Tomato
3/4

I am a Sex Addict (2005)

"The narrowness of [Zahedi's] sexual repertoire is the springboard for a charming and boundless homemade sort of filmmaking."

Wesley Morris

Tomato
3/4

I Am Legend (2007)

"I Am Legend is actually about the last man on earth played by one of the last real movie stars on earth."

Wesley Morris

Tomato
2.5/4

I Am Sam (2002)

"Penn and Pfeiffer carry I Am Sam further into plausibility than it has any right to expect."

Jay Carr

Tomato
2.5/4

I Am Trying to Break Your Heart (2002)

"An undeniably gorgeous, terminally smitten document of a troubadour, his acolytes, and the triumph of his band."

Wesley Morris

Tomato
3/4

I Capture the Castle (2003)

"A clear-headed, straightforward version of Dodie Smith's 1948 novel."

Wesley Morris

Tomato
3.5/4

I Don't Want To Sleep Alone (2007)

"The hormones here don't rage so much as unfurl over two exquisite hours."

Wesley Morris

Splat

I Dreamed of Africa (2000)

"I Dreamed of Africa plays like a string of journal entries waiting to be assembled into the fully involving narrative you're convinced it can be, but isn't here."

Jay Carr

Splat
2/4

I Have Never Forgotten You (2007)

"... the story of Wiesenthal is forced to compete with the sappiest of manipulative musical scores, a cheesy overemphasis on the Wiesenthal Center and its director, and a Hollywood mentality ..."

Marc Fisher

Tomato
3.5/4

I Heart Huckabees (2004)

"The trick of David O. Russell's splattery, overstuffed, and pretty wonderful Philosophy 101 farce is that it's also one of the sanest movies in ages."

Ty Burr

Splat
2/4

I Know Who Killed Me (2007)

"An intensely unpleasant killer-thriller mystery that has nevertheless been directed with low-budget craft by Chris Sivertson."

Ty Burr

Splat
2/4

I Love You, Beth Cooper (2009)

"Panettiere, I’m sad to report, is a dud as the title character, a supposed wild thang who never rises above the level of runty, obnoxious mall chick, down to the roll-on tan."

Ty Burr

Tomato
3/4

I Love You, Man (2009)

"It's a bromance that's out and proud. In the liberation are the laughs, and they stick to your ribs longer than you'd think."

Ty Burr

Tomato
2.5/4

I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (2007)

"The movie is often stupid. But coming from an industry institutionally terrified of being honest about its own sexuality, it feels brave, going a step further than 'not that there's anything wrong with that.'"

Wesley Morris

2/4

I Sell the Dead (2009)

"If it's not actually a good movie, on some level you have to admire the chutzpah of a film set in 1850s Ireland but shot on Staten Island."

Ty Burr

Tomato
3/4

I Served the King of England (2008)

"The moral translates darkly and it translates well."

Ty Burr

Splat
1.5/4

I Spy (2002)

"For all its dopey shootouts and inept identity tweaks, nothing in this movie amounts to anything."

Wesley Morris

Splat
2/4

I Think I Love My Wife (2007)

"... if only the movie were as stinging as his stand-up."

Wesley Morris

Tomato
3/4

I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With (2007)

"I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With has the same conditional deals and loosely drawn sensibility as Curb Your Enthusiasm."

Wesley Morris

Tomato
3/4

I'll Sing For You (2004)

"For fans of African music, Sing is a rich archeological dig; for newcomers with open ears, it might be a revelation."

Ty Burr

Splat
1.5/4

I'll Sleep When I'm Dead (2004)

"Feels undernourished in plot, characterization, and dialogue, and what should play with minimalist high tension is allowed to sag lower and lower until it simply grounds out."

Ty Burr

Tomato
3.5/4

I'm Going Home (2002)

"De Oliveira gives us a witty, moving, yet unsentimental study of mortality that ranks among the best work of his career."

Damon Smith

Tomato
3.5/4

I'm Not Scared (2004)

"Watching it is like being lost in somebody's richly moody campfire story."

Wesley Morris

Tomato
4/4

I'm Not There (2007)

"I'm Not There feels like the most alive work to hit the screen in ages."

Ty Burr

Tomato
3/4

I've Loved You So Long (2008)

"Thomas packs infinite amounts of nuance and agony into such moments, and after a while she outraces the movie itself."

Ty Burr

Splat
2/4

I, Robot (2004)

"The sort of multiplex-buster that depends more on editing and production design than on story line."

Ty Burr

Tomato
3/4

Ice Age (2002)

"It has taken 20th Century Fox a while to land on the animation scoreboard. Now it has. Ice Age is the coolest animation in town."

Jay Carr

Splat
2/4

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009)

"Yes, dinosaurs are cool. Just not cool enough to save this sequel."

Janice Page

Splat
2/4

Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006)

"Ice Age: The Meltdown is pure sequel product that should make children and undemanding grown-ups happy even as it lacks anything resembling storytelling inspiration."

Ty Burr

Tomato
3/4

The Ice Harvest (2005)

"Bumptiously entertaining."

Ty Burr

Tomato
2.5/4

Ice Princess (2005)

"The movie paints such a gentle picture of the figure skating world that neither we nor Joan can stay resentful for long."

Wesley Morris

Splat
2/4

Identity (2003)

"It's an exasperating exercise in B-movie hokum and screenwriter's gimmickry."

Wesley Morris

Splat
2/4

Idlewild (2006)

"A sludgy, badly photographed, poorly edited bungle whose musical numbers never pop."

Wesley Morris

Tomato
3.5/4

Igby Goes Down (2002)

"Blisteringly rude, scarily funny, sorrowfully sympathetic to the damage it surveys, the film has in Kieran Culkin a pitch-perfect Holden."

Ty Burr

Splat
1.5/4

Igor (2008)

"To convince you that it's full of surprises, the movie throws in Louis Prima songs where they don't belong, and it riffs on classic monster-movie cliches mostly by spinning them into newly unfunny cliches."

Janice Page

Tomato
4/4

Ikiru (1952)

"There has never been a smarter, more compassionate film about imminent death."

Ty Burr

Tomato
3/4

Il Divo (2009)

"Il Divo joins Matteo Garrone's more expansive, more extraordinary Gomorrah -- which contains an even better performance from Servillo -- as a grim portrait of the trouble with modern Italy."

Wesley Morris

Tomato
2.5/4

Illegal Tender (2007)

"A solid meat-and-potatoes B-movie with enough personality to spin it in unexpected directions."

Ty Burr

Tomato
3/4

The Illusionist (2006)

"The pleasure of The Illusionist lies in its luxuriant belief in old-fashioned verities like character and storytelling; it's as thin as a sheet of marbled endpaper and as cleanly crafted."

Ty Burr

Splat
2/4

Imaginary Heroes (2004)

"Harris directs at a funereal pace that snuffs out his script's own wit, and only Weaver keeps the bitter laughs coming."

Ty Burr

Tomato
3/4

Imaginary Witness: Hollywood and the Holocaust (2004)

"Daniel Anker's film faults Hollywood both for ignoring the Holocaust during the war years and for trivializing it later. It's a mixed message that coheres largely thanks to Anker's archival spadework and his luck in securing interviews."

Ty Burr

Splat
2/4

Imagine That (2009)

"Eddie Murphy in another mediocre family comedy? Imagine that."

Wesley Morris

Tomato
2.5/4

IMAX - Galapagos (2002)

"A few magnificent moments underwater can make it all seem worthwhile."

Louise Kennedy

Tomato
3/4

IMAX - Pulse: A STOMP Odyssey (2006)

"The soundtrack alone -- the literal pulse of the thing -- will rock you in your seat."

Thea Singer

Tomato
2/4

IMAX - The Greatest Places (1999)

"The one thing still made abundantly clear in this relatively low-tech, drive-by presentation is that these truly are some of Earth's greatest places."

Janice Page

Tomato
3/4

Imelda (2004)

"At its most acridly useful when comparing the former first lady's recollections with others' less sanguine memories."

Ty Burr

Tomato
3/4

Importance of Being Earnest (2002)

"...sharp performances and a literate script that never has to resort to cheap humor to be sidesplittingly funny."

Loren King

Tomato
3/4

In a Dream (2009)

"The sheer visual impact of In a Dream is breathtaking."

Laura Bennett

Splat
2.5/4

In America (2003)

"Lesson-laden, tear-jerking fairy tale."

Wesley Morris

Splat
2.5/4

In Bruges (2008)

"What's a pair of Irish hitmen doing In Bruges? I.e., what are two colorful but hackneyed movie stereotypes doing in Belgium's most well-preserved medieval city?"

Ty Burr

Splat

The In Crowd (2000)

"The In Crowd is a J. Crew ad gone very, very wrong."

Jay Carr
