Splat 2.5/4 |
D.E.B.S. (2005) |
"A prime example of a dispiriting trend: movies whose primary point of reference is other movies." |

Splat 2/4 |
The Da Vinci Code (2006) |
"The truth is that The Da Vinci Code is a pretty-good-but-who-cares effort, a moderately interesting diversion that will hold audiences in the moment but leave them unmoved and unchanged." |
Mick LaSalle |
Splat 1/4 |
Daddy Day Camp (2007) |
"It's a bit sad to see this talented, Oscar-winning actor reduced to taking Murphy's cast-off parts, but Gooding does fine with what the movie gives him." |
Will Crain |
Tomato 3/4 |
Daddy Day Care (2003) |
"A harmless and amusing summer comedy." |
C.W. Nevius |
Splat 2/4 |
Daddy's Little Girls (2007) |
"Given his built-in appeal, Perry has the opportunity to broaden the subject matter of so-called black movies. He takes a stab at it in Girls, but he could do so much better." |
Ruthe Stein |
Tomato 2/4 |
Dahmer (2002) |
"The movie should be credited with remembering his victims." |
Carla Meyer |
Splat 2/4 |
Dalton Trumbo's Johnny Got His Gun (2008) |
"Whether or not you agree with the pacifist message, the presentation is often overwrought and maudlin." |
Walter V. Addiego |
Tomato 4/4 |
The Damned United (2009) |
"Like a tense World Cup match, there's a lack of scoring, but it is still riveting." |
Peter Hartlaub |
Tomato 4/4 |
Dan in Real Life (2007) |
"Dan in Real Life fires on so many circuits that at times it's actually shocking how good it is. It tells a funny and emotional story without any of the sentimental shorthand found in most romantic comedies." |
Mick LaSalle |
Splat 1/4 |
Dance Flick (2009) |
"Dance Flick is a movie that will make you yearn for the subtle humor and profound character exploration of White Chicks." |

Dancer in the Dark (1999) |
"It's great to see a movie so courageous and affecting, so committed to its own differentness." |
Edward Guthmann |
Tomato 2/4 |
The Dancer Upstairs (2003) |
"An adult piece of work, made up mainly of quiet, emotional scenes and detailed performances." |

The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys (2002) |
"Foster and newcomer Hirsch are the best things in Dangerous Lives, a touching but odd mix of live action and animation." |
Carla Meyer |
Tomato 3/4 |
Dangerous Minds (1995) |
"What makes it work is the integrity of Pfeiffer's performance and Smith's direction, and the high spirits of the young, racially diverse supporting cast." |
Edward Guthmann |
Tomato 2/4 |
Danny Deckchair (2004) |
"You'll probably forget Danny Deckchair a few minutes after leaving the theater, but it passes the time well enough while you're there." |

Daredevil (2003) |
"One of the biggest misfires in its genre since Godzilla." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Darfur Now (2007) |
"At 99 minutes, the documentary presents a quick but thorough lesson." |
Peter Hartlaub |
Splat 2/4 |
The Darjeeling Limited (2007) |
"A frustrating movie, a work of immaturity from a director who should be past the empty gestures and self-protective distance of his early work." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
Dark Blue (2003) |
"While Dark Blue may not be easy to watch, it's exceptionally well made." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 2/4 |
Dark Blue World (2001) |
"The memorable stars ... are the Spitfires and Messerschmitts in its aerial battles -- a crackerjack combination of live action, special effects and recycled footage." |
Bob Graham |
Tomato 2/4 |
Dark City (1998) |
"It is among the most memorable cinematic ventures in recent years." |

The Dark Knight (2008) |
"Christopher Nolan wanted to make an action movie that was different from other action movies -- darker, more twisted, more despairing, more bleak -- and he has mostly succeeded in this latest Batman installment. He can thank Ledger for a lot of that." |
Mick LaSalle |
Splat 1/4 |
Dark Matter (2008) |
"There is nothing wrong with taking inspiration from actual events, but it's a tricky business, and Dark Matter does no one right by sticking to the shocking conclusion." |

Dark Water (2005) |
"It's not bad, horrible or embarrassing; it just doesn't completely add up or send people out feeling like they've seen something special." |
Mick LaSalle |
Splat 0/4 |
Darkness (2003) |
"It's unoriginal, frequently incomprehensible and cheaply made, and moviegoers should avoid theaters that show this film just to eliminate the chance of walking in accidentally." |
Peter Hartlaub |
Splat 1/4 |
Darkness Falls (2003) |
"Announcing her presence with a phlegmy wheeze, the Fairy strikes swiftly and sometimes even scarily, thanks to Stan Winston's ace special effects. But the movie's premise ... telegraphs her appearances and eliminates suspense." |
Carla Meyer |
Splat 2/4 |
Darshan - the Embrace (2006) |
"A loose and often not-so-engrossing assortment of scenes intended to showcase Amma's hold on her followers." |
John McMurtrie |
Splat 2/4 |
The Darwin Awards (2006) |
"The humor dissipates as we watch one weird death after another." |
Ruthe Stein |
Tomato 3/4 |
Darwin's Nightmare (2006) |
"Sauper's documentary is meant to reveal first-hand the devastating effects of globalization -- at least, an irresponsible form of it -- on a poor, foreign culture, and for the most part it succeeds." |
G. Allen Johnson |
Tomato |
Das Boot (1982) |
"Suspenseful when it needs to be and intelligent in its depiction of the horrors of war and the sweaty claustrophobia of submarine life. On occasion, it's even -- pardon the pun -- deep." |
Edward Guthmann |
Splat |
Date Movie (2006) |
"A lame pastiche of Hollywood romances." |
Ruthe Stein |
Tomato 3/4 |
Dave Chappelle's Block Party (2006) |
"A return to rowdy form." |
Peter Hartlaub |
Splat 2/4 |
David & Layla (2008) |
"Jay Jonroy, who wrote and directed David & Layla, has come up with some potentially funny material that doesn't quite work." |
Ruthe Stein |
Tomato 3/4 |
Dawn of the Dead (2004) |
"It's silly, witty and good-natured, not scary so much as icky, and not horrifying or horrible but consistently amusing." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Day After Tomorrow (2004) |
"The Day After Tomorrow isn't satisfying in every way, but in the ways that really matter, it's one superior disaster movie." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato |
The Day I Became A Woman (2001) |
"Each of [Meshkini's] stories has the timeless quality of a fable, and each has wisdom and a quiet, stoic sense of defiance in the face of patriarchal tradition." |

Day Watch (2007) |
"Bekmambetov and his crafty cinematographer Sergei Trofimov have so many different tricks that you'll be smiling at the scenes that make no sense." |
