Tomato 3/4 |
S.W.A.T. (2003) |
"S.W.A.T. is one of the most pleasant surprises in a summer movie season that's been filled with surprising unpleasantness." |
Jeff Vice |
Splat 2/4 |
S1m0ne (2002) |
"Cliched, and there are glaring plot holes galore." |
Jeff Vice |
Tomato 3/4 |
S21: The Khmer Rouge Killing Machine (2004) |
"It's quietly effective and serves as stark reminder of the horrors that can result from blind obedience." |
Jeff Vice |
Tomato |
Sabrina (1995) |
"Ford's deadpan delivery is perfect, and television talk-show host Kinnear is very funny in his first big-screen performance." |
Chris Hicks |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Saddest Music in the World (2004) |
"The Saddest Music in the World is a hard little movie. Which doesn't mean that it's hard to watch, just that it's hard to describe and classify -- and harder still to critically analyze." |
Jeff Vice |
Splat |
Safe Passage (1994) |
"As a showcase for actors, Safe Passage is a satisfactory performance vehicle. But as a movie, it's overly sentimental and predictable, seeming better suited to network-TV fare." |
Chris Hicks |
Splat 2/4 |
Sahara (2005) |
"What little humor Sahara has is forced, and of the goofy, 'buddy-film' shenanigans variety." |
Jeff Vice |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Saint (1997) |
"The Saint suffers from some of the same plot inconsistencies, lapses in logic and outrageous stunts as their other films. But there's no wit at work here, and most of the one-liners are tired sexual double-entendres." |
Chris Hicks |
Splat 2/4 |
Saint Ralph (2005) |
"The comic aspects of this comedy-drama are overly broad and forced, while the supposedly dramatic ones are cloying and treacly." |
Jeff Vice |
Tomato 3/4 |
Saints And Soldiers |
"While it does delve into matters of faith under trying circumstances, it's quite subtle about doing so, and it never pushes an agenda at the expense of the story or characters." |

The Santa Clause (1994) |
"There are enough laughs to make it worth a look for Allen's legion of fans." |
Chris Hicks |
Splat 2/4 |
The Santa Clause 2 (2002) |
"The film has a nearly terminal case of the cutes, and it's neither as funny nor as charming as it thinks it is." |

Saraband (2005) |

Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic (2005) |
"As expected, whether you find any of this funny depends on your tolerance for outrageously and politically incorrect humor." |
Jeff Vice |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Sasquatch Gang (2007) |
"The rather limited outcast-comedy premise is already tapped out. So this painfully unfunny film seems considerably longer than its scant 90-minute running time." |

Savage Nights (1994) |

Tomato 3/4 |
The Savages (2007) |
"Screenwriter/director Tamara Jenkins (Slums of Beverly Hills) is smart enough not to try to redeem any of these people — at least not in the traditional, cinematic sense." |
Jeff Vice |
Splat 2/4 |
Save the Last Dance (2001) |
"There's a nice little dance movie waiting to step out of Save the Last Dance. Unfortunately, the story keeps tripping it up." |
Jeff Vice |
Splat 2/4 |
Saved! (2004) |
"What's particularly troubling is that there were obvious opportunities for this dark comedy to be a little more even-handed in its treatment of the subject matter. But too often it settles for the easy, cheap joke." |

Saw (2004) |
"This gimmicky serial-killer thriller is pretty laughable, despite the gruesome subject matter and its graphic, often nauseating gore." |
Jeff Vice |
Splat 1/4 |
Saw II (2005) |
"If anything, this blood-spattered, stomach-churning sequel to last year's serial-killer thriller is even more moronic, more overplotted and more convoluted." |

Say Anything (1989) |
"Has more depth and feeling than we expect to see in any teenage comedy" |
Chris Hicks |
Splat |
Say It Isn't So (2001) |
"Throw in bland performances by Klein and Graham -- and Field's irritatingly over-the-top turn -- and you've got a formula for disaster." |

The Scarlet Letter (1995) |
"The result is merely a big-budget, opulently costumed soap opera that is way too long (two hours, 15 minutes) and way too slow." |
Chris Hicks |
Splat |
Scary Movie (2000) |
"Gets progressively cruder and less funny as the minutes slowly tick off." |
Jeff Vice |
Splat |
Scary Movie 2 (2001) |
"Even fans of the original may find their patience tested." |
Jeff Vice |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Scary Movie 3 (2003) |
"For each silly gag or joke that works in Scary Movie 3, there are at least 10 more that don't." |
Jeff Vice |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Scary Movie 4 (2006) |
"Scary Movie 4 has about as many laughs as the two previous Scary Movies combined. Faint praise, of course, as those films had maybe four or five laughs between them." |
Jeff Vice |

Scenes From a Mall (1991) |
"Sounds like the perfect high-concept project, right? So how could it go wrong? Who knows? But wrong it went." |
Chris Hicks |

Scent of a Woman (1992) |

Schizo (2005) |
