Splat
1.5/4

Nacho Libre (2006)

"It's a one-gag film that rises or falls on how funny you find the sight of fat, grease-slicked Jack Black crammed into spandex pants and capering like an epileptic lamb."

Maitland McDonagh

Tomato

Nadja (1994)

"It may not make much sense, but it never looks less than fabulous."

Tomato
4/5

Naked (1993)

Tomato
2.5/4

Naked Boys Singing (2007)

"A restaged version of the long-running Off-Broadway revue of the same title, Naked Boys Singing delivers exactly what it promises."

Maitland McDonagh

Tomato
4/4

The Naked City (1948)

"This superlative film set the pattern for myriad documentary-type dramas to come."

Tomato
2.5/5

Naked Fame (2005)

"What makes the film more interesting than it might have been, however, is the warm relationship between Glenn and Peter. They're two genuinely nice guys who seem to have formed very different attitudes toward their porn careers."

Ken Fox

Splat
2.5/4

The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear (1991)

"Not quite as fresh as the first."

Tomato
3/4

The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult (1994)

"Any film that can resurrect Pia Zadora from obscurity, if only to plunk a tuba on her head and toss her off a stage, deserves some kind of award."

Tomato
3.5/4

The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988)

"The Naked Gun is a continuous stream of verbal and visual gags that come so fast, you don't have time to realize how bad/old/corny they are."

Tomato
3.5/4

The Namesake (2007)

"A funny and touching adaptation of Pulitzer Prize-winner Jhumpa Lahiri's novel about two generations of Bengali-Americans attempting to reconcile the world of their collective past with that of their individual futures."

Ken Fox

Tomato
3/4

Nancy Drew (2007)

"The movie's refusal to treat young girls like silly tramps-in-training is almost radical: It's just good, clean fun and actually offers children of a certain age a role model even adults can feel good about."

Ken Fox

Tomato
3.5/4

Nanking (2007)

"An important contribution to a historical record that, tragically, is still far from complete."

Ken Fox

Tomato
3/4

The Nanny Diaries (2007)

"The movie belongs to Linney, who brings a full-blooded dimension to what could have been a misogynistic cutout. Holding one's own opposite her is no mean feat, but Johansson acquits herself well."

Ken Fox

Tomato
3/4

Nanny McPhee (2006)

"Based on the series of Nurse Matilda stories for young adults written by the late Christianna Brand, this quirky, uncommonly intelligent adaptation is a strange delight."

Ken Fox

Tomato
4/4

Nanook of the North (1922)

"By virtue of its timeless setting and straightforward approach to its subject, this portrait of the daily lives of an Eskimo man and his family is probably the least dated of any silent film extant."

Tomato
5/5

Napoleon (1927)

"Abel Gance's visionary silent epic Napoleon is a dazzling display of cinematic virtuosity."

Tomato
3.5/5

Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

"One of the most original and quirkily endearing debuts since Wes Anderson's Bottle Rocket."

Ken Fox

Tomato
3/5

Naqoyqatsi (2002)

"Thoughtful essay."

Maitland McDonagh

Tomato
3.5/5

Narc (2002)

"Familiar story, electrifying execution."

Maitland McDonagh

Tomato
2.5/5

NASCAR: The Imax Experience (2004)

"Offers a bit of NASCAR history, a smattering of engineering facts, glimpses of some of the sport's most popular personalities and a whole lot of hyperbolic chatter about the populist glory of driving really noisy cars in a circle at 200 miles per hour."

Maitland McDonagh

Tomato
5/5

Nashville (1975)

"Robert Altman's triumph; one of the best American movies of the 70s and one of the most complex, expertly constructed narratives ever."

Tomato
3/4

Nathalie (2003)

"Exceptional performances and the oh-so-Frenchness of the complications produce an erotic tale that plays like the best gossipy story you ever heard about people you thought you knew."

Maitland McDonagh

Tomato
3/5

National Geographic - Forces of Nature (2005)

"While occasionally dry and over-reliant on computer-generated visualizations of the Earth's core and tectonic plates, this documentary's impressive footage of natural disasters is nothing short of amazing."

Angel Cohn

Tomato
4/5

National Geographic - Lewis & Clark: Great Journey West (2002)

Click here to see the review.

Tomato
3.5/4

National Lampoon's Animal House (1978)

"This was the first of those crazy-college-antics films and remains, in most ways, the best."

Tomato
3/5

National Lampoon's Attack of the 5' 2" Women (1994)

"Vulgar and hilariously profane, this twin tale of media madness torn from the tabloids is the perfect party video."

Tomato
3/4

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989)

"With enough sight gags to please slapstick fans and enough good-natured Christmas cheer to qualify as a good holiday film, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation should keep most viewers occupied and provide 97 minutes of goofy entertainment."

Tomato
2.5/5

National Lampoon's Favorite Deadly Sins (1996)

"For a good time, unrepentant sinners are advised to succumb to Greed and vent their Anger, but not to give into Lust."

Splat
1/5

National Lampoon's Gold Diggers (2004)

"Even by the debased standards of later films released under the National Lampoon banner, this is sorry stuff."

Maitland McDonagh

Tomato
2.5/4

National Lampoon's Vacation (1983)

"Funny, though often obvious."

Tomato
2.5/5

National Lampoon's Van Wilder (2002)

"While not for every taste, this often very funny collegiate gross-out comedy goes a long way toward restoring the luster of the National Lampoon film franchise, too long reduced to direct-to-video irrelevancy."

Steve Simels

Splat
2/5

National Security (2003)

"The cliched plot and unconvincing action sequences ... don't blend well with the comic scenes and make the film look painfully cheap."

Angel Cohn

Splat
2/5

National Treasure (2004)

"A silly, stupendously artificial enterprise."

Maitland McDonagh

Splat
2/4

National Treasure 2 : Book of Secrets (2007)

"It’s too long and too loud and filled with historical disinformation."

Ken Fox

Splat
2.5/4

The Nativity Story (2006)

"This retelling of the familiar tale is as solemnly predictable as a Catholic-school nativity play, and nearly as dull."

Maitland McDonagh

Tomato
3/4

The Natural (1984)

"Somewhat overly sentimental, lacking the novel's subtlety, and less interesting when the action leaves the ball park, Barry Levinson's beautifully shot film is nonetheless a charming fairy tale."

Tomato
4.5/5

The Navigator (1921)

Splat
2/4

Navy Seals (1990)

"[It] amounts to a less-than-involving two-hour commercial for the Navy."

Tomato
4.5/5

Nazarin (1958)

Click here to see the review.

Tomato
3.5/5

The Nazi Officer's Wife

"At a brisk 97 minutes, the film skips over many episodes that make Hahn's book a pulse-pounding page-turner, but offers her rare perspective on both sides of civilian life during those nightmare years."

Ken Fox

Tomato
3.5/4

Near Dark (1987)

"An auspicious solo directing debut from Kathryn Bigelow."

Tomato
3/4

Nearing Grace (2006)

"The story is small, but their performances give it depth and weight."

Maitland McDonagh

Tomato
3/5

Ned Kelly (2004)

"Jordan's nightmarish vision of the Australian landscape is vividly haunting."

Maitland McDonagh

Splat
2/5

Neil Young - Greendale (2004)

"Young's visual interpretation of his lyrics is so literal that the film resembles an early music video, and it's a curiously passive experience."

Ken Fox

Tomato
3.5/4

Neil Young - Heart of Gold (2006)

"Young returns to the screen in peak form in Jonathan Demme's warm and surprisingly intimate concert film."

Ken Fox

Tomato
4/5

Nenette and Boni (1996)

Click here to see the review.

Tomato
4/4

Network (1976)

"Finch's spouting is impressive, but we prefer Holden's sardonic edge, even if his big speeches seem the most predictably written."

Splat
2/5

Never Again (2002)

"With a tone as variable as the cinematography, Schaeffer's film never settles into the light-footed enchantment the material needs, and the characters' quirks and foibles never jell into charm."

Frank Lovece

Tomato
3/4

Never Back Down (2008)

"This unlikely hybrid of The Karate Kid and Fight Club is formulaic and derivative, but sufficiently well made to work as both teen-angst melodrama and bone-rattling brawl picture."

Maitland McDonagh

Splat

Never Been Kissed (1999)

"Not even Drew Barrymore's million-dollar smile can save this humiliating comedy!"

Ken Fox
