The Namesake (2007)

"It is a saga told in small pieces, a patchwork of short scenes that tumble after each other almost apologetically, as if they would love to linger a little longer, but there is too much to tell and only so much time in which to do it."

Never Been Kissed (1999)

"Barrymore brings so much uninhibited energy to Never Been Kissed that it points to a new direction in her acting."

The Next Best Thing (2000)

"She's awful. But to be fair, so is everything else about the movie."

Next Friday (1999)

"Next Friday is a truly awful film."

Nico and Dani (2001)

"[Most viewers] will be indifferent, as indifferent and uncaring as the characters the film portrays."

The Ninth Gate (1999)

"You end up feeling duped for taking a two-hour-plus ride that dumps you in the middle of nowhere."

"Stone's no Shakespeare, and neither are his screenwriters."

Nixon (1995)

"I never felt that I was seeing the darkness reaching out to the darkness as Nixon was once described."

No Country for Old Men (2007)

"Both brutal and snowflake delicate all at once, this meditative neo-noir bears rewatching as layers and insights reveal themselves with subsequent viewings."

The Number 23 (2007)

"Pretty much every important date in history...can be teased to fit the pattern. What can't be hammered out of this fixation, apparently, is a coherent movie."

Nurse Betty (2000)

"This fantasy-tinged romance leaves a distinctly bitter aftertaste."

Nutty Professor II: The Klumps (2000)

"Despite the shameless laughs, it's still a disappointment."
