Tomato

The Jacket (2005)

"The acting is uniformly excellent."

Andrew Sarris

Splat

The Jacket (2005)

"A gruesome, pretentious and incompetent mess."

Rex Reed

Jackie Brown (1997)

Andrew Sarris

Splat

Jackpot (2001)

"Despite the engaging talents of Mr. Gries, Mr. Morris and Ms. Hannah, the best thing about Jackpot is the generous spirit that pervades Sunny’s on-the-road encounters with three representative but strictly dream-level pick-ups."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

The Jane Austen Book Club (2007)

"The cast alone makes The Jane Austen Book Club good -- though not great -- entertainment for at least the bookish moviegoers among us."

Andrew Sarris

Splat

Janice Beard 45 WPM (2002)

"All ends well, sort of, but the frenzied comic moments never click."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

Japanese Story (2004)

"Overcomes a whole array of mystifying improbabilities and unlikely affinities to serve as an emotionally compelling vehicle for Toni Collette."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

Jar City (2008)

"For those of us, like me, who know next to nothing about Iceland or the Icelandic cinema, Jar City is an absorbingly revelatory experience, and one of the most mesmerizing movies of the year."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

Jarhead (2005)

"In all respects, Jarhead is straight from the horse’s mouth. See it."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

Jazz in the Diamond District (2009)

"The music, with its infectious energy, together with Ms. Cameron’s onstage charisma makes Jazz in the Diamond District well worth seeing."

Andrew Sarris

Splat

Jersey Girl (2004)

"A mess, but forced to carry the rest of this too-saccharine but sometimes amusing film based on the personal experiences of scruffy, offbeat director Kevin Smith, Mr. Affleck has his moments."

Rex Reed

Tomato

Jet Lag (2003)

"Director Thompson and her two A-list stars take a grand holiday from their usual seriousness, exploring all of the possibilities offered by this situation with charm and style."

Rex Reed

Splat

Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade (2001)

"Confirms my preference for live-action cinematography, without any tricks or conceits to place quotation marks around an already fantastic illusion of reality."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

Jindabyne (2007)

"Jindabyne requires patience, but the payoff is rewarding."

Rex Reed

Splat

John Q (2002)

"Manipulative sentimentality, contrived plot and phony climax."

Rex Reed

Tomato

Joshua (2007)

"Joshua is a reason for applause."

Rex Reed

Tomato

Joyeux Noël (2006)

"Profound, beautifully made and deeply touching."

Rex Reed

Tomato

Julie & Julia (2009)

"This movie is an emerald of enchantment in the current sewer of cinematic trap rock."

Rex Reed

Splat

Jumper (2008)

"A piece of idiotic sci-fi piffle called Jumper looks like $90 billion wasted on 90 minutes of popcorn junk. Even the butter is phony."

Rex Reed

Tomato

Junebug (2005)

"All the acting is so good, and the setting is so rightly observed, that Junebug emerges as one of the best pictures of the year."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

Jung (War) in the Land of the Mujaheddin (2001)

"Jung is nothing if not timely, relevant and resonant in its heroic humanism in the face of the seemingly endless suffering of the people in this war-ravaged land."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

Juno (2007)

"Juno represents an almost magical configuration of very talented people with very much the same brand of whipsaw humor."

Andrew Sarris

Tomato

Juno (2007)

"The snappy, new wave dialogue and a sprightly cast that considers suburban insanity as normal as an addiction to nasal spray and one-calorie breath mints turns Juno into an incendiary comic spree."

Rex Reed

Tomato

Just Like Heaven (2005)

"See two charming characters make beautiful music together."

Andrew Sarris
