Madea's Family Reunion (2006) |

The Magdalene Sisters (2003) |
"By not admitting to the humanist complexity that evil regimes are upheld by real people, its horror is distanced and skin deep." |
Mark Palermo |

Maid in Manhattan (2002) |
"It tries to brush aside the social importance placed on monetary luxury, all while indulging in its own romance-to-riches Cinderella fantasy." |

The Majestic (2001) |
"The monotonous approach ensures that the film is meaningless, preventing any variation in tone from one moment to the next." |

Malibu's Most Wanted (2003) |
"If the movie at least had the courtesy to make its protagonist funny or clever, it may have possessed enough charm to relieve the feeling that it’s insulting its target audience." |

The Marine (2006) |
"Some crazed jewel thieves get trigger-happy in a gas station, and kidnap John Cena's wife. This is useful, as it adds the dangerous excitement of having an angry pro-wrestler chase them through South Carolina forests." |

Matchstick Men (2003) |
"Even though Scott’s hand is more restrained than in his action epics, the length and glossiness of this tale is cheekily, defiantly bloated -- a small movie directed like a big one." |
