Y Tu Mama Tambien (2002) |

The Year My Parents Went On Vacation (2008) |
"...you can understand why Brazil proudly offered the film for Oscar consideration." |

Year of the Dog (2007) |
"This decidedly odd little character study is always engrossing because we're never sure what Peggy will do next and Shannon plays her as a mouse who dares to roar." |

Year of the Dog (2007) |
"Anybody who has lost a cherished pet will feel Peggy's pain. Her subsequent, over-the-top obsession and the changes it entails in her life is the meat and potatoes..." |

The Year of the Yao (2005) |
"...while their subject is amiably charismatic, the filmmakers fail to fully get beneath his skin. Still...it's a sports documentary that can be enjoyed by anyone..." |

The Year of the Yao (2005) |
"The excitement on the court and the banter and good-natured ribbing in the locker room is handled by the book by the behind the camera crew." |

Year One (2009) |
"Harold Ramis...serves up some low brow humor in a fitful script, but his film is elevated into the ranks of pleasurably stupid humor by terrific comic turns from Cera and a game Oliver Platt" |

Yes (2005) |
"This is art house fare and for those who intrigued by the idea of poetry as dialogue. I'm not intrigued and I give it a C." |

Yes Man (2008) |
"...when [Carrey's] on, orchestrating a fall like Rube Goldberg, taping up his face or hyper-monologuing his way through a soliloquy on Red Bull, he's a comic treat." |

The Yes Men (2004) |
"The sheer chutzpah that Andy and Mike...exhibit as they make their outrageous statements is a pleasure for the anarchist inside me." |

Yi Yi (2000) |
"The story, while playing like a soap opera on the surface, is chock full of wry human observations while showing great affection for its characters." |

Yi Yi (2000) |

Yoo-hoo, Mrs. Goldberg (2009) |
"Kempner leaves no stone unturned in giving layers of dimension to Gertrude Berg, who could almost be described as the Eisenstein of sitcom television production...one of the best documentaries of the year in a year crowded with them." |
Laura Clifford |
Tomato A |
Yoo-hoo, Mrs. Goldberg (2009) |
"That Gertrude Berg does not hold a prominent place in American TV history is a shame. I hope [Aviva] Kempner's fine examination of the unknown celebrity corrects that." |

Yossi & Jagger (2003) |
"Even as it delves into deeper subjects, Yossi & Jagger's charismatic costars make its central love story alone a memorable experience.

Yossi & Jagger (2003) |
"Director Eytan Fox shows a skilled hand, with the help of his actors, in creating a film that may have an international appeal with the gay community and beyond." |

You Can Count on Me (2000) |

You Don't Mess With The Zohan (2008) |
"With the talented eye of an experienced editor from outside the Happy Madison circle, "You Don't Mess with the Zohan" might have actually been good." |

You Look So Handsome (2005) |
"...a little movie writ larger by its stars and director Mergault shows talent for taking a shallow plot and giving it substantial shadings." |

You Look So Handsome (2005) |
"...a pleasant, lyrical little film that is satisfying from start to finish." |

You've Got Mail (1998) |
"You've Got Mail is not as saccharine as I expected, but the sugar-coated love story offers us nothing new or original." |

You, Me and Dupree (2006) |
"I can't imagine many beside Wilson pulling off a line about an Audrey Hepburn sex fantasy involving butter and having it come off as adoring and respectful.

The Young Victoria (2009) |
"Blunt is appealingly inexperienced but shrewd in the title role and once Rupert Friend becomes firmly entrenched in the action the film seems to find itself." |

The Young Victoria (2009) |
"Production is nicely detailed, from lensing to costume, makeup and set design and make the history lesson one that you will not mind learning." |

Young@Heart (2008) |
"...such a hilarious, moving and uplifting piece of work the only thing left to do after seeing it is to start campaigning the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences's documentary arm to change their rules..." |

Youth Without Youth (2007) |
"Youth Without Youth, scripted by the helmer from the Mircea Eliade's novella, is a sometimes painful to watch tome that only accentuates the lack of Coppola's past greatness." |

Yves Saint Laurent: Empire Collection (2002) |
"Long takes and St. Laurent's deep calm have a meditative effect ... when all is said and done the high prices of couture are understood." |
