Rating Title Year Quote Author

Tomato
3/4

Nacho Libre (2006)

"Jack Black body slams his way into the heavyweight division of physical comedy with Nacho Libre."

Randy Myers

Tomato
3/4

The Namesake (2007)

"Director Mira Nair's film The Namesake is so involving and touching that to find fault feels akin to nit-picking all the way home from a lovely dinner party."

Mary F. Pols

Tomato
3/4

Nancy Drew (2007)

"A cheerful diversion for the younger set, and Nancy's innocence plays as a welcome diversion to the ongoing Spears-Hilton-Lohan debacles."

Mary F. Pols

Splat
C+

The Nanny Diaries (2007)

"A horror film awkwardly disguised in the nondescript gray-green suit of a chick flick."

Mary F. Pols

Tomato
B-

Nanny McPhee (2006)

"Everything about Emma Thompson's Nanny McPhee is pleasant. It's pleasantly amusing, pleasantly enchanting and just pleasant enough to take the kids to a matinee."

Randy Myers

Splat
2.5/4

Narc (2002)

"Feels like an R-rated episode of NYPD Blue, with its only real distinction being that neither Nick nor Henry are characters we're particularly attached to."

Mary F. Pols

Tomato
2.5/4

The Nativity Story (2006)

"Despite some admirably realistic casting, this is a dutiful and traditional film. And that's not necessarily a bad thing."

Mary F. Pols

Tomato
3/4

Never Again (2002)

"It's a pleasure to see [Clayburgh] back in full force, having aged beautifully, and in a role that serves as such a neat bookend to An Unmarried Woman."

Mary F. Pols

Tomato
B+

The New World (2005)

"If you abandon your popcorn-movie diet where everything barrels along at such a fast clip, you'll discover a lovely and painstakingly detailed treasure, if one that is occasionally too inert for its own good."

Randy Myers

Splat
3/4

Nicholas Nickleby (2002)

"This isn't just the CliffsNotes version of Nicholas Nickleby, it's the CliffsNotes with pages missing."

Mary F. Pols

Tomato

The Ninth Gate (1999)

"The movie is so crisply done, with such class, that it keeps you engrossed."

Karen Hershenson

Tomato
A

No Country for Old Men (2007)

"There isn't a performance in this film that isn't exquisitely in key or a frame in this film that doesn't feel right. At times, the movie deliberately leaves us grasping to understand what we've seen."

Mary F. Pols

Tomato
B

No Reservations (2007)

"The satisfying culinary romance No Reservations divides and conquers by making us crave the utterly attainable -- spaghetti with fresh basil -- as intensely as we do either of its unattainable leads."

Mary F. Pols

Splat
2.5/4

Nobody Knows (2005)

"Sitting through this movie is akin to being forced to watch a box of 2-week-old kittens try to survive without their mother."

Mary F. Pols

Splat
1/4

Norbit (2007)

"Norbit briefly thrives on the power of Murphy's genius and then becomes mean-spirited and depressing."

Mary F. Pols

Tomato
3.5/4

North Country (2005)

"North Country is without question a riveting and powerful film."

Randy Myers

Tomato
B+

Notes on a Scandal (2006)

"Notes on a Scandal is so magnificently acted that you barely notice, until a telling little coda, that you've been watching a horror film, albeit one so sophisticated that all the violence is verbal."

Mary F. Pols

Splat
2/4

The Notorious Bettie Page (2006)

"Except for its wonderfully nostalgic look, which painstakingly evokes memories of '50s movies, and Mol's sunny disposition, Bettie Page doesn't amount to much."

Randy Myers

Splat
C

November (2005)

"A psychological thriller -- notably short on thrills."

Mary F. Pols

Splat

Novocaine (2001)

"Like most imitations, it feels cheap."

Mary F. Pols

Tomato

Nurse Betty (2000)

"A deliriously odd and funny movie that manages to be dark and uplifting at the same time."

Mary F. Pols
