The Bachelor (1999) |
"A terrible film that witlessly unfurls its limp narrative. If you've seen the trailer, you've seen the film." |
Brent Simon |
Splat C- |
Bad Company (2002) |
"A completely pedestrian piece of entertainment… with a shrink-to-fit ending [that] builds to a dizzyingly ludicrous DIY climax; …half-baked and over-baked at the same time." |
Brent Simon |
Tomato A- |
Bad Santa (2003) |
"A big, bawdy comedy that wears its considerable chip on its shoulder with a certain unmitigated glee, Bad Santa may be one-note... but it’s also deeply, deeply funny." |

Baise Moi (2001) |
"Coarse, rough-hewn and rather unsophisticated, cinematically speaking, Baise Moi nonetheless succeeds largely on its gritty realism. It's a cinematic jab to the solar plexis." |

Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002) |
"Most new movies have a bright sheen. Some, like Ballistic, arrive stillborn... looking like the beaten, well-worn video box cover of seven years into the future." |

Bamboozled (2000) |
"Empty-headed and unspeakably undisciplined… [the] question bears asking: Has Spike Lee -- the living, breathing antithesis of subtlety -- gone completely insane?" |

Bandits (2001) |
"The Odd Couple meets Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Fairly fresh and fun, if ultimately fleeting entertainment." |

The Banger Sisters (2002) |
"A film not without its flaws, but with a great lead pair of actresses and a smart and fun story, these Sisters have enough sass and verve to make an afternoon or evening with them worth your while." |

The Bank (2002) |

Basic (2003) |
"Well-staged hokum with no sort of emotional resonance or weight. After some interesting set-up, Basic is basically just a series of pull-rugs, each methodically, professionally -- but coldly -- yanked out from under us." |

The Beach (2000) |
"Three-fifths of a great movie sunk by a crucial tonal misstep. A cross between Lord of the Flies, Swiss Family Robinson and Apocalypse Now." |

Beautiful Creatures (2001) |

Beautiful People (1999) |
"Vivid characters rendered impotent by a disorienting tone and a jerky, start-and-stop narrative that dilutes the film's putative emotional punch." |

Before Night Falls (2000) |
"Saddled with a wandering opening and an equally listless conclusion, a more fitting name for this two hour-plus biopic might well be Before Night Falters." |

Before Sunset (2004) |

Behind Enemy Lines (2001) |
"A satisfying enough piece of giddy-up entertainment that raises a few passing questions about the American 'cowboy mentality' before ultimately deciding it’s a lot more fun to simply eat your action movie cake than try to have it too." |
