Jack (1996)

"Someone deserves a timeout for letting this mawkish misfire get to the screen."

Jackie Chan's First Strike (1997)

"There's definitely more than three rings' worth of death-defying feats, high-flying slapstick and even a few well-trained animal acts."

Jade (1995)

"This is the second high-profile Joe Eszterhas script in three weeks, and were it not sleazy enough to make his Showgirls howlerama pass for fun, you could debate whether he or Mark Fuhrman has had a worse fall season."

James and the Giant Peach (1996)

"A stunner with a breathtaking array of eye-teasers."

Jarhead (2005)

"Director Sam Mendes' third screen outing pretty well nails Swofford's tone, which was mordant without being disrespectful, and, in fact, is begrudgingly reverent of the Corps."

Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001)

"After the agony of sitting through American Pie 2 and Rat Race within a week of each other, it's gratifying to see a comedy can have no redeeming social value yet be full of hearty laughs."

Jeepers Creepers (2001)

"Jeepers Creepers is no big-screen keeper, but it does survive its 40-minute test drive before turning into a lemon."

Jeffrey (1995)

"It is startling that such a funny play is not so funny a movie."

Jerry Maguire (1996)

"Cameron Crowe's overstuffed but exuberantly humane Jerry Maguire is a Tom Cruise vehicle that gives equal time to brilliantly cast co-stars in elaborately conceived roles."

Jimmy Carter Man From Plains (2007)

"Intriguing examination of a complex and dedicated public servant."

Jingle All the Way (1996)

"Here's Arnie, of all people, playing a bedraggled suburbanite, and his perversely amusing casting boosts a crass, sometimes nasty and finally funny celebration of holiday mass-merchandising and greed."

Joe's Apartment (1996)

"So much up-to- the-minute technology hasn't been used for so disastrous a product since the Hindenburg."

John Tucker Must Die (2006)

"John Tucker Must Die is trying to be Mean Girls with a more pointed purpose, but it's less fun than it sounds."

Johnny Mnemonic (1995)

"You can have a better time title-scanning Johnny pics in an alphabetical video guide than you can enduring the latest Blade Runner knockoff: Johnny Mnemonic."

Jonah: A VeggieTales Movie (2002)

"The main lessons Jonah attempts to teach are compassion and mercy. That's an unusual -- and welcome -- message these days."

Joshua (2007)

"A tense, visually interesting tale that is ultimately a bit barren."

Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008)

"Flat and predictable, though the visuals are often striking."

Joyeux Noël (2006)

"The fraternal atmosphere speaks powerfully of the triumph of the human spirit."

Judge Dredd (1995)

"Never has such a big, dumb movie seemed so small, as it shrinks from Blade Runner sharp to Jetsonian junky."

Jumanji (1995)

"A calculated but very entertaining special effects extravaganza."

Junebug (2005)

"Junebug has the feel of a good short story or novella."

Jungle Book 2 (2003)

"The animation is lovely, but the simplistic story feels as if it were arrived at by committee after an hour-long meeting."

Jurassic Park III (2001)

"A lot of stagnant storytelling trapped underneath prehistoric footprints."

Jury Duty (1995)
