Ma Mere (2005) |
"Most of the screenplay consists of meandering and inebriated characters talking just as high-falutin'." |

Ma Vie En Rose (1997) |
"Director Alain Berliner and screenwriter Chris vender Stappen have created one of the most authentic, touching households ever put on film." |
David Noh |
Tomato 3/5 |
Maborosi (1995) |
"Widow tries to find out why her husband killed himself. Slow-paced but moving Japanese drama." |
Daniel Eagan |
Splat |
Macbeth (2007) |
"It's directed as if by some mad Goth disco queen, utterly tweaked on crystal meth." |
David Noh |
Tomato |
The Machinist (2004) |
"Anderson builds up suspense quite brilliantly, using a deliberate pace that draws the viewer into Trevor's strange world." |
Lewis Beale |
Tomato |
Machuca (2005) |
"A visually stirring film that asks many questions about Chile's 1973 coup, without providing any easy answers." |
Matthew Smith |
Splat |
Mad City (1997) |
"Has a fairly good view of the Big Picture, but its dramatic details never come into satisfying focus." |
Kevin Lally |
Tomato |
Mad Detective (2008) |
"A freewheeling narrative that twists around its central themes with manic intensity." |
Daniel Eagan |
Tomato |
Mad Hot Ballroom (2005) |
"At a time when funding for school programs is being slashed, Mad Hot Ballroom couldn't send a better message about how important art can be to children." |
Daniel Eagan |

Mad Love (1995) |
"Despite the old-fashioned ideology, at least Mad Love is good to look at." |
Eric Monder |
Splat |
Mad Love (2001) |
"Yes, one enjoys seeing Joan grow from awkward young woman to strong, determined monarch, but her love for the philandering Philip only diminishes her stature." |
Eric Monder |
Tomato |
Mad Money (2008) |
"Mad Money> proves both fresh and funny and, in an odd way, uplifting in its moral ambiguity." |
Shirley Sealy |
Tomato |
Madadayo (1993) |
"A masterly work, with Kurosawa, then 83, still capable of surprising an audience and creating indelible images." |
Kevin Lally |
Tomato |
Madagascar (2005) |
"A likeable and loose-limbed addition to the ever-growing CGI family." |
Kevin Lally |
Tomato |
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008) |
"Sitcom-like sequel to the 2005 movie about clueless New York zoo animals bungling in the jungle, this story about a lion king is no Lion King but a perfectly funny diversion that improves on the original. And the penguins are still psychotic." |
Frank Lovece |
Splat |
Madame Sata (2003) |
"In spite of all the cinematic finery and virtuosity, the hero and story are." |
Doris Toumarkine |
Tomato |
Made (2001) |
"An assured directing debut studded with cleverly realized moments." |
Maitland McDonagh |
Splat |
Made of Honor (2008) |
"Another wedding-themed romantic comedy that fizzles when it should fizz." |
Wendy Weinstein |
Tomato |
Made-Up (2004) |
"A fun, irresistibly charming movie." |
Shirley Sealy |
Splat |
Madea's Family Reunion (2006) |
"If there's one thing that Reunion doesn't lack, it's good intentions. Unfortunately, good intentions don't automatically guarantee a good movie." |
Ethan Alter |
Tomato |
Madeline (1998) |
"Clever production and costume design reflect the simplicity of Bemelmans' drawings, and keep the audience firmly in touch with the author's whimsical sensibilities." |
Maria Garcia |
Splat |
Madison (2005) |
"As the clichés mount up, it's easy to see why the film has been waiting for a release since 2001.

Maestro (2005) |
"A spirited doc." |
David Noh |
Splat |
Mafia! (1998) |
"With classic gangster films currently out of vogue, Mafia! can't shoot anything but blanks." |
Ethan Alter |
Tomato |
Mafioso (1962) |
"An exuberant and always riveting mosaic of comedy, drama, social comment, suspense, psychological insight and travelogue." |
Doris Toumarkine |
Splat |
The Magdalene Sisters (2003) |
"The real-life story behind The Magdalene Sisters is harrowing enough without writer-director Peter Mullan's melodramatic embellishments." |
Daniel Eagan |
Tomato |
The Magic Gloves (2006) |
"The appeal here--and it's a strong one--comes from writer-director Rejtman's great understanding of, and empathy for, the comedy of life." |
Shirley Sealy |
Splat |
Magnificent Desolation: Walking on the Moon 3D (2005) |
"As contrived as its title, Magnificent Desolation has the look and feel of a NASA fundraiser." |
Daniel Eagan |
Splat |
Magnolia (1999) |
"Overlong, self-indulgent and often laughable." |
Eric Monder |
Tomato |
The Maid (2009) |
"Small-scale but absorbing drama from Chile about an upper-middle-class family and their territorial maid." |
Doris Toumarkine |
Tomato |
Maid in Manhattan (2002) |
"The film works largely through its cannily assembled cast." |
David Noh |
Tomato |
Mail Order Wife (2005) |
"Like a Farrelly Brothers movie, Mail Order Wife tries to be both politically correct and incorrect at the same time. The results are entertaining, but may cause uneasy mixed feelings." |
Eric Monder |
Splat |
The Majestic (2001) |
"In a haze of generic nostalgia, The Majestic hammers home themes of patriotism and family values, all the while rewriting history for its own purposes." |
Eric Monder |
Tomato |
Make it Funky! (2005) |
"Lively tribute to New Orleans' musical traditions takes on an added poignancy in the wake of Hurricane Katrina." |
Daniel Eagan |
Tomato |
Maléna (2000) |
"The plot is thin, but its bustling construction dazzles." |
Peter Henne |
Splat |
Malibu's Most Wanted (2003) |
"This cheaply thrown-together farce offers only fitful amusement." |
David Noh |
Tomato |
Mama Africa (2002) |
"Otto-Sallies has a real filmmaker's eye." |
David Noh |
Tomato |
Mambo Italiano (2003) |
"The characters and conflicts of Mambo Italiano may sound familiar, but smart humor ... delicious performances, near-edible production design and slick cinematography and editing set this fine work apart." |
Doris Toumarkine |
Tomato |
Mamma Mia! (2008) |
"The musical numbers have been competently and energetically choreographed." |
David Noh |
Splat |
The Man (2005) |
"While both actors are too professional to simply phone their performances in, they must have realized early on that they were fighting a losing battle against the material." |
Ethan Alter |
Tomato |
A Man Apart (2003) |
"About two-thirds fun and one-third ghastly, the film will keep Diesel's fans satisfied without forming many new ones." |
Daniel Eagan |
Tomato 5/5 |
A Man for All Seasons (1966) |
"Outstanding adaptation of Robert Bolt's play detailing battle between Sir Thomas More and King Henry VIII" |
Daniel Eagan |

The Man from Elysian Fields (2002) |
"Garcia and the other actors help make the wobbly premise work." |
Eric Monder |

Man in the Chair (2007) |

David Noh |
Tomato 3/5 |
Man in the Gray Flannel Suit (1956) |
"Dated but still effective soap opera from the Sloan Wilson novel" |
Daniel Eagan |
Splat |
The Man in the Iron Mask (1998) |
"Alongside previous men in the iron mask, the '98 contender doesn't amount to much." |
Harry Haun |

The Man of My Life (2007) |
"A special, often beautiful and profound film." |
David Noh |

Man of the Century (1999) |
