W. (2008)

" As Poppy Bush says, and says again,"You disappoint me, Junior.""

Wag the Dog (1997)

"When the film makes the leap from plausibly outrageous to pure satire, it slips, and the logic goes with it."

Waitress (2007)

"Waitress is not a perfectly cut, factory-line Safeway-brand slice. It does, though, serve up a generous deep-dish portion, homemade and heartfelt, that leaves a sweet taste goes down."

The Watcher (2000)

"The thinking is, if faced with a dead sequence in the editing room, flood it with light, or break it up with jump cuts, or leech the color out, or blur the image in some arty way. Whatever. It still looks dead."

The Waterboy (1998)

"The peculiar comic energy of Sandler's idiot character gets lost because he's off screen for a good deal of the movie."

The Way of the Gun (2000)

"True to the film's title, the gun, in all its many, many forms is exalted to the point of becoming a religious icon, flashing forth in the always stylized but numbingly boring shoot-outs that seem to occupy more than half the film's length."

Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins (2008)

"... an appalling, revolting, thuddingly dumb movie."

What Happens in Vegas (2008)

"I didn't laugh much, and I never felt even an inkling of 'aw, cute!' romance -- but I didn't want to claw my eyes out, either. If that counts as a success, then I guess it's a hit."

What Planet Are You From? (2000)

"Whatever planet produced this sex comedy, it's not indicating many signs of intelligent life."

What Women Want (2000)

"Has some honest laughs, a few touching moments, and a welcome balance between the girls and the boys."

What's Cooking? (2000)

"The film collapses under the weight of stereotypes and a hackneyed concept."

Whatever It Takes (2000)

"The geeky sidekicks in Whatever It Takes are no better or worse than those in a dozen other teen movies of recent vintage, but they get the job done."

Where the Heart Is (2000)

"Serves up the usual homilies, but it lacks the quirky density and cinematic snap of, for instance, Jonathan Demme in his Melvin and Howard period."

Where the Money Is (2000)

"Catch it on cable sometime, and enjoy."

While You Were Sleeping (1995)

"A consistently adorable, if utterly predictable, piece of fluff."

Whipped (2000)

"This movie has straight-to-video written all over it."

White (1993)

"It's probably the friendliest, most enjoyable movie the Polish filmmaker has made."

The White Balloon (1995)

"There are LONG stretches of... well, real time."

The Whole Nine Yards (2000)

"It produces some laughs."

The Wild Bunch (1969)

"The director was one of the very few filmmakers who could create a world that, however nastier or more brutish than the one we live in, never felt smaller or less complex."

Winnie the Pooh - The Tigger Movie (2000)

"There's something about The Tigger Movie that exemplifies the subpar state of movies today."

The Wisdom of Crocodiles (1998)

"Raises the most profound issues about the difference between humans and animals, good and evil, truth and lies."

Woman on the Beach (2006)

"You won't need a degree in Korean cinema to anticipate that complications will arise."

Wonder Boys (2000)

"Tobey Maguire continues his winning streak, showing his comedic versatility this time around."

Wonderland (2000)

"A beautiful, surprisingly uplifting movie."
