The Namesake (2007) |
"The Namesake ambitiously reveals the gains and perils of assimilation, and it heightens awareness about how difficult it can be to strike the right balance between family demands and personal development." |

Napoleon Dynamite (2004) |
"The movie merits a low-wattage recommendation even though it's short on things to say." |
Robert Denerstein |
Splat C+ |
Naqoyqatsi (2002) |
"At its best, Naqoyqatsi awakens the eyes, but it doesn't really do much to tweak the conscience. It's difficult to feel a sense of outrage while you're in a trance." |

Narc (2002) |
"See this one for acting and atmosphere." |

NASCAR: The Imax Experience (2004) |
"For those who can't get enough of NASCAR, the movie offers a large-scale opportunity." |
Robert Denerstein |
Splat C |
National Lampoon's Van Wilder (2002) |
"An uneven mix of National Lampoon-style high jinks (yes, it feels slightly dated) and Farrelly-brothers touches tossed in for gross measure." |
Robert Denerstein |
Splat D+ |
National Security (2003) |
"A lame blend of comedy and action in which both credibility and laughs are blown to smithereens." |
Robert Denerstein |
Splat C |
National Treasure (2004) |
"National Treasure falls a bit short both as a window into the American past and as crackling good adventure." |
Robert Denerstein |
Splat C+ |
The Nativity Story (2006) |
"I'd call the results of Hardwicke's efforts mixed." |

The New World (2005) |
"New World has some fine imagery, but it doesn't transport us in the way The Thin Red Line did." |
Robert Denerstein |
Splat D+ |
New York Minute (2004) |
"Engineered to provide the same level of entertainment as a sugar rush, this frantic teen (pre-teen?) fantasy has the feel of something concocted in a lab specializing in energy drinks and peachy complexions." |

Nicholas Nickleby (2002) |
"It's stuffed with enough morsels to make it palatable." |
Robert Denerstein |
Splat C+ |
The Night Listener (2006) |
"Complexity helps maintain interest, although The Night Listener doesn't generate much by way of genuine excitement." |
Robert Denerstein |

Night Watch (2005) |
"This mostly incoherent, enormously eccentric helping of mayhem breaks into so many fragments that watching the movie can be a bit like trying to assemble the pieces from several jigsaw puzzles." |

Nine Lives (2005) |
"In looking at the lives of nine very different women, Garcia often seems to be closing in on something essential, small suggestive moments that attempt to resonate with meaning. Some do. Some don't." |

The Ninth Day (2005) |

North Country (2005) |
"If you can take North Country as a movie, not a news report, you'll find a moving work that explores sexual harassment with unusual candor." |

Northfork (2003) |
"For me, the Polish brothers marched down a road leading nowhere." |

The Notebook (2004) |
"Cue the sensitive piano. Make the settings picturesque. Add a corny narration, and let the love boat sail." |
Robert Denerstein |
Tomato B |
Notes on a Scandal (2006) |
"Notes on a Scandal may not always be deeply illuminating, but [director Richard] Eyre adds enough pathos and emotional realism to keep the movie from curdling into a snide joke." |
Robert Denerstein |
Tomato B- |
The Notorious Bettie Page (2006) |
"Harron deserves credit. She sees Page not as others might have seen her but as she evidently saw herself." |

Nowhere in Africa (2003) |
"Link creates a complex and fascinating portrait of a marriage under the enormous stress of geographical dislocation and historical trauma." |
