Baadasssss! (2004) |
"Not only a very personal account, but also a savvy stylistic homage to Sweetback's shoe-string methods and a powerful primer of historical and sociological context." |

Bad Boys II (2003) |
"A 100-mph joy ride until it...runs out of steam. It’s not that fireballs and gunfights drop off, it’s that the accumulative effect becomes a mind-numbing din of million-dollar-a-minute over-production." |
Rob Blackwelder |

Bad Company (2002) |

Bad News Bears (2005) |
"...feels less like The Bad News Bears and more like the cliché-riddled sports-underdog comedies that have been ripping off The Bad News Bears for 30 years." |

Bamboozled (2000) |
"By the halfway mark, the din of self-righteousness begins to drown out much of the movie's stinging wit." |
Rob Blackwelder |
Tomato 3/4 |
Bandits (2001) |
"All three plumb their characters’ souls for authenticity and human irony that gives "Bandits" a surprising depth to go with its capricious wit." |

The Banger Sisters (2002) |
"All leather pants & augmented boobs, Hawn is hilarious as she tries to resuscitate the fun-loving libertine lost somewhere inside the conservative, handbag-clutching Sarandon." |
Rob Blackwelder |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Bangkok Dangerous (2001) |
"An intense, pulsating, ironically noise-fueled redemption fable...the film has a colorful, rave-mix energy that sweeps the audience into Bangkok's neon-emblazoned underworld." |

Barbershop (2002) |
"Watching (Cedric) go on a politically incorrect jag about Rodney King, O.J. (and) Rosa Parks...is a can't-believe-your-ears laugh almost worth the price of admission by itself." |
Rob Blackwelder |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Barbershop 2: Back in Business (2004) |
