Nacho Libre (2006) |
"Nacho Libre, the often hilarious follow-up to Napoleon Dynamite by director Jared Hess, settles it: This is the world's funniest Mormon." |
Kyle Smith |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Naked Boys Singing (2007) |
"It's obviously not for all tastes, but there's going to be an appreciative audience for any musical whose opening number is 'Gratuitous Nudity.'" |
Lou Lumenick |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Naked Fame (2005) |
"This is ultimately a sunny movie full of likable characters." |
Russell Scott Smith |

Naked in Ashes (2005) |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Namesake (2007) |
"This gorgeously designed and photographed movie artfully depicts the immigrant experience in ways that transcend its setting." |
Lou Lumenick |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Nancy Drew (2007) |
"A well-written and in many ways pleasing update of a character who has endured in print for 78 years." |
Lou Lumenick |

Nanking (2007) |
"[A] powerful documentary." |
Lou Lumenick |
Splat .5/4 |
The Nanny Diaries (2007) |
"Locked down in a celluloid prison cell marked The Nanny Diaries for 105 punishingly awful minutes, I was seconds away from crying 'Attica' and leading a tactical assault on the projectionist's booth when the words 'The End' appeared on screen." |
Kyle Smith |
Splat 2/4 |
Nanny McPhee (2006) |
"The kiddie komedy of Nanny McPhee shows that Mary Poppins plus Charles Dickens can add up to less than even Cheaper by the Dozen." |
Kyle Smith |
Tomato 3/4 |
Napoleon Dynamite (2004) |
"A little movie with a lot of heart and a lot of laughs." |
Lou Lumenick |
Tomato 3/4 |
Naqoyqatsi (2002) |

Narc (2002) |
"Exciting but brutal." |
Lou Lumenick |
Splat 1/4 |
The Narrows (2009) |
"A tired and derivative plot builds up to an unconvincing series of shootings with which the movie fills its violence quota." |

National Lampoon's Gold Diggers (2004) |
"This is the spectacularly inept directing debut of writer-producer Gary Priesler, who is said to have 12 other movies in development. God help us." |
Lou Lumenick |
Splat 0/4 |
National Lampoon's Van Wilder (2002) |
"This is the sort of low-grade dreck that usually goes straight to video --with a lousy script, inept direction, pathetic acting, poorly dubbed dialogue and murky cinematography, complete with visible boom mikes." |
Lou Lumenick |
Splat 1/4 |
National Security (2003) |
"Lazy and uninspired." |
Jonathan Foreman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
National Treasure (2004) |
"Interminable and riddled with plot holes you could drive a humvee through." |
Lou Lumenick |
Splat 1.5/4 |
National Treasure 2 : Book of Secrets (2007) |
"It's another flick about maps, landmarks and buried treasure that makes The Da Vinci Code look like Tolstoy." |

The Nativity Story (2006) |
"Even some of the many nuns at the screening I attended were shifting uncomfortably in their wimples." |
Lou Lumenick |

The Nazi Officer's Wife |
"The amazing story of Edith Hahn Beer, an Austrian Jew who survived the Holocaust by passing herself off as Aryan." |

Ned Kelly (2004) |
"A leaden retelling of the legend of Australia's Jesse James that has understandably been sitting on the shelf for a couple of years." |
Lou Lumenick |
Tomato 3/4 |
Neighbor 13 (2005) |
"The Neighbor No. Thirteen forgoes the manic violence of the Korean revenge stunner Oldboy in favor of leisurely paced suspense with sudden bloody outbursts." |

Neil Young - Greendale (2004) |
"This is a patience-testing curiosity strictly for the veteran rocker's hard-core fans." |
Lou Lumenick |

Neil Young - Heart of Gold (2006) |
"A schmaltzy filmed record of a Nashville concert given by the legendary former rocker, who has morphed into the new Kenny Rogers." |

Never Again (2002) |
"Schaeffer should take the advice of his own movie's title the next time he thinks about coercing some poor actress into making a fool of herself." |
Megan Turner |

Never Apologize: A Personal Visit with Lindsay Anderson (2008) |
"The film Never Apologize... doesn't sound like compelling viewing. But when the man on the stage is actor Malcolm McDowell and his subject is British filmmaker Lindsay Anderson, the viewing is entertaining and touching." |

Never Back Down (2008) |
"A formula flick that should have tapped out in the script stage." |

Never Been Kissed (1999) |
"Effortlessly convincing as a smart, klutzy, Marilyn Monroe-ishly vulnerable but prematurely spinsterish romantic, Barrymore displays here a comic talent equal to Goldie Hawn's or Meg Ryan's at their best." |
Jonathan Foreman |

Never Been Thawed (2006) |
"Painfully unfunny." |
Lou Lumenick |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Never Die Alone (2004) |

"Uneven, with long sections that are completely unfunny." |
Jonathan Foreman |
Splat 2/4 |
New Guy (2005) |
"This is Ebiri's first feature after directing four shorts. He shows talent, but shouldn't give up his day job just yet." |

New in Town (2009) |
"With the recession getting worse by the day, it's asking an awful lot for audiences to laugh at a romantic comedy centering on corporate layoffs." |

New Suit (2002) |
"A trite 21st century update on Hans Christian Andersen's The Emperor's New Clothes." |
Lou Lumenick |

The New Twenty (2009) |
"Chris Mason Johnson directs from a script he co-wrote, giving us little reason to care for his physically attractive, emotionally empty characters." |

The New World (2005) |
"This lavish coffee-table-book of a movie gradually reveals itself as an uninvolving, crashing bore." |
Lou Lumenick |
Splat 1/4 |
New World Order (2009) |
"Instead of digging up and making sense of true information, it tracks half a dozen boring conspiracy theorists spouting balderdash and makes no effort to check out their cuckoo claims." |

New York City Serenade (2009) |
"One of those pointless indies that you'll have forgotten before the credits roll." |
Kyle Smith |

New York Doll (2005) |
"New York Doll has a killer surprise ending that may leave even hard-core punkers reaching for the Kleenex." |
Lou Lumenick |

New York Minute (2004) |
"In trying to straddle both the grown-up and kiddie worlds with this inappropriately sexualized effort ... the Olsens have lost their footing." |
Megan Lehmann |

New York, I Love You (2009) |
"Yknow a collection of Gotham-themed shorts by international directors is in serious trouble when the most entertaining segment is directed by Hollywood uber-hack Brett Ratner." |
Lou Lumenick |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Next (2007) |
"Next, which makes National Treasure look like a model of narrative logic, is almost beyond criticism." |
Lou Lumenick |

The Next Best Thing (2000) |
"There hasn't been a Hollywood 'message' movie as smug or cheesy as The Next Best Thing in quite a while." |
Jonathan Foreman |

Next Day Air (2009) |
"Far from the worst of Taran tino knockoffs, Next Day Air takes the standard formula of dimwits chasing bags of drugs to the 'hood." |
Kyle Smith |
Splat 1/4 |
Next Friday (1999) |
"The real problem with Next Friday is that the whole movie is so ineptly written and directed that its 90 minutes seem to take twice as long." |
Jonathan Foreman |
Tomato 3/4 |
Nicholas Nickleby (2002) |
"Nathan Lane as the flamboyant theatrical impresario Crummles has never been better or more restrained on film, and Alan Cumming and Timothy Spall are a pleasure, as always." |
