C Me Dance (2009) |
"It's fine to know your audience and cater to its entertainment needs, but even the most devout viewer subjected to Robbins' ham-fisted film might think, "OK, now tell me something I don't already know."" |

Cabin Fever (2003) |
"Roth and co-writer Randy Pearlstein choke up the occasional belly laugh in Cabin Fever, but they're so busy selling their jokes and their film-geek smarts they never figure out how to scare us." |
Manohla Dargis |

The Cable Guy (1996) |
"A misguided attempt to extend [Carrey's] range by having him play someone who is demented and dangerous." |
Kenneth Turan |
Tomato 4/5 |
Caché (2005) |
"... Cache is taut, terse, brisk and immediately engaging ..." |

Tomato 4/5 |
Cafe Setareh (2007) |
"There's no lack of tear-jerking and melodramatic developments, but they are sustained by [director] Moghadam's steadfast belief in the mutually supportive value of community life, so endangered in rapidly changing, increasingly impersonal cities." |
Kevin Thomas |
Splat 1.5/5 |
Caffeine (2007) |
"About as appetizing as a pot of dishwater coffee." |
Lael Loewenstein |
Splat 2/5 |
The Cake Eaters (2009) |
"The Cake Eaters is a bland ensemble drama with an unremarkable script." |
Gary Goldstein |
Splat 2/5 |
Calendar Girls (2003) |
"A paper-thin comic distraction." |
Manohla Dargis |
Tomato 4/5 |
Callas Forever (2004) |
"The result is not only one of Zeffirelli's sumptuous productions but also a film that celebrates the sacredness of artistic integrity that to Zeffirelli Callas embodied fully." |

Callback: The Unmaking of Bloodstain (2008) |
"A mockumentary-thriller-broad-comedy-psychological-drama-sex-farce-insider-Hollywood satire that . . . wait for it . . . could use some focus." |
Michael Ordoņa |
Tomato 4/5 |
Calle 54 (2001) |
"You come away with more appreciation of how inclusive Latin jazz, with its roots in Africa, really is." |
Kevin Thomas |
Splat 1/5 |
Camera Obscura (2003) |
"An L.A. neo-noir raised to an insufferable degree of artiness." |
Kevin Thomas |
Tomato 3/5 |
Camp (2003) |
"Camp has a good deal of the appeal, and the drawbacks, of a high school play. It can be pokey and overly earnest and its dramatics are not always polished, but, on the other hand, would you want them to be?" |
Kenneth Turan |
Tomato 4/5 |
Can Mr. Smith Get to Washington Anymore? (2006) |
"Mr. Smith captures ground-level political machinations in an utterly fascinating way. The question raised by the title makes for an interesting, if possibly disheartening, debate." |
Kevin Crust |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Can't Hardly Wait (1998) |
"With summer vacation imminent, its arrival is an instance of perfect timing." |

Canvas (2007) |
"Canvas just doesn't sketch a sufficiently vivid portrait." |

The Canyon (2009) |
"If well-meaning people didn't make stupid choices -- and if cellphones worked everywhere -- way fewer vacation-from-hell thrillers would probably be made." |
Gary Goldstein |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Cape Of Good Hope (2005) |
"The stories are interlinked effectively, and the film strikes an upbeat note yet does not address racism and discrimination. For all its affection toward its characters, however, the film is too long and too slack." |

Capitalism: A Love Story (2009) |
"Moore's scattershot is a lot more interesting than some filmmakers' focus, and many of those individual parts are classic." |
Kenneth Turan |
Tomato 4/5 |
Capote (2005) |
"Hoffman captures what is presented as an astonishing capacity for insinuation and connects it to a deep personal understanding of the basic human need for connection." |
Carina Chocano |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Captain Abu Raed (2008) |
"Amin Matalqa's teary drama, Captain Abu Raed, takes its obvious cues from the neorealism of Satyajit Ray and Jean Renoir, but Matalqa doesn't know how to balance melodrama with quiet moments the way the masters did." |
Sam Adams |
Splat 1.5/5 |
Captain Corelli's Mandolin (2001) |
"A phlegmatic, middlebrow romantic drama so stodgy that even the goats look bored." |
Kenneth Turan |
Tomato 3/5 |
Captain Pantoja and the Special Services (1999) |

Capturing the Friedmans (2003) |
"This is finally a particularly naked and invasive form of voyeurism, The Real World for the PBS crowd." |
Kenneth Turan |
Tomato 4/5 |
Caramel (2008) |
"It is sweet but not saccharine, an intimate film that doesn't stint on the desperation and anxiety that go along with the search for love." |
Kenneth Turan |
Tomato 4/5 |
Carandiru (2004) |
"It plunges us deep inside a corrupt system and its sincere empathy creates a stirring mix of emotions." |

Carnage (2003) |
"With Carnage, a pungent tale of love and sacrifice, French filmmaker Delphine Gleize has fashioned a modest epic about our ridiculous human comedy." |

Cars (2006) |
"What's surprising about this supremely engaging film is the source of its curb appeal: It has heart." |
Kenneth Turan |
Tomato 3/5 |
Casa de los Babys (2003) |
"While we'd like it if the film had managed to be less schematic, had succeeded in fulfilling its sociological aims in more humanistic terms, we're willing to cut it slack because it sometimes seems no one else is even trying." |
Kenneth Turan |
Tomato 4/5 |
Casanova (2005) |
"In the exhilarating Casanova, giddy shenanigans effectively set off the dangerous, darker impulses of human nature." |
Kevin Thomas |

Cashback (2007) |
"A very romantic portrait of a young artist as he ponders love, beauty and living in the moment." |
Kevin Crust |
Tomato 4/5 |
Casi Divas (2009) |
"A comedy with just the right blend of satire, social comment, myriad complications, romance and heart-tugging to give it some deft shading and variety." |
Kevin Thomas |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Casino (1995) |
"Martin Scorsese is a master filmmaker, so skilled in the manipulation of imagery he might be the most proficient of active American directors." |

Casino Royale (2006) |
"... the Bond franchise has always been fortunate in its choice of leading men, and Craig is one of their wisest picks yet." |

Cassandra's Dream (2008) |
"Perched uncomfortably between thriller and melodrama, it's a film that hints at possibilities that are left unfulfilled." |
