Race to Witch Mountain (2009)

"The planet-hopping children have special talents -- telekinesis, telepathy etc. -- although it is the high-wattage lovability of Mr. Rock that's the real superpower on display here."

Rachel Getting Married (2008)

"Demme's finest work since The Silence of the Lambs, and a movie that tingles with life."

Radio (2003)

"A movie overloaded with noble signifiers."

Rain (2002)

"Freights a young girl's self-destructive eagerness to lose her virginity with so much danger and even horror that it's as if the events were trying to make up for the film's previous lack of drama."

Raise Your Voice (2004)

"[Duff] makes me long for the comparatively Dostoyevskian depths of Sandra Dee."

Raising Flagg (2007)

"Too bad the offscreen intrigue doesn't make up for what flags in Flagg."

Raising Victor Vargas (2003)

"The writer-director, Peter Sollett, cast the film with kids from his own neighborhood, who give themselves over to the camera with a spirit of improvised play that morphs into vivid, layered acting."

Random Hearts (1999)

"Pollack lingers over the details of the plane crash, and the dialogue is a series of morose retro howlers."

Ready to Rumble (2000)

"Moronic and insulting."

The Real Cancun (2003)

"Works, in its sleazy-chintzy- lively way, as a documentary version of the American Pie films with a character for everyone in the target demo to claim as his or her own."

Real Women Have Curves (2002)

"It's refreshingly low on the kind of Cinema of Empowerment pedantry that often goes along with stories about ethnic families, sweatshop working conditions, or women confronting issues of weight and body image."

Rebound (2005)

"The whole thing feels like a half-day of community service, which Lawrence walks through good-naturedly."

The Reckoning (2004)

"Dafoe makes Martin's role as head of the company as naturalistic as that of any contemporary SoHo creative director."

The Recruit (2003)

"A CIA thriller that plays some very tricky and entertaining spy games."

Red Cliff (2009)

"There's plenty of vivid action to fill two and a half hours in John Woo's Chinese historical war epic Red Cliff, a rewarding change of terrain and era for the inventive Hong Kong director."

Red Dragon (2002)

"A thriller made from a completist's checklist rather than with a cultist's passion."

Red Eye (2005)

"A good measure of the movie's white-knuckle fun comes from Craven's old-hand familiarity with the way thrillers tick, predicated on the smallest and most banal of missed connections, the kind that get an audience to go crazy."

Red Planet (2000)

"[The actors] stand around mouthing dry as Martian dust dialogue."
