Tomato 3/4 |
The U.S. vs. John Lennon (2006) |
"It's full-up with footage that shows the hero of the Yoko Ono-sanctioned film to be as witty, entertaining and dependably charismatic as ever, and rarely as simple-minded as his detractors would have it." |
Dan DeLuca |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Ugly Truth (2009) |
"Here's hoping that this unfunny comedy doesn't set both sexes back by 50 years." |
Carrie Rickey |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Ultimate X: The Movie (2002) |
"There's lots of cool stuff packed into ESPN's Ultimate X." |
Dan DeLuca |

Unaccompanied Minors (2006) |
"A noisy, not particularly charming collection of skits and skirmishes." |
Steven Rea |
Splat |
Unbreakable (2000) |
"Far-fetched and utterly humorless." |
Steven Rea |
Splat 2/4 |
Uncle Nino (2003) |
"A creaky, cliched, feel-good family drama about learning to stop and smell the roses - and planting a vegetable garden while you're at it -- Uncle Nino is shameless, sappy fare." |

Splat 2.5/4 |
Under the Same Moon (2008) |
"A story that's too cute, too corny and too contrived." |
Steven Rea |
Tomato |
Under the Sand (2001) |
"This is a mournful, moving piece of filmic poetry." |
Steven Rea |
Tomato 3/4 |
Under the Sea 3D (2009) |
"The footage is spectacular, the colors electric, the life aquatic trippier than anything you'll see in even the most wildly imaginative animated fare." |
Steven Rea |

Under the Sun (2001) |
"This modest drama is the art-house equivalent of comfort food: satisfying in its familiarity." |
Steven Rea |
Tomato 3/4 |
Under the Tuscan Sun (2003) |
"Movie and book both are delightful, but very, very different." |
Carrie Rickey |
Tomato 3/4 |
Undercover Brother (2002) |
"Displays the disarming nutball sensibility of a Naked Gun farce and the dead-on social satire of an on-its-game Saturday Night Live sketch." |
Steven Rea |
Tomato 3/4 |
Undertow (2004) |
"A small, unsettling thriller." |
Steven Rea |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Underworld: Evolution (2006) |
"A monster chiller sequel that is visually spectacular but rather overburdened with story." |
David Hiltbrand |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Undiscovered (2005) |
"An enjoyably cheesy teen melodrama with a touch of indie edge." |
Steven Rea |
Tomato 3/4 |
Undisputed (2002) |
"A muscular, no-nonsense genre pic." |
Steven Rea |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Unfaithful (2002) |
"Despite some fine, nuanced acting, Unfaithful doesn't get much deeper than a romance novel." |
Steven Rea |
Splat 2.5/4 |
An Unfinished Life (2005) |
"Everything about An Unfinished Life's screenplay is cliched and predictable, but the actors manage to elevate the proceedings above and beyond shameless soap." |

Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Uninvited (2009) |
"A teenager's resistance to her father's new girlfriend provides the emotional underpinnings for The Uninvited, a spooky, if narcotic, psychological thriller adapted from a 2003 K-horror suspenser." |
Steven Rea |
Tomato 4/4 |
United 93 (2006) |
"There's no way to watch United 93, Paul Greengrass' heartbreaking, pulse-pounding drama about the lone hijacked commercial airliner that failed to reach its target on Sept. 11, 2001, and not anticipate the dreadful outcome." |
Steven Rea |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The United States of Leland (2004) |
"The strengths of Leland ... come from its performances." |

Unleashed (2005) |
"Picture Of Mice and Men remade for the smash-mouth set and you have Unleashed." |
David Hiltbrand |

The Untold Story of Emmet Louis Till (2005) |
"Potent and searing." |
Carrie Rickey |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Untraceable (2008) |
"An abhorrent cyberthriller starring a compelling Diane Lane, the film exploits the inhumanity of torture as it cynically condemns Internet rubberneckers (and by extension, moviegoers) for watching it online." |
Carrie Rickey |
Tomato 4/4 |
Up (2009) |
"How much do I love this movie? If it were mathematically possible, I'd give it five stars out of four." |
Carrie Rickey |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Up and Down (2005) |
"Hrebejk wrings real poignancy out of the screenplay's wet rag of fateful coincidences and ill-fated relationships." |
Steven Rea |
Tomato 4/4 |
Up in the Air (2009) |
"I don't know if it's the best movie of the year, but it's the most utterly enjoyable." |
Carrie Rickey |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Up The Yangtze (2007) |
"Myth and reality, past and present, tradition and progress go head to head in Yung Chang's remarkable documentary about China's longest river, Up the Yangtze." |
Tirdad Derakhshani |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Upside of Anger (2005) |
"This is a movie that rests on its two leads. Allen and Costner play their parts like injured predators licking each other's wounds. They are magnificent, and they are healing." |
Carrie Rickey |

Urban Legends: Final Cut (2000) |
"It's a decidedly postmodern, self-referential sort of thing. And it's still not very good." |
Steven Rea |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Ushpizin (2005) |
"A gently comedic parable that offers a unique view of a cloistered society while addressing themes of faith, family and friendship that are universal." |
