Splat 2/5 |
The Da Vinci Code (2006) |
"Ron Howard doesn't so much solve The Da Vinci Code as preserve it under glass. It's a bloodless best-seller adaptation, competent but uninspiring, rather like the vast bulk of Howard's long filmography." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1/5 |
Daddy Day Camp (2007) |
"Gates and Rae are game, but not funny in the least. The kids are stereotypes, and not particularly amusing ones." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Daddy Day Care (2003) |
"It's pitched at kids, but adults will be guffawing too." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 3/5 |
Daddy's Little Girls (2007) |
"[Perry's] gotten comfortable behind the camera. And without Madea, his obese, smart-mouthed alter-ego auntie, to portray, the man in the dress shows he really can direct." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Damned United (2009) |
"The Damned United is a most entertaining study in obsession wrapped in a traditional sports movie." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Dan in Real Life (2007) |
"The heart is there, and the message gets you." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Dance Flick (2009) |
"All the Wayans in the world (Keenen Ivory Wayans and the least funny of the gang, Shawn Wayans, were lead Wayans' in the all-Wayans script) can't keep this from running out of mildly amusing ideas after 40 minutes." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
The Dancer Upstairs (2003) |
"The Dancer Upstairs is, like its director, sleek, mysterious and intelligent. But until its last-half hour or so, it is also, unfortunately, mind-numbing." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys (2002) |
"Although fairly involving as far as it goes, the film doesn't end up having much that is fresh to say about growing up Catholic or, really, anything." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 2/5 |
Danny Deckchair (2004) |
"Balsmeyer may remind you of the guy at the party who, after one too many shots, puts a lampshade on his head. It's funny for maybe a moment -- until you realize, to your horror, that he doesn't know when to stop." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 3/5 |
Daredevil (2003) |
"The action almost never stops, which is both Daredevil's biggest asset and its greatest shortcoming." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Darjeeling Limited (2007) |
"The whimsy of it all does a passable job of covering the dull stretches, and the actors, to a one (Bill Murray has a cameo, Anjelica Huston shows up) make it watchable." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Dark Blue (2003) |
"Dark Blue is a bit of a mess, but like the Rodney King mess, it makes you think. Any film that accomplishes that can never be out-of-date." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Dark Knight (2008) |
"It's still too long, especially for a comic-book movie. But with Ledger's last performance director Nolan was blessed with the gift of light." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Dark Water (2005) |
"It's so lacking in heartfelt frights or cheap scares that the few real hair-raising moments, in the finale, don't pay off." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Darkness Falls (2003) |
"The best thing to be said for Darkness Falls is that it contains one decent piece of advice: Stay in the light. When the lights are on, after all, this movie won't be shown." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 4/5 |
Darwin's Nightmare (2006) |
"This, Sauper's film says without words, is what the human race has evolved into -- the developed world preying on the undeveloped to the extent that people suffer and die so that two million fillets a day are available to Euro-diners." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1/5 |
Date Movie (2006) |
"It's not enough to just make the reference. You've got to make something funny out of the reference." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
Dave Chappelle's Block Party (2006) |
"It's intermittently funny, but it peaks too soon and runs far too long. And for all its length, Block Party doesn't tell us much about Chappelle that we haven't seen before." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1/5 |
Dawn of the Dead (2004) |
"Save your quarters for the video game." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Day After Tomorrow (2004) |
"Global warming is no joke, but this is pretty silly stuff. Still, the special effects are impressive and some of the ironies are amusing." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 4/5 |
Day Watch (2007) |
"Maybe they didn't invent the vampire movie. But thanks to Night Watch and now Day Watch, the Russians certainly have the last word in it." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
De-Lovely (2004) |
"Porter's songs keep much the film afloat when, otherwise, it would have sunk. No matter how turgid or murky the movie becomes, when the music starts, you're flying." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Dead Girl (2006) |
"Murphy, devouring a bad girl role to go with her image, makes her the most alive person in what is most certainly not your typical Hollywood serial killer movie." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Dear Frankie (2005) |
"A bittersweet bonbon of a drama, full of the old fashioned literary touches that a well-written letter still can deliver in the age of e-mail." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Death at a Funeral (2007) |
"No, there aren't a lot of surprise giggles in it. But at this Funeral, the pleasure is in seeing those giggles coming." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Death Race (2008) |
" Of all the Z-movies in the Roger Corman catalog, they had to remake Death Race 2000." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Death Sentence (2007) |
"An unsatisfying and not-that-smart vigilante thriller." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Death to Smoochy (2002) |
"This kind of dark comedy requires a delicate, surgical touch. But director Danny DeVito and screenwriter Adam Resnick (remember Cabin Boy?) just pound away." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 3/5 |
Deception (2008) |
"Never less than watchable." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1/5 |
Deck the Halls (2006) |
"Does anybody in Hollywood celebrate Christmas anymore? You have to wonder, with the woeful Christmas fare that has been hurled at us the past few years." |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
Deep Blue Sea (1999) |
"This is one of those ridiculous movies in which people stand around mouthing cliches and weak jokes as they await the next attack." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 3/5 |
Defiance (2008) |
"As corny and downright flirtatious as this 'Holocaust drama' gets, it's still a vivid and heroic look at a side of that tragedy that we haven't seen before." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
Definitely, Maybe (2008) |
"[Adam] Brooks' movie has romantic ambition, something lacking in Hollywood romantic comedies of late. But he has made a slow-footed, long-winded comedy with more grins than laughs, an arm's-length romance with a real eye-roller of an ending." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Deja Vu (2006) |
"Washington and Scott manage to make Deja Vu perfectly watchable, no matter how many times we've seen this before." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1/5 |
Delgo (2008) |
" The animation's not bad. But the staggeringly complicated Tolkien-C.S. Lewis setting, the reptilian leads and the faded fairy-tale plot skewer poor Delgo before we have a chance to figure out what's going on here and why." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Delirious (2007) |
"For all its time-worn situations and observations, Delirious has a truth or two to impart about our lust for celebrities." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1/5 |
Deliver Us From Eva (2003) |
"Union's performance is, unfortunately, even more insufferable than the character of Eva is supposed to be." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 1/5 |
Delta Farce (2007) |
"The story: Georgia 'weekend warriors' are shipped off to Iraq and somehow, between Georgia and Fallujah, the plane taking them dumps them into Mexico. No, the screenwriter didn't know how to read a map." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Departed (2006) |
"The Departed is Scorsese's most entertaining picture in years, dense, violent (more of his screen sadism played for laughs), and satisfying." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 5/5 |
Departures (2009) |
"Departures is a loving tribute to the Japanese way of death." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Derailed (2005) |
"As male guilt and vengeance fantasies go, Derailed has its moments of righteous comeuppance." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Descent (2006) |
"This grueling trapped-in-a-cave-with-boogey-men movie is a solid thriller, and a terrific horror experience." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1/5 |
Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo (2005) |
"Least imaginative of all -- the TV-commercial director they hired to film it. Yeah, his name is Bigelow, Mike Bigelow. That must have been a real knee-slapper of a meeting." |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo (1999) |
"Rob Schneider, its star, and Adam Sandler, its producer, keep finding new and wondrous answers to that limbo stick question, 'How low can you go?'" |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1/5 |
Deuces Wild (2002) |
"The exploitative, clumsily staged violence overshadows everything, including most of the actors." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Devil Wears Prada (2006) |
"The Devil Wears Prada is sassy, smart and sophisticated, a Working Girl for the new millennium." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato |
The Devil's Backbone (2001) |
"The chills and suspense and graphic violence are leavened with the horror that comes from knowing the victims -- and knowing they are undeserving of their fate." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1/5 |
The Devil's Rejects (2005) |
"Hear this futile plea: Look in the mirror, Zombie. Show some class. Making people sick is no way to make a name for yourself. Even a fake name." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Diamond Men (2001) |
"Pacing and story problems aside, this is as fine a showcase for Forster, Armstrong and Wahlberg as they could want, a real actor's picture." |
Roger Moore |
