Nacho Libre (2006)

"A large portion of manufactured quirk served up with a side-order of constrained Jack Black that comes across as an elaborate build up to a punch line that never happens. "

The Naked City (1948)

"Affords the viewer a look at a type of city life that has long since disappeared, giving the film a kind of documentary time-capsule flavor."

Naked Lunch (1991)

"Cronenberg's masterpiece and perhaps the best film ever made about writing"

The Namesake (2007)

"Nair may have bitten off more than she -- or anyone -- could chew with this sprawling narrative, but she's done as right by it as possible."

The Nanny (1965)

"Dreary, bizarrely overrated thriller distinguished only by Bette Davis."

Nanny McPhee (2006)

"Its striking combination of day-glo psychedelic colors and a rich streak of morbidity is enough to keep it afloat most of the time. "

Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

"Yes, Napoleon Dynamite has some of that annoying forced indie quirkiness, but it also possesses a certain wayward originality"

The Narrow Margin (1952)

"A hard-as-nails, noir-ish thriller from the often underrated Richard Fleischer."

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989)

"Amusing Chase vehicle on its way to being a Xmas perennial."

National Lampoon's Vacation (1983)

"Agreeable star comedy."

National Treasure 2 : Book of Secrets (2007)

"Probable box-office success doesn't keep it from being a largely uninspired concoction."

Natural Born Killers (1994)

"Flashy, loathsome, and utterly empty."

Nazarin (1958)

"Perhaps the most accomplished and difficult of Luis Buñuel's Mexican films."

Nell (1994)

"Truly dismal"

Never a Dull Moment (1968)

"OK star comedy that feels like a TV show."

The New Guy (2002)

"The New Guy is no different than a hundred or so other films of its ilk %u2013 except possibly on the decibel level: It may well be the noisiest movie I've ever encountered."

A New Leaf (1971)

"Occasionally charming, always watchable star vehicle. Pleasantly offbeat"

New York Minute (2004)

"In what alternate universe could we really find an Olsen twin (which one hardly matters) playing drums on a recording of Bowie's "Suffragette City?" "

Next (2007)

"Asks the viewer to accept that Nicolas Cage can see into the future and that Jessica Biel would sleep with him. I'm not sure which qualifies the film as science fiction."

Nicholas Nickleby (2002)

"Any film version of Nicholas Nickelby that casts Nathan Lane as theatrical impresario Vincent Crummles and Barry Humphries (in his Dame Edna drag incarnation) as Mrs. Crummles is clearly a Dickens of a departure from Masterpiece Theatre-dom."

Nick of Time (1995)

"What is Depp doing in this tepid thriller?"

Night at the Museum (2006)

"It quickly becomes apparent that the film is pretty much a high concept in search of a plot."

A Night at the Opera (1935)

"Hysterical, but not up to the boys' Paramount films"

A Night in Casablanca (1946)

"Penultimate Marx Bros. film suffers by comparison with their glory days, but still worth a look."

Night Monster (1942)

"Outrageously melodramatic thriller. Loads of fun!"
