Tomato A- |
Baadasssss! (2004) |
"The tribute is touching, not only in Van Peebles' dedication, but also in his honest portrayal that doesn't overlook dad's periodic megalomania and paternal failures." |
|
Tomato |
Babe: Pig in the City (1998) |
"A surrealistic spectacle!" |
|
Splat C |
Babel (2006) |
"...A feel-good movie for the politically correct that sets up some intriguing characters and premises but resolves them all with a sledgehammer of self-righteousness." |
Luke Y. Thompson |
Tomato |
Baby Boy (2001) |
"Baby Boy's tale may not be the best slice of life to experience, but Singleton delivers it with an authenticity and compassion that slams the serious issues home -- for everyone." |
|
Tomato A- |
Baby Mama (2008) |
"It's a perfectly bred combination of razor-sharp satire and female buddy comedy." |
Dezhda Gaubert |
Splat |
Babylon A.D. (2008) |
"Unfortunately, an abbreviated running time seems to have been the studio's primary concern, with...an infuriatingly truncated ending that appears to be missing about 30 minutes worth of plot" |

Tomato A- |
Backyard (2003) |
"Get reeeeeady to wince." |
|
Tomato B- |
Bad Boys II (2003) |
"The overdone movie could've shaved off about half of the action -- and that surprisingly raw showing of gore -- and would have been just fine. But at least you know you're getting your money's worth." |
|
Splat C- |
Bad Company (2002) |
"Any would-be thrills are just one rehashed action-movie gimmick after another." |
|
Tomato A |
Bad Education (2004) |
"There are several good reasons to see Bad Education, but one great one: Gael García Bernal." |
|
Tomato B |
Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009) |
"This isn't as over-the-top as, say, The Wicker Man. But it is an engaging cop caper complete with Cage craziness, and that's enough." |

Bad News Bears (2005) |
"This is a winner in our book." |
|
Splat C |
Bad Santa (2003) |
"It's surprisingly witless and one-note, so this is only for the truly demented Grinches out there." |
|
Tomato |
Bait (2000) |
"The film capitalizes on Foxx's comedic strengths and is better off because of it." |
|
Tomato B- |
The Ballad of Jack and Rose (2005) |
"Director Rebecca Miller's latest is obvious, heavy-handed and muddled. Still, this examination of a father-daughter relationship, with a side of pudding-headed politics, isn't without merit." |

Ballets Russes (2005) |
"Even if you don't know anything about ballet, this amazing documentary will leave you walking on air." |
|
Splat C- |
Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002) |
"For a movie with so much fire, this one totally lacks heat." |
|
Splat C+ |
Balls of Fury (2007) |
"This Ping-Pong-themed spoof of low-budget spy thrillers and martial-arts punchfests gets a few wicked shots in...but too often finds itself without a paddle." |
Alex Markerson |
Splat |
Bamboozled (2000) |
"As usual, his dogmatic politics blind [Lee] from making a coherent movie that both services his message and entertains." |
|
Splat D |
Bandido (2004) |
"This cliche-ridden 'one last heist' flick is stocked to the brim with straight-to- DVD signifiers." |

Bangkok Dangerous (2001) |
"This one aims to thrill and won't disappoint those with strong stomachs." |

Bangkok Dangerous (2008) |
"[A] stylish but laborious thriller." |
Alex Markerson |
Splat C- |
The Bank Job (2008) |
"There's no style, flash or flow to these proceedings -- the story proceeds as if by rote, a recital of events that's always a few paces behind any able-minded viewer." |
Alex Markerson |
Tomato |
Baran (2002) |
"A poignant story of humanity and love that anyone can understand." |
|
Tomato B |
The Barbarian Invasions (2003) |
"As a family drama, the film succeeds with the sort of bitter humor we look to the French to deliver." |
|
Tomato B+ |
Barbershop (2002) |
"This may seem too homespun, but the film manages to avoid mawkishness and will win you over with its good heart." |

Barnyard: The Original Party Animals (2006) |
"[T]he premise of this movie assumes the very idea of animals talking must be side-splitting... but writer-director Steve Oedekerk doesn't give them many humorous things to say." |
Chuck Nundrum |
Splat F |
Bartleby (2002) |
"Wanna know how to make 80 minutes magically feel like five hours? Just sit through this dragging adaptation of the little-known Herman Melville novella 'Bartleby the Scrivener.'" |
|
Splat C- |
Basic (2003) |
"Basically, this is a bad film that tries to confuse you into thinking it's good." |
|
Splat D |
Basic Instinct 2 (2006) |
"But this time around, Stone portrays Catherine Tramell more like a desperate old floozy than a take-no-prisoners man-eater, and there's no doubt she's the evil one -- which takes almost all the fun out of it." |

Battle for Terra (2009) |
"Like in many sci-fi movies, the script vastly underestimates the size of actual planets -- couldn't the humans settle on a different continent or something?" |
