D.E.B.S. (2005) |
"Works perfectly well as a 10-minute short film (with four of those minutes consumed by the opening and closing credits), but flunks out as a 91-minute feature." |
Peter Debruge |
Splat 2/4 |
The Da Vinci Code (2006) |
"It fells a little silly to watch movie stars like Tom Hanks make gee whiz, awestruck pronouncements about the bloodline of Jesus Christ out loud." |
Jessica Letkemann |
Splat 2/4 |
Daddy Day Care (2003) |
"Daddy Day Care is a kid flick that's been kitted out with a lot of grown-up smart-assness—the better to broaden its appeal to audiences who weren't born in the '90s." |
Susannah Gora |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Daddy's Little Girls (2007) |
"Tyler Perry's latest conspicuously lacks his drag clad alter ego Madea %u2014 the star of his earlier hits Diary of a Mad Black Woman and Madea's Family Reunion %u2014 but it manages to be a drag nonetheless." |

The Dancer Upstairs (2003) |
". . . this is a thriller that means to get under your skin rather than make you leap from your seat." |
Glenn Kenny |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Dancer Upstairs (2003) |
"Malkovich is more interested in hitting notes of elegiac lyricism than delivering socko action; this is a thriller that means to get under your skin rather than make you leap from your seat." |

Danny Deckchair (2004) |
"In Balsmeyer's hands, Danny's story comes to seem every bit as awkward as the character himself, and the movie, like the balloon ride that inspired it, ultimately falls flat." |
Peter Debruge |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Dans Paris (2007) |
"There's something breathtaking about this melodically melancholic homage to the French New Wave and the City of Lights herself ... as modernly poignant as it is retro-seductive." |

Dawn of the Dead (2004) |
"Not bad for a movie as disposable as the popcorn it helps spill on theater floors." |
Aaron Hillis |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Day After Tomorrow (2004) |
"...the most gratifying entertainment in Emmerich’s mass-marketed filmography, even if...the feel-good finale is more cloying than a second set of Olsen twins." |
Aaron Hillis |
Tomato 4/4 |
Dazed and Confused (1993) |
"The backbone to it all is the ritual torch-passing that allowed incoming seniors to abuse poor freshmen, an alarmingly frank touch that avoids the one-sided sentimentality of an American Graffiti-style pastiche." |
Aaron Hillis |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
De-Lovely (2004) |
"The musical interludes, albeit entertaining, yank the viewer out of the early 20th century. Had the film stayed in its own time, it would have been more de-lovely." |
Laine Ewen |

De-Lovely (2004) |
"This musical bio of Cole Porter looks at the songwriter’s loving and unorthodox relationship with his wife, Linda—meaning it doesn’t shy away from his homosexual affairs." |
Susannah Gora |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Dead Girl (2006) |
"Each story could be its own full-length movie, and each is shot with a different style and feel." |
Jennifer Miller |
Splat |
Dead or Alive: Final (2002) |
"The film seems all but destined to pop up on a television screen in the background of a scene in a future Quentin Tarantino picture" |
Jason Clark |
Splat 1.5/5 |
Dead Silence (2007) |
"While one might wish to commend Wan and company for making a horror pic that's less reliant on gore and gross sadism than the ones that they're normally associated are, what they're serving up as an alternative really lacks." |
Glenn Kenny |
Tomato 4/4 |
Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father (2008) |
"The phrase labor of love is so often tossed about, but Kurt Kuenne's emotionally wrenching documentary is absolutely that." |
Jennifer Miller |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Death at a Funeral (2007) |
"Oz keeps all these balls in the air pretty deftly, and the cast tears into it. What gums things up is Craig's script." |
Glenn Kenny |
Splat 2/4 |
Death of a President (2006) |
"While it's far from the terrorist-training video that right-wing watchdogs are accusing it of being, it's not a particularly enlightening exercise either." |
Ethan Alter |

The Death of Mr. Lazarescu (2006) |
"[A] magnificently damning critique on healthcare... done with a devil's sense of humor that then calls you out on your laughter." |
Aaron Hillis |

Death to Smoochy (2002) |
"The working environment of the shoot may have been buoyant, but as DeVito points out, the film at times is anything but." |
|
Tomato 3/4 |
Deja Vu (2006) |
"While Déjà Vu is appropriately titled, it's also an enjoyable mystery that ranks with the producer's [Jerry Bruckheimer] best." |

Deliver Us From Eva (2003) |
"[LL Cool J] delivers an immensely pleasing, touching performance." |
Susannah Gora |
Splat 1/5 |
Delta Farce (2007) |
"As morale boosters go, Larry the Cable Guy is no Bob Hope, and it's hard to reconcile the contradiction of an overtly tasteless movie that doesn't want to offend the troops." |
Peter Debruge |
Tomato 4/4 |
Demonlover (2003) |
"Early on, writer-director Olivier Assayas latest effort could be mistaken for a hipper-than-thou thriller. But it isn’t—it’s in fact a difficult, challenging, and troubling art film." |
Glenn Kenny |
Tomato 4/4 |
The Departed (2006) |
"The Departed ends up the most affectingly bleak movie Scorsese's made since Taxi Driver." |
Glenn Kenny |

Derailed (2005) |
"All of Owen's problems would go away if he just went to the police." |
Peter Debruge |

The Descent (2006) |
"A clever blend of psychological thrills and stalked-by-monster terror is what makes writer-director Neil Marshall's sophomore effort a cut above most horror films." |

Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo (2005) |
"Plays like a second-rate Mad Magazine racing through a version of The Aristocrats as if its crap punchline was actually the prize." |
Aaron Hillis |

Deuces Wild (2002) |
"Martin Scorsese, presumably reluctant to miss out on any film involving gangs and New York, executive-produces." |
|
Tomato 3/4 |
The Devil and Daniel Johnston (2006) |
"Like many documentaries about artists battling demons, it doesn't offer enough framework to suggest why anyone should care, but the fragile beauty and borderline exploitation of Johnston's character are made tangible..." |
Aaron Hillis |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Devil and Daniel Johnston (2006) |
"Feuerzeig tells the story of Johnston's journey from artistically inspired but domestically and socially challenged teen to singer-songwriter to full-blown manic depressive with a great deal of resourcefulness and wit." |
Glenn Kenny |
Splat 2/4 |
The Devil Wears Prada (2006) |
"The only thing super about this commonplace, boss-from-hell comedy is its couture and fluffiness, but at least it flies at a quicker clip than the Kryptonian überman's insipid return this week. Are capes in this season?" |
Aaron Hillis |
Tomato |
Devils On The Doorstep (2000) |
"Rich in shadowy metaphor and as sharp as a samurai sword, Jiang Wen's Devils on the Doorstep is a wartime farce in the alternately comic and gut-wrenching style of Joseph Heller or Kurt Vonnegut." |
Joe McGovern |
Tomato 5/5 |
Diary of a Chambermaid (1964) |
"A riveting, if not minor, Bunuelian masterwork." |
Aaron Hillis |
Splat 2/4 |
Die Another Day (2002) |
"The results are often leaden and even campy." |
Fred Schruers |
Tomato 4/5 |
Die Another Day (2002) |
"The extras are so in-depth and up-front that they play like moviemaking history rather than promotional hype, which is exactly as it should be." |
Glenn Kenny |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Die Hard 4: Live Free or Die Hard (2007) |
"Like McClane himself, this is an analog movie in a digital world -- proudly outdated, yet guaranteed to get the job done." |
Aaron Hillis |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
DIG! (2004) |
"...an entertaining after-party’s worth of posturing musicians and wild debauchery that is utterly forgettable the morning after." |
Aaron Hillis |
Splat 2/4 |
Diggers (2007) |
"When you reach the end of the film, you may find yourself wondering whether these minor pleasures amount to anything more substantial and the sad reality is that they really don't." |
Ethan Alter |
