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 |

I Am Sam (2002) |
"The movie's magic is that we feel more rewarded than manipulated." |

I Capture the Castle (2003) |
"With eloquent dialogue but scant smoldering passions, the mushy machinations nicely nudge director Tim Fywell's gentle little film." |

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 |

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." |

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." |

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." |

I, Robot (2004) |
"Plays like a compendium of summer blockbusters." |

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 |

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 |

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) |

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 |

Imaginary Heroes (2004) |
"A depressing yarn." |

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." |
