Tomato 3.5/4 |
A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
"The result is less than a masterpiece but much, much more than the typical movie fare." |

Splat 2/4 |
Abandon (2002) |
"A sleep-inducing thriller with a single twist that everyone except the characters in it can see coming a mile away." |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
About a Boy (2002) |
"This is one of the few movies that I almost wished were longer. I loved these new friends, and I was sorry to see them go." |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
About Schmidt (2002) |
"It will probably capture another Oscar nomination for Nicholson, who is best in the role when he is completely silent." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Absent-Minded Professor (1961) |
"The original's simple humor looks remarkably tired compared with the story's energetic and much more inventive remake." |

Tomato 3/4 |
Absolute Hundred (2001) |
"A moving piece of cinema that is both a thriller and a touching story of brotherly love." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Absolute Power (1997) |
"Besides the ridiculousness of the plot, some of the acting is terrible. Embarrassingly bad as the President, Hackman wastes his great talent on a poorly written character." |

Accepted (2006) |
"It is never a bad movie, and it does have its moments, but it just never adds up to much. ... Wait and see it for free on cable." |

Accidental Hero: Room 408 (2002) |
"As admirable as Mr. Lindsey's dedication and accomplishments are, the documentary about his work is quite bland." |

The Accidental Spy (2002) |
"Exhilarating, funny and fun." |

Splat 1/4 |
Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994) |
"Without any of the refinements he has shown in some of his latter films, Jim Carrey, as Ace Ventura, keeps the humor in this one insufferably crude." |
Steve Rhodes |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Across the Universe (2007) |
"Thoroughly entertaining and delightfully tuneful, this fun little film will have you singing to yourself for days afterwards." |

Adam (2009) |
"Adam is easily one of the best pictures of the year. ... As I left the theater, the world seemed like it had somehow become a better place." |

Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights (2002) |

Adoration (2009) |
"Writer and director Atom Egoyan is a cinematic master at creating incredibly sad and affecting tone poems to life's morose moments." |

The Adventures of Felix (2001) |
"The picture is about as memorable as a nondescript television soap opera, which is something that the lead character dotes upon." |

Adventures of Milo and Otis (1989) |
"Granted this is a film aimed at the younger set, say ages 3-6, but still I would have hoped for more." |

The Adventures of Pinocchio (1996) |
"If there is a single reason why this version works so well, it has to be the design of the visual effects (Angus Bickerton) for Pinocchio." |

The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000) |
"Pity the poor toons stuck with such two-dimensional, (so-called) live-action figures." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 2/4 |
The Adventures of Sebastian Cole (1999) |
"The filmmaker shows no talent at storytelling, leaving the movie to live or die on the basis of the characters it creates. And none of them, save Hank/Henrietta, are compelling." |

Aeon Flux (2005) |
"Neither cheesy fun nor laughably bad, it is just lifelessly dull." |

Affliction (1997) |
"Better bring an extra wrap with you to Affliction, as the snowy New Hampshire landscapes and the chilling story will likely send some shivers up your spine." |
Steve Rhodes |

After Sex (1997) |
"an unusual film about human sexual relations - both because it's told completely from the woman's perspective and because it shows graphically but always tastefully the heat of passion." |

After the Sunset (2004) |
"You've seen this movie many times before, but After the Sunset is kind of fun nonetheless." |

Against the Ropes (2003) |
"It stars a horribly miscast Meg Ryan in another of her awkward attempts to broaden her acting horizons." |

Akeelah and the Bee (2006) |
"An uplifting film about a ghetto child who makes good, but the script is marred by several extremely contrived and needlessly schmaltzy moments. ... Spellbound is so much better." |
