Jackass: Number Two (2006) |
"The screams of laughter come fast and furious in this frat boy's fever dream of a circus sideshow." |
Michael Rechtshaffen |
Tomato |
Jackass: The Movie (2002) |
"Critics need a good laugh, too, and this too-extreme-for-TV rendition of the notorious MTV show delivers the outrageous, sickening, sidesplitting goods in steaming, visceral heaps." |
Michael Rechtshaffen |
Tomato |
The Jacket (2005) |
"The Jacket is not likely to be everyone's cup of tea, but filmmaker John Maybury has forged a mesmerizing mindblower." |

Jackpot (2001) |
"A mostly unpretentious film that grows on one over time." |
David Hunter |
Splat |
Jade Warrior (2006) |
"The action isn't nearly sufficient to carry all the mumbo-jumbo, and the cast doesn't have enough charisma to keep the script afloat on their own." |
John DeFore |
Tomato |
Jaffa (2009) |
"An absorbing and touching family drama set in the Israeli seaside town of the title." |
Ray Bennett |
Splat |
Jailbait (2006) |
"While the stars deliver highly committed performances, the static nature of the proceedings ultimately defeats them." |
Frank Scheck |
Tomato |
Jails, Hospitals, and Hip Hop (2001) |

Frank Scheck |

The Jane Austen Book Club (2007) |

Michael Rechtshaffen |
Tomato |
Japon (2003) |
"This excellent debut by Mexican director Carlos Reygadas exhibits a maturity rarely seen in a first film." |
Richard James Havis |
Splat |
Jarhead (2005) |
"The filmmakers clearly wanted to avoid the politics surrounding the first Gulf War even as they pay tribute to the Marines, the jarheads, who went to Saudi Arabia to fight. But the result is a movie rife with ambivalence." |
Kirk Honeycutt |
Splat |
Jason X (2002) |
"May offend viewers not amused by the sick sense of humor." |
David Hunter |
Splat |
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001) |

Kirk Honeycutt |
Splat |
Jay Z - Fade to Black (2004) |
"The film doesn't manage to achieve for hip-hop what the great rock concert films of the past have done for their musical genre." |

Jeepers Creepers (2001) |
"The initial, neatly sustained eerieness soon gives way to increasingly freaky plotting that seriously diminishes the picture's promising fear factor." |
Michael Rechtshaffen |
Splat |
Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003) |
"It looks great and the special effects are decent, but its scare tactics leave a lot to be desired." |
Michael Rechtshaffen |

Jennifer's Body (2009) |
"Diablo Cody Adapting Sweet Valley High Next?" |
|
Splat |
Jennifer's Body (2009) |

Jersey Girl (2004) |
"Smith stumbles setting up dramatic confrontations and strains credibility a time or two with implausible moments." |
Kirk Honeycutt |
Splat |
Jersey Guy (2003) |
"More reflective of good intentions than actual talent." |
Frank Scheck |
Tomato |
Jesus Camp (2006) |
"Filmmakers Heidi Ewing and Rachel Grady, who also focused on children in last year's poignant The Boys of Baraka, provide a fascinating glimpse of kids' role in the evangelical movement's political agenda." |
Sheri Linden |

Jet Lag (2003) |

Jimmy Carter Man From Plains (2007) |

Jindabyne (2007) |

Megan Lehmann |

Joe Dirt (2001) |
"Seems perversely designed to exclude anything remotely funny." |
Kirk Honeycutt |
Splat |
Joe Somebody (2001) |
"A wet blanket of an underdog comedy that's a big loser in the laughs department." |
Michael Rechtshaffen |

Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten (2007) |
"A rock documentary that's a good as it gets." |
Sura Wood |

"Kornel Mundruczo's Johanna is a astonishing coup de cinema." |
Kirk Honeycutt |

John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars (2001) |
"Becomes one big yawn of uninspired battle sequences, half-baked plotting and ultra-clunky dialogue leading to a lame, tacked-on coda." |
Michael Rechtshaffen |
Splat |
John Q (2002) |
"Imagine the worst episode of Chicago Hope never aired, and it still won't even begin to describe the agonizing ordeal that is John Q." |

John Tucker Must Die (2006) |

Kirk Honeycutt |
Tomato |
Johnny English (2003) |

Johnson Family Vacation (2004) |
"Mild in both humor and impact, this well-cast comedy should provide welcome diversion during the holidays for audiences looking for a somewhat lighter experience than the crucifixion of Christ or the massacre at the Alamo." |
Frank Scheck |
Tomato |
Jolene (2008) |
"This picaresque tale dawdles a bit, but Chastain keeps us rooting for Jolene's survival." |
Stephen Farber |
Tomato |
Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie (2002) |

Jonas Brothers - The Concert Experience (2009) |
"This tepid concert film does the Jonas Brothers no favors, not that the band's tweener fans will notice." |
