Nacho Libre (2006) |
"What is missing in plot and character development is made up for in silly fun." |
Claudia Puig |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Namesake (2007) |
"Nair has taken a fascinating piece of literature and woven a rich cultural tapestry for the screen. The Namesake elicits laughter and tears in its profound and emotionally resonant family portrait." |
Claudia Puig |
Splat 2/4 |
Nancy Drew (2007) |
"The fish-out-of-water jokes often fall flat." |
Scott Bowles |
Splat 2/4 |
The Nanny Diaries (2007) |
"A film that is even more lightweight and clichéd than the fluff that was the best-selling book." |
Claudia Puig |
Tomato 3/4 |
Nanny McPhee (2006) |
"... an appealing tale of youthful empowerment and whimsy." |
Claudia Puig |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Napoleon Dynamite (2004) |
"In Fourth of July terms, its pop is less dynamite than firecracker." |
Mike Clark |
Tomato 3/4 |
Narc (2002) |
"This may be the most uncompromisingly raw police drama since Across 110th Street, starring Anthony Quinn and Yaphet Kotto." |
Mike Clark |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
NASCAR: The Imax Experience (2004) |
"IMAX and NASCAR have to be one of the most harmonious match-ups since Elvis and a guitar." |
Mike Clark |
Splat 1/4 |
National Lampoon's Van Wilder (2002) |
"The movie ends with outtakes in which most of the characters forget their lines and just utter 'uhhh,' which is better than most of the writing in the movie." |
Claudia Puig |
Splat 2.5/4 |
National Security (2003) |
"An action farce that's on the stale side of banter-heavy cop high jinks." |
Mike Clark |
Splat 1.5/4 |
National Treasure (2004) |
"Ten minutes into the picture, you're searching the screen for life-support machines." |
Mike Clark |
Splat 2/4 |
National Treasure 2 : Book of Secrets (2007) |
"This sequel is what you would expect: If you liked the original, you'll probably enjoy this retread. But be warned: It bogs down in a drawn-out scene near the end." |
Claudia Puig |
Splat 2/4 |
The Nativity Story (2006) |
"It's not exactly the dullest story ever told, but it's certainly not the greatest." |
Claudia Puig |
Splat 2/4 |
Ned Kelly (2004) |
"Monotonous and drags toward the end." |

Neil Young - Heart of Gold (2006) |
"The mesmerizing, heart-tugging concert film Heart of Gold confirms Neil Young's stature as a national treasure." |
Claudia Puig |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Net (1995) |
"Reminiscent of a slew of films, including The Pelican Brief and The Fugitive, The Net -- ploddingly directed by Irwin Winkler -- is frustratingly average in almost every other respect." |
Susan Wloszczyna |
Splat 2/4 |
Never Die Alone (2004) |
"DMX isn't up to the acting needed to play an epic anti-hero, but then director/ex-cinematographer Ernest Dickerson never makes Never very epic on any level." |
Mike Clark |
Splat 1/4 |
New in Town (2009) |
"It follows a particularly abhorrent Hollywood formula: Ridicule the friendly, rural folks, show how stupid they are, then by the end, place their small-town values and inherent decency on a pedestal." |
Claudia Puig |
Splat 2/4 |
The New World (2005) |
"The ponderous narrative lacks so much focus that it will likely leave most viewers squirming in their seats." |
Claudia Puig |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The New World (2005) |
"That sound you're about to hear is the cracking of spines as Terrence Malick enthusiasts like me bend over backward trying to cut The New World a break." |
Mike Clark |
Splat 2/4 |
New York Minute (2004) |
"Even more insipid than you'd guess, Minute is infrequently made bearable by the cutie-quotient of its richer-than-sin leads." |
Mike Clark |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
New York, I Love You (2009) |
"If you're not a stickler for consistency, this is an effective pastiche and tribute to one of the world's most enticing cities." |

Next (2007) |

The Next Best Thing (2000) |
"Madonna still cannot act." |
Susan Wloszczyna |
Splat 2/4 |
Next Day Air (2009) |
"Next Day Air can't decide whether it's a broad stoner comedy or a gritty Tarantino-esque action flick. The humor is there, but violence brings the laughter to an abrupt halt." |
Claudia Puig |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Next Friday (1999) |
"Most of the humor is about as fresh as the air left behind whenever Witherspoon uses a toilet." |
Susan Wloszczyna |
Tomato 3/4 |
Nicholas Nickleby (2002) |
"This mid-19th century tale of survival after the death of a parent is still compelling today, and its message of strength and the importance of family continues to resonate." |
Claudia Puig |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008) |
"Not only is their playlist worth a listen, but Nick and Norah are surprisingly good company with whom to spend a long night in the city." |
Claudia Puig |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Nick of Time (1995) |
"The most preposterous movie in theaters isn't the Ace Ventura sequel (or even Money Train) but this wanna-be nail-biter." |
Mike Clark |

Night at the Museum (2006) |
"If only family comedies would evolve and not assume that a good concept, convincing special effects and a strong cast automatically add up to fun." |

Night Falls on Manhattan (1996) |
"Its maker's best since 1988's Running on Empty and maybe even '82's The Verdict." |

The Night Listener (2006) |
"The Night Listener reveals itself in a grippingly quiet and enigmatic style reminiscent of Hitchcock." |

Night of the Living Dead (1968) |
"Romero Promises "A Lot of Action" in Next Dead" |
|
Splat 2/4 |
Night Watch (2005) |
"Ultimately, it's a formulaic, predictable take on a Hollywood staple: the vampire horror film. That's a pretty tired genre, no matter what language it's told in." |
Claudia Puig |
Splat 2/4 |
Nights in Rodanthe (2008) |
"Though the stars are likable and attractive, the movie is a melodramatic and soppy affair." |

Nim's Island (2008) |
"Nim's Island is a win-win proposition: an entertaining, diverting adventure saga that offers excitement and a relatable heroine for children, and also will remind their parents of favorite classics from their own youth." |
Claudia Puig |
Splat 2/4 |
Nine Months (1995) |
"Writer/director Chris Columbus delivers his usual slapstick and sap shtick, but the sitcom-slick results fall flat." |
|
Splat |
The Ninth Gate (1999) |
"The script is so bereft of real surprises that it's best to keep the lid on what few there are." |
Mike Clark |
Tomato 3/4 |
Nixon (1995) |
"Joan Allen goes beyond her chilling physical resemblance to Pat Nixon toward serious Oscar worthiness." |
Mike Clark |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
No Country for Old Men (2007) |

No Man's Land (2001) |
"The movie's insights let the movie get away with its wartime irreverence." |
Mike Clark |

No Reservations (2007) |
"No Reservations is worth penciling in to your schedule, though it's more guilty diversion than memorable feast." |
Claudia Puig |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Noise (2008) |
"Amid the seasonal din of so many raucous summer blockbusters, Noise offers blessed relief in the form of a strong central performance, sharp dialogue and edgy humor." |
