R-Point (2006) |
"The biggest problem in 'R-Point' results from the fact that none of the characters are made discernable from one another." |

Racing Stripes (2005) |
"Tries to be too many things -- inspirational family adventure, buddy comedy and gross-out comedy all at the same time." |
Robert Ford |
Tomato |
Radio (2003) |
"Like its title character, Radio broadcasts at a low, pleasant frequency." |
John P. McCarthy |

Rain Man (1988) |
"The trip begins both a journey to discovery and an amusing window into watching two brothers, totally different in every way, who oppose each other and then connect in a powerful way." |
Diana Saenger |
Tomato |
Rain Man (1988) |

Raise Your Voice (2004) |

Raising Helen (2004) |
"A heartwarming comedy that makes you think as well as laugh." |

Raja (2004) |

Rambo (2008) |
"Stallone still looks terrrific, but 'Rambo' spends too much time showing how much carnage the big screen can take." |
Betty Jo Tucker |

Rambo (2008) |
"No matter how reluctant and torn the killer, 'Rambo' is an apologia for brute force." |
John P. McCarthy |

Ran (1985) |
"Visually exciting, includes outstanding acting by a fine cast, and tells a compelling tale about ambition, betrayal and revenge." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Tomato |
Rana's Wedding (2002) |
"Like 'Divine Intervention,' 'Rana's Wedding' depicts the madness of macabre non sequitur that rules the daily lives of Palestinians living in Jerusalem." |
Donald J. Levit |
Tomato |
Random Hearts (1999) |
"Kristin Scott Thomas's elegant femininity contrasts perfectly with Harrison Ford's bruised machismo in this mature romantic drama." |
Betty Jo Tucker |

Ratatouille (2007) |
"Remy, the rodent hero of Ratatouille, may not be as cute as Mickey Mouse, but he grows on you -- blue fur and all." |

Ray (2004) |
"Suffers from over-emphasis on personal demons, too many flashbacks and a tacked-on ending -- but Jamie Foxx is incredible." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Tomato |
Ray (2004) |
"An emphatically entertaining, toe-tapping cautionary tale about how drug addiction is more crippling than any physical handicap." |
John P. McCarthy |

Read It and Weep (2006) |
"'Read It and Weep' emphasizes the same 'fame stinks' story we've seen more times than we can count. Not an ounce of freshness is brought to the table." |

The Real Cancun (2003) |
"Forget The Ring...The 'hot bod' scene here is much scarier." |

The Reaping (2007) |

The Reaping (2007) |

REC (2007) |
"It's hard to care about what's going on when the most motivation characters receive involves 'run,' 'scream,' and 'be eaten.'" |

Reconstruction (2004) |
"A strong and unusual screenplay overcomes the film's emphasis on techinque." |
Donald J. Levit |
Splat 5/10 |
Red Cliff (2009) |
"Woo had the chance of a lifetime ... to film one of the greatest Chinese stories, and blew it by tinkering with it so much that not only is it no longer the story many of us know and love, it's also a version that can't even be considered on par." |
Jeffrey Chen |
Tomato |
Red Dragon (2002) |
"Interacting eyeball-to-eyeball and toe-to-toe, Hopkins and Norton are a winning combination -- but Fiennes steals 'Red Dragon' right from under their noses." |
Betty Jo Tucker |
Tomato |
Red Eye (2005) |
"With their riveting performances in 'Red Eye,' Cillian Murphy and Rachel McAdams are on the way to A-list movie stardom." |

Red Lights (2004) |
"Admirable in its cinematographic conception, but too many minor characters introduce aspects that need explaining but are ignored." |
Donald J. Levit |
Tomato |
Red Road (2007) |
"This flawed but arresting film boasts an 'atmospheric and intense thriller' air and intentionally leaves minor points open to stimulate discussion." |
Donald J. Levit |

Redacted (2007) |
"'Redacted' is effective in atmosphere and in making a point, obvious as that is." |

Redline (2007) |
"'Redline' takes all the fun out of racing cars, mostly due to its main characters being oblivious or apathetic toward the damage they're causing." |

Redneck Comedy Roundup (2005) |
"Rife with poor editing and poorly chosen snippets from the past." |
Geoff Roberts |

Reds (1981) |
"Marred by historical bluff and jarring cutesiness, 'Reds' is nevertheless the sweeping melodramatic stuff of classic moviemaking." |

Reflections in a Golden Eye (1967) |
"Unintentional silliness, intentional simpering, awkward movement and mega-name miscasting abound in this 1967 John Huston film." |

Renaissance (2006) |
"The voicework and the story try hard enough to get by, but Renaissance is really about its look. That part of the film is simply marvelous." |
Jeffrey Chen |
Tomato 6/10 |
Rendition (2007) |
"Does its job, keeping the action involving, but in an increasing pool of U.S.-policy-and-the-Middle-East movies, it also feels like one of the crowd." |
Jeffrey Chen |

Reno 911!: Miami (2007) |
"Not all of the jokes work, and although 'Reno 911!: Miami' has a relatively short running time, it contains a lot of tired filler." |

Rent (2005) |
