Jackass: The Movie (2002) |
"Every bit as disreputable and often as embarrassingly funny as the MTV program, only longer." |
Manohla Dargis |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Jacket (2005) |
"Even the viewer who finds the premise too far-fetched to accept may nonetheless come away impressed with the ambitiousness of the attempt and even be moved by the emotional effect of the film's well-staged concluding sequence." |
Kevin Thomas |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Jackie Brown (1997) |
"A leisurely and easygoing diversion that goes down easy enough but is far from compelling." |

Jakob the Liar (1999) |
"Jakob the Liar is so forced that only the interest of a star of Williams' magnitude could have gotten it made." |
Kenneth Turan |
Splat 2/5 |
James and the Giant Peach (1996) |
"In general the magic as well as the heart of Roald Dahl's novel has remained stubbornly on the page, leaving us with this overly mechanical copy, as appetizing as a once-flavorful peach that's been in cold storage for far too long." |
Kenneth Turan |
Tomato 3/5 |
James' Journey to Jerusalem (2003) |
"James offers an ironic yet unflinching look at some of the least idealistic, most cutthroat aspects of Israeli society." |
Kenneth Turan |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Jane Austen Book Club (2007) |
"Swicord has a playful sense of humor and a good ear for dialogue, and the movie pleasantly accomplishes what it set out to accomplish." |

Japanese Story (2004) |
"Compelling and edgy." |

Tomato 4.5/5 |
Japon (2003) |
"Unlike a lot of young filmmakers, the 31-year-old Reygadas takes his ideas about the world and our place in it as seriously as his filmmaking ambitions." |
Manohla Dargis |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Jarhead (2005) |
"As much as we intellectually admire Jarhead, it's a cold film that only sporadically makes the kind of emotional connection it's after." |
Kenneth Turan |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001) |
"The relentless torrent of foul language--and not just from Jay--becomes numbing and finally makes the film seem more crass than amusing." |
Kevin Thomas |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Jay Z - Fade to Black (2004) |
"This is standard concert-film fare geared to the faithful." |

Jeepers Creepers (2001) |

Jeffrey (1995) |
"Wildly uneven, and it aims at the lowest common denominator in its exceedingly broad comedy." |
Kevin Thomas |
Tomato 4/5 |
Jellyfish (2008) |
"The film has a sense of the genial absurdity of life, a whimsical appreciation of the inescapable randomness of our anything-can-happen existence, of how fragile yet resilient are the bonds that draw people together." |

Jennifer's Body (2009) |
"Diablo Cody Talks Jennifer's Body" |
|
Splat 2/5 |
Jennifer's Body (2009) |
"[Cody's] glib teen-hip dialogue mostly feels like self-conscious splatter over a sorely lackluster scare flick." |
Robert Abele |
Tomato 4/5 |
Jerichow (2009) |
"Petzold, who has a crisp style and sharp sense of the visual, is too talented and imaginative to allow his film to become predictable." |

Jesus Camp (2006) |
"Whether you are a religious, churchgoing person or not, if you are the least bit liberal or tolerant in your world view, this has got to be one of the most unnerving films of the year." |

Jet Lag (2003) |
"Rose gives as good as she gets, and one of the film's exceedingly modest pleasures is watching how the director rescues this woman from stereotype and Félix's (and our) prejudice." |
Manohla Dargis |
Tomato 4/5 |
A Jihad for Love (2007) |
"A Jihad for Love is a courageous documentary on the plight of gays in the Muslim world, and it reveals how the devout attempt to reconcile their sexual orientation and their faith." |
Kevin Thomas |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Jiminy Glick in LaLaWood (2004) |
"How you feel about Short's alter ego will probably determine how you feel about Jiminy Glick in Lalawood, a giddy, gassy piece of lunatic fluff that recounts Jiminy's rise to fame." |
Carina Chocano |
Splat 2/5 |
Jimmy Carter Man From Plains (2007) |
"Narrrowly cast documentary focuses so exclusively on a publicity tour the former president took in the closing months of 2006 that a more accurate title might be Jimmy Carter How I Sold My Book." |

Joe Strummer: The Future is Unwritten (2007) |
"A beautiful, evocative collage composed of concert footage, photographs, interviews and film clips, as well as interviews with people who knew him, the film is a rigorously thorough biography and an impassioned accolade." |
Carina Chocano |
Splat 1/5 |
Joe's Apartment (1996) |
"John Payson's Joe's Apartment may well have been a funny MTV short, but stretched to feature length it's got to be the most putrid picture since The Garbage Pail Kids Movie nearly a decade ago." |

John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars (2001) |
