"The movie lacks an Act 3." |

American Splendor (2003) |
"Directors Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini have created a masterpiece of altered realities, blending in elements of film drama and comedy, the documentary and even comic books." |

American Wedding (2003) |
"It won't disappoint the many fans, but it won't win converts either." |

Tomato 10/10 |
Amistad (1997) |
"Steven Spielberg's Amistad is a potent, finely crafted drama that explores -- better than any film to date -- the injustices and horror of slavery and the seeds of American civil rights legislation." |
Jack Garner |

Analyze That (2002) |
"Analyze That isn't one of those rare sequels that truly expands a story or stretches a character. It's merely a second helping for filmgoers who want more of the same." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 8/10 |
Analyze This (1998) |
"Genuinely funny!" |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 7/10 |
Anastasia (1997) |
" The Mouse still rules the world of animation. But if he looks over his shoulder, he'll see a Fox gaining on him." |
Jack Garner |
Splat 5/10 |
Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera (2004) |
"If you join me in thinking Webber's Phantom is the most overblown, overrated musical ever, a lopsided victory of style over substance, you'll feel that way about Schumacher's film, because he's loyal to a fault to Webber's rose-tinted vision." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 6/10 |
Andy Goldsworthy - Rivers and Tides: Working With Time (2003) |
"If you're going to see Rivers and Tides, don't think of it as going to the movies. Think of it as a visit to an art gallery." |

Angel Eyes (2001) |
"The most notable performance to date from an actress whose hype has heretofore outstretched her work." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 9/10 |
Angela's Ashes (1999) |
"Emily Watson and Robert Carlyle are the near-perfect embodiment of McCourt's troubled parents." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 8/10 |
Anger Management (2003) |
"Sandler continues to demonstrate a skill at quietly vulnerable characters that are far more appealing -- and amusing -- than his earlier menagerie of wacked-out losers." |
Jack Garner |
Splat 6/10 |
Anna and the King (1999) |
"Beyond the potentially intriguing casting, the filmmakers have too obviously stretched the plot to justify a new interpretation." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 8/10 |

Antwone Fisher (2002) |

Antz (1998) |
"Antz is a dazzling, witty tale that will appeal to children and adults alike." |
Jack Garner |
Splat 4/10 |
Any Given Sunday (1999) |
"Stone makes the mistake of heightening the already over-the-top phenomenon of pro football. It's a shame, because inside Stone's overly aggressive style and inflated running time, a good two-hour movie is struggling to breathe free." |
Jack Garner |
Splat 6/10 |
Anything Else (2003) |
"[Ricci] doesn't seem to have a clue how to play one of Allen's typically neurotic New York women." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 8/10 |
Anywhere But Here (1999) |
"It's poignant and funny, a richly entertaining drama that's just sentimental enough." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 10/10 |
Apocalypse Now (1979) |
"It is more clear than ever that Coppola and company created a profound metaphor for the entire Vietnam experience -- but were ahead of their time." |
Jack Garner |

Apocalypse Now Redux (2001) |
"A magnificent new edition of the Coppola film." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 9/10 |
Apocalypto (2006) |

Apt Pupil (1998) |
"If Bowden's motivations were clearer, Apt Pupil might have gone somewhere interesting." |
Jack Garner |
Splat 4/10 |
Are We Done Yet? (2007) |
"Are We Done Yet? One can only hope. (Sorry, but when a critic dislikes a film, and is handed a title like Are We Done Yet? he has to answer the call.)" |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 6/10 |
Arlington Road (1999) |
"Arlington Road is a moderately engaging suspense film." |

Armageddon (1998) |

Art School Confidential (2006) |
"This tale of a naïve young student who is thrown to the arrogant wolves at an art school comes off as both insecure and insincere. I often didn't believe it, and I wasn't sure the creators really believed it either." |

Arthur and the Invisibles (2007) |
"The film jumps and starts all over the place and simply isn't cohesive enough to appeal much beyond youngsters." |

Tomato 10/10 |
As Good as It Gets (1997) |
"You'll be reminded of why Nicholson became one of the biggest stars of his generation." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 7/10 |
Ask the Dust (2005) |
"Ask the Dust has occasional lapses in energy, sagging noticeably about the two-thirds mark. Still, it rallies in the final reel, generating enough emotion to move filmgoers." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 7/10 |
The Assassination of Richard Nixon (2004) |
"Penn delivers another of the incisive and riveting performances we've come to expect from one of our greatest actors." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 7/10 |
Assault on Precinct 13 (2005) |
"A gritty, violent, fast-paced action film, bolstered by a more appealing and experienced cast than is usually found in such movies." |
Jack Garner |
Tomato 7/10 |
The Astronaut Farmer (2007) |
"Sometimes a movie is so amiable and well-intentioned, you're willing to let implausibility slide by. I overheard a filmgoer say after the preview screening, 'It's not often enough that you leave a film with a smile on your face.'" |

Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997) |
"While that brand of humor is simplistic, Myers manages to make much of it surprisingly funny." |

"I laughed like a fool!" |
Jack Garner |
