A/K/A Tommy Chong |

"What could have been either a scathing critique of the drug war or an intimate portrait of a stoner facing mortality instead comes off as a fawning infomercial for its subject." | |

The Abandoned (2007) |

Abduction: The Megumi Yokota Story (2007) |

"This is a fascinating, underreported piece of recent world history, but Patty Kim and Chris Sheridan's documentary Abduction: The Megumi Yokota Story doesn't do it full justice." | |

Agnes and His Brothers (2006) |

Akeelah and the Bee (2006) |
|
"If [director] Atchison's well-acted, good-intentioned crowd-pleaser can trick even one moviegoer into thinking that knowledge and spelling are somehow cool, then his film will be performing a societal good that offsets its slack reliance on formula." | |

Al Franken: God Spoke (2006) |

"A fascinating combination of class clown and fact-happy debate-club president, Franken nonetheless makes for a compelling subject, but God Spoke veers uncomfortably into hagiography, especially as it winds down." | |
