Tomato 3/5 |
Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002) |
"Noyce trusts the power of the story to move us. He knows that, like the girls themselves, we'll find our way along Rabbit-Proof Fence." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 3/5 |
Race to Witch Mountain (2009) |
"Race to Witch Mountain is the first kids' film in ages to have action beats that measure up to Hollywood's grownup action fare." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 5/5 |
Rachel Getting Married (2008) |
"Rachel Getting Married is a magical wallow in excess, a too-happy, too-sad, too-indulgent plunge into an over-planned wedding." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1/5 |
Racing Stripes (2005) |
"It stumbles right out of the gate." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Radio (2003) |
"It's still a tear-jerker, but it doesn't make you feel like a jerk for tearing up." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 4/5 |
Rain (2002) |
"Treats a potentially explosive set-up with adult reflection and thoughtfulness." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Raise Your Voice (2004) |
"An earnest and eager Fame for the young and the tin-eared." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Raising Helen (2004) |
"[Marshall] evidently finds the film's premise to be outrageously funny. Some viewers -- especially those who have looked out a window in the last 20 years -- may understandably be less impressed." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 4/5 |
Raising Victor Vargas (2003) |
"In Raising Victor Vargas, everyone has feelings." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 2/5 |
Rambo (2008) |
"A brutish, brutal and simplistic orgy of violence." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Randy and the Mob (2007) |
"Not a very good movie, on the whole, but there are laugh-out-loud moments and there's promise in the unusual world it depicts." |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
Rat Race (2001) |
"These people, and the actors who play them, work so very hard that just watching them tires you out." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 3/5 |
Ratatouille (2007) |
"Has Pixar lost its magic recipe? Ratatouille is filled with fairly generic animated imagery, a few modest chases, a couple of good gags, not a lot of laughs." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Ray (2004) |
"Foxx helps us to truly understand how much Charles' blindness allows him to achieve, especially when combined with an innate wiliness." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 4/5 |
Read My Lips (2002) |
"It's neither as romantic nor as thrilling as it should be. But it offers plenty to ponder and chew on as its unusual relationship slowly unfolds." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Reader (2008) |
"The Reader, distant though it can be, touches and provokes a mulling over of the Holocaust like few films on the subject in recent memory." |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
Ready to Rumble (2000) |
"Yes, film fans, there is a new worst movie of all time." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 3/5 |
Real Women Have Curves (2002) |
"It's so underwritten that you can't figure out just where the other characters, including Ana's father and grandfather, come down on the issue of Ana's future." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 2/5 |
The Reaping (2007) |

Splat 2/5 |
Rebound (2005) |
"Rebound is almost the same movie as Coach Carter, played for Bad News Bears/ Mighty Ducks/Big Green/ Kicking and Screaming laughs." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato |
Recess: School's Out (2001) |
"A lot of the jokes land." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Reckoning (2004) |
"It's not Shakespeare in Love, and it really has no third act, but there's wonder in the scenes of theatrical invention, of theater being made up on the spot, a play in the making." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Recruit (2003) |
"Fun but make few demands on moviegoers." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 3/4 |
Red Cliff (2009) |
"Flaws and all, you can’t watch a frame of it without feeling that it has been generations since Hollywood tackled anything on this scale." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Red Dragon (2002) |
"One of the best movies of the year and a splendid addition to a phenomenally popular franchise." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 4/5 |
Red Eye (2005) |
"Teach this one in film schools. Maybe it could save us from all those stupid, nobody-would-do-that plot turns, flaccid formula screenwriting and thrillers that run so long they lose their thrills." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 3/5 |
Red Lights (2004) |
"Barely makes it into the passing lane. It's stop-and-go all the way." |
Roger Moore |
Splat |
Red Planet (2000) |
"The cast outclasses the material." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 3/5 |
Redbelt (2008) |
"Ejiofor, a marvelously focused actor whose range and intensity are given a faintly inscrutable edge here, holds the center of the screen." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1/5 |
Redline (2007) |
"It's not so much a film as a cheesy garage calendar scantily-clad, over-made up "cheap" women as hood-ornaments." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Reign of Fire (2002) |
"The narrative is so consistently unimaginative that probably the only way to have saved the film is with the aid of those wisecracking Mystery Science Theater 3000 guys." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 4/5 |
Reign Over Me (2007) |
"It was a smart move, pulling Reign Over Me from last fall's release schedule. Perhaps the world just isn't ready for an Adam Sandler Oscar nomination." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato |
Reindeer Games (2000) |
"Reindeer Games is the sort of movie in which nothing is quite what it seems." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 4/5 |
Religulous (2008) |
"Fearless as a fatwa and subtle as a Second Coming, Religulous is a revelation." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato |
Remember the Titans (2000) |
"[Bruckheimer's] latest production is, in some ways, a departure. Not only is it based on a true story, it is also actually about something." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 4/5 |
Rendition (2007) |
"Give us a genuine dilemma, put us on the spot. Rendition -- though it is a very good, challenging film that will have you thinking and talking afterward -- doesn't." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1/5 |
Reno 911!: Miami (2007) |
"Reno does manage a titter here and a giggle there. But it's a cheap, dumb, obvious movie. How cheap? The big screen never seemed so small." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 2/5 |
Rent (2005) |
" They're saying Rent was of its moment. They're saying that moment has passed. So the point of making the movie is . . . ?" |
Roger Moore |
Tomato |
The Replacements (2000) |
"Surprisingly likable." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat |
Requiem for a Dream (2000) |
"It becomes so engrossed in the utter squalor of the lives of its characters that it doesn't leave much room for us nonaddicts to identify." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 3/5 |
Rescue Dawn (2007) |
"Perhaps if [director Herzog] had tossed in a few Chevys that transform into robots, the studio would have given him the cash to make Rescue Dawn definitive, instead of generic, which is the best he manages here." |
Roger Moore |
Splat 1/5 |
Resident Evil (2002) |
"What will, most likely, turn out to be the most repellent movie of 2002." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 1/5 |
Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) |
"Not good or even competent." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 4/5 |
Respiro (2003) |
"A sad, slight film but with a sweet, smooth finish that makes you feel richer for having watched and absorbed and felt." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
Resurrecting the Champ (2007) |
"Even if it doesn't bring the nearly dead boxing film back to life, Resurrection offers a revealing peek into reporting and the ways it can go wrong, coming from the best or most crass intentions." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Return (2004) |
"A quiet film." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Return (2006) |
"A simple ghost story that is, for all its faults, elegantly told, and compellingly acted." |
Roger Moore |
Tomato |
Return to Me (2000) |
"It's the little things that make Return to Me worth a look. The small, sweet-funny touches and the offhanded, all-too-human moments are really the heart of this film." |
Jay Boyar |
Splat 3/5 |
Return to Never Land (2002) |
"If you know kids who are insisting on a return trip to Never Land ... you'd do the kids a bigger favor by renting either the Mary Martin or Cathy Rigby version of the original stage show." |
Jay Boyar |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (2003) |
"Compelling and immediate." |
Roger Moore |
