U-571 (2000) |
"Its perspective is that of a well-drawn, reasonably thoughtful comic strip." |
Philip Wuntch |
Tomato B |
U2 3D (2008) |
"A glasses-required experiment that pushes the boundaries of the concert doc yet keeps one foot planted in the conventional concrete. Rarely has a film attained such moments of exhilaration while also leaving the viewer with some level of disappointment." |
Stephen Becker |
Tomato B+ |
Uber Goober (2004) |
"You'll laugh just watching it, and the absurdity is equally apparent to the participants." |
Victor Godinez |
Splat 2/5 |
The Ugly Truth (2009) |
"The truth is this movie is ugly, in spirit and execution." |
Tom Maurstad |
Tomato B+ |
Ultimate X: The Movie (2002) |
"Great fun both for sports aficionados and for ordinary louts whose idea of exercise is climbing the steps of a stadium-seat megaplex." |

Unbreakable (2000) |
"Ponderous, pretentious and self-indulgent, it nonetheless puts Mr. Shyamalan's technical prowess on display. Still, you'll wonder if the pay-off was worth the journey." |
Philip Wuntch |
Tomato C+ |
Uncovered: The War on Iraq (2004) |
"Packs a powerful punch if you're ready for a lesson in foreign policy." |
Charles Ealy |
Splat |
Under Suspicion (2000) |
"It's never as good as it should be, with occasional moments of brilliance overshadowed by the gimmicky direction of Stephen Hopkins." |

Under the Sand (2001) |
"It crawls under the skin by placing you firmly in the shoes of the mourner." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato B+ |
Under the Skin of the City (2003) |
"Ms. Bani-Etemad seems to have a firm hand on the social pulse on her nation, particularly the slowly changing roles of women in a place where change is eyed with both desire and suspicion." |

Under the Sun (2001) |
"What's most surprising -- and enjoyable -- is Under the Sun's earnestness and simplicity." |
Gary Dowell |
Splat C+ |
Under the Tuscan Sun (2003) |
"A predictable lightweight comedy-drama that believes in second chances, risk-taking and loving a house." |
Jane Sumner |
Tomato C+ |
Undercover Brother (2002) |
"It's short, painless and likely to make even tough comedy customers laugh out loud a few times." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato B+ |
Undertow (2004) |
"A taut piece of Southern Gothic from Richardson native David Gordon Green." |
Chris Vognar |
Splat C+ |
Underworld (2003) |
"It's slick and technically well made, but also derivative and slow." |

Splat C- |
Underworld: Evolution (2006) |
"... Underworld: Evolution registers visually but isn't alive enough to cast a reflection or shadow." |
Matt Weitz |
Tomato B- |
Undisputed (2002) |
"While Undisputed isn't exactly a high, it is a gripping, tidy little movie that takes Mr. Hill higher than he's been in a while." |
Gary Dowell |
Splat C+ |
Unfaithful (2002) |
"Diane Lane shines in Unfaithful. Almost everything else is wan." |

An Unfinished Life (2005) |
"This film's plot mechanics become too, well, mechanical." |

United 93 (2006) |
"United 93 is an exhausting but commanding work of art." |
Chris Vognar |
Tomato B- |
The United States of Leland (2004) |
"The performances range from solid to excellent (Mr. Gosling and Mr. Donovan are among the standouts), and the ubiquitous teen angst is handled with a minimum of condescension." |
Chris Vognar |
Splat |
Universal Soldier: The Return (1999) |
"Judging from uniformly bottom-rung acting, the cast had some sort of pool going to see who could turn in the most ludicrously awful performance." |
Tom Maurstad |
Tomato B- |
Unknown White Male (2005) |
"Unknown White Male has moments you won't forget, appropriate praise for a documentary about amnesia." |
Philip Wuntch |
Tomato 5/5 |
Up (2009) |
"It propels the viewer up, up and away in an experience combining smart, imaginative storytelling with dazzling dreamlike visuals, creating an experience that is the special province of animation -- at once utterly convincing and completely impossible." |
Tom Maurstad |
Splat |
Up at the Villa (2000) |
"The question is, why should audiences care? Apart from some beautiful scenic photography, this film gives them little reason to." |
Philip Wuntch |
Tomato B |
Up for Grabs (2005) |
"Up for Grabs may be the perfect sports doc for this me-first day and age." |
Chris Vognar |

Uptown Girls (2003) |

Urban Legend (1998) |

Urban Legends: Final Cut (2000) |
