All About the Benjamins (2002) |
"Really all about the bullets, which fly by the hundreds through this lifeless action/comedy." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 3/4 |
All or Nothing (2002) |
"The resolution -- which I won't describe, as it's something to see -- is extremely moving." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat |
All Over the Guy (2001) |
"Call it a pleasant near-miss." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat 2.5/4 |
All The King's Men (2006) |
"All the King's Men is full of bits that work; unfortunately, they never quite add up to a whole." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat 1/4 |
All the Queen's Men (2002) |
"It all feels like a Monty Python sketch gone horribly wrong." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 3/4 |
All the Real Girls (2003) |
"The characters in All the Real Girls can seem a little thin ... but the emotions always feel genuine." |
John Hartl |
Splat 2/4 |
Allah Made Me Funny (2008) |
"The package is a friendly, if lackluster, affair..." |
Ted Fry |
Splat 1/4 |
Alone in the Dark (2005) |
"Dreadful." |
Tom Keogh |
Tomato |
Along Came a Spider (2001) |
"Taken at face value, the film is entertaining, exciting at times and fun to watch." |
Pam Sitt |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Along Came Polly (2004) |
"A waste of a talented cast." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat 2/4 |
Alpha Dog (2007) |
"Alpha Dog, a tale of a group of drug-fueled teenagers, is gritty to the point of painful abrasion." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 4/4 |
Amadeus (1984) |
"A gloriously colorful confection of music, theater and emotion." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 4/4 |
Amandla: A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony (2003) |
"Besides great conversation and patches of raw emotion, Amandla! has passages of wonderful music." |
Tom Keogh |
Splat 1/4 |
The Amateurs (2007) |
"It ranges from awkward to excruciating." |
Mark Rahner |
Tomato 3/4 |
An Amazing Couple (2002) |
"Boosted by Morel's subtly hilarious, hangdog performance, the film offers a cunning blend of door-slamming farce and whimsical marital love story." |
Jeff Shannon |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Amazing Grace (2007) |
"A good -- and important -- story, not always well told." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Amelia (2009) |
"Amelia is a conventional, competent and often very pretty film; it's just never as interesting as the woman at its center." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato |
Amelie (2001) |
"I love watching movies that sweep me into a magical, happier place, and leave me with an all's-right -with- the-world contentment. Amelie did just that." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
America The Beautiful (2008) |
"America the Beautiful provides plenty of food for thought, and Roberts' passion for the subject shines through." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 3/4 |
America's Heart and Soul (2004) |
"A pleasing visual treat." |
Tom Keogh |
Splat |
America's Sweethearts (2001) |
"It's a perfectly fine setup for romantic-comedy capering, with enough good one-liners to satisfy. But Roth seems a bit at sea with his powerhouse cast." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat 1.5/4 |
American Adobo (2002) |
"Mushes the college-friends genre (The Big Chill) together with the contrivances and overwrought emotion of soap operas." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat |
The American Astronaut (2001) |
"Like a very accomplished student film, amusing and annoying in just about equal measure." |
Mark Rahner |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
American Dreamz (2006) |
"American Dreamz is often a lot of fun, thanks to Weitz's cast." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 3/4 |
American Gangster (2007) |
"Scott guided Crowe to an Oscar in Gladiator, and once more he brings out the actor's vulnerable side." |
John Hartl |
Tomato 3/4 |
American Hardcore (2006) |
"An energetic and grandly entertaining tribute to a short-lived period of early-'80s punk rock." |
Ted Fry |
Splat |
American Outlaws (2001) |
"A guilty romp that doesn't take itself seriously." |
Melanie McFarland |
Tomato |
American Pie (1999) |
"In spite of yourself, you'll find yourself groaning and laughing through the movie." |
Sharon Pian Chan |
Splat |
American Pie 2 (2001) |
"No real premise, no new jokes, no new characters and still no plot line for poor Natasha Lyonne." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat |
American Psycho (2000) |
"Just doesn't make the case that this book was worth filming." |
John Hartl |
Tomato |
An American Rhapsody (2001) |

John Hartl |
Tomato 3/4 |
American Wedding (2003) |
"What makes American Wedding click is that it doesn't pretend to be something it's not." |
Tina Potterf |
Splat .5/4 |
The Amityville Horror (2005) |
"In theory, this should all be scary, but it just isn't. You giggle at the B-movie cheesiness of it." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato |
Amores Perros (2001) |
"González Iñárritu spares no detail in his telling, creating an ambitious, starkly realistic movie that just happens to be way too long." |
John Zebrowski |
Tomato 3/4 |
Amreeka (2009) |
"For the most part, Dabis and her actors charm their way through this material, finding absurdist humor even in the darkest moments." |
John Hartl |
Splat |
Amy (2001) |
"This well-meaning film is really just another one-hanky slum fairy tale -- this time with an Aussie accent." |
Misha Berson |
Tomato 4/4 |
An Education (2009) |
"The movie belongs to Mulligan, whose Jenny looks like Audrey Hepburn when she puts her hair up and dons a black dress, and like every teenage girl who's had her heart broken when she cries." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 3/4 |
Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid (2004) |
"Wisely prods not only ordinary phobias about big, bad serpents but also universal terrors of the dark, of narrow spaces, of drowning, of falling, of spiders and much more." |
Tom Keogh |
Splat 2/4 |
Analyze That (2002) |
"Feels unnecessary." |
Moira MacDonald |
Splat 2/4 |
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) |
"While the film is sporadically funny, it was done much better on the small screen, decades ago." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
And Now Ladies and Gentlemen (2003) |
"You'll either like this soaringly daft confection, even as it aggravates you with its self-absorption, or you won't. I did." |
Mary Brennan |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera (2004) |
"It's a shamelessly over-the-top wallow in romantic obsession, and a thoroughly enjoyable one." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Andy Goldsworthy - Rivers and Tides: Working With Time (2003) |
"A calm and lovely film that audiences hungry for beauty will likely devour with their eyes." |

Angel Eyes (2001) |
"A jumbled mess." |
John Zebrowski |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Angel-A (2007) |
"Luc Besson returns to his roots in this delightful, funny and stylish fantasy. Shot in gloriously crisp black and white, it's also a bit of a throwback to the French New Wave for its technique and dazzling location vignettes across Paris." |
Ted Fry |
Tomato 2/4 |
Angels & Demons (2009) |
"Angels & Demons slips away pretty quickly after you've watched it, in the way of most blockbuster movies, but it's diverting enough while it lasts." |
Moira MacDonald |
Tomato 4/4 |
Angels in the Dust (2007) |
"It thoughtfully illuminates a seemingly unsolvable problem while proving that one person really can make a difference." |
