Tomato 3.5/5 |
Race to Witch Mountain (2009) |
"Race To Witch Mountain is fast and furious and the action is bound to please children, who are the target audience." |
Liz Braun |
Tomato 2.5/5 |
Rachel Getting Married (2008) |
"Director Jonathan Demme's latest isn't so much enjoyed or savoured as appreciated, even admired, for its skill and daring." |
Kevin Williamson |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Racing Stripes (2005) |
"It may not be a sure bet, but the odds are excellent that Racing Stripes has something for the whole family." |

Tomato 3.5/5 |
Radiant City (2006) |
"It acknowledges the lure of urban sprawl is as every bit as phony yet intoxicating as the tug of cinema itself." |
Kevin Williamson |
Splat 1/5 |
Radio (2003) |
"It turns out to be a really manipulative, self-congratulatory film about a pack of people who learn to treat a handicapped black man like a human being. Goody for them." |
Liz Braun |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Radio (2003) |
"As entertaining as it is heartfelt." |
Louis B. Hobson |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Rage in Placid Lake (2003) |
"A feel-good movie with some enjoyably deranged turns." |
Jim Slotek |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Rails & Ties (2007) |
"An hour and a half of emotional overload that you can either buy into and feel depressed, or reject and feel cheated." |
Jim Slotek |
Splat 0/5 |
Raise Your Voice (2004) |
"A boring, badly written, cliche-heavy outing with lousy production values, various moral messages unfit for childhood consumption and songs from the known-carcinogen school of pop." |
Liz Braun |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Raise Your Voice (2004) |
"Gives Duff another chance to play a contemporary Cinderella, but she still isn't able to find real character depth. Then again, the script doesn't demand much of her." |
Louis B. Hobson |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Raising Helen (2004) |
"When the 9-year-old in the next seat can anticipate every plot development and emotional response, you know you're in sitcom land." |
Liz Braun |
Splat 3/5 |
Raising Victor Vargas (2003) |
"Suffers because it is naive and disjointed." |
Bruce Kirkland |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Rambo (2008) |
"A far cry from Ted Kotcheff's original Rambo movie First Blood, which was ostensibly a serious rumination on the fate of the people we train to kill once we're done with them." |
Jim Slotek |
Splat |
Random Hearts (1999) |
"Part love story, part drama and wholly unintelligible mess." |
Liz Braun |

John Paul Powell |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Rare Birds (2001) |
"A quirky comedy set in Newfoundland that cleverly captures the dry wit that's so prevalent on The Rock." |
Bruce Kirkland |
Splat |
Rat Race (2001) |
"If you have seen the trailer for this idiotic movie, you already know some of the presumed 'highlights' of the piece." |
Bruce Kirkland |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Ratatouille (2007) |
"Ratatouille is not merely the smartest, funniest, most joyous, most lovingly crafted film of the summer thus far, but it ranks among Pixar's finest." |
Kevin Williamson |
Splat |
Ratcatcher (2000) |
"Ratcatcher is a beautifully-made film, but so unremittingly depressing that you really need to be a serious cinema lover or possibly in a permanent bad mood to take it on." |

Louis B. Hobson |
Tomato 4/5 |
Ray (2004) |
"What makes Foxx's performance so remarkable is that he doesn't just get into the skin of this music icon, but into the man's very soul." |
Louis B. Hobson |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Read My Lips (2002) |
"Devos and Cassel have tremendous chemistry -- their sexual and romantic tension, while never really vocalized, is palpable." |
Derek Tse |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Reader (2008) |
"One egregious case of miscasting (Ralph Fiennes as the adult version of our young, blond German boy), makes The Reader a rather slow-moving film in search of what it wants to say." |
Jim Slotek |
Tomato |
Ready to Rumble (2000) |
"Ready to Rumble works because of its tone." |

The Real Cancun (2003) |
"As Forrest Gump once intoned, stupid is as stupid does. Stupid does it up big in The Real Cancun." |
Bruce Kirkland |
Splat 2/5 |
The Real Cancun (2003) |
"Whether you see it as a more-raunchy The Real World or a toned-down Girls Gone Wild, the reality of this reality movie is it's nothing we haven't seen before." |
Steve Tilley |
Splat 2.5/5 |
The Reaping (2007) |
"The Reaping leaves you with little to do but ask yourself questions like: 'Why would the antichrist be born in the middle of a swamp in Bugspit, La.? How's he supposed to take over the world from there -- via the NASCAR circuit?'" |
Jim Slotek |
Tomato |
Rear Window (1954) |
"But there's no denying this is Hitchcock at his finest, and that Rear Window is worth seeing again - and again" |
Steve Tilley |
Splat 2/5 |
Rebound (2005) |
"Rebound is a good example of the mediocre product so readily available at the movies. It's just sort of nothing at all really, a pleasant and forgettable 90 minutes of ... whatever." |
Liz Braun |
Tomato |
Recess: School's Out (2001) |
"Silly fun, yet sophisticated enough that it doesn't insult a child's intelligence." |

Recess: School's Out (2001) |

Splat 2.5/5 |
The Recruit (2003) |
"The Recruit is a big-time, star-driven Hollywood thriller that turns out to be a bit of a sham." |
Bruce Kirkland |
Splat 2.5/5 |
The Recruit (2003) |
"Too transparent to produce nail-biting suspense." |
Louis B. Hobson |
Tomato 4/5 |
Red Cliff (2009) |
"It is a very focused movie, centred on the chesslike manoeuvres of a few key characters, and nicely paced with some quiet, almost Zen-like moments." |

Red Dragon (2002) |
"There's talk of Hannibal films being squeezed out indefinitely, but this would be the perfect high point at which to bid the character adieu." |
Jim Slotek |
Tomato 4/5 |
Red Dragon (2002) |
"A taut, scary cerebral thriller." |
Louis B. Hobson |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Red Eye (2005) |
"McAdams is excellent because she shows Lisa's strength and cunning without ever underplaying her vulnerability." |

"Not even a roll of duct tape can patch up the problems." |
Bruce Kirkland |
Splat 2/5 |
Red Green - Duct Tape Forever (2003) |
"It's essentially a Red Green Show episode stretched to a 90-minute movie, but with about the same number of laughs." |
Louis B. Hobson |
Tomato 3/5 |
Red Lights (2004) |
"An exercise in intrigue and tension, and the slow, constant build-up of dread has a certain Hitchcock flair." |
Liz Braun |
Splat |
Red Planet (2000) |
"This trip is strictly for fanatics of the genre." |
Bruce Kirkland |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Red Road (2007) |
"Red Road is an atmospheric little thriller made up of equal parts paranoia, loneliness and anxiety." |
Liz Braun |
