Madagascar (2005) |
"Brilliantly written, animated and performed, it not only bridges the child-adult divide, but also makes its kid-friendly humor smart in its own way." |

Tomato 4/4 |
Mafioso (1962) |
"Mafioso may be 45 years old, but it's as bracingly relevant as anything else in theaters today. Even in the heat of a dry Sicilian summer, the film looks fresh as a lemon tree. And when you bite down hard, it's just as bitter." |
Amy Biancolli |

Magnolia (1999) |
"All the work is top-notch." |

Maid in Manhattan (2002) |
"Maybe this is why the movie isn't any good. Entertaining isn't its main function. It's designed to sell us a bill of goods." |

The Majestic (2001) |
"[Darabont] makes us care about the characters and their dilemmas; he's made this old-fashioned tale vital and engaging." |

Maléna (2000) |
"The result is like a bad novel in which the personalities and feelings of the characters are described to us rather than revealed through what they do." |

Mamma Mia! (2008) |
"If you're invited, you might as well enjoy yourself. Just don't say I didn't warn you. And don't you dare say I hate ABBA." |
Amy Biancolli |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Man (2005) |
"The Man [is] a vehicle of canned comedic setups that yield a slight buzz of low-level, odd-coupling amusement and a few welcome spasms of belly laughs." |
Amy Biancolli |
Splat C+ |
A Man Apart (2003) |
"The movie has more than its share of action scenes, but they're grafted onto a gritty crime drama that has no room for outsized heroics." |
Eric Harrison |
Splat C- |
The Man from Elysian Fields (2002) |
"This good-looking, well-acted but sloooow-moving film is a parable, and a rather obvious one at that." |

Man of the House (2005) |
"Though predictability runs all through this House, it works up a modest charm thanks to the emergence of likable, individualized characters." |
Bruce Westbrook |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Man of the Year (2006) |
"Man of the Year isn't Movie of the Year. It might have been an ironic condemnation of electoral fraud and the malignant sway of corporate profits. But for a while, anyway, it had my vote." |
Amy Biancolli |
Splat C |
Man on Fire (2004) |
"The movie appeals to baser instincts, and Scott's heavy-handed button-pushing stacks the deck." |
Eric Harrison |
Splat |
Man on the Moon (1999) |
"The problem with this film is that the filmmakers want Kaufman to emerge as a kind of innocent while their biographical due diligence indicates that Kaufman was a head case." |
Jeff Millar |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Man On Wire (2008) |
"Though we know how it ends, it unfolds with suspense. And though it lacks any discussion of the towers' destruction, it succeeds as a tribute to their birth." |

The Man Who Wasn't There (2001) |
"Despite the movie's humor and sense of irony, it takes on a sense of somberness as it progresses." |

The Man Without a Past (2003) |
"Full of deadpan humor." |

The Manchurian Candidate (2004) |

Manic (2003) |
"Absorbing and occasionally disturbing film." |

Manny & Lo (1996) |
"It is a slight enterprise, not always expert in its construction, but it is sweet without being cloying, and it is sentimental in beneficial ways." |
Jeff Millar |
Tomato |
Mansfield Park (1999) |
"While this version plays somewhat fast and loose with the original story, and even more so with the heroine's character, it is still much more Jane Austen than not." |
Louis B. Parks |

March of the Penguins (2005) |

Marilyn Hotchkiss' Ballroom Dancing and Charm School (2006) |
"Beyond Wahlberg's deft moves, School's dancing is leaden, not charming, and the only challenge is enduring the film's lumbering progress until it finally clicks at the end." |
Bruce Westbrook |

Martin Lawrence Live - Runteldat (2002) |
"Stand-up comedy is hit-and-miss, and for long stretches, this audience member didn't find Lawrence humorous in the least." |

Mary Reilly (1996) |

The Matador (2005) |
"In The Matador, Pierce Brosnan plays another man with license to kill, yet he gives a performance wildly unlike his suave superspy. In fact, it may be his best role yet." |
Bruce Westbrook |
Tomato 3/4 |
Match Point (2005) |
"In every scene, Allen's direction is unflinchingly clear-eyed, and it's a pleasure being walked through London at the same unhurried pace that he's taken through Manhattan all these years." |

The Matrix Reloaded (2003) |
"Perhaps because this story is slacker, it's more obvious the way the Wachowskis strain to keep us wowed -- not only in special effects and action scenes but also with dialogue and fashion, too." |
