The Jacket (2005) |
"If you can buy the entire psychic flying about and enjoy a bit of sick torture, The Jacket is a lot of fun -- fast, frightening and furiously intent." |

Jackie Brown (1997) |

Jarhead (2005) |
"Nicely acted, beautifully shot and pretty much devoid of action and context, Jarhead has to be considered one of the year's biggest failures, simply because so much talent went into a film so empty." |

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001) |
"Deliciously inane, transcendentally outrageous and purposely preposterous, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is destined to be seen by some as the greatest cinematic achievement of the year." |

Jennifer's Body (2009) |
"There are probably worse ways to go out than being devoured by Fox... but the film squanders all the fun from what could have been a hilarious, gore-filled romp." |
Adam Graham |
Tomato 3/4 |
Jerry Maguire (1996) |
"You may come away from Jerry Maguire feeling a little dizzy, but once the film settles into afterthought, it provides plenty to think about." |

Jersey Girl (2004) |
"A family-positive movie that's far more interesting than most competition in the genre, but not nearly inventive enough to stand up to Smith's other work." |

Jet Lag (2003) |

Jiminy Glick in LaLaWood (2004) |
"So, yeah, this is a terribly flawed film. Then again, it's a film featuring Jiminy Glick; nobody's really expecting much." |

Joe Somebody (2001) |
"Joe Somebody gives Allen a piping chance to play it sensitive, sentient and, for all the right reasons, lovable. He takes that chance and does a first-rate job." |

Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten (2007) |
"Future is overlong and will best be enjoyed and understood by fans, but even newcomers will appreciate the essential drive of the man, who died of a sudden heart attack in 2002, and admire his ability to balance anger and ecstasy." |

Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie (2002) |
"It's hard to argue with a children's movie that puts bouncy rhythm to the song lyric, 'Don't fight/Don't cheat/Wash your hands before you eat.'" |

Joshua (2007) |
"Writer-director George Ratliff may have intended to make a movie no one would enjoy. He's succeeded." |

Jumper (2008) |
"A herky-jerky mess of a movie, Jumper leaps about so erratically you get the feeling bent pogo sticks were employed in the editing room." |

Junebug (2005) |
