Accepted (2006) |
"None of them will teach you anything you didn't already know -- but at least you'll have a good time until class is dismissed." |
Christy Lemire |

 |
The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002) |
"It's boring. It's flat. It's ugly. Worst of all for a comedy, it's not even remotely funny." |
Christy Lemire |
|

|
Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker (2006) |
"The script comes from Anthony Horowitz, based on the first novel in his Alex Rider spy series. How is it possible to take your own work and make it less interesting?" |
Christy Lemire |
|
|
|
All The King's Men (2006) |
"Instead of being important, All the King's Men is merely self-important -- and pretentious and bombastic, but ultimately hollow." |
Christy Lemire |
|
|
|
Alpha Dog (2007) |
"The idea may sound melodramatic but the result has realistic bite." |
Christy Lemire |
|
|
|
Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007) |
"When Lee's finally called upon to yell the trademark 'Alllllvin!' it feels like a forced whimper that only reminds us how stale the decades-old material is." |

America's Heart and Soul (2004) |
"Beneath its glossy surface, this unabashedly feel-good movie is full of substance." |
David Germain |
|
|
|
American Beauty (1999) |
"American Beauty takes its place among the best family dramas of recent decades." |
Ted Anthony |
|
|
|
American Dreamz (2006) |
"American Dreamz, writer-director Paul Weitz's parody of both American Idol and the American presidency, is filled with dead-on detail, sharp dialogue and reasons to laugh out loud." |
Christy Lemire |
|
|
|
American Gangster (2007) |
"Washington, as real-life heroin kingpin Frank Lucas, and Crowe, as detective Richie Roberts, are on a collision course with one another that‘s bursting with the gritty period atmosphere of 1970s Harlem." |
Christy Lemire |
|
|
|
An American Haunting (2006) |
"The impassioned performances make you care what happens to these people, even when the film's noisy overindulgence makes you almost wish their home would collapse on itself like The Fall of the House of Usher." |
David Germain |
|
|
|
An American Rhapsody (2001) |
"A riveting and powerful drama about a 15-year-old girl torn by a simple question: Where is her home?" |
Malcolm Ritter |

|
|
American Teen (2008) |
"Except for some obvious staging on Burstein’s part, their ups and downs, doubts and dreams, all feel vividly real. Well, at least more real than anything you see on The Hills." |
Christy Lemire |
|
|
|
Amores Perros (2001) |
"Always clever, and devastating in its depiction of human nature." |
Christy Lemire |
|
|
|
The Anniversary Party (2001) |
"You know how sometimes you tell a story, and you think it's really funny, but no one else gets it? Well, guess you had to be there. Tell that story for about two hours and you have The Anniversary Party." |
Christy Lemire |
|
|
|
The Ant Bully (2006) |
"The Ant Bully is never less than colorful and high-energy. But it's hard to shake the feeling that we've all gone up this hill before." |
Christy Lemire |
|
|
|
Antitrust (2001) |
"Begins with an engaging setup but gradually lapses into a messy web of cloak-and-dagger contrivance, implausible action, silly plot twists and dumb dialogue." |
David Germain |
|
|
|
Apocalypto (2006) |
"The blood and gore become so extreme that they provoke titters of ridicule, undermining a simple, stirring story of family devotion as a man races from vile captors to return home and rescue his pregnant wife and their son." |
David Germain |
|
|
|
Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film For Theatres (2007) |
"You have to give these guys this much: They remained true to their twisted vision, and that's exciting to see." |
Christy Lemire |
|
|
|
Arctic Tale (2007) |
"Despite the film's undeniable technical achievements, it's hard to walk out of the theater without sensing that you've witnessed a bit of a cheat." |
Christy Lemire |
|
|
|
The Art of War (2000) |
"It should remain undercover." |
Bob Thomas |
|
|
|
Arthur and the Invisibles (2007) |
"A mishmash with a distinctive but disorderly animation palette whose top-notch voice cast -- including Robert De Niro, Madonna and David Bowie -- gets lost in the muck." |
David Germain |
|
|
|
The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford (2007) |
"Affleck does something remarkable here with his performance: He makes you feel sorry for this weaselly, whiny, 19-year-old kid, yet fear him at the same time." |
|
|
|
|
ATL (2006) |
"Really, ATL -- like last year's Roll Bounce -- is about roller skating." |
Christy Lemire |
|
|
|
Atonement (2007) |
"It‘s just exceptionally well-crafted." |
Christy Lemire |
|
|
|
August Rush (2007) |
"We need to break out a whole new definition of cheesiness for a film like this, augmented by fake tears and vomit gestures." |
Jake Coyle |
|
|
|
Autumn in New York (2000) |
"Sappy and melodramatic." |
