Jackass: Number Two (2006) |
"Some will call this movie a symptom of cultural decay, but if it is, who the hell wants to be cultured?" |
Luke Y. Thompson |
Tomato A |
Jackass: The Movie (2002) |
"This is the funniest film of 2002, whether uptight cinema snobs admit it or not." |
|
Tomato B |
The Jacket (2005) |
"Entertaining B-flick fun, a horror movie with art-house aspirations." |
|
Tomato A- |
Jackie Brown (1997) |
"It's not quite Pulp Fiction, but Jackie Brown is a hip tour de force of Tarantino's criminal universe." |

Jackpot (2001) |
"A surprising winner." |
|
Splat |
Jakob the Liar (1999) |
"Jakob will have audiences wondering why they're sitting through two hours of Holocaust horrors with so little to drive the plot." |
|
Tomato B- |
Japanese Story (2004) |
"The platform gives Collette plenty of room to strut her acting chops, which she does with subtlety." |
|
Tomato B+ |
Jarhead (2005) |
"Mendes does sacrifice a tighter plot and some character development in order to cram in a lot of cool scenes from the book. But in the end, viewers will be discharged with a clear view of war: Even boring ones really do suck." |
|
Splat C- |
Jason X (2002) |
"In space, no one can hear you scream, but you'll be able to hear yourself groan at this Alien-ish rip-off which serves as the 10th installment of the Friday the 13th slasher series." |
|
Splat |
Jawbreaker (1998) |
"A fine cast is wasted here and the culprit is writing that lacks the scabrous wit and campy crackle needed to pull this homage off." |
|
Splat |
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001) |
"It's obvious the cast had more fun making it than you will watching it." |
|
Tomato B- |
Jay Z - Fade to Black (2004) |
"Both elements show the love Jay-Z gets from fans and his peers in the rap game, sure. But while the concert footage is astounding, the studio sessions are so sparse you never quite get a picture of the man behind the image." |

Jeepers Creepers (2001) |
"The end's a groaner, but a majority of this flick offers the best cheap thrills you'll have all summer." |
|
Splat C- |
Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003) |
"You'll be laughing more than screaming." |
|
Tomato B+ |
Jennifer's Body (2009) |
"It's tailor-made for screenings at midnight and slumber parties." |
N.V. Cooper |
Tomato |
Jerry Maguire (1996) |
"It's not coincidental that writer-director Crowe (Singles,Say Anything...) is also in top form, creating a raft of sweetly believable characters and complex relationships." |
|
Splat C+ |
Jersey Girl (2004) |
"A predictable and sugary been-there-before story." |
|
Tomato B+ |
Jesus Camp (2006) |
"Ewing and Grady have created a terrific catalyst for religious and political discourse." |

Tomato A- |
Jet Lag (2003) |
"You'll be surprised that you're this interested in a story that's restricted to an airport." |
|
Splat D |
Jiminy Glick in LaLaWood (2004) |
"This Glick flick balloons from sketch comedy to feature film -- and you can see the stretch marks from the strain." |
|
Tomato |
Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius (2001) |
"Sure, it's little more than an 80-minute Nickelodeon cartoon, but Jimmy's near the top of its class." |

Joe Somebody (2001) |
"Fans of Allen's safe, everyguy humor will get down with it, but most of this fluff stuff packs a pretty weak punch." |

John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars (2001) |
"This is easily the worst movie set on Mars -- or anywhere in a Milky Way." |

Splat C- |
John Q (2002) |
"This preachy, painfully obvious man-against-the-system saga has its heart in the right place -- but its brain got left on the operating table." |
|
Splat D |
John Tucker Must Die (2006) |
"... a gender-reversed youth variant on In the Company of Men -- sans skill, satire or point." |
Luke Y. Thompson |
Tomato B- |
Johnny English (2003) |
"While you don't have to be a super sleuth to see the over-obvious gags coming, Atkinson's elastic mugging usually pulls 'em through." |

Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie (2002) |
"Strangest thing is: It's not as irritating as you might think." |
|
Splat C |
Jonas Brothers - The Concert Experience (2009) |
"OMG, the Jonas Brothers in 3-D! The promise-ring-wearing hotties try to burn down the house, but their Burning Up tour makes for a tepid rock doc." |

Joy Ride (2001) |
"Fun and satisfyingly scary road trip." |
|
Tomato B- |
Joyeux Noël (2006) |
"Yet it all works, because director Christian Carion enacts a nice balancing act between heavy-handed message and low-key drama." |
|
Tomato B+ |
Ju-On: The Grudge (2004) |
"While it's low on blood, it's high on the good stuff like dread, spooky atmospherics and tension." |
|
Splat C- |
Jude (1996) |
"Jude should hobble through the art houses and become obscure itself." |

Julie & Julia (2009) |
"If Ephron finds any parity in the tilting that Powell does at this edible windmill, she doesn't share it with the audience." |
