D.E.B.S. (2005) |
"Pretty disarming overall, and has a nicely satiric edge to it." |
David Noh |
Tomato |
The Da Vinci Code (2006) |
"A mystery thriller that entertains." |
Doris Toumarkine |
Splat |
Daddy Day Camp (2007) |
"A treacly underdog story with kids who are either stereotypes or miniature adults, with the real adults engaged in bug-eyed mugging and limb-waving that would have been too broad for silent movies." |
Frank Lovece |
Splat |
Daddy Day Care (2003) |
"The title tells it all, and when you cast Eddie Murphy in that role, you know you've got the attention of the family trade who will have an almost hypocritically high tolerance for raunchy gags." |
Harry Haun |
Splat |
Daddy's Little Girls (2007) |
"The action bogs down in a torrent of clichés." |
Bruce Feld |
Tomato |
Dahmer (2002) |
"Baby-faced Renner is eerily convincing as this bland blank of a man with unimaginable demons within." |
David Noh |
Tomato |
Dalton Trumbo's Johnny Got His Gun (2008) |
"McKenzie has the perfect boy-next-door looks as well as the physical intensity and ardent naturalism to hold your interest. It’s a tour-de-force performance, and Joseph’s camerawork is fluid and sensitive." |
David Noh |
Splat |
Daltry Calhoun (2005) |
"It seems everyone involved meant well, but this one moves like an empty boat in a pond." |
Kevin Allison |
Splat |
The Damned United (2009) |
"The rise and fall of Brian Clough, fired after six weeks on the job from England's most successful soccer team. Excellent performances highlight an otherwise tepid biopic." |
Daniel Eagan |
Tomato |
Dan in Real Life (2007) |
"A film of quiet but true pleasures, Dan in Real Life affirms that there's a real movie career still ahead for Steve Carell." |

Dance With Me (1998) |
"Sparkles just like an old-fashioned musical--it's beautifully designed and skillfully directed." |

Dancemaker (1998) |
"A pleasingly full portrait of an important American artist, struggling to work in an ever-endangered field." |
David Noh |
Tomato |
Dancer in the Dark (1999) |
"Likely to alienate purists but may charm a younger audience drawn by Icelandic actress-singer-songwriter Björk." |
Ed Kelleher |
Tomato |
The Dancer Upstairs (2003) |
"Despite its identity crisis, The Dancer Upstairs is eminently entertaining -- if a film about murderous terrorists and corrupt bureaucrats can be said to amuse." |
Rex Roberts |
Splat |
Dancer, Texas (1998) |
"The characters and their emotions are painted with a big, sloppy brush. Texas-sized." |
David Luty |
Tomato |
Dancing at Lughnasa (1998) |
"A deftly structured memory piece as beautifully sad as it is charming." |
Ed Kelleher |
Splat |
Dancing at the Blue Iguana (2001) |
"Too often the uneven script is either hopelessly strained or tediously lackadaisical." |
Bruce Feld |
Tomato |
Dandelion (2005) |
"Dandelion is Mark Milgard's directorial debut, and it is a worthy one." |

Dangerous Beauty (1998) |
"There's an essential insipidity here, matched by its predictable music score." |
David Noh |
Splat |
The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys (2002) |
"Though certainly original in form, Altar Boys requires a taste for Swamp Thing-type animation, doubled with a deafening score." |
Erica Abeel |
Splat |
Danny Deckchair (2004) |
"A guy on a chair floating around in the air is not a strong enough hook on which to hang a plot, and Ifans does not prove here that he is strong enough an actor to carry a movie." |
Shirley Sealy |
Tomato |
Dare Not Walk Alone (2008) |
"Even though this production was completed in 2006, the racial politics of the current presidential election make his film all the more significant." |
Eric Monder |
Splat |
Daredevil (2003) |
"Simply put, Daredevil is horribly directed; the visual style ranges from derivative to ugly and the action sequences are often incoherent." |
Ethan Alter |
Tomato |
Darfur Now (2007) |
"An extremely moving and informative documentary." |
Katey Rich |
Splat |
The Darjeeling Limited (2007) |
"Arguably the most self-indulgent and silly of his five-film oeuvre...The emperor's new clothes have only gotten more expensive and Asian-inspired." |
Doris Toumarkine |
Tomato |
Dark Blue (2003) |
"Audiences game for a nasty, turbulent ride, which is mercifully relieved by some neat performances and jaunty pacing, will strap in their seatbelts." |
Doris Toumarkine |
Splat |
Dark Blue World (2001) |
"Flawed by a screenplay that promises a war epic but delivers only a predictable love story with the war as a backdrop." |

Dark City (1998) |
"A surprisingly haunting confection." |

Dark Days (2000) |
"A tribute to its characters' indomitable spirits." |

The Dark Knight (2008) |
"Takes the expectations attached to superhero movies and subverts and reverses them in unexpected ways." |
Frank Lovece |
Splat |
Dark Matter (2008) |
"Dark Matter is certainly interesting, and easy to sit through, but not as compelling as it wants to be." |
Lewis Beale |

Dark Streets (2008) |
"Time for a moratorium on film noir attempts." |
David Noh |

Dark Water (2005) |
"A moody, quirky movie that, although flawed, is worth a walk to the theatre in a gentle rain." |
Rex Roberts |
Tomato |
DarkBlueAlmostBlack (2007) |
"Daniel Sanchez Arevalo makes an impressive feature debut with this thoughtful, mordantly funny, deeply human film." |
David Noh |
Splat |
Darkness Falls (2003) |
"Despite a few suitably creepy moments early on, the film quickly settles into a rapid-fire cutting style that renders much of the action incoherent." |
Ethan Alter |
Splat |
Darshan - the Embrace (2006) |
"Lacks both narrative edge and a complex world view." |
Eric Monder |
Splat |
Date Movie (2006) |
"There's nary a laugh to be found in this relentlessly idiotic parody of popular romantic comedies, which manages the difficult feat of seeming overlong at just 80 minutes." |
Ethan Alter |
Tomato |
Dave Chappelle's Block Party (2006) |
"It's no Last Waltz, but this crowd-pleasing concert film offers an entertaining mix of music and comedy." |
Ethan Alter |
Tomato |
David & Layla (2008) |
"The picture takes its time in developing momentum; once attained, it becomes a watchable, optimistic cri de coeur." |
Harvey S. Karten |
Tomato |
David Hockney: The Colors of Music (2005) |
"After seeing this film and the joyous miracles he has wrought on the operatic stage, he fully deserves to be called a master of the form." |

"Oh-so-derivative, trite and ultimately cloying." |

Splat |
Dawn of the Dead (2004) |
"The film, one-note and painfully cynical, is all about bloodletting, impalement, slashing, beheadings, flesh-devouring, massive explosions, human roadkill and foul language, all to the max." |
Doris Toumarkine |

The Day After Tomorrow (2004) |
