Tomato 3/4 |
G-Force (2009) |
"It's more fun than it should be." |
Linda Winer |
Tomato |
G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) |
"It’s enjoyable enough while it’s speeding along. Like the Joes themselves, the movie succeeds by simply crashing headfirst through every obstacle." |
Rafer Guzman |
Tomato 3/4 |
Gabrielle (2005) |
"As a couple, Jean and Gabrielle are a corseted waking nightmare. As co-stars, [Isabelle] Huppert and [Pascal] Greggory make a dream match." |
Gene Seymour |
Tomato 3/4 |
Galaxy Quest (1999) |
"Spaceballs meets the Six Clueless Samurai." |
John Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Game 6 (2006) |
"Screenwriter DeLillo and director Michael Hoffman have a near-perfect player in Michael Keaton." |
John Anderson |
Splat 2/4 |
The Game Plan (2007) |
"[Actress] Pettis is adorable, but she's compelled to push the cuteness dial well past one's tolerance level." |
Gene Seymour |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Gamer (2009) |
"Butler is perfect as a piece of barbequed beef, Kyra Sedgwick plays a sexy talk-show host and there are small roles for John Leguizamo and Chris "Ludacris" Bridges." |
Rafer Guzman |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Games of Love and Chance (2005) |
"Kechiche extracts breathtakingly disciplined performances from all of his first-time actors, and truly magical ones from Forestier as the prematurely full-blown diva Lydia and Sabrina Ouazani as Frida, her motor-mouthed partner in theatrical crime." |
Jan Stuart |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Gangs of New York (2002) |
"Gangs, for all its bloodletting, is the aberrant case of a movie that needed more violence to make its moral point." |
John Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Gangster No. 1 (2002) |
"They crush each other under cars, throw each other out windows, electrocute and dismember their victims in full consciousness. And we don't avert our eyes for a moment." |
Jan Stuart |
Tomato 3/4 |
Garage Days (2003) |
"For all its libidinous, chemically suggestive bombast, it's essentially a sweet-natured, modestly likable little film." |
Jan Stuart |
Tomato 3/4 |
Garcon Stupide (2006) |
"Garcon Stupide is a seamless blending of fiction with the biographical truths of its riveting non-professional star, Pierre Chatagny, who endows Loic with the incomparable gift of life in the process of being lived." |
Jan Stuart |
Tomato 3/4 |
Garden State (2004) |
"A richly populated if uneven act of comic catharsis." |
Jan Stuart |
Splat 2/4 |
Garfield the Movie (2004) |
"A calculatingly fluffy version of Jim Davis' strip." |
Gene Seymour |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Gaudi Afternoon (2001) |
"Even the crackpot architectural genius of Antonio Gaudi cannot elevate this silly little farce of sexual confusion from director Susan Seidelman and writer James Myhre." |
Jan Stuart |
Tomato 3/4 |
Gay Sex in the 70's (2005) |
"Lovett employs bittersweet but blissful recollections of men who can only be described as survivors." |
John Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
George A. Romero's Land of the Dead (2005) |
"Land of the Dead may not be the 'masterpiece' its promoters claim, but it is the work of a master." |
Gene Seymour |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Gerry (2003) |
"The results are part biblical allegory, part existential crucible, and remind one that anytime the meaning of life is questioned, it's positive -- because it presumes the possibility of meaning." |
John Anderson |
Splat |
Get Carter (2000) |
"Once again, [Stallone] cops out on shadows and dimension." |
Gene Seymour |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Get Rich or Die Tryin' (2005) |
"The film moves, albeit under an oppressive cloud of deja vu." |
Jan Stuart |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Get Smart (2008) |
"Get Smart does all it can to please; thanks mostly to Carell, it just barely succeeds." |
Rafer Guzman |
Tomato |
Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (1999) |
"Dryly funny and important." |
John Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ghost Rider (2007) |
"Surprised as I am to concede it, Ghost Rider smokes." |
Jan Stuart |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Ghost Ship (2002) |
"In the not-too-distant future, movies like Ghost Ship will be used as analgesic balm for overstimulated minds. Right now, they're merely signposts marking the slow, lingering death of imagination." |
Gene Seymour |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Ghost Town (2008) |
"A delightful antidote to the comedic excesses of the season, Ghost Town is smart, sexy fun that should leave no doubt (if there was any) that Ricky Gervais is among the funniest men in film." |
Justin Davidson |
Tomato |
Ghost World (2001) |
"So downscale it's liberating, so downbeat it's uplifting." |
Gene Seymour |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ghostlight (2004) |
"Achieves substance as a historical document, an homage, an appreciation of the axis of empathy shared between larger- than-life women and the (frequently) gay men who venerate them." |
Jan Stuart |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ghosts of Cite Soleil (2007) |
"The director, Asger Leth, isn't terribly organized, but he puts us smack in the middle of everything: petty squabbles, horrible riots, casual shootings, even a love triangle." |
Rafer Guzman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009) |
"Like Connor with his women, the film picks up ideas and then drops them. At one point, Connor reflects on Wayne: 'I never figured out why he called me Dutch.' Weirdly, neither do we." |
Rafer Guzman |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ghosts of the Abyss (2003) |
"Documentary dramatizations usually are awful, but in Ghosts of the Abyss, they work." |
John Anderson |
Splat |
The Gift (2001) |
"Uneven and conventional." |
John Anderson |
Splat 0.5/4 |
Gigantic (2008) |
"Eventually Gigantic decides to become a heartwarmer, and why not? Any ending -- including nuclear devastation or a 1940s musical number -- would have worked, too." |
Rafer Guzman |
Tomato 3/4 |
Gigantic (A Tale of Two Johns) (2003) |
"As incessantly clever and coyly ironic as its subject's music." |
Gene Seymour |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Gigli (2003) |
"Brest freights his actors with leaden pacing and a theatrical gangster-speak somewhere to the left of Damon Runyon and the right of Elmore Leonard." |
Jan Stuart |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
A Girl Cut in Two (2008) |
"Sex, murder, insanity, perversity -- A Girl Cut in Two has it all, yet it stands as a singularly classy and sophisticated drama." |
Rafer Guzman |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Girl from Paris (2002) |
"It's simply delightful to watch an actor like Michel Serrault do his stuff." |
John Anderson |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Girl Next Door (2004) |
"The whole movie is a fantasy, of course, but one that seems determined from the start to undermine our suspension of disbelief." |
John Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
Girl with a Pearl Earring (2003) |
"Visually, the film is breathtaking. And Johansson, while not looking much like the Girl with the Pearl, does achieve a Vermeer- like sublimity, against which the ill winds of 1600s Holland blow." |
John Anderson |
Splat |
Girl, Interrupted (1999) |
"Unrelenting grimness settles over the movie like a soupy fog, changing shape only to add unnecessary suspense to the more ominous -- and obvious -- plot turns." |
Gene Seymour |
Tomato |
Girlfight (2000) |
"Karyn Kusama ... has made a movie as tough-minded as its right-hooking heroine, and just as intelligent." |
John Anderson |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Girlhood (2003) |
"Filmed with levelheaded tenderness and often startling intimacy." |
Gene Seymour |
Tomato 3/4 |
Girls Can't Swim (2002) |
"Birot creates a drama with such a well-defined sense of place and age -- as in, 15 years old -- that the torments and angst become almost as operatic to us as they are to her characters." |
John Anderson |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Girls Will Be Girls (2003) |
"To appreciate Girls Will Be Girls to the max, it probably helps to have taken at least one semester of Screen Camp 101." |
Jan Stuart |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Giuliani Time (2006) |
"Keating's film brings back, to queasy-making effect, the state of New York City's body politic under Rudolph Giuliani's mayoral tenure." |
Gene Seymour |
Tomato |
Gladiator (2000) |
"Ancient Rome looks as splendiferous as we all remembered from the dozens of toga-sandal-and-chariot epics that came in waves back in the late 1950s and early '60s." |
Gene Seymour |
Splat |
Glitter (2001) |
"The dubbing of the musical numbers is so inept that any cathartic effect of the music is totally lost in the distances between artist, art and audience." |
John Anderson |
Tomato |
Go Tigers! (2001) |
"Manages to be probing about its subject without overdoing pageantry or shortchanging passion." |
Gene Seymour |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Goal! (2006) |
"Hard to ignore the cliches and the in-your-face uplift. But the details, gritty and otherwise, feel right." |
Gene Seymour |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
God Grew Tired of Us (2007) |
"The movie manages to be an elegantly rendered portrait of the refugees' uneasy, but dogged engagement of American possibility, braced by an equally dogged plea to acknowledge the horrible conflict that still keeps them from returning home." |
Gene Seymour |
Splat 2/4 |
God Is Great, I'm Not (2002) |
"A movie in which two not very absorbing characters are engaged in a romance you can't wait to see end." |
John Anderson |
