Jack Said (2009) |
"Dreadful British thriller with a tedious script, irritating characters, amateurish performances and a surprising lack of anything resembling action or thrills." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 3/5 |
Jackass: Number Two (2006) |
"It's probably fair to warn animal-lovers that there's a fair amount of animal distress in the movie - snakes, in particular, get a pretty rough deal all round and the bulls don't seem too happy either." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 3/5 |
Jackass: The Movie (2002) |
"This is compellingly stupid and frequently hilarious, though you may want to bring a sick-bag, just in case." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Jacket (2005) |
"Part of the fun with twisty time-travel movies is in trying to figure out what's going on and The Jacket delivers nicely on that score, keeping you guessing till the end." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Jane Austen Book Club (2007) |
"Average romantic drama that stays watchable thanks to its excellent cast, though it's neither as emotionally engaging nor as clever as it thinks it is." |

Jar City (2008) |
"In short, this is a superbly made, thoroughly engaging thriller that exerts a powerful emotional grip and is well worth seeking out. Recommended" |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 3/5 |
Jarhead (2005) |
"Gyllenhaal effortlessly carries the film, making an engaging lead, even if his character's lust for the pink mist is a little disturbing." |

JCVD (2008) |
"The rumours are true – this is indeed Jean-Claude Van Damme's best film for 15 years (and a career-best performance), but it's also unexpectedly sad and surprisingly moving." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 3/5 |
Je Veux Voir (2009) |
"An occasionally flawed but frequently rewarding film that paints an intriguing portrait of war-torn Lebanon." |

Jennifer's Body (2009) |
"An enjoyable teen horror with terrific performances and a nice line in jet-black humour thanks to Diablo Cody's excellent script." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 3/5 |
Jersey Girl (2004) |
"It’s a nicely acted, competently made ‘dramatic comedy’ that might disappoint rabid Smith fans but is still a cut above the average Hollywood sugar-fest. Worth seeing." |

Tomato 5/5 |
Jindabyne (2007) |

John Tucker Must Die (2006) |

Jonas Brothers - The Concert Experience (2009) |
"The lack of depth or personality makes Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience a tedious, empty viewing experience for anyone unlucky enough to be dragged to see it." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 4/5 |
Josie and the Pussycats (2001) |
"Amusing comedy that transcends its all-too-obvious silliness thanks to a trio of sweet performances, some catchy songs and some spot-on gags at the expense of teen culture." |

Julia (2008) |
"Gripping, tense and often wildly unpredictable thriller, superbly directed by Erick Zonca and featuring a ferocious central performance from Tilda Swinton." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 3/5 |
Julie & Julia (2009) |
"Worth seeing for the performances, but the endings of both stories are oddly unsatisfying and it never really comes together as a single film." |

Jumper (2008) |
"Doug Liman's sci-fi thriller is stylish and fast-paced but it's let down by a messy script, a frustratingly under-developed plot and a wooden performance by Hayden Christensen." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 5/5 |
Junebug (2005) |
"There's a constant tension in the air, as if the characters could make catastrophic decisions at any moment but the film consistently surprises you by upturning the expected cliches." |
Matthew Turner |

Jungle Book 2 (2003) |
"There's no reason for this story to be told -- besides, of course, parting gullible punters from a few quid." |

Juno (2007) |
"Engaging, frequently hilarious teen comedy with a terrific script, a wonderful cast and a delightful central performance from rising star Ellen Page." |

Jurassic Park III (2001) |
"It’s not brilliant, it’s rather predictable, but it’s ok; it bowls along nicely and it does make you jump. What more can you ask of dinosaurs?" |

Just Another Love Story (2009) |
"An enjoyable slice of Danish noir, thanks to a smartly written script and strong performances." |
Matthew Turner |

Just Friends (2005) |
"Reynolds' brand of sarcastic humour suits his part well, whilst Smart is as adorable here as she was in The Butterfly Effect." |
Matthew Turner |
Tomato 4/5 |
Just Like Heaven (2005) |
"There's also strong support from Donal Logue (as David's best friend Jack) and Jon Heder, who proves there's life after Napoleon Dynamite with an amusing comic turn as a supernatural bookseller who agrees to help David." |

Just My Luck (2006) |
"Fans of Lindsay Lohan's previous films will be pleased to learn that she's lost none of her comic timing and self-deprecating charm - she's extremely appealing here, even if she does need to rediscover the joys of food." |
