Lawrence Toppman |
Tomato 3/4 |
Elf (2003) |
"Even when he's being a prize idiot, eating chewed gum stuck on a subway entrance or walking in front of a moving cab, Ferrell stays peculiarly endearing." |

Tomato 2/4 |
Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007) |
"Those of us who looked forward to this second installment of a planned trilogy may now dread the third." |
Lawrence Toppman |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Elizabethtown (2005) |
"At least Elizabethtownalways looks and sounds appealing." |

Splat 2/4 |
Ella Enchanted (2004) |
"The script is a patchwork quilt: sometimes winsome, sometimes wisecracking, sometimes serious, usually just silly." |
Lawrence Toppman |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Emperor's Club (2002) |
"[Presents] a truer and more touching picture of the classroom." |
Lawrence Toppman |
Splat |
The Emperor's New Clothes (2002) |
"Presents an intriguing concept ... without developing the idea in a believable or amusing way." |
Lawrence Toppman |
Tomato |
The Emperor's New Groove (2000) |
"Since Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck and Porky Pig seem to be retired from feature films ... Emperor will do nicely as a substitute." |
Lawrence Toppman |
Tomato 3/4 |
Employee of the Month (2006) |
"First-time director Greg Coolidge packs his cast with quirky bit players, crisp physical humor that doesn't involve dented noggins and more than a few references that require you to think." |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
Enchanted (2007) |
"Enchanted charmingly reworks all the old [Disney] favorites while incorporating fresh twists of its own." |

"The usual movie rah-rah, pleasantly and predictably delivered in low-key style by director Michael Apted and writer Tom Stoppard." |
Lawrence Toppman |
Splat 2/4 |
Enough (2002) |
"This is the kind of movie where people who have never picked a lock do so easily after a few tries and become expert fighters after a few weeks." |
Lawrence Toppman |
Splat |
Entrapment (1999) |
"Handsome, hollow and dramatically flat." |
Lawrence Toppman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Equilibrium (2002) |
"Someone should have arrested Wimmer for being a common-sense offender when he first typed the script." |
Lawrence Toppman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Eragon (2006) |
"This knockoff simply follows its peril-rescue-triumph pattern to the inconclusive end and comes to a galumphing stop by hinting at two more sequels." |
Lawrence Toppman |
Tomato 3/4 |
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) |
"Daffy, gratifyingly inventive." |
Lawrence Toppman |
Tomato 3/4 |
Eurotrip (2004) |
"I'd have sworn I'd never laugh again at somebody assaulting a mime, but this goofy comedy makes even that ancient concept fresh." |

Splat 2/4 |
Evan Almighty (2007) |
"Carell's funniest when he isn't trying to be Jim Carrey, but he gamely goes along with kicks to the groin and smacks to the head." |
Lawrence Toppman |
Splat 2/4 |
Everything is Illuminated (2005) |
"Schreiber was smart enough to cut the 40 percent of the novel dealing with Trochimbrod's twisted history, but he couldn't assemble the remaining pieces into a satisfying whole." |
Lawrence Toppman |
Splat |
Evolution (2001) |
"Duchovny sleepwalks, as he has in every film; if he's never more alert than this, I can't imagine how he got a driver's license." |
Lawrence Toppman |
Splat 2/4 |
The Ex (2007) |
"You can pinpoint the exact moment when The Ex loses its nerve, strangeness and soul." |
Lawrence Toppman |
Tomato 3/4 |
