Tomato 3/5 |
The Nanny Diaries (2007) |
"The culture clash, or rather class crash that ensues as middle and upper mix uncertainly is far more insightful and, dare I say it, humane, that the usual take on such things." |
Andrea Chase |
Tomato 4/5 |
Nanny McPhee (2006) |
"There is something deeply satisfying about a fable that . . . pays strict attention to the serious moral lesson to be learned from it while also strictly adhering to a loopy, almost anarchic sense of fun." |
Andrea Chase |
Tomato 3/5 |

New in Town (2009) |
"Doggedly working through a cornucopia of clichés and hackneyed plot devices, it suffers from the delusion that it is crisp and original" |
Andrea Chase |
Tomato 3/5 |

"(Craig) Sherman solidly sets a counterpoint to the comedy, by creating a palpable whiff of desperation emanating from everyone concerned" |
Andrea Chase |
Tomato 5/5 |
The New World (2005) |
"the cinematic equivalent of a tone poem with an emotional impact that works on more than the conscious level. This is history that is not just seen, but felt, and absorbed into one's very soul" |
Andrea Chase |

Night at the Museum (2006) |
"The very best thing about this fantasy aimed squarely at kids is that it reminds us all of how really great Dick Van Dyke is and how much we've missed seeing him in something other than a rerun." |

Night Watch (2005) |
"there is something dynamic in the cool, stylized visuals and the world-weary zeitgeist punctuated with fanciful almost heretical whimsy." |

The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) |
"inspiring, wacky, and infused with Burton's unique romanticism suffused with, but not subsumed by, a gothic sensibility" |
Andrea Chase |

Nights in Rodanthe (2008) |
"perfectly calibrated to jerk tears with the precision of the atomic clock at the U.S. Naval Observatory, and with the irresistible insistence of an industrial grade milking machine" |

Tomato 5/5 |
No Country for Old Men (2007) |

No Reservations (2007) |
"even the tiramisu (prepared in Tupperware(tm)yet) fails to be tempting, or even moderately interesting. Any film that can make one of dessert-doms most divine creations seem drab isn't just bad, it's criminal" |
