Race to Witch Mountain (2009) |
"Wow, when Disney misses the 'reimagining' mark, it really misses." |
Justin Berton |
Splat 2/4 |
Rachel Getting Married (2008) |
"Hollywood should make more movies like Rachel Getting Married, but with a little more humility and a proper sense of timing." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 2/4 |
Racing Stripes (2005) |
"Offers enjoyable moments." |
Carla Meyer |
Splat 2/4 |
Radio (2003) |
"Cuba Gooding Jr. falls victim to the Nell syndrome, in which a vibrant, loquacious actor decides that the road to an Oscar nomination is to wear a slack expression and a set of Nutty Professor teeth." |
Mick LaSalle |

Rails & Ties (2007) |
"One highly unlikely circumstance after another become laughable, preventing you from being moved by the family tragedies depicted. They beg for tears, but a script this chock-full of holes is unlikely to elicit the desired effect." |
Ruthe Stein |
Tomato 3/4 |
Rain (2002) |
"Jeffs creates a lush atmosphere of desire and approaching chaos, and delivers a bona fide shocker in the last reel." |

Raise Your Voice (2004) |
"It's particularly good at capturing that time of life when you simultaneously believe everything is possible and that each tiny misstep is the end of the world." |
Ruthe Stein |
Splat 2/4 |
Raising Helen (2004) |
"Far from the worst cookie-cutter film to come off the Hollywood assembly line, merely the latest." |
Ruthe Stein |
Tomato 3/4 |
Raising Victor Vargas (2003) |
"A gritty but sweet look at young love and family dynamics." |

Ram Dass Fierce Grace (2002) |
"A generous, inspiring film that unfolds with grace and humor and gradually becomes a testament to faith." |
Edward Guthmann |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Rambo (2008) |
"This violence contains a movie, but only intermittently." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 4/4 |
Ran (1985) |
"List any element -- from concept through cinematography, battle action, editing, acting, sound, music, costumes or whatever, right down to makeup -- and Kurosawa's commitment is total." |
Bob Graham |
Tomato 4/4 |
Rana's Wedding (2002) |
"A bittersweet film that tells the story of Palestinian life as eloquently as anything ever done." |
Jonathan Curiel |
Splat 1/4 |
Random Hearts (1999) |
"There's nothing new here, just the same plot, the same romantic pattern that we keep seeing over and over." |
Edward Guthmann |
Splat 2/4 |
Rang De Basanti (2006) |
"The simple-minded presentation ultimately makes it ring hollow." |

Rap Dreams (2006) |
"If you enter the theater expecting a lot of drama, you'll be disappointed. But once you settle in, the often tedious inner workings of the rap game also house some unexpected surprises and touching moments." |
Peter Hartlaub |
Tomato 4/4 |
Rat Race (2001) |
"The funniest film to come along since South Park." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 4/4 |
Ratatouille (2007) |
"Ratatouille never overwhelms, even though it's stocked with action, romance, historical content, family drama and serious statements about the creation of art." |

Ray (2004) |
"It takes all of five seconds, tops, to believe that Jamie Foxx is the young Ray Charles." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 4/4 |
Read My Lips (2002) |
"Read My Lips is not a heist film, a thriller, a twisted romance, a film noir or a character study, but a unique concoction that bends all these genres to its vision." |
Mick LaSalle |
Splat 2/4 |
The Reader (2008) |
"A film made with high aspirations and more than the usual commitment but one that, after an arresting beginning, changes into a passive rumination." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 4/4 |
Ready to Rumble (2000) |
"Isn't worth the price of admission, even for wrestling fans." |

The Real Cancun (2003) |
"There's a case to be made for The Real Cancun as a document of the mating dance as well as an unintentionally poignant film about the brevity of youth." |
Mick LaSalle |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Real Dirt on Farmer John (2007) |

The Reaping (2007) |
"What could Swank really have done with such a cliche-ridden screenplay, except turn it down?" |
Ruthe Stein |
Tomato 4/4 |
Rear Window (1954) |
"Since the 1954 Alfred Hitchcock classic is all about the voyeuristic instinct, the better the view, the more sensational the experience." |
Peter Stack |
Tomato 3/4 |
Rebel Without a Cause (1955) |
"An indelible vision of a pretty 1950s America with a searing crack in it." |

Recess: School's Out (2001) |

The Reckoning (2004) |
"Celebrates the craft of acting both in its story and in fine performances by Paul Bettany, Willem Dafoe and Brian Cox." |
Carla Meyer |
Tomato 3/4 |
Reconstruction (2004) |
"Boe can be forgiven for occasionally bringing Reconstruction ... to the brink of pretension. It's his first full- length feature, and this is the mark of a novice. He makes up for it with a natural's gift for storytelling and eye for casting." |
Ruthe Stein |
Tomato 3/4 |
Recount (2008) |
"It's impossible to overstate the excellent casting here." |
Tim Goodman |

The Recruit (2003) |
"The Recruit falters after it leaves the Farm, throwing in unbelievable plot devices and losing its high-wire tension." |

Red (1994) |
"Jacob is so good in the role, so effective at suggesting a mingling of innocence and intuition, that it's easy to imagine why Red was written with her in mind." |
Edward Guthmann |
