Jackass: Number Two (2006)

"It would be easy to go on at length about how tasteless and repulsive the movie is, but what's really depressing about it is the repetitiveness and tedium."

The Jacket (2005)

"Lukewarm kitsch...neither powerful enough to be taken seriously nor splashily crude enough to be a guilty pleasure."

James and the Giant Peach (1996)

Japanese Story (2004)

"The makers sustain its fragile, delicate spirit with considerable skill...in its curiously muted, ruminative fashion it proves oddly affecting."

Jason and the Argonauts (2000)

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001)

"A flick designed so exclusively for his rabid fans that outsiders won't even understand, let alone enjoy it."

Jeepers Creepers (2001)

"The first half...is surprisingly lithe and stylish...That's not enough, unfortunately, to save its increasingly poor second half, which careens into silliness."

Jersey Girl (2004)

"You might think you're trapped in a 'Bachelor Father' marathon...though it's hardly 'Gigli' redux, it's so mercilessly sweet and cloying that it might make you gagli."

Jesus Camp (2006)

"The scariest movie of the season by far...a fine, thought-provoking documentary."

Jet Lag (2003)

"A slight, wispy confection that never manages to take wing."

Jiminy Glick in LaLaWood (2004)

"Sporadically amusing but more often flat...its batting average is regrettably low."

Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius (2001)

"It's no 'Shrek,' and not even a 'Monsters, Inc.,' but it's a genial kidflick that should amuse the younger set."

Joe Dirt (2001)

"A grubby Forrest Gump minus the computer-generated presidents and the charm."

Joe Somebody (2001)

"Innocuous and instantly forgettable...for the most part the material is flat, and it's flatly played."

Joe Versus the Volcano (1990)

No article available.

John Q (2002)

"A meretricious melodrama that manages to reduce serious social and economic issues to the most cheaply sensationalistic level."

Johnny English (2003)

"Like something that comes to theatres courtesy of a time warp rather than a projector...rather tedious despite Atkinson's oafish charm."

Johnson Family Vacation (2004)

"Not only a blatant ripoff of 'National Lampoon's Vacation,' it's a lousy one besides."

Joshua (2002)

"A well-meaning but flat and awfully simple-minded parable that aims to be uplifting and ends up rather silly."

Joshua (2007)

"A genuinely unsettling film about a sociopathic child...an enjoyably decorous creepshow."

Journey Into Fear (1942)

No article available.

Joy Ride (2001)

"A numbingly idiotic retread, a half-baked mixture of 'Duel' and 'The Hitcher' that's markedly inferior to both....Goes nowhere fast."

Ju-On: The Grudge (2004)

"A series of scare scenes that seem arbitrary even by the lax standards of the genre. If you like a little logic to go with your cinematic chills, you'd better look elsewhere."
