'Til There Was You (1997) |
"The payoff, such as it is, is distressingly anticlimactic, and results in frustration." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3/4 |
10 Items or Less (2006) |
"Ten Items or Less is not landmark cinema nor is it deeply thought-provoking, but it's smart, funny, knowledgeable about life and people, and a crowd-pleaser." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3/4 |
10 Things I Hate About You (1999) |
"No one in this film is a big star, but everyone is a capable actor." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 1.5/4 |
10,000 B.C. (2008) |
"10,000 B.C. isn't only brain-dead, it's completely dead. It's inert and without a heartbeat." |

12 and Holding (2006) |
"They are believable 12-year olds: intelligent (but not too intelligent) yet naïve, and trying with mixed success to navigate the path of adolescence." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
12 Monkeys (1995) |
"A consistently engaging motion picture." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 1/4 |
12 Rounds (2009) |
"12 Rounds is the unholy stepchild of Die Hard with a Vengeance and Speed, starring a man whose lack of range makes Steven Seagal seem nuanced by comparison." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3/4 |
13 Going on 30 (2004) |
"The movie may not be as good, uplifting, or perceptive as Big, but it's one of the better teen girl-themed films of the year, and can be enjoyed by viewers of either gender in any age group." |
James Berardinelli |

1408 (2007) |
"It reminds us what it's like to be scared in a theater rather than overwhelmed by buckets of blood and gore." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3/4 |
15 Minutes (2001) |
"It doesn't feel like a cookie-cutter cop thriller, and, on top of that, it's actually about something." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2/4 |
16 Blocks (2006) |
"Despite occasional bursts of suspense, the movie as a whole plays out as a long 95 minutes, with its lack of inventiveness leading us more frequently into tediousness than tension." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2/4 |
17 Again (2009) |
"The filmmakers don't give their viewers credit for a minimum level of observation and, as a result, have produced a sloppy, lazy motion picture." |

2 Days In Paris (2007) |
"It's uncomfortable to take a negative stance against something that is so plainly a labor of love. But the sad truth is that the movie doesn't offer enough to make it interesting or even diverting." |

20 Dates (1998) |
"Berkowitz went to great trouble to stage, edit, and control certain aspects of his film so that it has a formulaic dramatic structure; one wonders why he didn't make the effort to present himself as a likable human being." |
James Berardinelli |

21 (2008) |
"While I'm firm believer in the adage 'Never let the truth get in the way of a good story,' 21 doesn't spin a good enough yarn to justify all the changes." |

"300 may not offer masterful storytelling in a conventional sense, but it's hard to beat as a spectacle and that makes it worthwhile viewing for all but the most squeamish of potential audience members." |
