The Cable Guy (1996) |
"Basically, it's not a whole lot of fun. There's no one to identify with -- Carrey's Cable Guy is a stalker, and Matthew Broderick's Steven is bland to the point of near-invisibility." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Caché (2005) |
"While Caché offers food for thought, the last third is muddled." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Cadillac Records (2008) |
"Cadillac Records exists mainly as a holiday throw-away for those with a deep and abiding love for the kind of music it showcases." |

Camera Buff (1979) |
"While Camera Buff lacks some of the artistry evident in the director's later projects, it's worth seeing not only as an example of Kieslowski's early work, but as an important film in its own right." |

Can't Hardly Wait (1998) |
"The title seems unexpectedly appropriate, as it accurately summed up my feelings about sitting in the theater and anticipating the arrival of the end credits -- I couldn't hardly wait." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3/4 |
Candy (2006) |
"Despite being well made and supremely acted, Candy is a true feel-bad experience." |

Capitalism: A Love Story (2009) |
"There's a simmering anger here that hasn't been present since Moore first burst upon the cinematic world with Roger and Me." |

Capote (2005) |
"[Capote] will demand recognition at next year's Oscars." |

Captain Corelli's Mandolin (2001) |
"Captain Corelli's Mandolin will find favor with nearly everyone who appreciates this kind of motion picture." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 0/4 |
Captivity (2007) |
"Rarely have I found myself so uncomfortable viewing anything over such an extended period of time. There's nothing redeemable here. It's not tense or scary; it's just demented." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Capturing the Friedmans (2003) |
"In the end, while Jarecki may not be able to answer our most basic questions about the guilt or innocence of the Friedmans, he makes a profound statement that, in situations like this, no one can be completely innocent and everyone is a victim." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Caramel (2008) |
"It's refreshing for a romantic comedy not to follow the formula by rote. I only wish I could be as enthusiastic about the amount of screen time accorded to certain characters who are more tedious than endearing." |

Carrie (1976) |
"There is little suspense or dramatic tension; everything plays out like bad melodrama or cheap exploitation." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Carried Away (1996) |
"Carried Away is erotic, but it's also thoughtful and intelligent, and, coupled with Hopper's extraordinary performance, that's reason enough to be carried away by this motion picture." |

Cars (2006) |
"While Cars may cross the finish line ahead of any of 2006's other animated films, it's several laps behind its Pixar siblings." |

Casa de los Babys (2003) |
"Admittedly, mediocre Sayles is still watchable, but, relative to expectations, Casa de los Babys is a disappointment of significant proportions." |

Casablanca (1942) |
"The greatest pleasure anyone can derive from this movie comes through simply watching it." |

Casanova (2005) |
"It's worth noting that producing a farce in a way that's funny is a lost art, and director Lasse Hallström hasn't found it." |

Cashback (2007) |
"Cashback is light, smart, and enjoyable, and it makes me eager to see what Ellis has planned for his next outing." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Casino (1995) |
"In every way -- from the fantastic sets, rich dialogue, and unapologetic violence to the well-portrayed characters and themes of loyalty and betrayal -- Casino is pure Scorsese." |

Casino Royale (1967) |

Casper (1995) |
"Without the talent of Ricci, Casper would have been a truly barren motion picture. As it is, it's still not very good." |

Cassandra's Dream (2008) |
"With Cassandra's Dream, we may finally be seeing confirmation of what many have suspected for years: that Woody Allen's period of greatness as a filmmaker is over." |

Tomato 4/4 |
Cast Away (2000) |

Catch a Fire (2006) |
"It's possible to see a deeper level to what's on screen but, regardless of whether or not a viewer chooses to engage the film in that way, it's an effective piece of cinema." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2/4 |
Catch and Release (2007) |
"Despite possessing a few effective and affecting scenes, Catch and Release is a mess and the methods it uses to bring closure to its diverse storylines feel trite and contrived." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3/4 |
Catch Me If You Can (2002) |
"Never takes itself or its subjects too seriously, and contains more genuinely funny material than about 90% of the so-called 'comedies' found in multiplexes these days." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2/4 |
Cats & Dogs (2001) |
"At its best, Cats and Dogs is a series of missed opportunities that represents adequate entertainment for the age 5-9 crowd. At its worst, this is another example of why so many PG-rated films fail at the box office." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 1/4 |
Catwoman (2004) |
"Despite its feline pretensions, Catwoman belongs to another animal family -- it's either a dog or a turkey. Take your pick." |

"This 'thriller' is more likely to lull viewers to sleep than to keep them on the edges of their seats." |
James Berardinelli |

CB4 (1993) |
"As a series of ocasionally-amusing vignettes, CB4 is is fitfully entertaining. However, when everything is tied together into a cohesive whole, this movie is a colossal mess." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Cecil B. Demented (2000) |
"As a satire, Cecil B. Demented is uninspired, and, as a motion picture, it's unfunny, charmless, and amateurish." |
