Baadasssss! (2004) |
"Full of itself, as fiercely independent as it should be and primed with real passion, Baadasssss! is a salute to an imperfect man, a history of an imperfect time and a celebration of an imperfect film that kicked doors open." |

Tomato B |
The Baader Meinhof Complex (2009) |
"There are some literally killer performances here, most notably Johanna Wokalek as Gudrun." |

Babel (2006) |

Baby Mama (2008) |
"It's not that Baby Mama is an outright bad movie. It's just so thoroughly typical, a one-note, odd-couple, laff-lite film featuring two Saturday Night Live veterans that reminds you of so many other dashed-together SNL vet films." |
Tom Long |
Splat 2/4 |
The Bachelor (1999) |
"The new film takes a heavy approach to plain foolishness and doesn’t exactly gain loft from the presence of O’Donnell in the centerpiece role. His range is limited to several shades of bland." |
Susan Stark |

Bad Boys II (2003) |
"It is the loudest, crassest, fastest, most destructive, biggest and dumbest." |
Tom Long |

Bad Company (2002) |
"The comic material is pedestrian and utterly predictable." |

Tomato B+ |
Bad Education (2004) |
"Reality, fantasy and cinema interweave with such grace and power that it's often difficult to separate one from the other, which is, of course, the point." |

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009) |
"Nicolas Cage is out of his mind in The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call -- New Orleans. And it's wonderful to see." |

Bad News Bears (2005) |
"Bad News Bears isn't Linklater's or Thornton's greatest work, but it's funny from beginning to end and properly improper at every turn. This is religiously irreverent stuff. Pray for more." |

Bad Santa (2003) |
"Just plain hilarious, a dark comedy triumph that beats on your typical holiday movie with a baseball bat." |

The Ballad of Jack and Rose (2005) |
"Explores the dangers of idealism, of belief and even beauty, with a touch that's neither overly cynical nor sentimental, even though it does slip logically here and there." |

Bamboozled (2000) |
"A movie destined to educate, infuriate, shame and galvanize all who see it." |

The Band's Visit (2007) |
"You expect The Band's Visit to be a sweet little snapshot, a delightful and endearing culture-clash movie -- funny and poignant and human. And it is all those things. What's surprising is how it manages to be just a bit more." |
Tom Long |
Splat 2/4 |
Bandits (2001) |
"Too bad we're ready for the film's final pay-off 20 minutes before it comes. Less is more in comedy and a bit less would have made Bandits more successful. As it is, both the performers and the audience end up robbed by excess." |
Tom Long |
Tomato 2/4 |
The Banger Sisters (2002) |
"Hawn, Sarandon and Rush are, quite simply, a fabulous trio of originals. They bring far more to The Banger Sisters than it deserves." |
Susan Stark |
Tomato B |
The Bank Job (2008) |
"A tight, classic-feeling film about losers banding together for one big score, then scrambling furiously as they realize they're in over their heads. It's fast, nifty, sharp and sweet." |

Batman & Robin (1997) |
"Apart from its eye-appeal, though, Batman & Robin is a virtually joyless exercise, a lumbering saga of a city under assault on two fronts." |
Susan Stark |
Tomato B |
Batman Begins (2005) |
"An undeniable return to good form for the enduring comic book hero, an industrial-strength summer-action flick fantasia that manages to capture the excitement of the early Batman films while working in a decidedly darker tone." |
Tom Long |

Battle for Terra (2009) |
"A simplistic message movie boasting computer animation well below the industry standard." |

Battlefield Earth (2000) |
"A noisy, chaotic, sloppily edited and embarrassingly banal and derivative saga." |

The Baxter (2005) |
"Mildly cute while thoroughly forgettable, the chief achievement of The Baxter is it serves to remind viewers how thoroughly adorable Michelle Williams can be, even in something this inconsequential." |

Be Cool (2005) |
"The film's one redeeming quality may be its eventual use as a thesis subject for some would-be Phd ('Be Cool: Deconstructing Hollywood at its Worst'). But that will be little consolation for anyone who wastes nine bucks on a ticket for this movie." |
Tom Long |
Tomato B+ |
Be Kind Rewind (2008) |
"There's an undeniable sense of wonder to Be Kind Rewind, a belief in both the beauty of the creative process and the magic within all men. It's an unabashed ode to common potential; it's also a lot of fun to watch." |
