Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002) |
"The movie may sound like a yawn: Three girls walk through wind and rain and scrub brush to get back where they belong. But it's not." |

Racing Stripes (2005) |
"It's no classic, but its heart's in the right place." |

Radio (2003) |
"Syrupy feel-good movie just doesn't ring true, despite Gooding's quietly dignified performance." |

Raise Your Voice (2004) |
"More annoyingly bland than genuinely awful. However, the presentation of its cute-as-a-button star is genuinely, absolutely, immeasurably awful." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Splat D+ |
Raising Helen (2004) |
"One of those bogus 'sincere' pictures -- a schmaltz-ridden mediocrity without an honest moment in it." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |

Random Hearts (1999) |
"A meandering mystery - drama - romance that never hits the right groove." |
Steve Murray |
Splat C |
Randy and the Mob (2007) |
"It's a film brimming with individual scenes featuring nice visual touches about the South and comforting down-home dialogue spiced with a healthy twinge of sarcasm. Too bad the movie never completely gels." |
Bob Longino |
Splat D |
Rat Race (2001) |
"It's a bad, bad, bad, bad movie." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |

Real Women Have Curves (2002) |
"A real movie, about real people, that gives us a rare glimpse into a culture most of us don't know." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Splat C |
Rebound (2005) |
"If you're a Martin Lawrence groupie, Rebound fulfills your appetite for all Martin all the time. But if you're seeking laughs with a story that moves, well, this is no Coach Carter." |
Curtis Bunn |
Tomato A |
Reconstruction (2004) |
"This is Boe's first full-length film, but he already works the art form like a master. He proves he understands love lost and the hungry yearning burning inside love found." |
Bob Longino |
Tomato B |
The Recruit (2003) |
"You've seen this before, but probably not done this well." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Tomato A- |
Red Dragon (2002) |
"This movie restores Hannibal Lecter's macabre fascination. It honors the character and Anthony Hopkins, not the Halloween costumes and campy catchphrases." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |

Red Eye (2005) |
"A nifty thriller that plays like B-movie blast from the past." |

Red Planet (2000) |
"Early on, Lucy informs the crew there's been a 'failure to engage.' I think she was talking about the movie." |

Tomato A- |
Red Road (2007) |
"A must for movie lovers who want to see how so much drama, mystery and emotion can be created from so little." |

Reign of Fire (2002) |
"Good clean post-apocalypse fire-breathing fun." |
Scott Steinberg |

Reign Over Me (2007) |
"Sandler is remarkable, expertly using the vacancy that defines his dumb-and-dumber comedies as a way to convey Charlie's netherworld." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |
Splat |
Reindeer Games (2000) |
"Watchable but sometimes quite ludicrous." |

Remember the Titans (2000) |
"A crowd-pleaser with a moral conscience." |

Renaissance (2006) |
"Its dark images echo in the mind's eye. And for that alone, it's worth seeing." |
Bob Townsend |
Tomato B |
Reno 911!: Miami (2007) |
"The movie cleverly pokes fun at action-movie clichés. It has the wild chase scenes and the totally unnecessary plot twists, yet the characters are anything but the super-cool-under-pressure cop-movie archetypes." |
Daniel Gray Longino |
Tomato B+ |
Rent (2005) |
"The movie makes the story accessible to everyone, without diminishing the musical's revolutionary, youthful heart." |
Melinda Ennis |

The Replacements (2000) |
"While there's plenty in this movie that's mildly funny, The Replacements is nothing more than a high school romp." |

Requiem for a Dream (2000) |

Ride with the Devil (1999) |
"A sublime contemplation of the American character at a particularly revealing time in our struggle to become a nation." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |

Riding Alone For Thousands of Miles (2006) |
"Relatively speaking, minor Yimou, yet it retains that extraordinary cinematic sensibility and superbly observed humanity that characterizes all his work." |

The Ring (2002) |
"The boo! factor is waaaay up there -- a nine on a scale of 10. But the makes-sense factor is something like a three, at best." |

The Ring Two (2005) |

Rize (2005) |
"We're just fly-on-the-wall observers to dancing that's a kind of Holy Roller-palooza." |

The Road to El Dorado (2000) |
"It's not cute enough for kids, not clever enough for adults. It's gorgeous but curiously dull." |
Steve Murray |

The Road to Guantanamo (2006) |
"One-sided and, in part, anti-American, but via the fictionalized sequences, the directors convey more angles of the story." |
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie |

Road to Perdition (2002) |
"You can almost see Mendes and company getting together before a single frame had been shot and collectively vowing, 'This is going to be something really good.' And it is." |
