An American Carol (2008) |
"If you're not with 'us' you're with 'them' -- a premise that should offend anyone regardless of political affiliation, yet this movie buys into it." |

American Dreamz (2006) |
"If the comedy didn't have its fair share of moments, it could easily be seen as failure; fortunately, a handful of game actors ... saves it as something that's mostly enjoyable." |

American Gangster (2007) |
"Too low-key to seize hold of the imagination, 'American Gangster' is divided against itself, stylistically and story-wise." |
John P. McCarthy |
Tomato |
American Gun (2006) |
"'American Gun' takes the wise step of looking not at a particular school massacre, but at those intimately affected." |
Donald J. Levit |

An American Haunting (2006) |

American Splendor (2003) |

American Teen (2008) |
"'American Teen' is a thoroughly absorbing glimpse into the lives of teenagers. It reminds us of a time that was, for many, fraught with painful experiences." |

An Education (2009) |

Frank Wilkins |

Analyze That (2002) |
"Provides the kind of 'laugh therapy' I need from movie comedies -- offbeat humor, amusing characters, and a happy ending. After seeing 'Analyze That,' I feel better already." |

Angels & Demons (2009) |

Annapolis (2006) |
"'Annapolis' assembles just about every cliche ever included in an Army movie and merely moves them to a different division of the military." |
