Rotten 1.5/4	Rotten 9%	The Reaping (2007)	" The Reaping isn't completely terrible. It just majorly overreaches." Posted Apr 4, 2007
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 14%	Wild Hogs (2007)	" Throughout the film, John Travolta, Martin Lawrence, et al don't seem to be bonding so much as acting at each other." Posted Mar 1, 2007
Fresh 2.5/4	Rotten 44%	Night at the Museum (2006)	" After a slow start, this feel-good family film is a nice postcard from the Big Apple that may benefit New York and the Museum of Natural History as much as it does 20th Century Fox." Posted Dec 20, 2006
Fresh 2.5/4	Fresh 72%	Flushed Away (2006)	" *Though Flushed Away* certainly aims to please viewers of all ages, it's the anglophiles of all ages who are going to get the most out of the film.**" Posted Nov 3, 2006
Fresh 2.5/4	Rotten 49%	De-Lovely (2004)	" The musical interludes, albeit entertaining, yank the viewer out of the early 20th century. Had the film stayed in its own time, it would have been more de-lovely." Posted Jun 30, 2004
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 22%	Raising Helen (2004)	" A mediocre film at best, but Hudson and the rest of the cast help raise the bar to make it a bit more palatable." Posted May 28, 2004
Fresh 2.5/4	Rotten 55%	The Girl Next Door (2004)	" *With a more focused plotline, The Girl Next Door* might have surpassed its genre. Still, as far as teen sex films go, this one scores.**" Posted Apr 13, 2004
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 27%	The Prince & Me (2004)	" . . . feels more practical than whimsical, more politically correct than sweep-you-off-your-feet romantic." Posted Apr 5, 2004
Rotten 1/4	Rotten 12%	Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London (2004)	" Harmless fare, but as bland as an unsalted water cracker." Posted Mar 16, 2004
Rotten 1.5/4	Rotten 46%	Eurotrip (2004)	" The premise of the film is serviceable, but the execution is flawed and entirely underwhelming." Posted Feb 24, 2004
Fresh 2.5/4	Fresh 75%	Teacher's Pet (2004)	" *While Teacher's Pet* lacks big-budget majesty, it has humor and heart.**" Posted Jan 20, 2004
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 15%	Gothika (2003)	" Deserves credit for embracing the ghost story genre so whole-heartedly, but as any ten-year-old girl can tell you, there's nothing original here to see." Posted Dec 2, 2003
Rotten 2/4	Fresh 62%	Under the Tuscan Sun (2003)	" The clear and simple plot is bogged down by too many characters and too many clich�s." Posted Oct 22, 2003
Rotten 1.5/4	Fresh 62%	Girls Will Be Girls (2003)	" Even the acerbic wit slowly eats away at the story line until, at the end of the 82 minutes, there is little left but an acid-washed Lifetime movie." Posted Oct 22, 2003
Rotten 1.5/4	Rotten 12%	Cold Creek Manor (2003)	" It is difficult to say anything about the plot without giving away the ending, simply because the ending is apparent within the first half hour of the movie." Posted Sep 19, 2003
Fresh 2.5/4	Rotten 42%	The Fighting Temptations (2003)	" The cast is endearing, and despite a ridiculously contrived story line, the film plays like a happily toe-tapping song." Posted Sep 19, 2003
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 13%	Uptown Girls (2003)	" While the movie hits on a bunch of emotional topics, the dialogue veers into the mawkish far more than necessary." Posted Aug 27, 2003
Rotten 0/4	Rotten 6%	Gigli (2003)	" Gigli rhymes with "really." As in "really bad," or "really offensive," or "really wish I�d remembered my gun so I could just shoot myself now and end the misery."" Posted Aug 1, 2003
Fresh 2.5/4	Rotten 38%	On_Line (2002)	" *At its heart, On_Line* is just an old-fashioned movie about people, relationships and making connections in an isolated world. And in this sense, the movie is very successful.**" Posted Jul 1, 2003
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 11%	Alex and Emma (2003)	Click here to read article Posted Jun 24, 2003
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 40%	Rugrats Go Wild (2003)	" *Television-loving children will scream for Rugrats Go Wild!, and in this case, their parents can go ahead and let them�they won't be missing much.*" Posted Jun 23, 2003
Rotten 1.5/4	Rotten 10%	Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd (2003)	" *The easiest way to write a review of Dumb and Dumberer* might be to say that it lives up to its title.**" Posted Jun 23, 2003
Fresh 3/4	Rotten 40%	The Lizzie McGuire Movie (2003)	" Duff is a charming heroine who carries the movie cheerfully, if not gracefully�the pratfalls come early and often." Posted May 6, 2003
Rotten 2/4	Rotten 14%	View from the Top (2003)	" *Though it does not exactly have wings, View from the Top* might be worth a viewing -- particularly when it's next to Sweet Home Alabama on the video rack.**" Posted Mar 25, 2003
Fresh 3/4	Fresh 82%	Amandla: A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony (2003)	" Informative, compelling, and music to the ears." Posted Mar 4, 2003
Fresh 2.5/4	Fresh 67%	Kira's Reason: A Love Story (2003)	" Stengade, in her first leading role, is at once vulnerable and frighteningly manic." Posted Mar 4, 2003
