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 |
