Daddy Day Camp (2007)

"If the movie is relentless low-brow swill, its splattery good cheer makes it hard to hate. Just go in expecting the expected, and maybe bring a tarp."

Daddy's Little Girls (2007)

"[Union and Elba] are such expressive, extremely thoughtful performers. They have chemistry and they have class. What they don't have is a filmmaker who knows yet how to use either to make real movie magic. I'm rooting for him to figure it out."

Dan in Real Life (2007)

"Dan in Real Life lacks the nerve of genuine storytelling. It's for moviegoers who would have preferred Little Miss Sunshine if that movie hadn't been so gosh-darn dark."

Dancer in the Dark (1999)

"Much of it comes across as a giant, misshapen ego trip."

The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys (2002)

"Built for nothing but the laziest Saturday afternoons, Altar Boys is zipless enough to seem to receive its narrative rhythms and emotional energy intravenously."

Dans Paris (2007)

"A lighthearted riff on heavy themes, Dans Paris is a knowing throwback to the playful, profound works of the early French New Wave."

Darfur Now (2007)

"Slick, impassioned, and guardedly upbeat."

Dark Blue (2003)

"The script throws enough curveballs to raise Dark Blue slightly above the genre average."

The Dark Knight (2008)

"You come away impressed, oppressed, provoked, and beaten down, holding on to Ledger's squirrelly incandescence as a beacon in the darkness."

Dark Water (2005)

"Until it sputters to a nonsensical close, the film is a spooky entertainment."

Darshan - the Embrace (2006)

"The effect, however, is tranquilizing. It's disorienting and misleading, too, having the unintentional effect of making the holy woman seem like a mysterious kook."

Date Movie (2006)

"If their goal was to make a spoof film with heart, the end result has an irregular beat at best."

Dawn of the Dead (2004)

"Few of the original movie's political and philosophical preoccupations (abortion, capitalism, patriotism, individualism) remain. Instead, the remake feels like the product of the PlayStation era."

The Day I Became A Woman (2001)

"Its central image instantly leaps into the pantheon of world cinema with a rightness and an urgency that glue your eyes to the screen."

Day Watch (2007)

"Were I to tell you the summer's most awesome blockbuster action sequel involved a war over a piece of chalk, you'd laugh. But it's true."

Days and Clouds (2008)

"The movie's success in Italy is partly a matter of frustration: Women need their men to grow up."

Days of Glory (1944)

De-Lovely (2004)

"Thoughtful, creative, and generally worthy of its subject, with sins that are more of ambition and miscalculation than of execution."

The Deal (2005)

"Seldom entertaining."

Dear Frankie (2005)

"This wee Scottish drama takes a mawkish premise and, by playing its cards close to the vest, imbues it with quiet, careworn dignity."

Death at a Funeral (2007)

"Death builds slowly and inexorably to a comic explosion that's just too good -- too insanely, impossibly mortifying -- to spoil here."

The Death of Mr. Lazarescu (2006)

"As commentary, it's grim. As filmmaking, it's a powerfully disturbing odyssey through the Bucharest health care system."

Death Sentence (2007)

"The cynics will slap their foreheads, the squeamish will cover their eyes."

A Decade Under the Influence (2003)

"It's gratifying and exhilarating enough -- the movie's a foolproof greatest-hits clips package. But Christie is its major coup."

Deception (2008)

"Calling your terrible crime thriller Deception is like naming your bad cooking movie Food -- an advertisement for laziness."
