Mad Money (2008) |
"Queen Latifah seems to be going through the whole movie with the attitude of 'Yeah, I know%u2026'" |

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008) |
"They did another one, and probably better than the original, but I'm simply tolerant." |

Made of Honor (2008) |
"The film just revels in gay jokes and marriage clichés. There's no actual awkwardness to Tom doing a traditionally female job, so they just call him gay over and over and over." |

Man of the Year (2006) |
"Hey, it's Robin Williams getting elected president. Why would you turn that movie into some espionage thriller?" |

Margot at the Wedding (2007) |
"Everything feels very random, and not in an 'oh, that's the way life goes' collection of events. It's more in an 'I can't think of anything that would happen so I'll just throw something in there' kind of way." |

Marie Antoinette (2006) |
"For all the rock music, modern dialogue and lack of accents, Marie Antoinette is not that different from most historical/political biopics." |

Married Life (2008) |
"One of those little movies that really only exists on the radar because big names were in it." |

Martian Child (2007) |
"Cusack could do for parenting movies what he did for romantic comedies. This is a rocky start." |

Max Payne (2008) |
"What are you going to do? It's cool to be the first game to put players in control of a John Woo gunfight, but to be yet another movie waving double guns in slow motion, not so much." |

Me and Orson Welles (2009) |
"The only thing is it's grammatically incorrect. Shouldn't it be Orson Welles and I?" |

Michael Jackson's This Is It (2009) |
"Yes, this was worth doing... His practice is our awesome." |

Mirrors (2008) |
"By the time he pulls a gun on someone pivotal to the mystery, it's not that the movie is doing 24. It's just that the movie has no motivation for that character to be involved, so they force it, via his Jack Bauer moves." |

Miss March (2009) |
"The whole movie feels like these guys watched some other movie 100 times and thought they could do the same thing. So in their head, this is ... hilarious, but not to anyone else." |

Monster House (2006) |
"Sure to give your kids nightmare. Like the best movie monsters, the monster house has a real tragedy at the heart of its backstory." |

Monsters vs. Aliens (2009) |
"It does take a long time to explain the story for a movie that's totally summed up in its title." |

Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007) |
"The kind of movie that almost makes me want to cry for joy at the end because I feel like, 'Yeah, they did it.'" |

Mr. Woodcock (2007) |
"I'll give them three big laughs, but those were just flukes." |

Music and Lyrics (2007) |
"Hugh Grant is the man... if modern musicians wrote like this, I'd buy a lot more music." |

Music Within (2007) |
"It would be nice if such an important issue got a better screen treatment, but hey, it's better than Blood Diamond. At least it's not wasting vast resources trying to show how important it is." |

My Best Friend's Girl (2008) |
"Hitch has nothing on My Best Friend's Girl... the best romance since The Notebook." |

My Super Ex-Girlfriend (2006) |
