Tomato

About Schmidt (2002)

"The laughs aren't broad, the tears aren't big, the people aren't special. Which is, of course, what makes them so very special after all."

Robert Wilonsky

Tomato

All or Nothing (2002)

"Though it's become almost redundant to say so, major kudos go to Leigh for actually casting people who look working-class."

Luke Y. Thompson

Tomato

Amandla: A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony (2003)

"A musical document in which determined warriors fire off centuries' worth of melodies like bullets from an AK-47."

Robert Wilonsky

Tomato

American Splendor (2003)

"A gentle, frank and often hysterical love story about two people destined, and occasionally doomed, to be together forever."

Robert Wilonsky

Tomato

Analyze That (2002)

"It's still formulaic, which is no surprise. But no longer is the film forced to spend endless minutes spelling out a character relationship that we already know simply by looking at the poster."

Luke Y. Thompson

Tomato

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)

"At its best it plays like modern-day Marx Brothers in which every single thing that happens makes no sense and serves no purpose and nothing happens for any reason at all."

Robert Wilonsky

Tomato

The Assassination of Richard Nixon (2004)

"Penn's lead performance is the main attraction here, and it's a fine piece of work -- far superior to his overly showy Oscar-winning role last year."

Robert Wilonsky

Tomato

Autumn Spring (2003)

"Without resorting to schmaltz or sticky pathos, director Vladimir Michalek fashions an allegory about aging, friendship and love that equals the best American movies on those tricky subjects, from Cocoon to On Golden Pond."

Bill Gallo

Tomato

The Aviator (2004)

"It's great fun, but nothing more."

Robert Wilonsky

Splat

Adaptation (2002)

"The most overrated movie of the year (of all time?) by people who should know better."

Robert Wilonsky

Splat

After the Sunset (2004)

"The witless inanity of After the Sunset is so numbing that the sole reason for any living creature to sit through it is to marvel at the speed and variety of actress Salma Hayek's costume changes."

Bill Gallo

Splat

Against the Ropes (2003)

"Ryan's mannered toughness looks like play-acting, and she never quite convinces us she's seen the inside of a fight gym, much less that she's worthy to be Rocky in a miniskirt."

Bill Gallo

Splat

The Alamo (2004)

"The result is something that feels very much like an overachieving made-for-TV movie -- a history lesson dolled up like an action movie, with the action relegated to the final third, and even then, the battle is over before it really begins."

Robert Wilonsky

Splat

Alex and Emma (2003)

"Films like this seem to be a dime a dozen these days, as if directors, actors and writers are just going through the motions, figuring the audience won't notice."

Jean Oppenheimer

Splat

Anger Management (2003)

"What's most astonishing is that a film populated by two madmen can grow so wearying and dull."

Robert Wilonsky

Splat

Antwone Fisher (2002)

"Even Howard Stern and Eminem showed more humility in creating their onscreen portrayals than Fisher does."

Luke Y. Thompson

Splat

Anything Else (2003)

"There is nothing to set this work apart from any number of mediocre Allen films."

Jean Oppenheimer

Splat

Around the World in 80 Days (2004)

"Even the 1989 made-for-TV version starring Pierce Brosnan possessed more spark and steam than this lazy, lackluster take."

Robert Wilonsky

Splat

Assault on Precinct 13 (2005)

"Aims to be loud, dumb fun, only it takes itself too seriously to offer anything approaching a good time."

Robert Wilonsky

Splat

Auto Focus (2002)

"Crane, a lecher sporting a cardigan grin, was a bore, and so is much of the movie Schrader has made about him."
