Rating Title Year Quote Author

Tomato
3/4

Tadpole (2002)

"Tadpole is an irreverent and witty comedy in which the events aren't predictable but are well paced."

Claudia Puig

Splat
2/4

Take the Lead (2006)

"Think of it as the fictionalized version of last year's engaging documentary Mad Hot Ballroom, with teen dancers and sexier moves. It is also more formulaic and clichéd, thanks to the predictable plot and theme."

Claudia Puig

Tomato
2.5/4

Taken (2009)

"With some suspension of disbelief and a strong stomach, it's possible to get taken in, or at least absorbed, by this adrenaline-pumping action thriller."

Claudia Puig

Splat
1/4

Taking Lives (2004)

"From the opening credits, Lives seems bound to recapture the queasy mood of 1995's Seven. But it's too dull to even pull off quease until a notably unpleasant climax."

Mike Clark

Tomato
3/4

The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3 (2009)

"The new Pelham takes the chilling original premise and modifies it for an era steeped in technology, making for an energetic and engrossing adaptation."

Claudia Puig

Splat
2.5/4

Taking Woodstock (2009)

"Lee's movie captures the mellow mood and mud-caked faces of the crowd but misses the reverberations of the counterculture revolution that brought the great unwashed to that farm."

Claudia Puig

Tomato
2.5/4

The Tale of Despereaux (2008)

"While the story does not quite come to magical life, the themes of courage, hope and decency are sweetly inspiring."

Claudia Puig

Tomato
3.5/4

The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)

"A cast with unusual depth."

Mike Clark

Splat
1/4

Tales from the Crypt - Bordello of Blood (1996)

"This sickeningly puerile mess will be attractive only to teen boys who aren't too picky about special effects or scripts."

Splat
1.5/4

Tales From the Hood (1995)

"[This] predictably trite Tales isn't very scary."

Tomato
3.5/4

Talk to Her (2002)

"A simple plot description sounds bizarre and off-putting, but the movie, in Spanish with subtitles, is anything but."

Claudia Puig

Tomato
3/4

Talk to Me (2007)

"Speaks powerfully to audiences with its potent blend of extraordinary performances and engaging soundtrack."

Claudia Puig

Tomato
3/4

Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (2006)

"Though the movie about a moronic NASCAR racer overall is uneven and Ricky Bobby's saga lacks focus, the stupid-comical banter and the lampooning of this particular brand of car racing proves entertaining."

Claudia Puig

Splat

Tape (2001)

"Linklater's movie of a Stephen Belber play is for half its length a dull, two-character drama crying out for fresh blood."

Mike Clark

Tomato
4/4

Tarzan (1999)

"With Tarzan, Disney returns to the fertile ground of its reigning animated triumph, The Lion King, and unveils its most vibrant and virile hero in ages."

Susan Wloszczyna

Tomato
2.5/4

Taxi (2004)

"A surprisingly funny, female-driven romp -- as long as you don't question too many plot particulars."

Claudia Puig

Tomato
2.5/4

Teacher's Pet (2004)

"Teacher's Pet is no Finding Nemo, nor even Lilo and Stitch, but it is an enjoyable family film."

Claudia Puig

Splat
2/4

Teaching Mrs. Tingle (1999)

"Slow-moving."

Susan Wloszczyna

Tomato
3/4

Team America: World Police (2004)

"Team America is not as funny as the South Park movie, and some of its juvenile humor falls flat. But when Team America works, it falls squarely into the category of guilty pleasure."

Claudia Puig

Splat
2/4

Tears of the Sun (2003)

"The movie might have gotten a dramatic boost from its topical theme, indirect as it is. Unfortunately, it's not one-tenth as interesting as what you can see at home during a nightly cable surf as U.S. war policy is debated."

Claudia Puig

Tomato
3.5/4

Tell Them Who You Are (2005)

"What we really get from son Mark's unusual take is a sterling movie about fathers (especially famous fathers) and offspring."

Mike Clark

Tomato
2.5/4

Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny (2006)

"The movie lags on occasion, but it also has quite a few laughs."

Claudia Puig

Tomato
3/4

The Terminal (2004)

"If moviegoers suspend their disbelief -- easy enough thanks to the diverse and talented cast, as well as Spielberg's capable direction -- they're bound to enjoy this cinematic fantasy."

Claudia Puig

Splat

Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines (2003)

"Schwarzenegger still looks spectacular, but the script is short on deadpan zingers, and his heart doesn't seem in it."

Mike Clark

Splat
2/4

Terminator Salvation (2009)

"Few characters ever say more than a couple of sentences at a time, and when they do, it's often to assert the obvious."

Claudia Puig

Splat
2/4

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003)

"Junky and disposable but fast most of the time."

Mike Clark

Splat
1.5/4

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation (1994)

"The kind of cinematic endeavor where you suspect both cast and crew were obligated to bring their own beer."

Mike Clark

Tomato
3.5/4

Thank You For Smoking (2006)

"That quirky and intelligent rarity that elicits wry smiles and hearty laughs alike."

Claudia Puig

Splat
2/4

That Darn Cat (1997)

"The script trips all over itself to be hip and flip before it takes a desperate dip into utter conventionality: dull car chases, explosions, inept slapstick."

Susan Wloszczyna

Tomato
2.5/4

That Old Feeling (1997)

"Reiner benefits from divine intervention from no less than Miss M herself. Bette Midler flings the usual zingers with fang-baring zeal in a part that plays to her brassy strengths."

Mike Clark

Tomato
3/4

That Thing You Do! (1996)

"Hanks has good "Thing" going."

Mike Clark

Splat
1.5/4

The Clone Wars (2008)

"The story lacks narrative tension. The dialogue is stilted and overblown, a problem also in some of the live-action incarnations. That, combined with visuals that consistently lack punch, leaves little to engage us."

Claudia Puig

Splat
2/4

The Day the Earth Stood Still (2008)

"A good portion of this sci-fi disaster movie is unintentionally comical. And the parts that aren't funny are just plain dull."

Claudia Puig

Tomato
2.5/4

The Polar Express (2004)

"Simple and evocative, yet teeming with intriguing visual effects."

Claudia Puig

Tomato
2.5/4

Then She Found Me (2008)

"Hunt draws some good performances from the cast and wisely chose a low-key personal story for her directorial debut."

Claudia Puig

Tomato
3.5/4

There Will Be Blood (2007)

"There Will Be Blood is a bold and sprawling epic about false prophets and massive profits set in a stark and dramatic oil-rich landscape."

Claudia Puig

Tomato
3.5/4

There's Something About Mary (1998)

"A gut-busting blast of tasteless tomfoolery."

Susan Wloszczyna

Splat
1.5/4

The Thief And The Cobbler (1996)

"An Aladdin rip-off burdened by songs so dreadful that even Academy voters will refuse to nominate them."

Mike Clark

Tomato
3.5/4

Thieves (1996)

"Deneuve gives one of her best performances ever, though she's not exactly the movie's focus. Of the many pleasures here, one is trying to guess just who the dramatic focal point is."

Mike Clark

Splat
2/4

A Thin Line Between Love and Hate (1996)

"A Thin Line Between Love and Hate takes its name from the Persuaders 1971 hit that has been re-recorded by the Pretenders, Annie Lennox and H-Town. You could have just as much fun simply playing one of them and skipping the movie."

Andy Seiler

Tomato
3/4

Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead (1996)

"Yet another debut about urban lowlifes filmed by wanna-be Tarantinos, Denver boasts a distinctive personality and a colorful cast that any police lineup would be proud to call its own."

Mike Clark

Tomato
3/4

Things We Lost in the Fire (2007)

"Its deliberate pacing may put some viewers off, as will the bleakness of the subject matter, but it's worth seeing, mostly to soak up the complex shades of Del Toro's performance."

Claudia Puig

Splat
2.5/4

Thirst (2009)

"Thirst is at least a half-hour too long. The story goes off course with pointless distractions and feeds on non-stop grisliness."

Claudia Puig

Tomato
4/4

Thirteen (2003)

"It's tough to recall the last such drama that packed as much emotional clout."

Mike Clark

Tomato
3/4

Thirteen Days (2000)

"Bruce Greenwood is exceptional as JFK -- quite a surprise after his smarmy villainous turns in Double Jeopardy and Rules of Engagement."

Mike Clark

Splat

Thirteen Ghosts (2001)

"Ghosts is too distinctive-looking to dismiss out of hand, but it would help to be able to look through a magic viewfinder (or maybe magic eraser) and make its script disappear."

Mike Clark

Tomato
2.5/4

This Christmas (2007)

"There is a familiar quality to the multi-generational family holiday homecoming that nicely blends drama and comedy. It's a cut above the standard heartwarming fare that fills theaters this time of year."

Claudia Puig

Tomato
3/4

This Film is Not Yet Rated (2006)

"A fascinating look at the clandestine organization that passes judgment on a movie's acceptability to youthful moviegoers."

Claudia Puig

Splat

Thomas and the Magic Railroad (2000)

"Witless and inert."

Mike Clark

Thomas Crown Affair, The (1999)

"Brosnan's Crown Affair Sequel Should Arrive in '09"

Susan Wloszczyna
