Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer (2008) |
"As refreshing as it is to see an entire 'genre' film without a single CG effect -- because they obviously couldn't afford one -- Jack Brooks: Monster Slayer doesn't bring much to the monster party to justify itself." |

Jackass: Number Two (2006) |
"If anything, we can always count on Johnny Knoxville's Jackass crew to find creative new ways to make us squirm." |
Lindsey Ward |

Jackass: The Movie (2002) |
"Yes, I have given this movie a rating of zero. But fans of the show should not consider this a diss. Consider it 'perfection.'" |

Jackass: The Movie (2002) |
"I felt like a donkey laughing so hard at such stupidity and I feel like even more of a donkey admitting it in print." |

The Jacket (2005) |

Jakob the Liar (1999) |
"Even though director Peter Kassovitz tries hard to reproduce the soul-chilling despair of the ghetto, truth eludes Jakob The Liar." |
Randall King |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Jalla! Jalla! (2000) |
"While the meandering story is coherently told, it labours under a dual storyline that tells completely different stories until they're tied together fairly unconvincingly at the end." |

Japanese Story (2004) |
"A heartbreaking and complex film about human relationships." |
Liz Braun |
Tomato 4/5 |
Jarhead (2005) |
"Jarhead, taken from the book by Anthony Swofford, a veteran Marine sniper from the first Gulf War, takes what might seem the easiest soldiering job in the world and tells you something profoundly different." |
Jim Slotek |
Splat 1/5 |
Jason X (2002) |
"Unwatchable because of a stupid story, its painfully obvious plot twists, bad acting and terrible special effects." |
Bruce Kirkland |
Tomato 2.5/5 |
Jason X (2002) |
"What makes Jason X so much fun is that director James Isaac has his tongue firmly planted in his cheek, ensuring that the film offers as many killer laughs as killings." |
Louis B. Hobson |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Jaundiced Eye (1999) |
"A compelling documentary about a miscarriage of justice." |
Liz Braun |
Splat 2/5 |
Jawbreaker (1998) |
"Despite some inspired camera work and exhilarating wardrobe and music choices, the film lacks humour, and there's a mean-spiritedness about it that is eventually off-putting." |
Liz Braun |

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001) |
"See the movie at your own risk. It's no Dogma. It's as dumb as a bag of rocks. But it does have a lot of funny stuff." |
Bruce Kirkland |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Jay Z - Fade to Black (2004) |
"It's a music video, a future DVD release for hip-hop fans, and nothing else." |
Bruce Kirkland |
Tomato 4/5 |
JCVD (2008) |
"To the list of things you never thought you'd read --'America elects Black president, gas drops to 80c a litre, Red Sox win World Series,' etc. -- you can now add 'Jean-Claude Van Damme gives a great acting performance'." |

Jeffrey (1995) |
"A clever, biting and funny movie about gay love in the age of AIDS." |

Tomato 3.5/5 |
Jellyfish (2008) |
"Although its title might have some assuming this is a cheap remake of a bad horror B movie from the '50s, Jellyfish is actually quite a reflective and pensive picture." |
Jason MacNeil |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Jennifer's Body (2009) |
"Both Fox and Seyfried are hobbled somewhat by the heavy-handed direction of Karyn Kusama, a gifted filmmaker who seems unwilling to surrender to the exploitive trashiness of Cody's juicily derivative script." |

A Jihad for Love (2007) |
"More than the question of whether the mainstream religions can ever accept homosexuality, Jihad For Love shines a light on religious devotion, a powerful thing for some, even in the face of persecution and death." |

Splat 2.5/5 |
Jiminy Glick in LaLaWood (2004) |
"Kind of satire-lite, it's better than one has a right to expect of a feature film starring a latex-enhanced TV character. And if you don't like it, well it's not very long." |
Jim Slotek |

Jiminy Glick in LaLaWood (2004) |
"There are so many unexplored comic possibilities in this movie-within-a-movie that are never explored. That would have required some genuine forethought and detailed script work." |

Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius (2001) |

Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius (2001) |
"Though Nickelodeon insists the target audience is six to 14 year olds, the plot, characters and design seem far more appropriate for preschoolers." |

Jindabyne (2007) |

Joe Dirt (2001) |
"Like There's Something About Mary, it's really just a string of sight gags with little else going on in between. But there are several real belly laughs, and enough character development to make the rollercoaster ride worthwhile." |
