Tomato 3/4 |
The U.S. vs. John Lennon (2006) |

Robert W. Butler |
Splat 2/4 |
Unaccompanied Minors (2006) |
"It’s just another loud, hyperactive Home Alone rip-off, and how many of those does the world really need?" |

Tomato |
Unbreakable (2000) |
"Until the last-minute letdown, Shyamalan does a superb job of setting up his scenes." |
Robert W. Butler |
Tomato 3/4 |
Under the Same Moon (2008) |
"The critic in me found plenty of nits to pick with Under the Same Moon. The sentimentalist, though, was ready to blubber." |
Robert W. Butler |
Tomato |
Under the Sand (2001) |
"Where Rampling really bares herself is in the emotional revelations and rawness she delivers in just about every screen." |
Robert W. Butler |
Tomato 3/5 |
Under the Sun (2001) |
"This charmingly low-key Swedish comedy is handsomely filmed and cleverly put together." |
Dan Lybarger |
Tomato |
Under the Sun (2001) |
"Brilliantly acted, achingly affecting and superbly photographed, Under the Sun is everything you'd want from a great love story." |
Robert W. Butler |
Splat 1/4 |
Underclassman (2005) |

Robert W. Butler |
Tomato |
Undertow (2004) |

David Frese |
Tomato 3/4 |
Unfaithful (2002) |
"Simultaneously sexy and repellent, it's not an easy watch, but it treats adultery with a seriousness that has often eluded Lyne." |
Robert W. Butler |
Tomato 4/4 |

Untraceable (2008) |
"A competent but unremarkable crime thriller." |
Robert W. Butler |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Up (2009) |
"This film is lovely in attitude and execution. In a world that sometimes seems filled with mean people, mean institutions and mean humor, Up is friendly, affirming and deeply moving. It’s funny, too, but never at anyone’s expense." |
Robert W. Butler |
Tomato 3/4 |
Up and Down (2005) |

Up The Yangtze (2007) |
"Up the Yangtze is a reminder that every little family matters and that economic miracles are zero-sum games." |
Jason Heck |
Tomato |
The Upside of Anger (2005) |
"What The Upside of Anger gets right -- especially the work by Allen and Costner -- is more than enough reason to spend some time in the unhappy Wolfmeyer household." |

"Worth going Uptown for." |
