The Da Vinci Code (2006) |
"Unlike Da Vinci, this is not a masterpiece." |

Splat 2.5/5 |
Daddy Day Care (2003) |
"If I was a kid, I'd want to hang out at Daddy Day Care and I'd probably recommend this movie, but my potty training days are behind me so I'm not quite there." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Dahmer (2002) |
"It's shocking, intense, and totally creepy, yet compelling and sad. Jeremy Renner gives a career-making performance." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Splat 2/5 |
Daltry Calhoun (2005) |
"At times this movie is as slow as watching grass grow... it’s a film with some nice moments that’s a tad on the hokey side, but always tries to be super-duper earnest." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Dan in Real Life (2007) |
"In the movie world, these characters might have been interesting, but in real life, they were too one-dimensional to make you want them to find true love." |

"Viva Javier Bardem!" |

Dancing in Twilight (2005) |
"This was like doing a samba to a funeral dirge – the look might be there, but it doesn’t connect with the emotion of the experience." |

The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys (2002) |
"If you're part of the ever-growing audience that's looking for more in your movies than the latest TV show brought to the big screen - check this out." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Danny Deckchair (2004) |
"A cross between The Wizard Of Oz and Groundhog Day, which means it's going to be a delightfully funny adventure with love and a little bit of magic." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Splat 2/5 |
Daredevil (2003) |
"A 'Midnight Mayhem Movie' - they spend all their money on special effects and fight choreography to create these outrageous actions sequences and then stage them at night so you can't see the fighting." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Darjeeling Limited (2007) |
"Quirky is the operative word here. You have to go with the flow on this wacky train ride." |

Dark Water (2005) |
"The pacing is a little slow and the intensity needs to be cranked up a notch or two, but it has more emotion than your typical horror stories." |

Darkness Falls (2003) |
"The only way to get any entertainment out of this movie is to watch it with somebody who gets easily scared." |

Dawn of the Dead (2004) |
"A good script without any of that banal horror-movie dialog that makes you cringe, a cast that can act, and zombies that are scary and quick without being robotic." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Splat 2.5/5 |
The Day After Tomorrow (2004) |
"There is nothing to overcome (no way to stop the storm) - the big payoff is to do nothing but wait it out. Where's the fun in that." |

Days of Glory (1944) |
"If the story were as compelling as it should be, we would have wept over the injustice of it all and unfortunately, that didn't happen." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Splat 2.5/5 |
DC 9/11: Time of Crisis (2004) |
"It captures the human drama of the time, but as a behind the scenes look at how our leaders faced a crisis, it leaves room for too much doubt to buy it." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Splat 2.5/5 |
De-Lovely (2004) |
"Kevin Kline sings less than perfect... It may be truer to life, but it does the music and ultimately the movie a disservice because these songs deserve to be sung well." |
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Dead Girl (2006) |
"This is unsettling and completely riveting at the same time. It's like six degrees of separation for the terminally broken." |

The Departed (2006) |
"If you like your films loaded with guns, blood and bad asses with dialects this is the film for you. Scorsese delivers a well-crafted story that will keep you engaged throughout." |

Derailed (2005) |
"Derailed doesn't crash and burn, but it should be more intriguing - it falls all over itself trying to be really clever." |

Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo (2005) |
"The worst movie of the year; it gets an unprecedented half point on our rating scale - even a penis enlargement pump couldn't suck a whole point out of this movie." |

Deuces Wild (2002) |
"If they broke out into elaborate choreography, singing and finger snapping it might have held my attention, but as it stands I kept looking for the last exit from Brooklyn." |

The Devil Wears Prada (2006) |
"Not as scathing as the book but Meryl does turn in a performance worthy of making interns and assistants everywhere shudder. Plus, she gets to be mean and look fabulous at the same time." |

Diamond Men (2001) |
"While this may not be a diamond-in-the-rough, it's certainly better than cubic zirconium - it's a likeable film that fizzles at the end." |
