I Am David (2004) |
"Leaves you with the lingering scent of truth." |
Nancy Churnin |
Splat C+ |
I Am Legend (2007) |
"I admire the intent of Mr. Smith, who has made it his mission to mix escapist fare with socially relevant material. Legend seems to split the difference and land in the middle of nowhere. That's a lonely place for moviegoers to be." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato |
I Am Sam (2002) |
"Penn makes it easy to forgive the movie's lapses." |
Philip Wuntch |
Tomato B- |
I Am Trying to Break Your Heart (2002) |
"Fans of critics' darling band Wilco will marvel at the sometimes murky, always brooding look of I Am Trying to Break Your Heart." |
Mario Tarradell |
Tomato B+ |
I Capture the Castle (2003) |
"A refreshingly mature look at first love and life's often-rough transitions." |
Gary Dowell |
Splat |
I Dreamed of Africa (2000) |
"I Dreamed of Africa will leave you dozing." |
Philip Wuntch |
Tomato 3/5 |
I Hate Valentine's Day (2009) |
"It's like eating a plain Hershey's bar on that supposedly most romantic day of the year. It may soothe your sweet tooth for a brief bit, but you'll still be longing for Godiva." |
Joy Tipping |
Tomato B |
I Heart Huckabees (2004) |
"A heady, messy piece of existential angst that works against all odds." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato B+ |
I Live in Fear (1955) |
"A compelling look at postwar Japan as well as the onset of Cold War paranoia." |
Gary Dowell |
Tomato B- |
I Love You, Man (2009) |
"I Love You, Man feels like a clever concept in search of a completely developed movie." |
Christopher Kelly |
Splat F |
I Spy (2002) |
"The film hopes to emulate the frantic action of a good video game, but the best video games are carefully designed. I Spy, on the other hand, is a total wreck." |
Philip Wuntch |
Splat C+ |
I Think I Love My Wife (2007) |
"The movie never breaks the surface of its characters or their situation. And Mr. Rock's paint-by-numbers approach as director only compounds the movie's flat, formulaic feel." |
Tom Maurstad |
Splat |
I'll Be Home For Christmas (1998) |
"The Disney family flick is all sight gags and button-pushing to holiday tunes." |
|
Splat C+ |
I'll Sleep When I'm Dead (2004) |
"Unfortunately, the characters and their motivations are so poorly defined that the story seems vague and incomplete." |
Gary Dowell |
Tomato A- |
I'm Not Scared (2004) |
"A thriller of conviction, class and deceptive simplicity." |
Chris Vognar |
Splat C+ |
I'm Not There (2007) |
"I'm Not There would make a fine exercise for graduate school analysis. I'm just not sure how well it works as a movie." |
Chris Vognar |
Splat C+ |
I, Robot (2004) |
"I, Robot is yet another summer entree in which good intentions are stymied by excessive bric-a-brac." |
Philip Wuntch |
Tomato B |
Ice Age (2002) |
"Produced by 20th Century Fox, Ice Age falls short of classic status. But it's one of the best such features not to wear the Disney or DreamWorks banner." |
Philip Wuntch |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009) |
"This is true family fun. Not the two-tiered sort where there are potty jokes for the kids and pop culture references for the parents. Not only will everyone be laughing at the same time, they'll be laughing at the same things." |
Tom Maurstad |
Tomato B |
Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006) |
"Even when Meltdown melts down, it's still fun to look at." |

Ice Princess (2005) |

Identity (2003) |
"Effective, well-crafted chiller." |

Idle Hands (1999) |
"Creepy in all the wrong ways." |
Jane Sumner |

Idlewild (2006) |
"Despite some visual sparkle and musical razzle-dazzle, Idlewild is a messy movie." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato B+ |
Igby Goes Down (2002) |
"The sly, visceral and daring comedy with its startling opening and strong, magnetic cast has a lot going for it." |
Jane Sumner |
Tomato B |
Igor (2008) |
"You can think of it as an animated riff on the American dream: Our fate is determined not by the accident of our birth, but our own will, intelligence and talent. And let's not forget serendipity." |
Nancy Churnin |
Tomato A- |
The Illusionist (2006) |
"The Illusionist works magic and illusion with romantic panache." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato B- |
Imaginary Heroes (2004) |
"The ending leaves unanswered questions, but it offers enough substance to justify the nearly two-hour commitment." |
Mario Tarradell |
Splat C |
Imagine Me & You (2006) |
"The characterizations are wooden, the interaction maudlin and the plot totally predictable." |
Matt Weitz |

Importance of Being Earnest (2002) |
"This Earnest misses the play's biggest joke: There's nothing the least bit earnest about any of it." |
Chris Vognar |
Splat |
Impostor (2001) |
"An amalgam of The Fugitive, Blade Runner, and Total Recall, only without much energy or tension." |
Gary Dowell |
Tomato B |
In America (2003) |
"If the film is manipulative, at least it's subtly manipulative." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato B+ |
In Good Company (2004) |
"Heralds the official arrival of Topher Grace as a star in the making. The guy from TV's That '70s Show has the loose, lanky frame and unforced charm to go places in the movies." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato B+ |
In Her Shoes (2005) |
"It ultimately emerges as a movie of warmth, wit and wisdom." |

In Praise of Love (2001) |
"Feels like the work of an artist who is simply tired -- of fighting the same fights, of putting the weight of the world on his shoulders, of playing with narrative form." |
Chris Vognar |

In the Bedroom (2001) |
"A rare cinematic creature: a very depressing film that gives you a lift with the sheer magic of its craft." |
