Tomato 3.5/4 |
Cabin Fever (2003) |
"Roth slyly invokes the humor of the Evil Dead series while teasingly sidestepping splatter-movie conventions to (de)compose an impressive, disgusting debut..." |
Aaron Hillis |
Tomato 3/4 |
Cabin Fever (2003) |
"Roth knows his stuff, and he’s got enough talent to both effectively pull out all the stops on his gross-outs and smack the mordant side of your funny bone." |
Glenn Kenny |
Tomato |
Caché (2005) |
"An ingeniously open-ended sort of post-millennial Rashomon, in which truths cemented by technological recordings could still be interpreted as virtual lies." |
Aaron Hillis |
Splat 2/4 |
Calendar Girls (2003) |
"While the picture (which is based on a true story) has its charms, it just gets flimsier as it goes on." |
Glenn Kenny |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Camp (2003) |
"Camp may not be great cinema, but it's passionate and original enough to be special." |
Kelly Borgeson |
Splat 2/4 |
Candy (2006) |
"When the film ends, you may want to stay in the dark theater where you can simply dig a hole under your seat and not have to face the bad, bad world." |
Scott Warren |
Tomato 3/4 |
Capitalism: A Love Story (2009) |
"With the global economic meltdown affecting just about everybody, the film is pertinent, hugely entertaining, and, above all, timely." |
Mark Salisbury |
Tomato |
Capote (2005) |
"...the film itself is mere background dressing to Hoffman's savviest performance to date." |
Aaron Hillis |

Captain Corelli's Mandolin (2001) |
"Initial test screenings failed to induce awe. Universal, hoping for an Oscar contender, bumped the film from its spring release so that Madden could recut it." |
|
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Capturing the Friedmans (2003) |
"Jarecki does a remarkable job with this easily exploitable material." |
Howard Karren |
Tomato 3/4 |
Caramel (2008) |
"The penetrating musical score, with its memorable shadings of emotional danger, the snappy and confident pacing and the emergence of 33-year-old Labaki as an international talent to watch all combine to make the film satisfying confection." |
Ryan Stewart |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Carandiru (2004) |
"Stylistically, Carandiru is definitely less monochromatic than an Oz rerun." |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
Carnage (2003) |
"A truly remarkable and compassionate debut from a savvy, self-confident filmmaker. No bull." |
Aaron Hillis |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Cars (2006) |
"What Pixar's latest 'toon lacks in plot freshness, it makes up for with great characters, fun vocal performances, and a script with genuine emotional heft." |
Ethan Alter |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Casa de los Babys (2003) |
"Hobbled by weak argumentation, a character who winds up a complete muddle, and Sayles’s inclination to romanticize Latin American revolutionary types, Casa is as mixed an effort as the filmmaker has essayed in some time." |
Alexis Mersel |
Tomato |
The Case of the Grinning Cat (2006) |
"Organic and overflowing with ideas... Marker's even-handedness and playful spirit show that innocent art and activist politics are two sides of the same culture... this whimsical winner cannot be pigeonholed." |
Aaron Hillis |
Tomato 3/4 |
Casino Royale (2006) |
"Crass product placement, implausible dialogue, plot points that drag on, Casino Royale has them all. The reason none of that really matters is Daniel Craig." |
Jessica Letkemann |
Tomato 3/4 |
Catch a Fire (2006) |
"Right off the bat, Catch a Fire distinguishes itself from other recent international productions about Africa in that it is actually told from an African perspective." |
Ethan Alter |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Catch and Release (2007) |
"It's such a bland example of its genre, it may as well have been titled A Romantic Drama Starring Jennifer Garner." |
Ethan Alter |
Tomato 4/4 |
Catch Me If You Can (2002) |
"This is a delectable film indeed." |
Glenn Kenny |
Tomato 4/4 |
Catch Me If You Can (2002) |
"Catch Me if You Can is an incisive parable about faking it, made by America’s greatest movie artists, Hollywood titans all." |
Howard Karren |
Splat 1/4 |
Catwoman (2004) |
"[Berry] is giving a performance much too earnest to have been intentionally campy, setting herself up as a veritable shoo-in for this year's 'Worst Actress' Razzie. Me-ouch!" |
Peter Debruge |

Catwoman (2004) |
"Berry won’t be the only one purring when she dons her revealing, strategically ripped catsuit." |

The Center of the World (2001) |
"Thanks to Wang’s tidy, knowing direction, we are subject to some fresh, unsettling insights." |
Glenn Kenny |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Changing Times (2006) |
"The movie is burdened by several other, far-less compelling subplots that compete for our attention." |
Ethan Alter |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Chaos (2003) |
"Affecting, brilliantly acted French-language drama." |
Jessica Letkemann |
Splat 0/4 |
Chapter 27 (2008) |
"Visually ugly, morally non-existent and a complete black hole in the departments of insight and wit, Chapter 27 is quite possibly the most godawful, irredeemable film to yet emerge in the 21st century." |
Glenn Kenny |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005) |
"Begins with a bubble-gum bang, but leaves viewers gobstopped in the detached, thinly plotted half-pleasures of watching CGI mechanisms implode in a rainbow of fruit flavors." |
Aaron Hillis |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003) |
"Of course it’s gluttonous, frivolous, and disposable—who ever said amusement park rides had to be anything else?" |
Aaron Hillis |
Splat 0.5/4 |
Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle (2003) |
"If you want to see what $125 million worth of nothing looks like, Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle is the picture for you." |
Glenn Kenny |
Splat 1.5/4 |

Tomato 3/4 |
Cheaper by the Dozen (2003) |
"A combination of clever writing, top-notch comedic leads, winning performances from the youngest Bakers, and a genuine affection for old-fashioned (read: big and loud) families elevates Cheaper above the dreaded kid-movie dreck." |
Sara Brady |
Tomato |
Chicago (2002) |
"Chicago represents something of an artifact from a dark and dangerous era, reconstructed with lots of zest and little depth." |
Joe McGovern |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Chicago 10 (2008) |
"The material is incredibly compelling -- though trust me, it was even more compelling (and scary) as it was happening." |
Glenn Kenny |
Splat 2/4 |
Chicken Little (2005) |
"The cleverness just isn’t there." |
Ryan Devlin |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Children of Men (2006) |
"Cuaron's script, co-written with Timothy J. Sexton, is incredibly tight, Owen is palpably comfortable in Theodore's skin, and the issues of immigration and cultural ambivalence that the film centers on are more than compelling." |
Stephen Saito |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Chorus (2005) |
"It's basically just another watered-down version of Dead Poets Society and countless other inspirational-teacher films, but its emotional impact is undeniable." |
Peter Debruge |
Splat 1/4 |
Christmas with the Kranks (2004) |
"The type of grim holiday movie that reminds you of all that is noxious and insincere about the Christmas season and then chases it down with a sickly-sweet reversal." |

Chronicles of Riddick (2004) |

Cinderella Man (2005) |
"This biopic of Depression-era prizefighter James Braddock reunites Russell Crowe with his A Beautiful Mind director, Ron Howard, and screenwriter, Akiva Goldsman." |

A Cinderella Story (2004) |
"How would Cinderella meet her prince in a modern-day retelling? On the Internet, duh!" |
Susannah Gora |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Cinemania (2003) |
"These guys are eccentrics in the fondest sense of the word, and that alone makes their stories worth a movie or two." |
Peter Debruge |
Tomato 3/4 |
City of God (2003) |
"As disturbing as it is impressive." |
Jason Matloff |

Civic Duty (2007) |
