W. (2008)

"Oliver Stone Takes On George W. Bush"

Tomato

W. (2008)

"If Stone's portrait of George Bush is laid on with a trowel, maybe it's because God seems to have engineered the real Bush's life with a similarly crude sense of irony."

Dana Stevens

Tomato

Waitress (2007)

"A feminist fairy tale about a woman learning to develop her creative gifts while trapped in a stifling marriage, Waitress doesn't need to be subtle or original to hit home."

Dana Stevens

Tomato

Waking Life (2001)

"One of the most inspired cases of the medium embodying the message ever captured on celluloid."

David Edelstein

Tomato

WALL-E (2008)

"Wall-E is an improbable delight, a G-rated crowd-pleaser that seems poised to pack theaters as efficiently as the titular robot crams his chest cavity with rubble."

Dana Stevens

Tomato

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005)

"Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit is a bloody delight on every level."

David Edelstein

Tomato

Wanted (2008)

"If the graphic-novel-style hyperviolence of Sin City or 300 is your thing, go ahead and knock yourself out. Or let Angelina do it for you … It feels so much nicer that way."

Dana Stevens

War (2007)

Dana Stevens

Tomato

War of the Worlds (2005)

"It's the human struggle that makes this a sci-fi masterpiece."

David Edelstein

Splat

Watchmen (2009)

"Watchmen fans wondering whether their graphic novel has been ruined will be thrilled to see its key scenes reproduced with storyboardlike fidelity, but those who've never read it will be unlikely to understand what the big deal was in the first place."

Dana Stevens

Tomato

We Don't Live Here Anymore (2004)

"Pretty potent."

David Edelstein

Tomato

We Were Soldiers (2002)

"Makes you cry for the hundreds of thousands of men and women who died so pointlessly with Geoghegan. And their orphans."

David Edelstein

Tomato

Wedding Crashers (2005)

"The script by Steve Faber and Bob Fisher is one of those high-speed, ping-pong-banter marvels in which you're still laughing from the last great line when you're hit by the next."

David Edelstein

Splat

Welcome to Mooseport (2004)

"An ocean of blown opportunities."

David Edelstein

Splat

What's The Worst That Could Happen? (2001)

"The movies come out desperate instead of deadpan."

David Edelstein

Splat

Whatever Works (2009)

"The idea of wedding Woody Allen's comic persona (the introverted nebbish) to Larry David's (the entitled jerk) sounds promising on paper, but as Boris portentously observes just before his unsuccessful suicide attempt, life doesn't take place on paper."

Dana Stevens

Tomato

When the Levees Broke (2006)

"When the Levees Broke is a monument of oral history. Without fanfare, Lee orchestrates a multivoiced blues for the common man."

Troy Patterson

Splat

Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden? (2008)

"Insofar as Spurlock draws any political conclusions at all, they don't go much further than the title of the Elvis Costello song that plays under the final credits, (What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding?"

Dana Stevens

Splat

Where the Wild Things Are (2009)

"Jonze and Eggers' approach to the book is both original and well-intentioned; it's clear that they take both Sendak and childhood seriously (though not as seriously as they take themselves). It's just too bad the end result isn't a better movie."

Dana Stevens

Tomato

Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill (2005)

"In many ways, this is a movie for outcasts and outcasts at heart -- most of us, I'll wager."

David Edelstein

Splat

William Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice (2004)

"Radford doesn't solve the problems of The Merchant of Venice, which nowadays is too disturbing to be played for comedy and too unresolved to qualify as tragedy or even that ever-shifting hybrid, tragicomedy."

David Edelstein

Tomato

Wimbledon (2004)

"This is the part that will finally make the tall, freckled Bettany a star. He's exquisitely high-strung in a way that women will find madly attractive and men madly agreeable."

David Edelstein

Splat

Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! (2004)

"It must be admitted that the final 10 minutes of Win A Date With Tad Hamilton! are likable: one cliche following another, but with charming restraint. Or it might just have been that the movie's simple-mindedness wore me down."

David Edelstein

Tomato

Winter Solstice (2005)

"A quivering portrait of a grief-stricken family, all male, after the loss of a wife and mom."

David Edelstein

Splat

World Trade Center (2006)

"For all its crude effectiveness as a true-life melodrama of survival, World Trade Center doesn't do much with 9/11, except to sentimentalize it for popular consumption."

Dana Stevens

Tomato

The Wrestler (2008)

"The scruffy, almost accidental beauty of The Wrestler comes as even more of a surprise than the greatness of Mickey Rourke's performance."

Dana Stevens
