David Nusair |
Splat 2/4 |
Babes in Toyland (1997) |
"Innocuous and instantly forgettable, Babes in Toyland has clearly been designed to appeal strictly to children." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Baby Boy (2001) |
"...while it's not as gritty as Boyz N the Hood or as compelling as Higher Learning, Baby Boy is certainly worth checking out if only for the superb performances..." |
David Nusair |

Baby Mama (2008) |
"...an exceedingly familiar premise that's used to almost extraordinarily innocuous effect..." |
David Nusair |
Splat 1.5/4 |

"...a seriously underwhelming comedic endeavor that suffers from an almost total lack of genuine laughs..." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 2.5/4 |

"...never manages to rise above the level of pure idiocy." |
David Nusair |
Splat 2/4 |

David Nusair |
Splat 1/4 |
Bad Company (2002) |
"[Chris Rock gives] arguably the worst lead performance in a mainstream movie ever." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 2.5/4 |

David Nusair |
Tomato 2.5/4 |

"[Bad Taste will] probably work best when watched with an enthusiastic group, and a copious amount of alcohol on standby." |
David Nusair |

Bad Trip (1999) |
"...there's very little here that's actually funny." |
David Nusair |
Splat 2/4 |
Bait (2000) |
"...a really good 80-minute action movie trapped inside an overblown two-hour suckfest." |
David Nusair |
Splat 2/4 |
Balls Out: Gary The Tennis Coach (2008) |
"...there eventually does reach a point at which Scott's performance, ingratiating as it is, simply proves unable to compensate for the film's myriad of deficiencies." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 3/4 |
Bambi (1942) |
"With an emphasis on character development over plot, the film isn't quite as accessible as some of Disney's more recent efforts..." |

Bart Got a Room (2009) |
"...rarely holds the viewer's interest in as rapt a manner as Hecker presumably intended." |
David Nusair |
Splat 2/4 |
Basic (2003) |
"The interesting thing about Basic is that it contains one of Travolta's best performances since Pulp Fiction, but the film itself isn't anywhere close to his level." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 3/4 |
Batman Begins (2005) |
"...Batman Begins is generally an extremely entertaining, exceedingly well-acted summer movie. Unfortunately, that's all it is." |
David Nusair |

"...this could've been a searing documentary..." |
David Nusair |

David Nusair |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Beat That My Heart Skipped (2005) |
"If not for Duris' amazing, thoroughly captivating performance, it's clear that De battre mon coeur s'est arrêté would not come off nearly as well as it ultimately does." |
David Nusair |
Tomato 3/4 |
Beautiful Joe (2000) |
"Beautiful Joe is incredibly sentimental and sappy, but it's very enjoyable for just those reasons." |
David Nusair |
Splat 2/4 |
