The Jacket (2005) |
"I appreciate the way the story is developed, taking audiences into The Twilight Zone, but not leaving them stranded there." |

Jagged Edge (1985) |
"Like many entries into the genre, Jagged Edge works best when it's watched with a minimum of analysis." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2/4 |
Jakob the Liar (1999) |
"Williams is seriously miscast, and his presence in the movie damages its credibility and effectiveness." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Jalsaghar (1958) |
"t's a fascinating snapshot of Indian culture in the 1930s, and a cautionary tale about the dangers of an inflated opinion of self-worth." |
James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3/4 |
James and the Giant Peach (1996) |
"This weird story has been transformed into a playful, visually arresting experience with more than a few allusions to The Wizard of Oz." |

The Jane Austen Book Club (2007) |
"The Jane Austen Book Club is an example of how a movie can follow the general plot of a book yet fail to capture the spirit." |

James Berardinelli |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Jarhead (2005) |
"Jarhead is compelling in the way it presents a new facet of a genre that some would argue was mined out long ago." |

James Berardinelli |
Tomato 4/4 |
Jaws (1975) |
"When it comes to this kind of thriller, no movie has been able to top Jaws, although many have tried. And, as the years go by, it seems increasingly unlikely that anything will come close." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001) |
"Uneven, and likely only to satisfy the Faithful. Others will find it sporadically amusing, but not worth the full price of admission." |

Jeepers Creepers (2001) |
"Salva (Powder), directing from his own screenplay, develops Jeepers Creepers in such a way that it offers plenty of shock scares as well as a gradually building sense of menace." |
James Berardinelli |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003) |

Jennifer's Body (2009) |
"If you're in search for a way to ogle Megan Fox's body, there are a lot better ways to do it than subjecting yourself to this." |

Jersey Girl (2004) |
"Maybe I would have been touched by this film if I had believed in the characters and their situations, but too much feels forced and scripted, the clear product of a writer's keyboard." |

Joe's Apartment (1996) |
"There's not enough story here for something half that length, so we're subjected to numerous pointless and irritating song-and-dance numbers designed to nudge the lame plot towards its conclusion." |
