Nacho Libre (2006) |
"Nacho Libre is a funny idea for a skit that's been put on the rack and tortured into a screenplay." |

The Namesake (2007) |
"The Namesake is three-fourths of a fine film. Which is, of course, far better than most." |

Nancy Drew (2007) |
"Hardly heart-racing stuff." |

The Nanny Diaries (2007) |
"There's a surreal tinge to The Nanny Diaries that works both for and against the film." |

Nanny McPhee (2006) |
"Nanny McPhee offers solid family entertainment in the face of it all. Mary Poppins, eat your heart out." |

Napoleon Dynamite (2004) |
"An independent take on a Hollywood tradition, undermined by its cliches but saved by its performances." |

Narc (2002) |
"Narc is fast, brutal and a lot smarter than it at first appears to be." |

National Treasure (2004) |
"A formula-action exercise that's part Indiana Jones, part Da Vinci Code, part history trivia lesson and all bluster, Treasure proves quickly that it's fool's gold at best." |

Neil Young - Heart of Gold (2006) |
"Neil Young: Heart of Gold is one of the best live concert films ever made. If you like Neil Young, that is." |

New in Town (2009) |
"Yes, this movie offers dumb hope in wretched times, but for many, dumb hope is preferable to no hope at all." |

New Suit (2002) |
"An old story, The Emperor's New Clothes turned inside out, but screenwriter Craig Sherman and director Francois Velle have such fun with the material that it's completely contagious." |

New York Minute (2004) |
"The unapologetic, no-consequence nature of the characters' activities here, as well as the constant flow of dress-them-up Barbie outfits the twins don, wallow in the worst sort of amorality and image-is- everything indulgence." |

The Next Best Thing (2000) |

Next Day Air (2009) |
"First-time feature director Benny Boom and writer Blair Cobbs get a lot of help from their cast, and the banter is often akin to a thug Three Stooges routine. But blood and predictability sour things in the end." |

Nicholas Nickleby (2002) |
"It's just sort of there, one more adaptation of a long rambling Charles Dickens soap opera well-stocked with respected British actors playing painfully stereotypical characters." |

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008) |
"Although crassed-up for modern audiences, Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist may be the closest anyone has come to matching the teen agony-and-ecstasy romps that John Hughes pumped out in the '80s." |

Night at the Museum (2006) |
"Night at the Museum is not just a wild runaround of computer-generated creatures. Well, OK, that's mostly what it is. Still, there is something of a plot." |

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009) |
"Battle of the Smithsonian is packed with odd characters, eccentric arguments and ornate special effects, and while it's never transcendently funny enough to be seriously impressive, it is chock full of family-friendly giggles." |

Night Watch (2005) |
"Unfortunately, by Hollywood standards, Night Watch is about three Wookies and two Neos short of convincing. All the gobbledygook is in place, but the special effects are minimal and somewhat frustrating." |

The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) |
"The director of the film, a veteran stop-action master named Henry Selick, is the person who has made it all work. And his achievement is enormous." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat C- |
Nim's Island (2008) |
"There's a stiff, constructed feel to Nim's Island, a constant sense of assembly that keeps the film from ever feeling natural. And no matter how unbelievable a tale might be, it has to take on a reality of its own to work on the screen." |

Nothing Like the Holidays (2008) |

Notorious (2009) |
"Notorious is a game of dress-up, the Greatest Hits version of Biggie's life. But in the end, it fails to present a convincing argument of why we should care." |
