U-571 (2000) |
"It ain't sunk, but this flick could've used a life raft." |

U-Turn (1997) |
"Remember when you looked forward to seeing a new Oliver Stone film?" |

The U.S. vs. John Lennon (2006) |
"The movie creeps along at times with extraneous material, but it succeeds in doing something unique, by filtering a time of turmoil through the experience of one of the most fascinating artists of our time." |

Tomato B- |
The Ugly Truth (2009) |
"As rom-coms go, this isn't the weakest you'll see this year or month, and the unusual R rating allows it to slip into moments of refreshing edginess." |
Ande Dagan |
Tomato A- |
Ultimate X: The Movie (2002) |
"Even if you can't tell Tony Hawk from Bob Burnquist, you'll still get a rush out of this documentary about the world of extreme sports." |

Ultraviolet (2006) |
"It's a banner year for bad vampire flicks, so Ultraviolet is truly damned by this faint praise: It's not the worst." |
|
Splat C |
Unaccompanied Minors (2006) |
"Just another lame tween screwball comedy (emphasis on the 'screwball', not so much on the 'comedy')." |
Dezhda Gaubert |
Splat D |
The Unborn (2009) |
"Writer/director David S. Goyer, whose niche as a screenwriter is in adapting comic-book tales, gets a few frightening images into the frame, but they're all one-off shocks that do nothing to build tension." |
Alex Markerson |
Splat |
Unbreakable (2000) |
"Brilliant and steady camera work produces an eerie ambiance that keeps audiences hooked. But for what? It all relies too heavily on a payoff that derails before its time." |
|
Tomato B |
Uncovered: The War on Iraq (2004) |
"Methodically presents the Bush Administration's rationale for invading the Iraq and then systematically dismantles it." |
|
Splat D |
Undead (2005) |
"Gore hounds might dig the gross-out effects, but this monster mishmash is far from a graveyard smash." |
|
Splat C |
Under the Same Moon (2008) |
"Whatever you feel about illegal immigration, those affected certainly deserve to have their stories heard, and they definitely deserve less mawkish and by-the-book stories than this." |
Dezhda Gaubert |
Tomato B |
Under the Skin of the City (2003) |
"Bani-Etemad uses practical characters and somber camerawork to tell an inspirational tale and reveal the levels of sexism in Iran." |
|
Tomato B |
Under the Tuscan Sun (2003) |
"Be ready to book a flight to Europe after the flick -- or at least spring for some good Chianti." |
|
Splat C |
Underclassman (2005) |
"The murder plot is far less important here than the film's intention to sell audiences a hot young star who can charmingly mug his way through a movie." |
|
Tomato B |
Undercover Brother (2002) |
"A flick that's so stupid it's smart." |
|
Splat C |
Underdog (2007) |
"Frederik Du Chau transforms the campy '60s and '70s cartoon into a mostly toothless, family-friendly action-comedy." |
James Diers |

Undertow (2004) |
"Green's latest ends up all wet." |

Underworld (2003) |
"After awhile, it's difficult to tell the leather-clad, black-haired good guys from the leather-clad, black-haired bad guys, and when the drama slips into the silly side, things go from dark to dismal." |
|
Splat C |
Underworld: Evolution (2006) |
"... while Evolution has an interesting enough setup, the payoff is underwhelming, unevolved and far from otherworldly." |
|
Tomato B- |
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (2009) |
"Tatopoulos has trimmed the fat for a more-satisfying bloodsucker brawl than we have any right to hope for in a January release." |
Luke Y. Thompson |
Splat D |
Undiscovered (2005) |
"The movie doesn't waste too much time with unnecessary stuff like having an interesting story. Its real job is to make everyone in it look like the most delicious batch of snack cakes ever. It succeeds at that at least." |
|
Tomato B |
Undisputed (2002) |
"Undisputed's an unqualified hit." |
|
Tomato B |
Unfaithful (2002) |
"Unfaithful doesn't add much to the adultery-gone- really-bad genre, but the twists and turns get the job done for a good night out." |
|
Tomato A- |
An Unfinished Life (2005) |
"Director Lasse Hallström's undeniable skill is at work here, all of the performances are pitch-perfect, the scenery is breathtaking, and the values espoused are honest and good. And we'll take a helping of that any day." |

The Uninvited (2009) |

The United States of Leland (2004) |
"An okay head trip." |

Universal Soldier: The Return (1999) |
"There's really no excuse for this unhappy return!" |

Unknown White Male (2005) |
"It's an absorbing visit with a man who sees a stranger every time he looks in the mirror." |
|
Splat C+ |
Unleashed (2005) |
"Bad doggy!" |
|
Tomato A- |
Untold Scandal (2003) |
"This deliciously wicked retelling brings fresh suspense and sorrow to the tale." |

Untraceable (2008) |
"This silly cyber-thriller dies a quick death, whether or not you log on." |
Matt Stevens |
Tomato A |
Up (2009) |
"The celebrated animation studio reaches great heights -- again -- with a surprising story that's about a whole lot more than an old man with a flying house." |
Matt Stevens |
Tomato A- |
Up and Down (2005) |
"Humor is found in the most unlikely of characters here, but most importantly, Hrebejk's view of the everyman (and woman) reminds us that it's a small world after all." |
|
Splat |
Up at the Villa (2000) |
"The gorgeous countryside doesn't make up for a creaky story of love at first sight." |
|
Tomato B+ |
Up for Grabs (2005) |
"Even if you know how this ends, this story will keep you in its grips." |
|
Tomato B+ |
Up in the Air (2009) |
"Boasting solid performances, this is a movie of the moment, but might be too close to home for some viewers." |
Luke Y. Thompson |
Tomato B+ |
The Upside of Anger (2005) |
"There are a few loose subplots in Mike Binder's film, but that only adds to the sense of its real-life charm. You'll be upset if you miss it." |
|
Splat C+ |
Uptown Girls (2003) |
"It's really just a pastiche of scenes, most which aren't interesting." |
|
Tomato |
Urban Legend (1998) |
"The gimmicky premise keeps this tension-filled scarefest afloat." |
|
Splat |
Urban Legends: Final Cut (2000) |
"Groaning plot twists and dramatic overacting." |

Ushpizin (2005) |
"Ushpizin's prayer-ends-all-hardships plot is one-note. But the flick does offer hope." |
