W. (2008) |
"As a film, it simply attempts too much, consequently accomplishing little." |

The Wackness (2008) |
"The Wackness, for all its eccentricities and emotional pain, is really a sweet little film." |

Tomato 4/4 |
Wag the Dog (1997) |
"Wag the Dog nonetheless makes a perfect bookend piece for Network." |

Waist Deep (2006) |
"If you're looking for gunning gangsta action on a hot summer night, Waist Deep is an effective-enough story of urban outlaws in love and on the run. It's sweet, sweaty stuff, for a while at least." |

Waiting to Exhale (1995) |
"For all the pleasure there is in seeing effective, great-looking black women grappling with major life issues on screen, Waiting to Exhale is an uneven piece." |

Waiting... (2005) |
"If you're looking for a hefty serving of rude fun with a side of light meaning, order up Waiting." |

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007) |
"For half an hour or so, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story is hilarious. Problem is, the movie lasts an hour and a half." |

Walk on Water (2005) |
"If there are no simple solutions offered to calm Israel's troubles, there is still hope in this fine portrait of a country torn too many ways." |

Walk the Line (2005) |
"Walk the Line is absolute standard biopic stuff, so familiar that it blatantly echoes last year's Ray, which similarly failed to do justice to the legendary Ray Charles." |
Tom Long |

A Walk to Remember (2002) |
"Plays like the old disease-of-the-week small-screen melodramas." |
Susan Stark |
Splat C- |
The Walker (2007) |
"It's vaguely interesting, but vagueness isn't a big turn-on for most audiences. You keep wishing The Walker would break into an extended run in some direction. But instead it merely meanders." |

Walking Tall (2004) |
"Walking Tall is absolutely terrible, dumb beyond fun, truncated, ludicrous and completely disconnected from reality." |
Tom Long |

WALL-E (2008) |
"This is a film that stretches the expectations and reaches of animation at the same time it offers fantastic entertainment value to its audience." |
Tom Long |
Tomato B+ |
Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005) |
"If the premise is wonderfully silly, the pursuit of its end is a dazzling parade of invention and inspiration." |
Tom Long |
Tomato A |
Wanted (2008) |
"Wanted may be the most absolutely stone bonkers, crazy-good movie of the century. Or it may be a gargantuan piece of trash. Chances are it's a combination of the two. But man, does it rock." |
Tom Long |

War of the Worlds (2005) |
"In his latest science-fiction epic, director Steven Spielberg shows he's better at blowing up the world than anyone else alive. Unfortunately, he also shows he has no idea how to put the world back together." |
Tom Long |
Tomato B |
The War Within (2005) |
"This movie doesn't take the easy way out. Instead it tries to track the ripples of devastation caused by misunderstanding and then blind dedication." |

Watchmen (2009) |

The Way of the Gun (2000) |
"Before you rush out to see what all the noise is about, though, know that The Way of the Gun mounts more aural bullets, swagger and pretense than substance." |

We Don't Live Here Anymore (2004) |
"Earnest, overbearing and fully depressing, We Don't Live Here Anymore features a quartet of fine performances that are somewhat undermined by the numbing, one-note tone of the entire enterprise." |
Tom Long |
Tomato 3/4 |
We Were Soldiers (2002) |
"By attributing intelligence, bravery and above all, humanity, to enemy forces as well as to U.S. troops, We Were Soldiers does itself proud." |

Wedding Crashers (2005) |
"No one's going to mistake it for a major piece of cinema, but it's the rare person who won't find themselves consistently laughing aloud . This is one reception you won't want to miss." |

The Wedding Date (2005) |
"This is a movie that wants to break out and be tepid. It would like to dare to be tepid. But it just can't find the energy." |

The Wedding Planner (2001) |
"The work of la Lopez, who is as gifted as she is gorgeous, and by McConaughey, a dreamboat when he’s at ease, is more than compensatory." |

Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins (2008) |
"A large, talented cast is mostly wasted in Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins, one of those movies Hollywood cranks out to celebrate the down-home charms of small town life by exposing the vapidity of showbiz and celebrity." |
Adam Graham |
Tomato 4/4 |
Welcome to Collinwood (2002) |
"The picture runs a mere 84 minutes, but it's no glance. It's a head-turner -- thoughtfully written, beautifully read and, finally, deeply humanizing." |

Wendy and Lucy (2008) |
"The very definition of a small film, Wendy and Lucy nonetheless packs some serious wallop thanks to a quietly extraordinary performance by Michelle Williams." |

What Lies Beneath (2000) |
"For the audience, the picture is basically a 2-hour-and-10-minute chance to watch a major director and his leads in an exercise of self-indulgence." |

What Planet Are You From? (2000) |
"Bottom line, this is American Pie for boys-will -be- boys in the fiftysomething age range." |

What Time Is It There? (2002) |
"Tsai's confidence in the deep power of silence drives home the film's inner convictions. Its surface works coolly, intriguingly and, happily, feebly in opposition to the heart of the matter." |
Susan Stark |
Tomato 3/4 |
What Women Want (2000) |
"It's a romantic comedy with a distinctly modern, delicate but sharp, satirical cutting edge." |
