Najac Calling Over to You, Earth (2006) |
"Najac purports to be a call to arms against globalization. In fact it is a celebration rather than a manifesto, a wry shrug at the contradictions involved in living off the land in the digital age, and all the more enjoyable for that." |

Naked Boys Singing (2007) |
"The songs generally are quite fun, with the contributing stamp of famed comedy writer Bruce Vilanch quite evident. And the strong-voiced performers deliver them in engaging fashion." |

The Namesake (2007) |
"Nair's film settles for something closer to the surface that makes its dramatic points well and brings Lahiri's characters to life but misses the emotional intensity." |

Nancy Drew (2007) |
"It's hardly sacred literature that shouldn't be messed with, yet the source material's particular resonance remains elusive in this 21st century update." |

The Nanny Diaries (2007) |
"Satire that sputters when its characters refuse to grow out of caricature." |

Nanny McPhee (2006) |
"Thompson is impossible to dislike, but her ineffable grace and sympathy are not as evident as usual." |
Ray Bennett |

Napoleon Dynamite (2004) |
"The joke is always the same, and even the most easily amused may grow weary of that sameness." |
Kirk Honeycutt |
Splat |
Naqoyqatsi (2002) |
"Twenty years later, Reggio still knows how to make a point with poetic imagery, but his ability to startle has been stifled by the very prevalence of the fast-forward technology that he so stringently takes to task." |

Narc (2002) |

National Lampoon's Gold Diggers (2004) |
"This cheap-looking, broad and ultimately unnecessary comedy makes John Landis' benchmark Animal House -- one of the earliest films to bear the National Lampoon brand name -- look like Lubitsch." |
Luke Sader |
Tomato |
National Lampoon's The Don's Analyst (1997) |
"There's not much substance here, but there is a giddy set of characterizations and a not-so-subtle spoof of contemporary therapy." |

National Lampoon's Vacation (1983) |
"New Line Planning Another Vacation for the Griswolds" |

Tomato |
National Lampoon's Van Wilder (2002) |
"For a film like this to work, the hero must be as charming as he is irrepressible, and Reynolds, star of the ABC series Two Guys and a Girl, fits the bill." |
Frank Scheck |

National Security (2003) |
"Squanders the goodwill generated by some genuine laughs early in its running time with an inevitable descent into generic plotting, tired physical gags and lots and lots of things blowing up." |

National Treasure (2004) |
"An above-average popcorn movie." |

National Treasure 2 : Book of Secrets (2007) |

The Nativity Story (2006) |
"Hollywood is in a born-again mode with its rediscovery that Biblical epics can bring manna at the boxoffice. In New Line Cinema's The Nativity Story we have the first smart, artistically and spiritually satisfying film to emerge from this trend." |

Ned Kelly (2004) |

Neighbor 13 (2005) |

Neil Young - Heart of Gold (2006) |
"This smart, aesthetically understated concert film from Jonathan Demme will transport Young's legions of baby boomer fans back to the future, as 1969 re-invents itself in 2005 for Young." |

Never Back Down (2008) |
"At its core Never Back Down is just another teen exploitation movie, but middle-age viewers who wander into the theater might get the same giddy rush as the kids." |
Stephen Farber |

Never Been Thawed (2006) |
"Never Been Thawed displays moments of cleverness but not enough to sustain its feature-length running time." |

Never Die Alone (2004) |
"Routinely but unconvincingly directed by Dickerson, the movie possesses not a single character with the brains to get through a day without creating a huge mess." |

New York (2009) |
"Although the film is a routine thriller with few surprises, it deserves attention because its topic, even eight years after Sept. 11, is one that many South Asian Americans still take very seriously." |
Lisa Tsering |
Splat |
New York City Serenade (2009) |
"This ersatz Swingers attempts to tap into the male psyche as represented by a pair of one-note losers (played by Freddie Prinze Jr. and Chris Klein), but the self-absorbed film keeps playing the same, talky refrain." |
