I am a Sex Addict (2005) |
"I Am a Sex Addict starts out amusingly. But, as any one-joke movie is bound to, it quickly becomes tiresome." |
V.A. Musetto |
Tomato 3/4 |
I Am Legend (2007) |
"Is going to be bigger than crucifix sales on Judgment Day. Scary, inventive, exciting and breathless adventure." |
Kyle Smith |
Tomato 3/4 |
I Am Sam (2002) |
"It works magic because of Penn, who disappears into the character so thoroughly that even Dustin Hoffman ... would be jealous." |
Lou Lumenick |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
I Am Trying to Break Your Heart (2002) |
"The concert footage is stirring, the recording sessions are intriguing, and -- on the way to striking a blow for artistic integrity -- this quality band may pick up new admirers." |
Megan Turner |
Splat 1/4 |
I Can't Think Straight (2008) |
"Hw do they tell their boyfriends and parents that they're gay? Conventionally, that's how." |
|
Splat 2/4 |
I Capture the Castle (2003) |
"Overly mannered and schmaltzy." |
Megan Lehmann |
Tomato 3/4 |
I Don't Hear the Guitar Anymore (1991) |
"Garrel buffs, of which there are many, won't want to miss this one. Other viewers should decide based on their tolerance for talky, contemplative but rewarding cinema." |
V.A. Musetto |
Splat |
I Dreamed of Africa (2000) |
"Out of Africa, which was so bland I'd almost forgotten it, packs a dramatic wallop compared with the enervated storytelling in I Dreamed of Africa." |
Lou Lumenick |
Tomato 3/4 |
I Hate Sao Paulo (2004) |
"Using a first-rate cast and script, combined with jump cuts and vivid shots of Sao Paulo, Barros delivers a thought-provoking message about the high price of materialism and political dissent." |
V.A. Musetto |
Splat 0/4 |
I Hate Valentine's Day (2009) |
"What it lacks in laughs -- there are none -- it tries to make up for by ladling on stale clichés, such as Vardalos' two stereotypically gay assistants and a desperate younger female friend who stalks guys." |
Lou Lumenick |
Tomato 3/4 |
I Heart Huckabees (2004) |
"Amid the pandemonium there's a sense of truly rigorous soul-searching." |
Megan Lehmann |
Splat 0.5/4 |
I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell (2009) |
"Rarely fails to be excruciating." |
Kyle Smith |
Splat 0/4 |
I Know Who Killed Me (2007) |
"[A] sleazy, inept and worthless piece of torture porn." |
Lou Lumenick |
Tomato 3/4 |
I Like Killing Flies (2006) |
"An irresistible no-budget documentary." |
Lou Lumenick |
Tomato 3/4 |
I Love You (2005) |
"The director, 30-year-old Dalibor Matanic, allows himself a few weepy moments, but mostly the script stays on target, accompanied by strong acting and lensing." |
V.A. Musetto |
Tomato 3/4 |
I Love You, Beth Cooper (2009) |
"Makes for a lively and refreshing glimpse into how the other half lives." |
Kyle Smith |
Splat 2/4 |
I Love You, Man (2009) |
"I Love You, Man, which is like listening to a 105-minute conversation be tween Ross and Joey on Friends, looks like it might be a Judd Apatow movie in the same way Brett Favre, in a Jets uniform, looked like he might still know how to play quarterback." |
Kyle Smith |
Splat .5/4 |
I Love Your Work (2005) |
"At last, Adam Goldberg has given us his 8 1/2. It's an ambitious rumination on fame, reality, love, loss and regret that falls so far short, he should have called it 2 1/8." |
Kyle Smith |
Splat 1/4 |
I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (2007) |
"If there were a Straight Lack-of-Pride Parade, I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry could be the grand marshal. The movie isn't insulting to homosexuals but to comedy." |
Kyle Smith |
Tomato 3/4 |
I Remember Me (2001) |
"[A] passionate film." |
V.A. Musetto |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
I Sell the Dead (2009) |
"Genre fans will definitely get off on I Sell the Dead, but outsiders might be less enthusiastic." |
V.A. Musetto |
Tomato 3/4 |
I Served the King of England (2008) |
"Charming to the max, Served unfolds in Czechoslovakia when it was ruled by the Germans and, later, the Soviets." |
V.A. Musetto |
Splat 1/4 |
I Spy (2002) |
"The fights are poorly staged, the chases are boring -- and a series of crashes and explosions can't disguise that absolutely nothing of interest is going on for long stretches." |
Lou Lumenick |
Splat 1/4 |
I Think I Love My Wife (2007) |
"Chris Rock, who famously mocked Jude Law's movie career at the Oscars, ought to watch out for his own after his second dud in a row as an actor-director, the screamingly unfunny romantic comedy I Think I Love My Wife." |
Lou Lumenick |
Splat 2/4 |
I Trust You to Kill Me (2006) |
"A European tour by Rocco DeLuca and the Burden, an utterly generic blues-rock bar band that Sutherland thinks is brilliant, is the subject of the film." |
Kyle Smith |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With (2007) |
"A slight but charming DIY feature." |
Lou Lumenick |
Splat 2/4 |
I Will Survive (1999) |
"Familiar, soapy script." |
V.A. Musetto |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
I'll Sing For You (2004) |
"Enjoyable if only to hear KarKar perform his mournful and personal songs, including a tender tribute to his late wife." |
V.A. Musetto |
Splat 2/4 |
I'll Sleep When I'm Dead (2004) |
"An atmospheric but sluggish and needlessly confusing British contemporary film noir that may indeed leave some audience members struggling to stay awake." |
Lou Lumenick |
Tomato 3/4 |
I'm Going Home (2002) |
"Piccoli is superb as an aging actor named Gilbert Valence." |
V.A. Musetto |
Tomato 3/4 |
I'm Not Scared (2004) |
"This satisfying adaptation of a popular novel is mostly an artistic reflection on youthful loss of innocence." |
Lou Lumenick |
Tomato 3/4 |
I'm Not There (2007) |
"An exhilarant. Sends you out of the theater just as Dylan (and Rimbaud) would have it: with a riot of perfumes." |
Kyle Smith |
Splat .5/4 |
I'm Reed Fish (2007) |
"The movie, which looks like it was made on the cheapest camera borrowed from the A/V club, was apparently based on the experience of its writer, Reed Fish, who should either await more interesting experiences or work up some imagination." |
Kyle Smith |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
I'm Taraneh, 15 (2006) |
"Taraneh is superbly played by same-named Taraneh Alidousti, whose angelic face is made for the movie camera." |
V.A. Musetto |
Tomato 3/4 |
I've Loved You So Long (2008) |
"You'd have to be made of stone not to weep at the confession that caps I've Loved You So Long." |
Lou Lumenick |
Tomato 3/4 |
I, Robot (2004) |
"Surprisingly smart, cool-looking, nicely paced and well-acted." |
Lou Lumenick |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Ice Age (2002) |
"Almost everything about Ice Age proves to be disappointingly generic." |
Jonathan Foreman |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006) |
"Ice Age: The Meltdown, a follow-up to the 2002 animated prehistoric hit, is the rare sequel that is better than the original." |
Lou Lumenick |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Ice Harvest (2005) |
"The Ice Harvest is a treat for everyone who hates holidays." |
Lou Lumenick |
Splat 1/4 |
Ice Princess (2005) |
"If you're wondering which way the movie is going, note that it isn't called Quadratic Equation Princess." |
Kyle Smith |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ichi the Killer (2002) |
"Those who want to be jolted out of their gourd should drop everything and run to Ichi." |
V.A. Musetto |
Tomato 3/4 |
Identity (2003) |
"A genuinely cunning psychological thriller." |
Megan Lehmann |
Splat 0.5/4 |
The Idiots (1998) |
"A tedious, pretentious bore." |
Jonathan Foreman |
Splat |
Idle Hands (1999) |
"A disastrous attempt to mix comedy and horror!" |
Jonathan Foreman |
Splat 2/4 |
Idlewild (2006) |
"It's basically a series of music videos -- a few quite good -- strung together over two long hours and loosely connected by a weak story line loaded with anachronisms." |
Lou Lumenick |
Splat 1/4 |
If I Didn't Care (2007) |
"At 80 minutes, this movie is short, but long enough to be boring." |
Kyle Smith |
Tomato 3/4 |
Igby Goes Down (2002) |
"The real triumphs in Igby come from Philippe, who makes Oliver far more interesting than the character's lines would suggest, and Sarandon, who couldn't be better as a cruel but weirdly likable WASP matron." |
Jonathan Foreman |
Splat 2/4 |
Igor (2008) |
"Pieced together from Tim Burton and various other sources with more desperation than inspiration." |
Lou Lumenick |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Il Divo (2009) |
"Director Paolo Sorrentino's knockout drama Il Divo concentrates on Andreotti's final government (1991-92) and subsequent legal battles." |
V.A. Musetto |
Splat 0/4 |
Illegal Tender (2007) |
"The real mystery here is why this slapdash semi-effort didn't go straight to video." |
