2/4

I Am David (2004)

"The film is marred by too many coincidences, but there are a couple of twists at the end that tug at the heartstrings and leave you with a warm feeling."

Eric Harrison

Tomato
3/4

I Am Legend (2007)

"Lawrence's direction is patient, solid and suspenseful, and his vision of a lone fellow wandering through the atavistic hulk of Manhattan yields an indelible portrait of post-cataclysmic solitude."

Amy Biancolli

Tomato

I Am Sam (2002)

"The movie's magic is that we feel more rewarded than manipulated."

Bruce Westbrook

Tomato
A-

I Capture the Castle (2003)

"With eloquent dialogue but scant smoldering passions, the mushy machinations nicely nudge director Tim Fywell's gentle little film."

Bruce Westbrook

Tomato

I Dreamed of Africa (2000)

"The film version is a beautiful, fascinating and moving picture of a courageous life in a strange and humbling paradise."

Louis B. Parks

Splat
2/4

I Heart Huckabees (2004)

"So willfully, smugly eccentric that it grows tiresome rather quickly."

Eric Harrison

Splat
2.5/5

I Know What You Did Last Summer (1997)

"The payoff is less effective. It involves several teen-scream modules, such as the $1.98 Startle Effect; the Hand on the Shoulder; and the Is He Dead Yet? gambit."

Jeff Millar

I Love You, I Love You Not (1996)

Tomato
3.5/4

I Love You, Man (2009)

"In almost every major detail and minor plot hiccup, the sweet, vulgar, hilariously awkward I Love You, Man follows Ye Olde Formulae for standard romantic comedies."

Amy Biancolli

Splat
1/4

I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (2007)

"In the credits, the filmmakers acknowledge Brooklyn firefighters who died on 9/11. It's an honorable gesture, but what of the previous two hours? What of the scenes portraying firemen as cigar-chomping, homophobic, misogynistic chumps?"

Amy Biancolli

Splat
C+

I Spy (2002)

"The jokes are flat, and the action looks fake."

Eric Harrison

Splat

I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998)

"Neither Trey Callaway, who wrote the script, nor Danny Cannon, who directed the sequel, bring any new ideas to the genre. Cut 'em some slack: That surely was their marching orders."

Jeff Millar

Splat
1.5/4

I Think I Love My Wife (2007)

"I Think I Love My Wife slogs through drama and comedy as though both were a duty as onerous as a sexless marriage. Rarely do characters display anything approaching logic, unless their 180-degree turnarounds are part of a geometry proof."

Amy Biancolli

Splat

I'll Be Home For Christmas (1998)

"None of the cast comes off well, but they have little to work with, since the dialogue sounds like it was made up on the spot and performed without rehearsal."

Louis B. Parks

Tomato
B+

I'll Sleep When I'm Dead (2004)

"Matching the movie's restrained style, Owen is extraordinarily still, and all the more riveting because of it."

Eric Harrison

-

I'm Going Home (2002)

Tomato
B

I'm Not Scared (2004)

"An accomplished and evocative thriller from Italy."

Eric Harrison

Tomato
3/4

I've Loved You So Long (2008)

"Thomas gives it her all, uncorking every ounce of emotion she’d held in check, with Herculean restraint, over the better part of two hours."

Amy Biancolli

Splat
C+

I, Robot (2004)

"Plays like a compendium of summer blockbusters."

Eric Harrison

Splat
B-

Ice Age (2002)

"The movie suffers every time the creatures have to say the words the screenwriters have foisted on them."

Eric Harrison

Tomato
3/4

Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006)

"Ice Age: The Meltdown crosses familiar territory but does so with exceeding sweetness and no shortage of visual imagination, bolstering what is, in essence, a fairly simplistic road movie with an eco-conscious twist."

Amy Biancolli

Splat
2/4

The Ice Harvest (2005)

"The Ice Harvest is like Sin City without the bold style and crooked smile, disgorging grisly bloodbaths without drawing artful things out of them."

Bruce Westbrook

Splat
2/4

Ice Princess (2005)

"Poor, suffering child; if something doesn't change, and fast, she might wind up studying physics at Harvard."

Amy Biancolli

Tomato

An Ideal Husband (1999)

"Parker has made a sensible cinematic translation of Wilde's play, intercutting scenes which would have been played consecutively on the stage."

Jeff Millar

Splat
C+

Identity (2003)

"This isn't a story: It's a catalog of gruesome murders."

Eric Harrison

Splat

Idle Hands (1999)

"Maybe 90 seconds of viable and sustained humor at the end."

Jeff Millar

Splat
1.5/4

Idlewild (2006)

"OutKast's much-ballyhooed Prohibition-era musical is a dense, confusing jumble of old-school and new-school, gangster and gangsta, that never pauses long enough to tell a cogent story."

Amy Biancolli

Tomato

If Lucy Fell (1996)

"If Lucy Fell is funnier more often than not, and when it's not being funny it's at least being strange. I'll take strange over what most major-distributor comedies are when they're not being funny."

Jeff Millar

Tomato
A+

Igby Goes Down (2002)

"A deliciously cold, brutal and unsentimental gem about growing up in an environment that knows no mercy."

Eric Harrison

Tomato
3.5/4

The Illusionist (2006)

"For a film about magic, The Illusionist doesn't depend on tricks up its sleeve. It's more about artfulness, from handsome period details and Philip Glass' urgent score to an intriguing and vibrant plot."

Bruce Westbrook

Splat
1.5/4

Imaginary Heroes (2004)

"A depressing yarn."

Bruce Westbrook

Splat
2/4

Imagine That (2009)

"Imagine That has a few nagging problems, none of which is Eddie Murphy’s fault."

IMAX - Ocean Oasis (2002)

"You're not getting the whole picture in Ocean Oasis, just the critter-cute ones. But at least the film is well shot, showing striking vistas and images both above and beneath the waves."

Importance of Being Earnest (2002)

"Parker keeps things light and lively, and the cast never trips over Wilde's eloquence."

Bruce Westbrook

Splat

Impostor (2001)

"The movie is so thoughtlessly assembled."

Eric Harrison

Tomato
A

In America (2003)

"Deeply moving and funny."

Eric Harrison

Tomato
4/4

In Bruges (2008)

"'After I killed him, I dropped the gun in the Thames' -- so begins In Bruges, an insanely clever thug's tale so rife with obscenity that those 11 words form one of the longest complete sentences that can be repeated safely here."

Amy Biancolli
