I Capture the Castle (2003) |
"A fresh reminder of the tart taste of first love and the disarming sweetness of becoming an adult." |

Tomato A |
I Heart Huckabees (2004) |
"Brilliant use of the screwball comedy form to represent and explore existential themes...fodder for dorm debates and cultural studies theses, it is also a ton of fun.

I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (2007) |
"its mild pleasures are spoiled by its belief that homophobic humor can be somehow sanitized by a cheesy Shylock-ripoff speech about how it's who we are as people that really matters. As if." |

I Spy (2002) |

I Think I Love My Wife (2007) |
"The film ultimately fails to make Nikki an enticing character. She is just a one-dimensional manipulator. This removes the drama, the danger, and the interest from the story." |

I, Robot (2004) |
"The smallest effects are as seamless and important to the story as the big ones, from Spooner's examination of 1001 robots standing in formation to the wink of an eye.

Ice Age (2002) |
"The fur and feathers, the glint of the sun on ice, and the soft sparkle of the snowflakes falling at night are perfectly rendered. And it's very funny." |

Tomato B- |
Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006) |
"There are brightly funny individual scenes, especially the "Fire King" encounter (though it seems to have been taken straight from one of the Hope and Crosby "Road" movies), but it doesn't have the power or imagination of the first." |

Illegal Tender (2007) |
"It is fun to see Wanda de Jesus get all Pam Grier and shoot off two big guns at once after making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for her son. But the big dumb story and the big dumb dialogue keep getting in the way." |

Imagine Me & You (2006) |
"The real departure is not the gender of the loved one -- it is the violation of the "almost" rule of comedy. The disconnect between tone and action prevents it from achieving the essential spirit of lightness and possibility." |

In Her Shoes (2005) |
"The set-up is as heavy-handed as the shoe metaphor, but heartfelt performances, sympathetic direction, and sharp writing make up for some soapiness and inconsistency." |
