Tomato
3/4

Waist Deep (2006)

"[Director Hall] has proved he is as good with actors as he is at staging action sequences and creating tension."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

Waiting (2000)

Tomato
3/4

Waiting for Happiness (2003)

"Though talk in the film often turns to death, Khatra's enthusiasm and love of life keep the movie surprisingly upbeat."

John Monaghan

Tomato
3/4

Waiting... (2005)

"It lays out a hearty, all-you-can-laugh buffet, served by some very fresh, in both senses of the word, waitstaff."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)

"This smart new spoof works because its makers...obviously love the genre they have so much fun sending up."

John Monaghan

Splat
2/4

Walk the Line (2005)

"Walk the Line isn't a bad movie. It's just a shallow and superficial one."

Terry Lawson

Splat

A Walk to Remember (2002)

"Just when you think that everything has been neatly resolved, the movie drops a bomb that is jaw-droppingly cheap."

John Monaghan

Tomato
3/4

The Walker (2007)

"This is no masterpiece, but a fine-tuned little thriller packed with meticulously chosen details of character and place."

John Monaghan

Splat
2/4

Walking Tall (2004)

"With at least two or three plot threads left dangling, the film sprints to a climax that is undercut by its abruptness."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005)

"Curse is a thoroughly entertaining romp that one hopes will make W&G feel as at home here as Bart and Homer."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

War of the Worlds (2005)

"It is nerve-wracking and gripping and draws specific parallels, both dramatically and visually, to 9/11, but never in a way that seems anything but natural."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

The War Tapes (2006)

"The film is one of the most urgent and immediate nonfiction works we may ever see."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

The War Within (2005)

"Well-made, well-informed and apparently well-meant psychological thriller."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

The Warrior (2005)

"It is hardly the most original story, but Kapadia, the British-born son of Indian immigrants, infuses it so much with stately resonance and spiritual reverence, that it never seems remotely shopworn, much less laborious."

Terry Lawson

Splat
2/4

Wasabi (2002)

"Don't let the subtitles fool you; the movie only proves that Hollywood no longer has a monopoly on mindless action."

John Monaghan

Splat

The Watcher (2000)

"We can't ignore the lack of anything resembling substance or purpose in The Watcher."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

Water (2006)

"Reminds us that Mehta is a filmmaker of courage -- she refused to abandon this film even after fundamentalist protestors shut down the production in India -- and singular style, telling stories that have never been told on screen."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep (2007)

"You can't deny the solid performances, the meticulous period detail and, most importantly, the way it refuses to talk down to young audiences."

John Monaghan

Tomato
3/4

Wattstax (1973)

"The restored rerelease is a time capsule of Afros, anger and attitude."

Terry Lawson

Tomato

The Way of the Gun (2000)

"You will either be endlessly entertained by its over-the-top outrageousness or be repulsed and offended that anyone could be entertained."

Terry Lawson

Splat
2/4

We Are Marshall (2006)

"As sincerely felt as it may be, We Are Marshall still comes off feeling contrived and superficial."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

We Don't Live Here Anymore (2004)

"It's an honest, revealing and provocative look at the sort of people we think we know, but in reality, rarely do."

Terry Lawson

Splat
2/4

We Own The Night (2007)

"Wahlberg, unfortunately, is over the top, and not in the good way he was in Scorsese's The Departed."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

We Were Soldiers (2002)

"It is something of a tribute to Wallace the director that the shamelessness of Wallace the screenwriter doesn't sabotage this mission altogether."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

The Weather Man (2005)

Tomato
3/4

The Weather Man (2005)

"Cage's performance will undoubtedly be dismissed by some as sad-sack, but those who look deeper should see it as movingly soulful, and very precise."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

Wedding Crashers (2005)

"It's a combination of the kind of go-for-it comedies Hollywood routinely made before the PG-13 rating became a symbol as opposed to a standard targeting the widest, blandest possible audience, and sexy romantic comedy."

Terry Lawson

Splat
1/4

The Wedding Date (2005)

"Even if we could buy the contrived setup (right: Debra Messing needs to buy a date), there is no thought to fleshing out the characters."

John Monaghan

Splat
2/4

A Wedding for Bella (2001)

"The movie is a study in cheap audience manipulation."

John Monaghan

Tomato
3/4

The Wedding March (1928)

"One of the most eccentric and fascinating vanity projects in the history of film."

John Monaghan

Splat

The Wedding Planner (2001)

"Strictly predictable."

Terry Lawson

Splat
1/4

The Weight of Water (2002)

"A boring, pretentious muddle that uses a sensational, real-life 19th-Century crime as a metaphor for -- well, I'm not exactly sure what -- and has all the dramatic weight of a raindrop."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

Welcome to Collinwood (2002)

"As shameless as it is successful in stringing together gag after gag."

Terry Lawson

Splat
2/4

Welcome to Mooseport (2004)

"To say that Welcome to Mooseport plays like a lost episode of TV's Northern Exposure does not do justice to that show."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

Wet Hot American Summer (2001)

"Have a good summer."

Terry Lawson

Tomato
3/4

Whale Rider (2003)

"A whopping good yarn."

Terry Lawson

Splat
2/4

What a Girl Wants (2003)

"This equally pandering chick flick is so juvenile it's practically embryonic."

John Monaghan

Splat
2/4

What the Bleep Do We Know? (2004)

"Sometimes What the #$*! Do We Know!? has the corny, ham-handed feel of an old 16mm educational movie, but I'm not sure how intentional this is."

John Monaghan

Splat

What Women Want (2000)

"What women really want, if we can read the simple mind of What Women Want, is sincerity and honesty, even if you have to fake it."

Terry Lawson

Splat

What's The Worst That Could Happen? (2001)

"While good casting can't turn a bad script into a great movie, sometimes it can elevate a mediocre script into a watchable, passable movie, which is the case with What's the Worst that Could Happen?"

Terry Lawson

Splat

Whatever It Takes (2000)

"A cinematic sour ball posing as bubblegum teen comedy."

John Monaghan

Tomato

When Brendan Met Trudy (2001)

"Flits along on its sheer love for movies, injecting a screwball playfulness that feels like a breath of fresh air."

Julie Hinds

Splat
1/4

When Do We Eat? (2006)

"Crass, chaotic comedy."

Terry Lawson

Splat

Where the Heart Is (2000)

"It appears to have been cobbled together from all the story lines the network sponsors wouldn't approve."

Terry Lawson

Splat

Where the Money Is (2000)

"An overacted, underwritten con comedy that relies on Newman's cantankerous charm to get over. This asks too much even of Newman."

Terry Lawson

Splat
2/4

Where The Truth Lies (2005)

"A mystery-inside- a-mystery that mostly just drives around in search of a nonexistent address and hits dead ends."

Terry Lawson

Splat

Whipped (2000)

"[Peet's] all but wasted in a movie that professes truth but is really about cheap laughs drawn from ugly behavior."

John Monaghan

Splat
1/4

White Chicks (2004)

"A moronic version of better gender-bending films."

John Monaghan

Splat
2/4

White Countess (2005)

"A tedious, overblown bit of business."

Terry Lawson

Splat
1/4

White Noise (2005)

"Tune it out."

John Monaghan
