Tomato 3/4 |
Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002) |
"Its portrait of a corrosive national policy of racial superiority is as much a window as it is a mirror and is unsettling in a too-familiar way." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Race to Witch Mountain (2009) |
"It's all fairly enjoyable, but also predictable and occasionally corny." |
Sue Pierman |
Tomato 4/4 |
Rachel Getting Married (2008) |
"A life- and love-affirming work of artistry and compassion." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Racing Stripes (2005) |
"An entertaining, sentimental film." |
Meg Jones |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Radio (2003) |
"Although it succumbs to overt audience manipulation when the story loses steam, Radio tunes in some solid performances from a skilled cast, led by Cuba Gooding Jr. and Ed Harris." |
Mack Bates |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Raise Your Voice (2004) |
"McNamara seems to have no idea about how to move things along at a pace designed to keep us interested." |
Sue Pierman |
Splat 2/4 |
Raising Flagg (2007) |
"Crusty characters, a bluegrass soundtrack and a dysfunctional family that could exist only in the minds of Hollywood screenwriters make this film more precious than real -- or funny." |
Meg Jones |
Splat 1/4 |
Raising Helen (2004) |
"Yet another example of re-mining movie territory whether it's capable of producing more material or not." |
Sue Pierman |
Tomato 3/4 |
Raising Victor Vargas (2003) |
"A coming-of-age story in which tenderness is silent but runs deep." |
Duane Dudek |
Splat |
Random Hearts (1999) |
"Passionless and predictable!" |
Nick Carter |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Rape Of Europa (2007) |
"The Rape of Europa presents iconic images that viewers who aren't schooled in European art will recognize. That's a good way to connect with the film and understand the enormity of the pillage by Hitler and his cronies." |
Tim Cuprisin |
Tomato |
Rat Race (2001) |
"There's enough slapstick to keep fans of Zucker's Airplane style happy." |
Jackie Loohauis |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ratatouille (2007) |
"One of the most beautiful and complex digital films yet, layered with detail and atmosphere and dimensionally rich and fluid." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ray (2004) |
"Its drama is often turgid, but its musical sequences are spectacular. And you couldn't ask for a better soundtrack." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3/4 |
Read My Lips (2002) |
"Although it has thriller elements, Read My Lips is more of a straightforward caper film with substantial personal interaction." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Reader (2008) |
"Winslet gives a searing performance, one that often finds her unselfconsciously naked, as a woman who is willing to share her body and heart, but never the secret that defines her." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato |
Ready to Rumble (2000) |
"There's actually some above-average stuff in the film." |
Sue Pierman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Real Cancun (2003) |
"The simple fact of the matter is that there is nothing new here." |
Paul Doro |
Tomato 3/4 |
Real Women Have Curves (2002) |
"What better message than 'love thyself' could young women of any size receive?" |
Duane Dudek |
Splat 2/4 |
The Reaping (2007) |
"The film uses every contrived scary-movie trick to jar the audience -- doors suddenly blow open, a hand reaches out in the middle of the woods and characters fumble around in the dark." |
Stanley A. Miller II |
Splat 2/4 |
Rebound (2005) |
"Rebound could easily have been written by a sophisticated computer program." |
Paul Doro |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Reckoning (2004) |
"A well-done murder mystery." |
Meg Jones |
Splat 2/4 |
The Recruit (2003) |
"The Recruit epitomizes the phrase 'genre filler.'" |
Nick Carter |
Tomato 3/4 |
Red Betsy (2003) |
"Reminds us to treasure the not-so-distant past like it was a family heirloom." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Red Dragon (2002) |
"The perverse allure and straitjacket structure of Red Dragon resists any efforts to make it more than what it is and exactly what you expect. That it succeeds on this level is a triumph of limited expectations." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Red Eye (2005) |
"A reliable addition to Craven's canon, despite some shaky scriptwriting and ludicrous developments." |
Piet Levy |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Red Lights (2004) |
"A peculiar and occasionally engaging thriller that unfortunately lacks thrills." |
Paul Doro |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Red Road (2007) |
"The glacially paced film is tersely episodic, and scenes are thrown onto the screen like jagged bits of raw meat that have been torn from a bone." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3/4 |
Redbelt (2008) |
"Redbelt offers front-row tickets to the fixed cage match between currency and purity, and Mamet lets the audience feel every punch." |
Duane Dudek |
Splat 2.5/4 |

Splat 2/4 |
Reign of Fire (2002) |
"The film is not stingy with effects, and its hermetic atmosphere is effectively realized, but leaves the film so spare of air that combustion never leads to conflagration." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Reign Over Me (2007) |
"Cheadle and Sandler are not names I would have expected to hear together as an effective buddy-picture pairing, but they work." |
Cathy Jakicic |
Splat |
Reindeer Games (2000) |
"You are sorely tempted to laugh and call it names." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3/4 |
Religulous (2008) |
"If you can accept the comedian and talk show host's ill-mannered shtick and can stand a robust lecture from someone who speaks critically of what others hold sacred, Religulous will reinforce what you already think." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato |
Remember the Titans (2000) |
"Inspirational and moving." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Renaissance (2006) |
"If you have the time and densely plotted potboilers are your thing, it's worth the trip." |
Mack Bates |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Rendition (2007) |
"It stirs sympathy for one man's plight but little passion over the policy that imprisoned him." |
Duane Dudek |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Rent (2005) |
"The film should please fans who helped make the play a hit and its soundtrack a bestseller -- but it is unlikely to spread the love to many new converts." |
Duane Dudek |
Splat |
The Replacements (2000) |
"The game scenes have little coherence or momentum." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3/4 |
Reprise (2008) |
"Reprise alternately shows punk energy, library hush and comic anxiety. And despite ominous portents, the ending is cockeyed optimistic." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato |
Requiem for a Dream (2000) |
"A contact high in its own right." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3/4 |
Rescue Dawn (2007) |
"Although the drama is taut and terrifically acted, it is pretty standard fare." |
Duane Dudek |
Splat 2/4 |
Reservation Road (2007) |
"The bulk of the movie rings false." |
Michele Kenner |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Respiro (2003) |
"After 90 minutes of policing female sexuality, the film is left with little to say on the matter." |
Kevin John Bozelka |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Resurrecting the Champ (2007) |
"Resurrecting the Champ leaves a lot to be desired as a boxing movie. And compared with newsroom drama champs like Shattered Glass and Absence of Malice, it is undercard-caliber material." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Return (2004) |
"Part road trip, part survivalist adventure and part battle of wills as seen through the eyes of the boys." |
Duane Dudek |
Tomato |
Return to Me (2000) |
"A warm, funny film that depicts a deep-dish slice of life a la Sweet Home Chicago, and we eat it up. You may even want seconds." |
Sue Pierman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Return to Never Land (2002) |
"Return to Never Land may be another shameless attempt by Disney to rake in dough from baby boomer families, but it's not half-bad." |
Sue Pierman |
Tomato 3/4 |
Revanche (2009) |
"Artful, suspenseful and utterly engaging, Revanche is also challenging and arguably one of the most mature dramas to hit art houses this year." |
Steve Ramos |
Tomato 3/4 |
Revolutionary Road (2008) |
"The result also has the authentic quality of real people clinging to the aphorisms and going through the motions demanded by the situation and the times, all of which is bathed in lush regret by cinematographer Roger Deakins." |
Duane Dudek |
