Tomato 7/10 |
Nacho Libre (2006) |
"Jack Black finds the perfect role." |
John Wirt |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Nancy Drew (2007) |
"The new Nancy Drew isn't great but it is fun and, best of all, Emma Roberts breathes lively presence into this classic character." |
John Wirt |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Nanny (1965) |
"Bette Davis as the baddest of nannies. Scary in its modest way." |
John Wirt |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Nanny Diaries (2007) |
"Every character in The Nanny Diaries is ill-defined, including Johansson's floundering nanny. Exhibiting a dull to puzzled expression, Johansson gives a shapeless performance in an embarrassing misfire of a movie." |
John Wirt |
Tomato |
Nanny McPhee (2006) |
"Despite the heavy makeup and prosthetics, Emma Thompson shapes a touching and mysterious character. Nanny McPhee is a fine film for the whole family.

Splat 2/4 |
The Narrows (2009) |
"Shuffling, mumbling and musing about his loser's life, Vincent D'Onofrio stealthily steals the picture." |
John Wirt |
Splat 5/10 |
The Nativity Story (2006) |
"The film has moving moments, but it's also timid and tentative." |
John Wirt |
Splat |
The New World (2005) |
"Fields of wind-blown grass, rippling inland waterways and the hum of nature are more important to Malick than dialogue and plot." |
John Wirt |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Next Day Air (2009) |
"Best to refuse this delivery" |
John Wirt |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008) |
"Freewheeling fun and romance make Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist special enough to become a future romantic comedy classic." |
John Wirt |
Tomato |
The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) |
"The bizarre but beguiling characters in Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas truly do dwell in a world of their own." |
John Wirt |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Nine (2009) |
"Nine doesn't achieve the dynamic range that might have made it far more captivating than it is." |
John Wirt |
Splat 2/5 |
Nine Months (1995) |
"Quickly forgettable romantic comedy. Not even the promising pairing of Grant and Moore can salvage it." |
John Wirt |
Tomato 4/4 |
No Country for Old Men (2007) |
"Joel and Ethan Coen have a great catalog of films behind them, but they paint their masterpiece with No Country For Old Men." |
John Wirt |
Splat 2/4 |
No Reservations (2007) |
"Another zesty foreign flick ground into American hamburger." |
John Wirt |
Tomato 4/5 |
Nobody's Fool (1994) |
"Newman in fine late-career form." |
John Wirt |
Splat |
Norbit (2007) |
"Somewhere between a minstrel show and a lesser Jerry Lewis movie there's Norbit." |
John Wirt |
Tomato |
North Country (2005) |
"North Country wins its case with powerful moments and exceptional performances." |
John Wirt |
Tomato 8/10 |
Notes on a Scandal (2006) |
"Notes on a Scandal bubbles with brilliant writing and acting. The arc of its great story rises like a monster from dark water." |
John Wirt |
Splat |
November (2005) |
"Maybe November wanted to be the missing link between more conventional art-house films and the hallucinogenic dreams of David Lynch. It fails.
" |
John Wirt |
Splat 5/10 |
The Number 23 (2007) |
"Once all the blood and madness run out, The Number 23 is one of those disposable movies that so often fill the film industry's off season." |
