Tomato B-	Wag the Dog (1997)	"It's half a brilliant political satire, half a wacky outrageous comedy of errors. The first half works, the second half doesn't."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Tomato B+	Waitress (2007)	"The conclusion is satisfying and even a little surprising, as Russell proves a delightful leading lady, and Andy Griffith almost steals the show."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Tomato A-	Waking Life (2001)	"I applaud Linklater for [directing] such an interesting ride. But it suffers from a lack of sensistivity to its audience..."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Splat C	Walk the Line (2005)	"Sure, Phoenix and Witherspoon rock. But imagine the Life of Bono without Jesus or Africa, or the Tom Cruise Story without Scientology. Mangold ignores Cash's deepest passion."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Tomato B	Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005)	"It's fun, but it's too busy, too eager to amaze ... [unlike] Pixar's films, which are supported by patient character development and storytelling that moves us."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Tomato B	War of the Worlds (2005)	"... like watching 100 minutes of the actual apocalypse and then switching to the climax of a sappy TV movie about parenting."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Tomato A+	Watership Down (1978)	"Don't listen to anybody who writes it off as a 'cartoon about bunnies.' Stunning beauty, smart scripting, a splendid score ... this is a serious film for serious moviegoers."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Splat C	The Way of the Gun (2000)	"It wants to keep you guessing, but there are so many twists and turns that I gave up trying to guess."	Jeffrey Overstreet
-	We Don't Live Here Anymore (2004)	Click here to see the review.	Randall
Splat C	We Were Soldiers (2002)	"I was impressed by Wallace's emphasis of Moore's faith, but the violence struck me as excessive, taking valuable time that could have been used to develop characters."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Tomato B+	Whale Rider (2003)	"The climactic revelation, when it comes, is something so ambitious that I never would have dreamed it would work convincingly. But it does."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Splat D	What Dreams May Come (1998)	"This is what happens when you try to make a philosophical movie about spirituality without making anybody uncomfortable."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Splat C-	What Lies Beneath (2000)	"If the ghost can go hunt for the villain by itself, why does it bother writing cryptic messages to strangers?"	Jeffrey Overstreet
-	What the Bleep Do We Know? (2004)	Click here to see the review.	Mike Hertenstein
Tomato A-	Where the Wild Things Are (2009)	"Wild Things might have been just another crass cartoon. Most filmmakers would have made the monsters' wild rumpus the film's raison d'�tre. Instead, Jonze and Eggers have crafted a poetic, personal interpretation."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Tomato A-	The Widow of St. Pierre (2001)	"Few films have set up the contrast between the cruel machinery of human justice and the piercing glory of Christian mercy more starkly and profoundly."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Tomato B-	Willard (2003)	"If you want a lesson in eccentric acting, or if you are interested in a nightmarish story well told, Willard is a noteworthy effort."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Tomato A+	Wings of Desire (1987)	"Wings of Desire enthralls me, and it sends me back to my life a richer person, glad to be alive, looking about at the mundane and the everyday with new appreciation."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Splat C-	The Wings of the Dove (1997)	"The problem is this: We're given no reason to care about these two yearning hearts. Our only evidence of their love is a garish display of hormones."	Jeffrey Overstreet
Tomato B+	Wonder Boys (2000)	"This performance shows Douglas aging gracefully and willingly, an accomplishment that only a couple of famous leading men have achieved in recent years."	Jeffrey Overstreet
