Tomato 4/5 |
L'Enfant (2006) |
"A simple moral fable told with compassion and nerve." |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
L.I.E. (2001) |
"Recoiling from L.I.E. is a very human, and frankly a very responsible, reaction." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 5/5 |
La Dolce Vita (1960) |
"It's a comic, cutting and prophetic poem to Rome, movie stars, gossip and the lifestyles we have hungered to know more about ever since the first 'celebrity.'" |
Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
La Vie En Rose (2007) |
"La Vie is a movie so frantic to get to it all that nothing is more than touched on." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Ladder 49 (2004) |
"Every cliché in every movie or TV show about firemen is recycled here but often to pleasant effect." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Ladies in Lavender (2005) |
"It's a British period piece, full of the sylvan Cornish coast and countryside, vintage motorcars, steam threshers and sensibilities. Pity they left out a compelling plot." |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
The Ladies Man (2000) |
"Though he’s worth a chuckle in a sketch, neither Leon nor Meadows is interesting enough to build a movie around." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Ladron que Roba a Ladron (To Rob a Thief) (2007) |
"A long overdue Hollywood overture to America's Latino immigrant community." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1/5 |
Lady in the Water (2006) |
"Lady is the height of folly, an endeavor as wrongheaded as The Postman, as foolish as any 'vanity' project of the past 20 years." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 5/5 |
Ladykillers (2004) |
"The Coens have taken what's timeless about the 1955 movie, rolled it around in their endlessly inventive comic minds and made it distinctly, and riotously, their own." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 3/5 |
The Lake House (2006) |
"It doesn't quite work, but it fails with warmth." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Lakeboat (2001) |
"Watching it, you come to understand what it is that Mamet has been true to all these years." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 4/5 |
Lakeview Terrace (2008) |
"Well acted and tautly directed, it's a movie whose juice is its realism, the easily recognizable situation, the paranoia that any homeowner can identify with." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Land of the Lost (2009) |
"Stupid on an epic scale or epic on a stupid one, Land of the Lost is as close as Will Ferrell comes these days to a 'kid friendly' movie." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Lantana (2001) |
"Lawrence cast well and gets terrific performances all the way up and down the line." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1/5 |
Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003) |
"This has less plot and worse acting than the 2001 original." |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) |
"When it comes to the action scenes, West is all thumbs. His camera always seems to be in the wrong place, and the scenes never build momentum." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 1/5 |
Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector (2006) |
"Team Cable Guy has made a junky, throwaway comedy that will almost certainly appeal to his fans, for at least the first half hour. Then it runs out of gas. Or jokes. The gas Larry seems to have in no short supply." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Lars And The Real Girl (2007) |

Roger Moore |
Splat |
The Last Castle (2001) |
"Once you strip away the red, white and blue bunting, the film we're left with is one swell action sequence -- a prison riot -- and every prison movie cliche in the (1940s vintage) book." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Last Chance Harvey (2008) |
"This is as tepid as two-hours-in-the-cup old tea." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Last Holiday (2006) |
"This is a movie with lots of great cuisine, and precious little flava." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Last House on the Left (1972) |

Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Last House on the Left (2009) |
"This is a horror movie that illustrates the difference between cringing and feeling." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 5/5 |
The Last King of Scotland (2006) |
"If this genius turn by Whitaker (he starred in Bird and The Crying Game) doesn't earn an Oscar nomination, then those little statues will lose what little meaning they have." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Last Kiss (2002) |
"The movie does a good job of laying out some of the major issues that we encounter as we journey through life." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Last Kiss (2006) |
"[Braff] and the women of The Last Kiss give it weight, heart and smarts." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
The Last Mimzy (2007) |
"Awkwardly constructed, with a lame teacher-tells-a-story-in-the-future framework that gets the film off on the wrong foot. It takes a good, long while to get going, and the action doesn't exactly crackle when it does." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
Last Orders (2002) |
"The film, like its characters, is limited by a provincial self-absorption." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 3/5 |
The Last Samurai (2003) |
"Grand and undersized, truncated and overlong, The Last Samurai reminds us just enough of what epics used to be to disappoint." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
The Last Sin Eater (2007) |
"It has the same dramatic flatness of Love's Abiding Joy, which was made by the same filmmakers. Frankly, these folks are more suited to the Hallmark Channel." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Late Marriage (2001) |
"A terrific, thoroughly engrossing motion picture." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 3/5 |
Latter Days (2004) |
"It's a winning, heartfelt and conflicted piece where the conflicts often resolve themselves in surprising ways." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Laws of Attraction (2004) |
"A film that is antic and strident instead of witty and shrewd." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 4/5 |
Layer Cake (2005) |
"It's almost too much to follow, but the style, proven by Ritchie time and again, is irresistible." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003) |
"Works wonderfully as a popcorn picture." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 3/5 |
Leatherheads (2008) |
"If the real NFL had started off this tired, we'd be spending our Sundays watching jai alai." |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
Left Behind - The Movie (2001) |
"A competently made film hampered by wooden performances and a script that has a few too many 'Gee whiz' moments of dialogue." |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
Legally Blonde (2001) |
"All it lacks is ambition -- blonde ambition." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Legally Blonde 2: Red, White and Blonde (2003) |
"If Legally Blonde 2 were a legislative bill, it'd never make it out of committee." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat |
The Legend of Drunken Master (1994) |
"This is the weakest of the many Chan chop-shticks to make it to this country." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
The Legend of Johnny Lingo (2003) |
"If the narrative is unsteady, the acting is even shakier." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 2/5 |
Legend of Suriyothai (2003) |
"It is overlong, overproduced, overscaled and crammed with too many plots, subplots and digressions." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Legend of Zorro (2005) |
"No, the tongues aren't quite as firmly in cheek, the one-liners aren't as crisp, and the action flags more times than it should. But this Zorro does nothing to tarnish the Legend." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 5/5 |
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004) |
"There's little, very little, at all unfortunate about it." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
Leonard Cohen: I'm Your Man (2006) |
"It's not a deep documentary. We learn precious little about the real man underneath his sharp-dressed pose." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Let the Right One In (2008) |
"Just when you think you've seen pretty much everything that can be done with that exhausted horror genre, the vampire picture, somebody comes along with a new twist." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
The Letter - An American Town and the Somali Invasion (2003) |
"As helpful as it is to realize that white supremacists are as loony in Maine as they are in Idaho or Florida, The Letter is too confused and confusing to make anything more than the most simplistic points." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Letters From Iwo Jima (2006) |
"The proper way to appreciate Letters and Flags is to treat them as complimentary halves of the same epic movie, a Godfather war epic. One half is plainly more ambitious than the other, but both have virtues that distinguish them." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
The Libertine (2005) |
"A bawdy Restoration romp that doesn't. Romp." |
Roger Moore |
