very funny foundation on well-conceived characterization, lively dialogue and good acting." Posted Jan 1, 2000	Meet the Parents (2000)	82%
