The Namesake (2007) |
"Sweeping and intimate at once." |
Carla Meyer |
Splat 2/4 |
Nancy Drew (2007) |
"Nancy Drew grows too dark and intense in its final act, serving to underscore the picture's inconsistent tone." |
Carla Meyer |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Nanny McPhee (2006) |
"Lack of visual dazzle, combined with barely sympathetic child characters, keeps the film from enchanting as fully as it might have." |
Carla Meyer |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Narc (2002) |
"A truly great B movie." |
Joe Baltake |
Splat 2/4 |
NASCAR: The Imax Experience (2004) |
"An uneven combination of documentary and demolition drama." |
Bob Ehlert |
Tomato 3/4 |
National Geographic - Forces of Nature (2005) |
"This 50-minute tour of three of nature's great disasters will leave you shaken. Sometimes literally." |
Jim Carnes |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
National Treasure (2004) |

Neil Young - Greendale (2004) |
"On its own, the Greendale film is tough to navigate, especially for those who haven't heard the accompanying album or seen the Greendale concert." |
Chris Macias |
Tomato 3/4 |
Neil Young - Heart of Gold (2006) |
"Neil Young: Heart of Gold turns the traditional concert film into an exquisite, intimate experience." |
Chris Macias |
Tomato 4/4 |
Nelly and Monsieur Arnaud (1995) |
"Sautet avoids the pitfalls of the usual May-December romance by eschewing all the cliches." |

Never Again (2002) |
"In theory, a middle-aged romance pairing Clayburgh and Tambor sounds promising, but in practice it's something else altogether -- clownish and offensive and nothing at all like real life." |
Joe Baltake |
Splat 2/4 |
Never Die Alone (2004) |
"Never Die Alone has the allure of a bad traffic accident. You don't want to look at it, but for some reason you can't avert your eyes." |
Joe Baltake |
Splat |
New in Town (2009) |
"Whereas Bridget stands as the best Hollywood romantic comedy of the past decade, New in Town hovers somewhere near the middle of the subpar pack." |
Carla Meyer |
Tomato 3/4 |
New York Minute (2004) |
"The surprise is that it's the kind of larky entertainment that can make adults feel younger, rather than older, which is the effect that most films for teens have on their elders." |

The Next Best Thing (2000) |
"Yet another film of missed opportunities in which provocative ideas are destroyed -- in this case, by either the lame writing of Thomas Ropelewski or the timid direction of John Schlesinger, or possibly both." |
Joe Baltake |

Next Friday (1999) |
"It's vulgar and raggy, but also very funny." |

Nicholas Nickleby (2002) |
"Like its title character, this Nicholas Nickleby finds itself in reduced circumstances -- and, also like its hero, it remains brightly optimistic, coming through in the end." |

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009) |
"Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian throws everything -- history, high jinks, lots of famous faces in supporting roles -- at the museum walls to see what sticks. Happily, much of it does." |
Carla Meyer |
Splat 1/4 |
A Night at the Roxbury (1998) |
"Not the rock-bottom worst of the SNL skit-derived films, but pretty darn close..." |

Night Watch (2005) |
"Despite its epic framework, blaring rock music and record-breaking box office success in Russia, it's just another pedestrian vampire film." |
Carla Meyer |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Nights in Rodanthe (2008) |
"Even though their clinches aren't sexy, Gere and Lane still make an extremely attractive pair. They seem to fit together, whether dancing or just talking." |
Carla Meyer |
Tomato 4/4 |
Nights of Cabiria (1957) |
"A must-see item -- a sad, compassionate tale of street life that resonates with a magic missing from even our best summer films, whose only goal is to jar us." |

Nim's Island (2008) |
"Directed by Jennifer Flackett and Mark Levin, and adapted from a novel by Wendy Orr, Nim's Island offers a nice message for kids and grown-ups: Be the hero of your own story, whether confronting a volcano or 'borderline agoraphobia.'" |

Nixon (1995) |
"Rich, dense and complex." |

Tomato 4/4 |
No Country for Old Men (2007) |
"Filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen build and sustain tension so masterfully throughout this adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's novel that even trouble that's been telegraphed still shocks when it arrives." |

No Reservations (2007) |
"When aunt and niece eventually bond, the moment is truly affecting. But the length of time it takes to get there underscores how thin this story is." |

Norbit (2007) |
"Perhaps a release at this time is meant to capitalize on Murphy's artistic comeback. Instead, Norbit serves as a feature-length reminder of why he needed a comeback." |
Carla Meyer |
Tomato 3/4 |
North Country (2005) |
"Rewarding and sensitively rendered, the studio-produced North Country might revive a worthy subgenre last visited, in tarted-up fashion, by Erin Brockovich." |
Carla Meyer |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Northfork (2003) |
"This formidable work is for no one except those who are truly tired of formulaic movies and crave something completely different." |
Joe Baltake |
Splat |
Not Another Teen Movie (2001) |
"There simply isn't anything to say about it -- good or bad. Maybe that's because it isn't a movie at all, just a string of scenes." |
Joe Baltake |
Tomato 4/4 |
Not One Less (1999) |
"This alternately sad-funny film sneaks up on you. Its ability to grab us is surprising because it does so little, because it's so spare -- so unadorned and unpretentious." |
Joe Baltake |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Notebook (2004) |
"The movie may be highly disposable, but the individual scenes of Gosling and McAdams just acting and just connecting are wonderful to watch." |
Joe Baltake |
Tomato 3/4 |
Notes on a Scandal (2006) |
"The sheer force and fearlessness of Dench's performance is something to behold, as Barbara's deeply ingrained class and personal resentments mix with a discomfiting neediness." |
Carla Meyer |
Tomato 3/4 |
Nothing Like the Holidays (2008) |
"The umpteenth holiday-family-gathering film to hit theaters in the past few years, Nothing Like the Holidays distinguishes itself from the pack with fine acting." |
Carla Meyer |
Tomato 3/4 |
Notorious (2009) |
"The film might have been just another middling musical biopic had the lead role not been so perfectly cast." |
