A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
"Seriously flawed but provocative and fascinating nonetheless." |
Joe Baltake |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Abandon (2002) |
"[Gaghan] successfully illustrates that if a filmmaker is capable and intelligent -- and assumes that his audience is the same -- he can transcend the limitations of even so lowly a genre." |
Joe Baltake |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
About a Boy (2002) |
"About a Boy vividly recalls the Cary Grant of Room for One More, Houseboat and Father Goose in its affectionate depiction of the gentle war between a reluctant, irresponsible man and the kid who latches onto him." |
Joe Baltake |
Tomato 3/4 |
About Schmidt (2002) |
"I liked About Schmidt a lot, but I have a feeling that I would have liked it much more if Harry & Tonto never existed." |

Adventureland (2009) |
"Filled with likable actors and 1980s pop songs, Adventureland ambles, entertains and … ends … without ever trying to be more than a tribute to odd jobs, unlikely friends and hanging out." |

Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl in 3-D (2005) |

Against the Ropes (2003) |
"One of those infamous 'based on a true story' movies in which just about everything is a lie." |

Alex and Emma (2003) |
"This seriously dull romantic comedy -- an anti-romantic comedy, to be more accurate -- is something of a chore to sit through, with its biggest laugh coming even before its story kicks in." |
Joe Baltake |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Alexander (2004) |
"Ultimately stumbles and falls, much like the horses in the battle scenes. But it is an interesting failure, always brimming with life." |
Joe Baltake |
Tomato 3/4 |
Alfie (2004) |
"It lacks the harsh, biting punch of its memorable 1966 predecessor. And perhaps there was no other way to do it." |
Joe Baltake |
Tomato |
Ali (2001) |
"Even though Smith is nothing at all like Ali in either looks or temperament, the young actor has obsessively willed himself to become Muhammad Ali." |

All About Eve (1950) |

All or Nothing (2002) |
"It is almost impossible to sludge through this tiny morality tale and not recognize bad habits, small and familiar, that we all share -- and also take for granted." |
Joe Baltake |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
All Over Me (1997) |
"Alex and Sylvia Sichel have taken a familiar coming-of-age story, something that might work as an Afterschool Special, and given it the contour, grit and white-hot energy of something much more." |
Joe Baltake |
Tomato |
All Over the Guy (2001) |
"As one predictable scene follows another, it becomes progressively more likable and more watchable." |
Joe Baltake |
Splat 2/4 |
All The King's Men (2006) |
"All the King's Men doesn't reveal anything new about the ins and outs of politics, even as it insists, via showy visuals and James Horner's sledgehammer score, that it is revelatory." |
Carla Meyer |

All the Pretty Horses (2000) |

Almost Famous (2000) |

Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007) |
"The film engages for about 30 minutes, or about 10 minutes longer than you might expect. This picture, after all, has only one idea: chipmunks that talk and sing. It's the same idea that fueled novelty recordings and a two cartoon series." |
