Tomato 3/4 |
U-Carmen (2007) |
"Tells a complicated story, gives unique voice to a classic piece of music, and opens a window on contemporary South Africa in a pleasing, symmetrical fashion." |
Susan Walker |
Tomato 3/4 |
The U.S. vs. John Lennon (2006) |
"Documentarians David Leaf and John Scheinfeld go beyond the usual glibness, revealing a much fuller portrait of the man." |
Peter Howell |
Tomato |
U2 3D (2008) |
"I saw the Vertigo tour and U23D is more than just the next best thing to it. In many ways, it’s superior to a real concert. This time, I didn’t have to put up with the rowdy drunks who blocked my view." |
Peter Howell |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Ugly Truth (2009) |
"Opposites attract, but you'll really wish they hadn't by the time The Ugly Truth is through." |
Jason Anderson |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Unaccompanied Minors (2006) |
"If you really must find something to distract your children from Christmas shopping and material yearning, this one gets top recommendation for happily occupying 90 minutes at the mall." |
Susan Walker |
Tomato |
Unbreakable (2000) |
"There's no question Unbreakable, for all its flaws, is a movie that stays with you." |
Geoff Pevere |
Tomato 3/4 |
Under the Same Moon (2008) |
"The performances -- and the movie's sideways glance at the culture of illegal immigrants, including a funny song about Superman ('He has no social security and no green card') -- give the movie its nicely controlled vitality." |
Philip Marchand |
Tomato 3/4 |
Under the Sand (2001) |
"Under The Sand lifts the phantom-spouse syndrome to the level of art, yet another dimension for this popular form." |
Peter Howell |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Under the Sea 3D (2009) |
"This is the fourth Imax underwater excursion, and the second in 3-D, and it may just be the best yet." |
Peter Howell |
Splat 2/5 |
Under the Sun (2001) |
"Under The Sun is a decent, polished and rather coy romantic indulgence, just the kind of thing for people who like the idea of the farm but can't abide the dirt." |
Geoff Pevere |
Tomato 3/5 |
Under the Tuscan Sun (2003) |
"Lane makes a good impression of a woman taking a big risk and winning a second chance at life." |
Susan Walker |
Splat 1/4 |
Underclassman (2005) |
"If it weren't for the racist and puerile humour and the general laziness of the production, you could almost understand a movie like Underclassman. And maybe even forgive it." |
Peter Howell |
Tomato 3/5 |
Undercover Brother (2002) |
"It's about keeping it funny, and on that score Undercover Brother is right on." |
Peter Howell |
Splat 2/4 |
Underdog (2007) |
"Even at a lean 84 minutes, padded with a credit blooper reel, it seems long. If you've seen one flying dog, you've seen them all. Jay Leno's cameo appearance proves he's almost as big a publicity hound as Larry King." |
Peter Howell |
Splat 2/5 |
Undertow (2004) |
"'Southern Gothic' and 'arthouse' are rarely used to describe the same movie, and Undertow is a prime example of why that is." |
Peter Howell |
Splat 2/5 |
Underworld (2003) |
"Wiseman ... seems vastly more concerned with making a fashion statement than scaring the bejesus out of us." |
Peter Howell |
Splat 1/4 |
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (2009) |
"Underworld: Rise of the Lycans is as unnecessary as it is uninvolving. Only fans desperate to learn how the whole vampire-werewolf conflict began are likely to get anything out of this viewing experience." |
Jason Anderson |
Splat 1/4 |
Undiscovered (2005) |
"When Hollywood suits conduct their autopsy on what went wrong at the box office this summer, they may wish to exhume the corpse of Undiscovered for a closer inspection. If they can stand the stench." |
Peter Howell |
Splat 2/5 |
Unfaithful (2002) |
"Plays like something that's been cryogenically preserved since the AIDS-hysteria heyday of about 1987." |
Geoff Pevere |
Splat 2/4 |
An Unfinished Life (2005) |
"The picture has no discernible reason for being. It's impossible to identify with characters who seem so fond of their own misery, they can't be bothered to communicate even the most basic facts about themselves." |
Peter Howell |
Splat 2/4 |
The Uninvited (2009) |
"The premise is seaworthy, but the execution flounders." |
Susan Walker |
Tomato 4/4 |
United 93 (2006) |
"... this is a picture we all must see." |
Peter Howell |
Splat 2/5 |
The United States of Leland (2004) |
"A depressive, civics-lesson Donnie Darko variation." |
Geoff Pevere |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Unknown Woman (2006) |
"Rappoport is the movie's saving grace." |
Susan Walker |
Tomato 3/4 |
Unleashed (2005) |
"Unleashed is that rarest of things: a violent movie that makes you think." |
Peter Howell |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Unmistaken Child (2009) |
"The film is fascinating on every level -- as a portrait of a willing servant in a complex, powerful and inscrutable religious system and a feast of spectacular sights and unusual mundane events in a corner of the world rarely exposed to prying eyes." |
Greg Quill |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Unnatural & Accidental (2006) |
"Unnatural & Accidental never really engages either your sympathies or your outrage." |
Geoff Pevere |
Splat 2/4 |
Untraceable (2008) |
"Untraceable demonstrates, once again, how unnecessary it is for audiences actually to understand technical jargon." |
Philip Marchand |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Up (2009) |
"Up is a story of human bonds remembered and new ones forged, and never for one moment does it seems insincere or contrived." |
Peter Howell |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Up and Down (2005) |
"Høebejk claims inspiration from the likes of Mike Leigh and Woody Allen, and that can be seen in the surety of the characters, brought to life by an able cast that includes former Czech president Václav Havel." |
Peter Howell |
Splat |
Up at the Villa (2000) |
"Spends more time talking about trouble than it does pursuing it." |
Peter Howell |
Tomato 4/4 |
Up in the Air (2009) |
"George Clooney has never seemed more vulnerable or more in tune with a role than he does in Up in the Air, a film that will be hard to beat for Best Picture come Oscar time." |
Peter Howell |
Tomato 3/4 |
Up The Yangtze (2007) |
"[Director Yung Chang] and lenser Wang Shi Qing use powerful images, subtlety and a little humour to apprise the viewer of the human and cultural issues at stake." |
Peter Howell |
Splat 2/4 |
The Upside of Anger (2005) |
"Standard-issue." |
Geoff Pevere |
Splat 2/5 |
Uptown Girls (2003) |
"Can two over-pampered but fundamentally lonely persons of the blonde female persuasion bond meaningfully with each other while shopping?" |
Geoff Pevere |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ushpizin (2005) |
"[The film] places a captivating life study in the context of a modern fairy tale." |
Peter Howell |
