A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
|
"A Scanner Darkly is always interesting, but it's not always involving, and it's even less often entertaining." | |

3/4 |
|
A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
|
"For all of its underdeveloped potential and truncated subplots, there's still enough of value in A.I. to make it a captivating experience." | |
James Berardinelli | |

|
|
| |
1.5/4 |
|
Abandon (2002) |
|
"Comes across as exceedingly dumb, even when you consider that a lot of the rank stupidity is designed to facilitate the 'surprise' twist (ho-hum) that is telegraphed midway through the excruciatingly long 90-minute running time." | |
James Berardinelli | |
|
|
|

3/4 |
|
About a Boy (2002) |
|
"Using a stock plot, About a Boy injects just enough freshness into the proceedings to provide an enjoyable 100 minutes in a movie theater." | |

About Adam (2001) |

About Schmidt (2002) |
|
"On balance, I recommend the movie both for Nicholson's performance and for the opportunity to spend some time with the kind of man that we often meet in real life, but rarely see on screen." | |

Across the Universe (2007) |

"One could never argue that Across the Universe isn't ambitious. However, like many ambitious movies, this one fails spectacularly." | |

1.5/4 |

Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights (2002) |
|
"The only time 8 Crazy Nights comes close to hitting a comedic or satirical target is during the offbeat musical numbers." | |

3/4 |
|
Adaptation (2002) |
|
"I can't imagine Adaptation having much mainstream appeal, but, for those who look for something genuinely off-the-wall in a motion picture, this will unquestionably strike a nerve." | |

Addams Family Values (1993) |
