Ma Mere (2005) |
"Yeah, there's tons of sex, but deep philosophical ideas also pop up." |

Tomato B+ |
The Machinist (2004) |
"Though the film starts slowly, it unfolds irresistibly, thanks mainly to Bale's full-bodied, soulful performance." |
|
Tomato A- |
Machuca (2005) |
"Wonderfully acted and sensitively told." |
|
Splat |
Mad About Mambo (2000) |
"It's a sweet, funny story, and the choreography is mildly interesting, but we've seen this dance before." |

Mad Love (2001) |
"For all the high-court histrionics, this royally flushes." |
|
Splat C+ |
Mad Money (2008) |
"Glenn Gers' script is peppered with a few funny lines but never takes full advantage of the premise's comedic potential." |
Matt Stevens |
Splat C+ |
Madagascar (2005) |
"No king of the jungle, just a loud piece of light summer family fluff." |
|
Tomato B |
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008) |
"Unlike most sequels, Madagascar 2 is actually funnier -- and better -- than the original." |
Dezhda Gaubert |
Tomato A- |
Madame Sata (2003) |
"It's a gritty exploration of poverty, class, race and sexuality, and, like the film's star, it succeeds on its own hardscrabble terms." |
|
Tomato |
Made (2001) |
"Consider these Made men reinstated." |
|
Splat C+ |
Made of Honor (2008) |
"The tension between the leads is almost lost in the white noise of vindictive bridesmaids, fussy future in-laws and one too many dirty sex jokes, leading right up to the oh-so-predictable grand finale." |
Dezhda Gaubert |
Splat C |
Made-Up (2004) |
"If Made-Up sounds all over the place, it is. And we don't suggest you follow." |
|
Splat C- |
Madison (2005) |
"This one's a little soggy." |
|
Tomato |
Maelström (2002) |
"Sucks you into its vortex with offbeat humor, moody photography, and -- despite some stylistic gimmickry -- scenes of surprising honesty." |

Tomato A- |
The Magdalene Sisters (2003) |
"The individual stories told in the film resonate less than the oppressive environment evoked, which is depicted in painstaking, and painful, detail." |
|
Tomato |
Magnolia (1999) |
"Simply compelling." |
|
Splat C |
Maid in Manhattan (2002) |
"Do not disturb yourself with this flick." |

The Majestic (2001) |

Tomato B- |
Making Grace |
"Grace is most graceful when dealing with issues specific to gay parenting--fertility options, legal concerns and relatives' reactions." |
|
Splat C- |
Malibu's Most Wanted (2003) |
"Some cracks -- and Snoop Dogg voicing a talking rat -- are funny, sure, but Malibu quickly becomes a repetitious beat of Kennedy not getting it." |
|
Splat C |
Mambo Italiano (2003) |
"Pretty unsatisfying." |
|
Splat C |
Mamma Mia! (2008) |
"Mamma Mia! lacks even one big fantastic set piece; visually, each musical number is chopped up into tiny little bits." |
Dezhda Gaubert |
Splat F |
The Man (2005) |
"The only good thing here is that the movie is a merciful 83 minutes." |
|
Splat C- |
A Man Apart (2003) |
"Even for fans of this stuff, this drug bust is pretty much, well, a bust." |
|
Splat C |
The Man from Elysian Fields (2002) |
"It's ultimately difficult to, er, get excited over this wobbly and obvious tale." |

Man of the House (2005) |

Splat C- |
Man of the Year (2006) |
"Instead of a highly relevant political satire, writer-director Barry Levinson takes the easy way out and churns a paint-by-numbers tale of corporate malfeasance. Guess he had no special interests in creating a smart, savvy comedy." |
Dezhda Gaubert |
Tomato B+ |
Man on Fire (2004) |
"Washington's charisma and Fanning's old-soul charm hoist this revenge film above the rest." |
|
Tomato A- |
Man on the Train (2003) |
"Fans of the subtitled, the offbeat and the intimate shouldn't miss this Train." |
|

The Man Who Copied (2005) |

|
Splat |
The Man Who Cried (2001) |
"This piece poorly serves the talents of gifted Orlando director Sally Potter." |

The Man Who Wasn't There (2001) |
"The tale's somewhat slow, but it's so visually engrossing you can almost forgive when the flick ventures down one too many odd side stories." |
|
Tomato A |
The Man Without a Past (2003) |
"Although this 2003 Oscar nominee didn't take the golden boy home (Nowhere in Africa got it instead), this is definitely a film with a great future in the art-house circuit." |
|
Splat C+ |
Management (2009) |
"Another Psycho remake? Not quite -- this is actually a slightly unsettling romantic comedy starring Jennifer Aniston and Steve Zahn." |
Luke Y. Thompson |
Tomato A- |
The Manchurian Candidate (2004) |
"Demme takes his time, letting the masterful actors do their thing and letting the eerie momentum slowly build." |

Manderlay (2006) |
"There's nothing derivative about von Trier's telling, style and ultimate effect." |

Manic (2003) |
"It's a serious, effective first film that deserves your attention, even if it isn't especially fun to watch." |
