Splat
2.5/4

A Scanner Darkly (2006)

"Fans of the late sci-fi writer Philip K. Dick may rejoice at the news that Richard Linklater's A Scanner Darkly is the most faithful adaptation of one of his stories to reach the screen. Unfortunately, the story is one of Dick's least cinematic."

Jack Mathews

Tomato
2.5/4

A Tout de Suite (2005)

"Le Besco's vulnerability draws us into her predicament."

Jack Mathews

Tomato
2.5/4

A/K/A Tommy Chong (2005)

"Even those unimpressed with [Cheech and Chong's] genially lowbrow work will be intrigued by the political tenor of this portrait."

Elizabeth Weitzman

Tomato
3/4

Abduction: The Megumi Yokota Story (2007)

"Canadians Chris Sheridan and Patty Kim's spellbinding documentary focuses on the relentless search for the truth by Megumi's parents and families of other abductees."

Jack Mathews

Tomato
4/4

About Schmidt (2002)

"One of the best, most understated performances of [Jack Nicholson's] career."

Jami Bernard

Splat
2/4

Accepted (2006)

"Like its underachieving protagonist, Steve Pink's teen comedy Accepted flashes just enough charm to get by but is too lazy to really make anything of itself."

Elizabeth Weitzman

Splat
2.5/4

Across the Universe (2007)

"The movie is no more than an interesting experiment and a rarity among movie musicals in that even if you enjoy it, you won't want to hear it again."

Jack Mathews

Tomato
2.5/4

Acts of Worship (2001)

"For better and worse, Rosemary Rodriguez's directing debut feels just like what it is -- a drama about addiction made by a recovering addict."

Elizabeth Weitzman

Tomato
2/4

Adam & Steve (2006)

"Co-stars Parker Posey and Chris Kattan offer minor diversions, but the humor never rises to the quality any New Yorker, regardless of sexual orientation, would expect."

Elizabeth Weitzman

Tomato
3/4

Adam's Apples (2007)

"Designed to elicit as many gasps as laughs, Anders Thomas Jensen's pitch-black comedy offers an audaciously skewed take on good vs. evil."

Elizabeth Weitzman

Tomato
3/4

Adored - Diary of a Porn Star (2004)

"A vanity project so preposterous it deserves to become an instant camp hit."

Elizabeth Weitzman

Tomato
3/4

Adrift in Manhattan (2007)

"Adrift is a small film with great humanity and deserves a broader audience than it's likely to get."

Jack Mathews

Tomato
3/5

Adventureland (2009)

"Adventureland earns its edge-of-adulthood sweetness and has characters with real hearts under their goofy T-shirts."

Joe Neumaier

Splat
2/5

Adventures of Power (2009)

"It's not the rough edges that bother here; it's the desperate attempt to capture Napoleon Dynamite's success by relying on oddball characters and off-the-wall scenarios."

Elizabeth Weitzman

Splat
1.5/4

Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl in 3-D (2005)

"The low-tech film looks like a kid's crude drawing, plays like entry-level Game Boy, and is about as nourishing as a Tootsie Pop."

Jack Mathews

Splat
1.5/4

Aeon Flux (2005)

"In the dystopian future, apparently, women will be bendable Barbies in leather scanties, and everyone will speak like brain-dead robots."

Jami Bernard

Tomato
3/5

Afghan Star (2009)

"Fascinating and, when you see Afghan versions of Simon Cowell and Co. reacting to tryouts, a reminder of how fame and the thirst for it is the same in any language."

Joe Neumaier

Tomato
2.5/4

After Innocence (2005)

"A powerful indictment of a judicial system too anxious to close cases, and then close ranks when someone tries to reopen them."

Jack Mathews

Tomato
3/4

After Midnight (2004)

"A loving tribute to the moving image."

Robert Dominguez

Tomato
3.5/4

After the Life (2002)

"We're treated to two smashing performances from Morel and Blanc."

Jack Mathews

Splat
1.5/4

After the Sunset (2004)

"When the movie can tear itself away from Lola, it's more of a buddy comedy than a heist film, and a bad one at that."

Jack Mathews

Tomato
3/4

After The Wedding (2007)

"The characters may suffer once the bride walks down the aisle, but [director] Bier, [writer] Jensen and their first-rate cast work together like a match made in heaven."

Elizabeth Weitzman

Splat
3/4

Against the Ropes (2003)

"As a boxing movie, Against the Ropes is perfunctory... As a biopic, it's likewise uninspired stuff."

Jami Bernard

Tomato
2.5/4

Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London (2004)

"With lots of cool gadgets, plenty of silliness and a clever concept guaranteed to appeal to preteens, this should be an unflagging, high-octane romp."

Elizabeth Weitzman

Tomato
3/4

The Aggressives (2005)

"In a movie that deals with controversial sexual, racial and class issues, the boldest observation is the most basic: that we each have the right to define our own realities, and live comfortably within them."

Elizabeth Weitzman

Tomato
2.5/4

Agnes and His Brothers (2006)

"Whenever he takes the time to line up his toxic arrows, usually with the help of a compellingly squirmy Bleibtreu, he hits the bull's-eye."

Elizabeth Weitzman

Tomato
3/4

Aileen: The Life and Death of a Serial Killer (2003)

"The filmmaker's ego and ethics aside, there's no denying the power of Wuornos' behavior here."

Jack Mathews

Splat
2/4

The Air I Breathe (2007)

"I can't fault any of the actors for anything other than bad judgment. Their performances are fine, but a good fortune cookie might have told them to stay away from this."

Jack Mathews

Tomato
3/4

Akeelah and the Bee (2006)

"... Palmer -- and J.J. Villarreal, as her unflappable fellow contestant and first-blush romantic interest -- makes it all go down very easily."

Jack Mathews

Splat
2.5/4

Al Franken: God Spoke (2006)

"But Kerry did not win, and for Franken fans, the target audience here, the memory of that event may hurt too much to laugh."

Jack Mathews

Tomato
3/4

Al Otro Lado (2006)

"We're left unable to get the music -- and the musicians -- out of our heads."

Elizabeth Weitzman

Tomato
3/4

The Alamo (2004)

"Alamo buffs will be delighted, and everyone else will be treated to something that feels like Old Hollywood crossed with new sensibilities."

Jami Bernard

Splat
2/4

Alex and Emma (2003)

"Wan humor, no spark."

Jami Bernard

Splat
2.5/4

Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker (2006)

"It's one thing to imagine ordering a shaken martini; it's another to be handed a Shirley Temple."

Jack Mathews

Splat
2/4

Alexander (2004)

"Farrell plays all this as if he means it, but he seems slight in the role and without great physical presence."

Jack Mathews

Splat
2/4

Alfie (2004)

"The major difference between the two movies is that Caine's Alfie represented a threatened breed of opportunistic man, while Law's comes off as a typical commitment-challenged bachelor."

Jack Mathews

Tomato
3/4

Alice's House (2007)

"Some stories, Teixeira is wise enough to realize, are best left unadorned."

Elizabeth Weitzman

Splat
1/5

Alien Trespass (2009)

"This lazy effort gets points only for truly loving -- perhaps to a fault -- the cheapo creature flicks of the 1950s."

Joe Neumaier

Splat
1/4

Alien vs. Predator (2004)

"The actual fights between the predators and the serpents are too silly to contemplate. Both shiny and metallic, they look like kitchen appliances fighting it out."

Jack Mathews

Splat
2.5/4

Aliens of the Deep (2005)

"We're treated to more intramural banter and golly-gee chatter among the crew than we can use, and are not given enough scientific information."

Jack Mathews

Splat
1/5

All About Steve (2009)

"Since Bullock coproduced this masochistic venture, it seems she buys into the idea that fluffer-nut ditziness is what she does best. Except it isn't."

Joe Neumaier

Splat
2/4

All The King's Men (2006)

"Failures on the scale of writer-director Steven Zaillian's All the King's Men are as rare as falling sequoias, and they make a noise even if no one's in the woods to hear them."

Jack Mathews

Tomato
3/4

Almost Peaceful (2004)

"It may appear to be the ultimate non-action ­movie, but in the context of these lives, it is the highest kind of ­drama."

Jack Mathews

Splat
1/4

Alone in the Dark (2005)

"Alone in the Dark is no better than whatever you might pick up while wearing a blindfold at Blockbuster, even if you happen to reach into a trash can."

Jack Mathews

Tomato
3/4

Alone With Her (2007)

"Alone With Her has the kind of high ick factor that leaves you squirming -- not because Doug is so diabolical a creation, but because what he does to satisfy his pathology is so practical."

Jack Mathews

Splat
2/4

Along Came Polly (2004)

"Tame and predictable, with the gastric-distress sound-effects machine working overtime."

Jami Bernard

Splat
2/4

Alpha Dog (2007)

"Who would have thought that a real-life tale of sex, drugs and murder could be so instantly forgettable?"

Elizabeth Weitzman

Splat
1.5/4

Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007)

"Oh, come on. Do you really care? And even if you do, you shouldn't."

Elizabeth Weitzman

Splat
2/4

An Amazing Couple (2002)

"Can be easily skipped."

Jack Mathews

Tomato
3/4

Amazing Grace (2007)

"Michael Apted's compelling and highly informative Amazing Grace is an apt celebration of America's Black History Month, even though its story takes place in England."

Jack Mathews
