Jack Frost (1998) |
"Its sentiment is rote, its truths are culled from a trip down the aisles of a greeting-card shop." |

The Jacket (2005) |
"At times it seems like a daring mindbender. At other times, it just seems unintentionally absurd." |

Jackie Brown (1997) |
"Turns out that author Elmore Leonard and director Quentin Tarantino are not the odd couple after all." |

Jackpot (2001) |
"Its audience is a very narrow spectrum of filmgoers amused by tiny hints at a joke, or the minor peculiarities of a slightly unusual character. All others, beware." |

Jakob the Liar (1999) |
"The film leans from the comedic to the near-mawkish." |

Tomato 3/4 |
James' Journey to Jerusalem (2003) |
"A pointed and funny allegory about a clash of values." |
Eric Harrison |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Jane Austen Book Club (2007) |
"The episodes roll by in smooth progression, and the talkiness has the round, impassioned tones of readers ignited by fiction." |

Japanese Story (2004) |
"Flows too quickly past other points where the story needed to slow down to allow the import of what was being said to sink in." |
Eric Harrison |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Jarhead (2005) |
"I dare anyone to watch this bold exercise in postponed gratification and not come away with a new, disturbed sense of the genre." |

Jason X (2002) |
"If you're a fan of the Friday the 13th series, its 10th and latest entry, Jason X, should not disappoint." |

Jawbreaker (1998) |
"The producers of this film, which depicts teen-age girls as an assemblage of negative stereotypes, are female. Can females practice misogyny?" |
Jeff Millar |

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001) |
"Unlike, say, American Pie 2 or the Scary Movie franchise, there's obvious intelligence at work behind the stupidity." |

Jeepers Creepers (2001) |
"Jeepers Creepers gets down and dirty, respecting its genre enough to make it seem vibrant, fresh and, in a warped way, real." |
Bruce Westbrook |
Tomato B+ |
Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003) |
"Like Freddy vs. Jason, it's just another boogeyman movie, but being only a first sequel, its gore lore still smells fresh." |
Bruce Westbrook |
Tomato B+ |
Jersey Girl (2004) |
"This is [Smith's] first mature work in which he weds his gift for quirky dialogue and humor with genuine feeling and tries to craft a story with broad appeal." |
Eric Harrison |
Tomato 3/4 |
Jesus Camp (2006) |
"Perhaps indoctrination is in the eye of the beholder. But one thing is certain: All Christians aren't the same. I'm one, and I found this film to be saddening, not heartening." |

John Q (2002) |
"It's a powerful though flawed movie, guaranteed to put a lump in your throat while reaffirming Washington as possibly the best actor working in movies today." |
Eric Harrison |
Splat 1/4 |
John Tucker Must Die (2006) |
"Hopeful cinephiles might long for pitch-black satire a la Heathers ... but this by-the-book high school revenge comedy has the spine of a wet ramen noodle." |

Johnny English (2003) |
"The wildly successful Austin Powers films are a hard act to follow, and Johnny English feels like a Johnny -come-lately to the same silly party." |

Josie and the Pussycats (2001) |

Joy Ride (2001) |
"Dahl and his screenwriters spoil it by turning the trucker and his rig into a metallic-sheathed monster willing and able to do anything to get back at his enemies." |

Jumper (2008) |
"It's a paradox, but science fiction has to make sense: It can rest on the world's most outlandish premise, but only if its internal logic holds up to scrutiny. And Jumper can't make that leap." |
Amy Biancolli |

Junebug (2005) |
"Thanks to newfangled things like TV and the Internet, small-town folks aren't as uniformly insulated as director Phil Morrison and screenwriter Angus McLachlan would have us believe." |

Jurassic Park III (2001) |
