Tomato B-	Bad News Bears (2005)	"Although Bad News Bears is not a shot-for-shot remake of the original, it is strikingly similar to the point where its existence is hard to defend."	Mark Pfeiffer
Tomato B	The Bank Job (2008)	"Executed with machine-like precision, The Bank Job is a ripping good caper with plenty of interesting twists."	Mark Pfeiffer
Splat D+	Be Cool (2005)	"...attempts to look effortless in seeming hip, but the wink-wink, nudge-nudge jokes about sequels, Hollywood, and the music world come off as familiar and self-congratulatory."	Mark Pfeiffer
Splat C-	Because I Said So (2007)	"Some of the nonsense could be overlooked as part of rom com conventions, but Because I Said So's shrillness makes for an exhausting experience."	Mark Pfeiffer
Tomato B	Because of Winn-Dixie (2005)	"The untidy answers and selfless actions in Because of Winn-Dixie stand out from the family films populated with bratty kids and clueless adults."	Mark Pfeiffer
Splat C	Being Julia (2004)	"While much of Being Julia's appeal stems from no one being as fabulous as [Julia] is, the lack of a worthy sparring partner diminishes the fun."	Mark Pfeiffer
Splat C+	The Benchwarmers (2006)	"The Benchwarmers is funnier than it probably had any right to be, but the tedious repetition of the tournament games strands the film on second rather than bringing it in to score."	Mark Pfeiffer
Splat C+	Big Momma's House 2 (2006)	"Big Momma's House 2 lacks comedic momentum to sustain the ridiculousness of Lawrence as Big Momma, but it's a welcome break from the star's tough cop act and his abominable family film turn in Rebound."	Mark Pfeiffer
Tomato B	Bigger, Stronger, Faster* (2008)	"It raises big, intriguing questions that rarely, if ever, come up in the hubbub about steroid use in professional athletics, particularly Major League Baseball."	Mark Pfeiffer
Splat C+	Birth (2004)	"Birth channels the style and tone of [Bu�uel classics] exceptionally well, but ultimately the dramatic resolution is unsatisfying."	Mark Pfeiffer
Splat D	Blade: Trinity (2004)	"This visually flat, dramatically incoherent film puts a stake through the heart of the series."	Mark Pfeiffer
Tomato B-	Blades of Glory (2007)	"Blades of Glory has the sport's absurd elements down cold and skates by on Ferrell's comic bluster. Even the French judge would agree."	Mark Pfeiffer
Splat D-	Blood and Chocolate (2007)	"Blood and Chocolate raises questions about the individual versus the group and tradition versus progress but...is more interested in flaunting the film's lame special effects than mining its thematic potential."	Mark Pfeiffer
Splat D	Bobby (2006)	"While it includes excerpts of some RFK speeches, Bobby provides no insight into the man and his politics, choosing instead to flit among the insipid soap opera storylines."	Mark Pfeiffer
Tomato A	Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)	"Borat is the rare comedy that operates without a safety net. Cohen and director Larry Charles' film provides constant laughter and surprises while daring the viewer to be rightfully offended."	Mark Pfeiffer
Tomato B-	Born Into Brothels (2004)	"Born Into Brothels simmers with righteous anger, but it never boils over."	Mark Pfeiffer
Tomato B	The Break-Up (2006)	"While consistently funny, The Break-Up deals in bitterness and revenge, sometimes in ways that cut closer to the bone than most fluffy romantic comedies."	Mark Pfeiffer
Tomato B	Breakfast on Pluto (2005)	"Breakfast on Pluto's novelistic feel can seem disjointed, but ultimately the structure frees the film to flit from one interesting encounter to another with a minimum of connecting material."	Mark Pfeiffer
Tomato A-	Brick (2006)	"Johnson's sources of inspiration for Brick put forth tough dicks and dames in a cold, uncaring universe. Glum teens are a clever and natural evolution for the genre."	Mark Pfeiffer
Splat C	Bride and Prejudice (2005)	"There�s much to like about Bride & Prejudice...but the end result looks and feels like a cut-rate version of the Bollywood and Hollywood sensibilities."	Mark Pfeiffer
Splat C	Bridge to Terabithia (2007)	"While it's admirable that Bridge to Terabithia isn't sugar-coated, more often than not it plays as miserabilism for kids."	Mark Pfeiffer
Tomato B	The Bridges at Toko-Ri (1955)	"The Bridges at Toko-Ri effectively depicts the sacrifices and courage of those who went to war."	Mark Pfeiffer
Splat D	Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (2004)	"An over the top, ham-fisted replay of the original."	Mark Pfeiffer
Tomato B	Brothers (2005)	"Told predominantly through handheld close-ups, Danish director Susanne Bier's intimate drama Brothers examines the cost of war on the domestic front."	Mark Pfeiffer
Splat D+	The Brothers Grimm (2005)	"The Brothers Grimm is fascinating but only in the way that watching a good director misfire this badly can be."	Mark Pfeiffer
Splat C+	The Bucket List (2007)	"Although The Bucket List shouldn't sit well on the stomach, it goes down as easily as meals through an IV."	Mark Pfeiffer
Splat C	Bug (2007)	"Bug straddles the lines of genre seediness and high art pretension, but it's not enough of a cheap thrill or mindbender to succeed at either."	Mark Pfeiffer
