1/4
 
" The laughs are few and brief, the pace crawls, the plot gets tedious and downright annoying and the romantic chemistry between the two stars fizzles."
Posted Jun 20, 2003
 
Alex and Emma (2003)10%
/
1.5/4
 
" Disappointing, mediocre and preposterously cartoonish, Hollywood Homicide tries hard but ultimately fails to rise above its bland old cop/young cop /bickering buddies cliché movie origins."
Posted Jun 13, 2003
 
Hollywood Homicide (2003)29%
/
1/4
 
" Preteen and teen girls who are among J.Lo's biggest fans may swoon over all this glop, but more discerning viewers may just want to scrape their shoes clean."

Maid in Manhattan (2002)41%
/
1/4

3/4

2.5/4

Bad Company (2002)10%
/
2.5/4
 
" A fine, rousing, G-rated family film, aimed mainly at little kids but with plenty of entertainment value to keep grown-ups from squirming in their seats."
Posted May 24, 2002
 
Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron (2002)68%
/
1.5/4

Enigma (2002)73%
/
3/4

The Rookie (2002)82%
/
2/4
 
" Generally, Clockstoppers will fulfill your wildest fantasies about being a different kind of time traveler, while happily killing 94 minutes."
Posted Mar 29, 2002
 
Clockstoppers (2002)28%
/
2.5/4

Posted Mar 15, 2002
 
Resident Evil (2002)34%
/
1/4
 
" The filmmakers have made a blatant piece of hard-core, unapologetic, heavy-handed political propaganda, one that whips viewers into a frenzy."
Posted Feb 14, 2002
 
John Q (2002)22%
/
 
" Plays like a bad blend of an overripe episode of TV's Dawson's Creek and a recycled and dumbed-down version of Love Story."

Hearts in Atlantis (2001)48%
/
 
" Filled with plot holes and lacks the special oomph needed to elevate it beyond its B-movie status."
Posted Sep 27, 2001
 
Don't Say a Word (2001)23%
/
 
" Thrilling, mindless, popcorn-crunching entertainment that will get your adrenaline pumping, put a smile on your face and make you long for a time when a sword was more natural to carry than a cell phone."
Posted Sep 6, 2001
 
The Musketeer (2001)10%
/
 
" With everybody going nutso, there’s nobody to root for, and the film eventually runs out of steam with a dopey feel-good climax."
Posted Aug 16, 2001
 
Rat Race (2001)43%
/
 
" In Dumb and Dumber and There’s Something About Mary, the Farrellys’ gross-out humor generally made you laugh; here it mainly makes you gag and cringe."

Posted Jun 21, 2001
 
Dr. Dolittle 2 (2001)41%
/
 
" Has a raw, insightful, sometimes painful reality that cuts way deeper than many glossy fictional dramas."
Posted Jun 21, 2001
 
Startup.com (2001)92%
/
 
" You know a comedy film’s in trouble when the biggest laughs don’t come from the two big-name stars, but from the lowest-ranked supporting actor and an unknown bit player."
Posted May 31, 2001
 
What's The Worst That Could Happen? (2001)11%

Posted Dec 27, 2000
 
Finding Forrester (2000)74%
/
 
" Much of the time, the film is frothy, sweet and light as cotton candy, benefiting from first-rate ensemble acting, cinematography and directing."
Posted Dec 22, 2000
 
Chocolat (2000)62%
/
 
" It comes across as shrill, contrived and forced."
Posted Dec 21, 2000
 
Miss Congeniality (2000)37%
/

Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
102 Dalmatians (2000)30%
/
 
Funnier, more entertaining and less exploitative than you might expect.
Posted Jan 1, 2000
 
Bring It On (2000)63%
/
 
What you get is more than enough to justify the ticket price: outrageous jokes, pratfalls and gags in a nonstop gross-out comedy that is a hoot from start to finish.

" Bring plenty of Kleenex."
Posted Jan 1, 2000
