Tomato 4/4 |
Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002) |
"Noyce creates a film of near-hypnotic physical beauty even as he tells a story as horrifying as any in the heart-breakingly extensive annals of white-on-black racism." |

Race to Witch Mountain (2009) |
"Race to Witch Mountain isn't magic, but it moves." |

Tomato A- |
Rachel Getting Married (2008) |
"It's a successful experiment that leaves you with a mix of hope and despair. To the lovers, best wishes. To the lonely, our sympathies." |

Raise Your Voice (2004) |
"What Hilary Duff will do when she grows up is anybody's guess, but for now she's the Duffinator, and things could be a lot worse." |
Tom Long |
Tomato B- |
Raising Helen (2004) |
"By no means a great movie, but it's efficiently watchable, thanks to Marshall's direction and occasionally buoyant thanks to its stars." |
Tom Long |
Splat C- |
Rambo (2008) |
"It's an unfortunate ending for a once-great screen character who deserves to be known for more than the waste he laid to others." |
Adam Graham |
Splat 2/4 |
Random Hearts (1999) |
"Beyond all its pointless circling around the center, Random Hearts tests audience patience by showing behavior far too long before explaining it." |

Rat Race (2001) |
"Terminally dumb, noisy and tasteless, Rat Race is the quintessential big-studio August movie, one for the summer season's dumping ground." |
Susan Stark |
Tomato A |
Ratatouille (2007) |
"Ratatouille has the technical genius, emotional core and storytelling audacity to lift it into the ranks of [the best] Pixar films, the crème de la crème of modern animation." |

Ray (2004) |
"The music numbers are lively, the supporting cast solid, and the direction by Taylor Hackford is fully efficient." |
Tom Long |
Tomato 3/4 |
Read My Lips (2002) |
"Thoughtful, provocative and entertaining." |
Susan Stark |
Splat C+ |
The Reader (2008) |
"At times The Reader is an interesting exploration of both the needs of man and the limits of law. But there are so many dead spots in the film after it gets rolling that the rolling too often comes to a stop." |
Tom Long |

Ready to Rumble (2000) |
"Ready to Rumble manages to insult not only pro wrestlers but also their fans." |

Real Women Have Curves (2002) |
"Real Women Have Curves is nowhere near a great film, but it is the most distinctive and appealing of entertainments." |
Susan Stark |
Splat D+ |
The Reaping (2007) |
"From spooky prelude to investigative twaddle to surprise ending and double-surprise coda, it's as if director Stephen Hopkins is following the handbook of Satanic hooey." |
Tom Long |
Splat C |
Rebound (2005) |
"The thing with Rebound is: If you've seen the poster, if you've seen the trailer, if you've seen the commercial, you've seen the movie." |
Tom Long |
Splat 2/4 |
Recess: School's Out (2001) |
"Thematically thoughtful but technically feeble." |
Susan Stark |
Tomato B+ |
The Reckoning (2004) |
"An ambitious, energetic and wholly satisfying movie about the dawn of dramatic and personal freedom and much more." |
Tom Long |
Tomato B- |
The Recruit (2003) |
"The Recruit is serviceable spy fodder made a great guilty pleasure by Pacino's 'OK, no Oscar here, let's have some fun' performance." |
Tom Long |

Red Cliff (2009) |
"The result is an awfully big and powerful movie, even in abbreviated form." |

Red Dragon (2002) |
"In both the writing and cutting, it does not achieve the kind of dramatic unity that transports you. You end up simply admiring this bit or that, this performance or that." |
Susan Stark |
Tomato B+ |
Red Eye (2005) |
"There are no dinosaurs, starships, monsters or special effects involved. Just two humans pressed too close to one another, locked in a fight for survival. What could be more frightening?" |
Tom Long |
Tomato 3/4 |
Red Planet (2000) |
"The next time any movie tells you the Martians are coming, choose the better part of valor: Just duck." |

Redacted (2007) |
"Redacted, director Brian DePalma's ugly little Iraq War movie, wastes an interesting approach on trite, crude and painfully superficial content." |
Tom Long |
Splat D |
Redbelt (2008) |
"Incompetently made and covered in corn, this is a martial arts movie that makes you yearn for The Karate Kid. Yes, that movie was corny, as well, but at least it was fun. Redbelt isn't fun, just laughable." |
Tom Long |
Splat 1/4 |
Reign of Fire (2002) |
"Suspension of disbelief is one thing but this movie asks viewers to suspend logic and right reason as well." |

Religulous (2008) |
"No two ways about it, Religulous is going to offend a lot of people who have never even see it. Chances are, it's going to offend a lot of people who do see it as well." |
Tom Long |

Remember the Titans (2000) |
"Sturdy, gripping and well-balanced if somewhat artificial." |
Susan Stark |

Rendition (2007) |
"Rendition succumbs to a fatal imbalance brought on by terminal star power." |

Reno 911!: Miami (2007) |
"If you like the TV show, you'll like the movie. If you like stupid movies you'll like the movie. If you want to have your soul elevated, look elsewhere." |
Tom Long |
Tomato B- |
Rent (2005) |
"Rent is still Rent, and devotees should adore it while haters will hate it (there are, apparently, plenty of both)." |

Requiem for a Dream (2000) |
"It's a downer -- and far more because of Aronofsky's vanity than because of Selby's brutally candid story." |
Susan Stark |
Tomato A- |
Rescue Dawn (2007) |
"Takes what could have been a mundane if well-made war story into something greater -- more harrowing, more hungry and more human." |

Resurrecting the Champ (2007) |
"Jackson does some good work, sporting a high gasp of a voice and letting his character surface to reality smoothly, but the movie becomes too much of a morality play as it unwinds." |
