Y Tu Mama Tambien (2002)

"A raunchy Mexican teen comedy with surprising depth and the nerve to confront subtexts that normally get short shrift in pictures aimed primarily at young men."

The Yakuza (1975)

"Interesting and well-acted, if clumsy, American take on the Japanese gangster genre."

Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942)

"It's heartfelt entertainment and anyone who ever whistled a tune, tapped a toe or hummed a bar of music will love it."

The Year My Parents Went On Vacation (2008)

"The acting is uniformly fine."

Year of the Dog (2007)

"White has an outsider's sympathy for Peggy's loss and instinctively understands how the selfishness of people can drive a sensitive person to the company of animals."

Yellow Asphalt (2002)

"These three films form a remarkably cohesive whole, both visually and thematically, through their consistently sensitive and often exciting treatment of an ignored people."

Yes (2005)

"A bold, fearless drama filled with scathing ironies."

Yes Nurse! No Nurse! (2004)

"Director Pieter Kramer successfully reproduces the bright colors and cheerful ambiance of musical comedies of the 1950s and '60s."

Yiddish Theater: A Love Story (2007)

"Interviews with aging caretakers of the Yiddish Theater are vivid windows into a bygone world, and Spaisman herself, a feisty firebrand whose accent is so strong Katzir supplied subtitles, is a formidable personality."

Yossi & Jagger (2003)

"Fox offers a parable that demonstrates the depths of the military's hypocrisy and the lingering tragedy of a love that remains hidden away."

You Can't Take It With You (1938)

"An entertaining, if saccharine film, packed with enough loony activity to keep the laughs coming from start to finish."

You Got Served (2004)

"Anyone who's never heard of B2K or hip-hop choreographer Wade Robson, or who generally harbors a strong aversion to films with lots of dancing, little plot and a very loud soundtrack might want to stay far away."

You Kill Me (2007)

"Director John Dahl keeps a firm hand on Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely's razor-sharp hit-man-in-rehab comedy."

You Think You Really Know Me: The Gary Wilson Story (2005)

"Thanks to the enthusiasm of these two dedicated music lovers, Wilson's odd story gained a happy ending."

You're a Big Boy Now (1966)

"Significant as an early example of the developing talent of one of the most important (if not the most important) American directors of the 1970s."

You've Got Mail (1998)

"That Joe is smug, oily and a ruthless destroyer of small businesses, while Kathleen intolerably twee, makes for some rough sledding that the combined star power of Ryan and Hanks doesn't ameliorate."

Young & Restless In China (2008)

"A real-life soap opera you can feel sophisticated for watching -- after all, it's really about globalization, even if broken hearts and family dysfunction occupy center stage."

Young Black Stallion (2003)

"Young Tamimi is a terrific rider but a lackluster screen presence, and the film's brevity ensures that her trials have a perfunctory quality that keeps them from being truly compelling."

Young Girl and the Monsoon (2001)

"It's clear that writer-director James Ryan views his characters through a highly self-indulgent lens."

Young Mr. Lincoln (1940)

"A superb motion picture, and one in which Ford's obsession with Americana and the forces and emotions that made this country what it is are plainly in view."

The Young Philadelphians (1959)

"Based on a very popular novel, the film is a competent but undistinguished adaptation that breathes only through the presence of its dynamic star."

Your Friends & Neighbors (1998)

"A top-notch and beautifully matched cast!"

Youth Without Youth (2007)

"Coppola's eye for vividly composed images is undiminished, but the story is an unfocussed hodge-podge of mystical musings and Twilight Zone-ish occurances."

Yugoslavia: The Avoidable War (2002)

"Veers uncomfortably close to pro-Serb propaganda."
