Splat 2/4 |
The R.M. (2003) |
"The film is most successful when it's trying to replicate the Airplane! strategy: throwing as many jokes as possible at the wall to see what sticks. However, it's simply a case of trying to do too much." |
Jeff Vice |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002) |
"You'd have to be a most hard-hearted person not to be moved by this drama." |

Race to Witch Mountain (2009) |
"While this film may not qualify as classic science-fiction and takes some liberties with author Alexander Key's material, at least it's fun." |
Jeff Vice |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Rachel Getting Married (2008) |
"The comedy-drama not only boasts what might be [Hathaway's] best big-screen performance, it's one of the best things she's appeared in so far." |
Jeff Vice |
Splat 1/4 |
Racing Stripes (2005) |
"It's not a horrible idea for a movie, and the human cast is appealing. But the filmmakers stoop so low in their attempts to get laughs that it's all for naught." |
Jeff Vice |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Radio (2003) |
"The fact that the people responsible for this 1970s-period drama have made something so reprehensibly phony out of a true story makes you want to slap them silly." |
Jeff Vice |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Radio Flyer (1992) |
"One has to wonder what Donner really had in mind with this picture. It doesn't say anything serious about child abuse. It doesn't search for any serious answers." |

Radioland Murders (1994) |
"The bottom line: If you can get past that sagging first third, there are some laughs to be had." |

Rain Man (1988) |
"Though it is in many respects just another odd couple road movie, Rain Man evolves into a very special film, largely because it is about something." |

Raise the Red Lantern (1991) |
"The film is a bit slow in places, but it's so involving that the audience probably won't mind." |
Chris Hicks |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Raise Your Voice (2004) |
"If it's possible, each successive Hilary Duff film seems to become more formulaic than the one before... just as each has become more predictable and treacly." |

Raising Flagg (2007) |
"Alan Arkin has the enviable ability of making nearly everything he's in watchable. Sadly, Raising Flagg sorely tests that ability." |

Raising Helen (2004) |
"A number of interesting people populate Raising Helen, but this comedy-drama chooses to focus on the least interesting, most cliched character in the film." |

Raising Victor Vargas (2003) |
"Sweet-natured, charming comedy-drama." |

Tomato 3/4 |
Rambling Rose (1991) |
"So much here is rich and touching, not to mention the string of superb performances, that the film still merits a recommendation." |

Rampage (1987) |
"...never gets under the skin of its protagonist or allows us to understand what he's supposed to be feeling.

Random Hearts (1999) |
"Even if it had been trimmed of 30 minutes, Random Hearts would have seemed somewhat flabby." |

Rapid Fire (1992) |
"Rapid Fire boasts some pretty good action, a few well-choreographed fights and a self-deprecating sense of humor, none of which is able to raise the film above the ordinary." |

Rat Race (2001) |
"This probably isn't the worst idea for a movie. But it's executed badly by director Jerry Zucker, who's determined to play scenes as broadly and loudly as possible -- to the point that they become shrill nonsense." |
Jeff Vice |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Ratatouille (2007) |
"It's a character-driven story that lets the humor flow naturally from the story's details. Also, the handsome, colorful backgrounds here have a mind-blowing, photorealistic quality." |
Jeff Vice |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ratcatcher (2000) |
"As bleak as the story is, what makes this drama so compelling is Ramsay's ability to interrupt it periodically with moments of almost whimsical fantasy." |

Ready to Rumble (2000) |
"A moronic, low-brow comedy that's only marginally better than its even more moronic trailer and TV ads." |

Ready to Wear (1994) |

Real Women Have Curves (2002) |
"The material here is expressed with a real sweetness and tenderness, and considering how heavy some of the themes are, the film is quite subtle." |

Reality Bites (1993) |
"It is Garofalo who steals the show, demonstrating an enormously ingratiating likability on the screen." |
Chris Hicks |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Reaping (2007) |
"The film uses cheap scare devices galore in an attempt to generate some suspense, but which instead just shows how desperate the filmmakers were." |
Jeff Vice |

Rebound (2005) |
"The outcome of all this is never in doubt, and the film's attempts to be cute and cuddly are as insincere as Lawrence's performance." |

Recess: School's Out (2001) |
"Probably would have been better off as a direct-to-video film." |

The Reckoning (2004) |
"It's nothing new to see a film that is better in concept than execution, or a film that wastes a talented cast. Sadly, The Reckoning does both." |
Jeff Vice |
Splat 2/4 |
The Recruit (2003) |
"There's a decent little thriller trying to break out of the messy tangled plotting and shallow, scenery-chewing character development that makes up much of The Recruit." |

Red (1994) |

Red Eye (2005) |
"While a few of the film's more preposterous story elements do remain glaring, Red Eye is nonetheless enjoyable and exciting, something more than merely a guilty pleasure." |
