Tomato 2.5/4 |
A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
"It often makes your brain hurt, not in a good way -- but by the end, Linklater is redeemed somewhat by the surprising strength of his story." |
Phoebe Flowers |
Tomato |
A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
"A scary, exhilarating, disturbing ride into the murkiest celluloid tunnel of love ever filmed." |
Todd Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
Abandon (2002) |
"We get the sneaking suspicion that internal logic and a credible ending have left the building." |
Todd Anthony |
Tomato 3/4 |
About a Boy (2002) |
"Grant carries the day with impeccable comic timing, raffish charm and piercing intellect." |
Todd Anthony |
Splat 2.5/4 |
About Schmidt (2002) |
"It's a boring movie about a boring man, made watchable by a bravura performance from a consummate actor incapable of being boring." |
Todd Anthony |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Accepted (2006) |
"Lurking somewhere inside the high-concept sloppiness of Accepted is the kernel of a solid comedy." |
Phoebe Flowers |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Adam & Steve (2006) |
"Despite its unevenness, Adam & Steve manages to rise above the bodily function humor in ways that are silly and sincere at the same time." |
Laura Kelly |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Adaptation (2002) |
"Kaufman and Jonze seamlessly blend reality and fantasy into an outrageously original offbeat comedy." |
Todd Anthony |
Splat 1/4 |
Adored - Diary of a Porn Star (2004) |
"The story plays more like a young man's passing daydream of offbeat glory than a drama with realistic bite." |
Laura Kelly |
Tomato |
The Adventures of Felix (2001) |
"The greatest accomplishment of writer-directors Olivier Ducastel and Jacques Martineau is that they can sustain subtle expressions of love, both physical and emotional... while also allowing these same characters to deal with the shortcomings of humanity." |
Laura Kelly |
Splat |
The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000) |
"It’s too smart for kids and too silly for adults." |
Todd Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl in 3-D (2005) |
"3-D is awful. It's annoying, and tiresome, and stupid. If you are an adult, it is bearable for about five minutes, if that. Then you will probably feel the need to close your eyes. Forever." |
Phoebe Flowers |
Tomato 3/4 |
After Innocence (2005) |
"Both sorrowful and uplifting." |
Laura Kelly |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
After the Sunset (2004) |

Tracy Allerton |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
After The Wedding (2007) |
"An emotional masterpiece whose end is impossible to guess." |
Laura Kelly |
Splat 2/4 |
Against the Ropes (2003) |
"Ryan may yet have a movie in her that will match the critical and commercial success of the 15-year-old When Harry Met Sally ..., but Against the Ropes isn't it." |
Phoebe Flowers |
Tomato 3/4 |
Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London (2004) |
"Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London is pure fun." |
Sherri Winston |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Agronomist (2004) |
"Jean Dominique was a man worth remembering, and Demme does him justice." |
Laura Kelly |
Splat 2/4 |
Akeelah and the Bee (2006) |
"Here's a word for you. Can you spell p-r-e-d-i-c-t-a-b-l-e?" |
Laura Kelly |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Alamo (2004) |
"A movie that inspires little but boredom and faint irritation." |
Phoebe Flowers |
Splat 1/4 |
Alex and Emma (2003) |
"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." |
Tom Sander |
Splat 2/4 |
Alexander (2004) |
"Listless, uninspired film." |
Phoebe Flowers |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Alfie (2004) |
"Like its title character, Alfie is a touch too immature to ever fully win you over." |
Phoebe Flowers |
Splat |
Ali (2001) |
"With all due respect to Will Smith, you don't send a Fresh Prince to play a king." |
Todd Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
All About the Benjamins (2002) |
"Witless but watchable." |
Todd Anthony |
Tomato |
All My Loved Ones (2000) |
"It's truly awful and heartbreaking subject matter, but one whose lessons are well worth revisiting as many times as possible." |
Laura Kelly |
Splat 1.5/4 |
All The King's Men (2006) |
"Despite all its exhausting striving, All the King's Men is simply not a great, or even good, movie." |
Phoebe Flowers |
Splat |
All the Pretty Horses (2000) |
"The script meanders like a stray cow." |
Todd Anthony |
Tomato |
Along Came a Spider (2001) |
"Delivers a good share of suspense, thrills and psychological goose bumps." |
Tom Sander |
Splat 2/4 |
Along Came Polly (2004) |
"Clumsy plot developments carried out by characters you already know from a series of other movies." |
Phoebe Flowers |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Amazing Grace (2007) |
"Well-made by Michael Apted, and well-acted all around." |
Laura Kelly |
Splat 1.5/4 |
America's Heart and Soul (2004) |
"America's Heart & Soul feels like nothing more than a conservative-sanctioned propaganda piece meant to inspire a sort of dubious, two-dimensional patriotism." |
Phoebe Flowers |
Tomato |
America's Sweethearts (2001) |
"Imperfect but entertaining, this self-deprecating film flirts with the public’s perception of the Hollywood machine. And flirts are fun." |
Laura Kelly |
Tomato |
American Beauty (1999) |
"American Beauty is one of those rare, penetrating movies that peers so deeply into the façades of perfection to uncover hideous scars that it rivals a masterpiece such as The Graduate." |
Barbara Lester |
Splat 2/4 |
American Hardcore (2006) |
"Hardcore could have done with a little more self-criticism instead of self-congratulation, a little more outside commentary as opposed to inner-circle ramblings." |
Laura Kelly |
Splat |
American Outlaws (2001) |
"Guns down credible acting, believable dialogue and historical accuracy." |
Todd Anthony |
Splat |
American Pie 2 (2001) |
"Exactly what you'd expect -- an uninspired retread with a negligible plot." |
Todd Anthony |
Tomato |
American Psycho (2000) |
"American Psycho is a work of razor-sharp social commentary." |
Todd Anthony |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
American Splendor (2003) |
"Splendor raises the bar on the earlier comic book-inspired efforts by cleverly combining dramatization and documentary." |
Laura Kelly |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Amityville Horror (2005) |
"It's also the first utterly, jaw-clenchingly scary movie of the year." |
Phoebe Flowers |
Tomato |
Amores Perros (2001) |
"Energetic and powerful, Amores Perros captures the surreal culture clashes of Mexico City to the beat of contemporary sounds, from salsa to Mexican rock." |
Enrique Fernandez |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004) |
"A tamer version than the original." |
Phoebe Flowers |
Splat 2/4 |
Analyze That (2002) |
"Some funny business here, a clever one-liner there, good-natured padding in between -- it's all pat and familiar and risk-free." |
Todd Anthony |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) |
"Even if it's not exactly dripping with substance, it's still one of the most distinct comedies to come out this year -- distinctly stupid at times, yes, but also with a fresh and funny voice of its own." |
Phoebe Flowers |
Tomato 3/4 |
Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera (2004) |
"It's an inviting playground for repressed desire of an enduring favorite in pulp fiction to explode anew." |
Jack Zink |
Splat |
Angel Eyes (2001) |
"Di Pego’s script either bores us with long stretches where nothing happens or leaves us shaking our heads in disbelief at its rank inanity." |
Todd Anthony |
Splat |
Angela's Ashes (1999) |
"Angela's Ashes is just too darn wet to catch fire." |
Todd Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
Anger Management (2003) |
"Where are the Farrelly brothers when you need them?" |
Todd Anthony |
Splat 2/4 |
Annapolis (2006) |
"This film is strictly 'plebe' material and should be booted out of theaters on its white-uniformed rear." |
Laura Kelly |
Splat 2/4 |
Another Road Home (2005) |
"It's a documentary of Upstairs Downstairs dimension." |
Laura Kelly |
