Tomato
3/4

I am a Sex Addict (2005)

"The filmmaker's ability to at once mock himself and consider his dilemma with compassion transforms an otherwise smarmy tale into something honest and insightful."

Steven Rea

Splat
2.5/4

I Am Legend (2007)

"It's almost as if the filmmakers wanted to say something about isolation, and loneliness, in the urban environment. Almost."

Steven Rea

Splat
1.5/4

I Am Sam (2002)

"As maudlin, mawkish and shameless a heartwringer as ever contrived."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato
3.5/4

I Am Trying to Break Your Heart (2002)

"Tells Wilco's story so well that you'll leave the theater thinking the album is a work of genius."

Dan DeLuca

Splat
2/4

I Heart Huckabees (2004)

"A head-scratcher."

Carrie Rickey

Splat
1.5/4

I Love You, Beth Cooper (2009)

"The charmlessness of its central characters -- Rust's charisma-challenged Denis, Panettiere's Barbie-hard and vacuous Beth -- makes this putative farce all the more difficult to endure."

Steven Rea

Tomato
3.5/4

I Love You, Man (2009)

"Among those buddy films lately called 'bromances,' ILYM is both the best friend and best man."

Carrie Rickey

Splat
2/4

I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (2007)

"I feel compelled to apologize about laughing at Chuck and Larry, like many Sandler films less a movie than a fistful of funny moments."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato
3/4

I Served the King of England (2008)

"With equal parts ribaldry and revelry, Menzel tells the story of the manchild who rises from street vendor to waiter to hotelier."

Carrie Rickey

Splat
1.5/4

I Spy (2002)

"The execution is so dumbed-down, so dumbfounding, that sophisticated moviegoers might confuse it for outtakes from Spy Kids 2 and XXX."

Carrie Rickey

Splat
2/4

I Think I Love My Wife (2007)

"Rock fails to develop the characters caught in their conjugal and singleton traps. As usual, his observational humor zings (and stings) -- but this is a movie, not stand-up."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato
3.5/4

I'm Going Home (2002)

"What a role this is for Piccoli, who plays the hubristic king, the bereaved husband, the grand artist, in tones that range from thunder to whisper."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato
3/4

I'm Not Scared (2004)

"Both a spooky reverie about childhood and a slow-burning suspenser in which conspiracy and betrayal shake the foundations of a boy's life."

Steven Rea

Tomato
3.5/4

I'm Not There (2007)

"I'm Not There is at once experimental and mainstream: Haynes juggles the facts, plays fast and loose, but serves up images, and songs that are as much a part of the collective pop consciousness as anything the 20th century produced."

Steven Rea

Tomato
3.5/4

I've Loved You So Long (2008)

"Kristin Scott Thomas gives a performance that is so chilling, so braced in pain that it's almost impossible to bear. Almost impossible, because, in fact, it's impossible not to behold this riveting piece of role immersion."

Steven Rea

Tomato
3/4

I, Robot (2004)

"I, Robot is less compelling as a drama of the human enslavement of androids than it is an intriguing vision of a treeless, cashless future."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato
3.5/4

I.O.U.S.A. (2008)

"There's no quick fix for a culture 'addicted to debt,' as one wag puts it in the film. But watching I.O.U.S.A. is a good place to start."

Steven Rea

Splat
2.5/4

Ice Age (2002)

"On its icy face, the new film is a subzero version of Monsters, Inc., without the latter's imagination, visual charm or texture."

Carrie Rickey

Splat
2/4

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009)

"Director Carlos Saldanha did such an excellent job infusing the second installment with energy that it's a shame he was unable to do the same with Part 3."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato
3/4

Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006)

"On the short list of sequels superior to the originals -- alphabetically between The Godfather, Part II and Toy Story 2 -- you may enter Ice Age: The Meltdown."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato
3/4

The Ice Harvest (2005)

"[A]s an antidote to the sugary confections of the season, its hung-over cynicism works wonders."

Steven Rea

Tomato
2.5/4

Ice Princess (2005)

"The figure-skating sequences thud instead of zing, as though photographed by a hippo in house slippers."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato

Identity (2003)

"An effectively scary, psychological variation on Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None."

Steven Rea

Splat
2.5/4

Idlewild (2006)

"[The Outkast duo] are, as might be expected, terrific in the musical numbers and painfully self-conscious in the dramatic sequences."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato
3.5/4

Igby Goes Down (2002)

"A prickly coming-of-age tale in which everybody -- but especially Culkin -- shines."

Steven Rea

Tomato
3.5/4

Il Divo (2009)

"All in all, this phenomenal film illustrates Alexis de Tocqueville's observation that "The people get the government they deserve." In both meanings of the word, Il Divo is sensational."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato
3.5/4

The Illusionist (2006)

"Conjures up a world of mystery, romance and suspense."

Steven Rea

Tomato
2.5/4

Imaginary Heroes (2004)

"The gift of Imaginary Heroes is getting to know these anything- but-ordinary people."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato
2.5/4

Imagine That (2009)

"Shahidi's and Murphy's scenes together have such warmth, tenderness, and joy that they elevate this cookie-cutter comedy into homemade fun."

Carrie Rickey

Splat
2.5/4

Importance of Being Earnest (2002)

"Despite the sparkling source material ... this romp through Victorian parlors frequently falls flat on its rump."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato
2.5/4

Impostor (2001)

"A thoroughly acceptable sci-fi genre pic."

Steven Rea

Tomato
3.5/4

In a Dream (2009)

"In a Dream captures a family imploding. Their lives are laid bare, in broken bits, like the ceramic that Isaiah uses for his art, and they come together in In a Dream with sadness and beauty, rage and insight."

Steven Rea

Tomato
3.5/4

In America (2003)

"A wondrously emotional film, one that sneakily dismantles your defenses and purges grief you didn't realize you had."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato
3/4

In Bruges (2008)

"In the end, In Bruges is a bit arch and artificial, but it is more than redeemed by Farrell and Gleeson's presence, and by the bushwhacking wit of the film's writer/director."

Steven Rea

Tomato
3/4

In Good Company (2004)

"Before it hits the rails in a third act that has the odor of a test-marketing compromise, Weitz's film moves at an engaging gallop."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato
3/4

In Her Shoes (2005)

"Imagine Sex and the City negotiating Terms of Endearment with The Golden Girls."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato

In Praise of Love (2001)

"Like the best of Godard's movies ... it is visually ravishing, penetrating, impenetrable."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato
3/4

In Search of a Midnight Kiss (2008)

"What follows - walking, talking, flirting, fighting - is a charming piece of low-budget, improv-y filmmaking in the tradition of Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise."

Steven Rea

Splat
2.5/4

In the Cut (2003)

"By no means a disaster, but neither is it the wholly satisfying, sexy suspenser that was Klute."

Steven Rea

Tomato
3/4

In the Land of Women (2007)

"The film belongs to Brody, irritating and endearing and relatable in ways that actors rarely are."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato
3/4

In the Loop (2009)

"A scabrously funny look at the cutthroat game of statecraft."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato

In the Mood for Love (2001)

"A feast for the eyes and succor for the soul."

Tomato
3/4

In the Realms of the Unreal (2004)

"The best thing about In the Realms of the Unreal are the sequences in which Darger's drawings, of epic battles and pigtailed heroines, are gently animated -- the pictures brought to life with subtle, fluttering motion."

Steven Rea

Tomato
4/4

In the Shadow of the Moon (2007)

"In the Shadow of the Moon is, quite simply, a revelation."

Steven Rea

Tomato
3/4

In the Valley of Elah (2007)

"Paul Haggis' earnest and eloquent film about the impact of the war in Iraq on U.S. soldiers, and by extension, their nation, is human-scaled. And as deep and harrowed as Jones' crevassed face."

Carrie Rickey

Splat
2.5/4

The In-Laws (2003)

"Formulaic and unnecessary."

Steven Rea

Tomato
3.5/4

An Inconvenient Truth (2006)

"A powerful film that educates as it engages."

Carrie Rickey

Splat
2.5/4

The Incredible Hulk (2008)

"Alas, The Incredible Hulk is no Iron Man, and a brief appearance by a devilishly goateed Tony Stark only serves to remind us of that fact."

Steven Rea

Tomato
4/4

The Incredibles (2004)

"A movie with the sweet soul of Toy Story and the boisterous spirit of Spy Kids."

Carrie Rickey

Tomato

The Independent (2001)

"Morty Fineman ... doesn't really exist. But the cheese whiz with a camera makes for a hilarious subject."

Carrie Rickey
