The Adventures of Pinocchio (1996)

"It's the woodsy children's movie Walt Disney didn't want to make: chockablock with mischievous mayhem and light on the sap."

Anna and the King (1999)

"It is pleasant, occasionally amusing -- and often dull."

A Scanner Darkly (2006)

"A Scanner Darkly is a visually riveting mind-bender inspired by drug-induced experiences."

Accepted (2006)

"Accepted is trying to be a new species of Animal House, but at least that 1978 comedy had no pretensions of being more than a boisterous spoof of college life."

Adam (2009)

"Adam is a cut above most romances and boasts a intriguing conclusion. One comes away with a sense of hope, leavened by realism."

Adventureland (2009)

"While Adventureland may shift moods suddenly and meander, the highlight is Eisenberg's ability to endearingly convey gawkiness and mortification."

After Hours (1985)

Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London (2004)

"Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London is simply not worth the trip."

Akeelah and the Bee (2006)

"... it's easy to overlook that contrivance, because the movie's heart is so clearly in the right place."

Alien Trespass (2009)

"Alien Trespass, which opens Friday on the heels of the witty Monsters vs. Aliens, feels like an also-ran."

All About the Benjamins (2002)

"The action clichés just pile up."

Alpha Dog (2007)

"Alpha Dog is almost a sociological study of a youthful culture awash in freedom and steeped in violence, drugs, casual sex and offensive language. It also shines a light on parents who have abdicated their positions of guidance and discipline."

Amelia (2009)

"Amelia goes airborne but never fully soars. It's hampered by a too-reverential portrait of the record-breaking aviator."

America's Heart and Soul (2004)

"Though America's Heart & Soul doesn't break new ground, its apolitical tone and diverse cast may be a tonic for those tired of our country's divisive climate."

American Dreamz (2006)

"American Dreamz lampoons the public's appetite for mindless entertainment and easy distraction from serious concerns."

American Teen (2008)

"Revealing, funny and involving."

Amreeka (2009)

"This slice of American life, as seen through the eyes of Palestinian immigrants, is nuanced, engaging and authentically observed."

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)

"That he can make his anchorman chauvinistic, deluded and ridiculous but still manage to give him some humanity is testimony to Ferrell's comic talents."

Angel-A (2007)

"Visually arresting but flawed. Its strongest asset is the stunningly poetic cinematography by Thierry Arbogast."

The Answer Man (2009)

"The implausible Answer Man offers little clarity but plenty of far-fetched scenarios and credibility-defying coincidences."

Antichrist (2009)

"The movie immerses itself in the darkest despair imaginable, blending dystopian porn with ghastly horror and graphic violence. But it's all done in a mundane, almost clinical way."

Anvil! The Story of Anvil (2009)

"The biggest surprise is not the pervasive comedy in this compelling rockumentary. It's the poignant, even heartbreaking, moments that sneak up on you as the saga unfolds."

Appaloosa (2008)

"It's a pleasure to watch such gifted actors interact in a classic genre."

Arctic Tale (2007)

"Whatever problems some might have with its execution, it's hard to argue against a film whose intent is to kindle youthful compassion for living things and inspire action to protect Earth and its creatures."

Are We There Yet? (2005)

"Never arrives at any entertaining destination."
