Tomato 3.5/4 |
Rachel Getting Married (2008) |
"Rachel Getting Married is a portrait of a family reeling with pain and resentment -- and rising to the challenge of dealing with it head-on." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Splat |
Radio (2003) |
"Trailers make it seem as though Radio is all about football, but it's not, and once the film leaves the fall sport behind it wanders around in no particular direction until it reaches an abrupt, poorly executed ending." |
Connie Ogle |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Raise Your Voice (2004) |
"Loaded with so much drama that the story sinks into a grim, sloppy soap-opera mix." |
Connie Ogle |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Raising Helen (2004) |
"There's an old-school innocence to Marshall's style, and it's satisfying to be whisked away from reality to this parallel universe where we find it possible to laugh amid such a fundamentally tragic scenario." |
Peter Debruge |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Raising Victor Vargas (2003) |
"There's nothing in the utterly enchanting Raising Victor Vargas you haven't seen before; you'd just be hard-pressed to name another movie that did it as well." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Rana's Wedding (2002) |
"Rana's Wedding serves as a strong reminder of the difficulties the people of Jerusalem face every day." |
Marta Barber |
Splat |
Random Hearts (1999) |
"Terminally frosty and remote!" |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato |
Rat Race (2001) |
"The movie is so cheerfully, furiously relentless, its contagious silliness wears you down." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ratatouille (2007) |
"Ratatouille is the most straightforward and formulaic picture to date from Pixar Animation Studios, but it is also among the most enchanting and touching." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato |
Ratcatcher (2000) |
"Ratcatcher goes straight to the head." |
Marta Barber |
Tomato |
Raw Deal: A Question of Consent (2002) |
"Although this may be no one's idea of a pretty story, Corben manages to make it utterly absorbing." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ray (2004) |
"If Ray fails to present a genuine portrait of a complex man's essence, it does leave you with an even greater sense of awe for Charles' accomplishments, both in his personal and public lives." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato 3/4 |
Read My Lips (2002) |
"See it now, before the inevitable Hollywood remake flattens out all its odd, intriguing wrinkles." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Reader (2008) |
"Relies too much on coincidence and, in an even more puzzling turn, seems to suggest that illiteracy might be a valid excuse for the worst of human behavior." |
Connie Ogle |
Tomato |
Ready to Rumble (2000) |
"The most amazing thing about Ready to Rumble is how bad it isn't." |
Phoebe Flowers |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Real Cancun (2003) |
"You could argue that The Real Cancun isn't worth shelling out seven bucks for when you can get the same thing on TV, and you would be right. But it sure beats Fear Factor: The Movie." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato 3/4 |
Real Women Have Curves (2002) |
"A warm, funny, engaging film." |
Marta Barber |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Rebound (2005) |
"Hollywood wants to know why audiences aren't rushing to the theaters these days. Rebound is a perfect example of why people stay home." |
Connie Ogle |
Tomato |
Recess: School's Out (2001) |
"Whimsical, engaging." |
Christine Dolen |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Reckoning (2004) |
"The filmmakers expertly capture the 14th century in wrenching detail, all its bleakness and misery, down to the dirt-caked fingernails of peasants and priests alike." |
Connie Ogle |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Recruit (2003) |
"The Recruit may not bring anything new to the spy genre, but it passes the test as entertainment." |
Connie Ogle |
Splat 2/4 |
A Red Bear (2003) |
"A passable, although unremarkable, exercise in crime-drama formula." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato 3/4 |
Red Dragon (2002) |
"By staying true to Harris' novel, Red Dragon makes for compelling viewing." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato 3/4 |
Red Dust (2004) |
"Though Hooper falters on the side of manipulation, the story remains engrossing." |
Marta Barber |
Tomato 3/4 |
Red Eye (2005) |
"An immensely dumb, immensely fun thriller." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato 3/4 |
Red Lights (2004) |
"[The plot] is filled with ingenious deceptions and sleight-of-hand trickery." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Splat |
Red Planet (2000) |
"At some point near the start of the 21st Century, Hollywood must have secretly decided science fiction is really just a synonym for drivel." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato 3/4 |
Redbelt (2008) |
"In Redbelt, David Mamet enters the realm of sports drama and Rocky-underdog clichés and discovers it's a surprisingly good fit." |
Sara Wildberger |
Splat 2/4 |
Reign of Fire (2002) |
"For all its great potential, Reign of Fire turns out to be just another bughunt movie -- a disappointingly talky, haphazard one." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Splat 2/4 |
Reign Over Me (2007) |
"A heartfelt but overly schematic movie that, in its attempt to explore the true cost of living one's life in denial, ends up superficial and banal." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Splat 2/4 |
Religulous (2008) |
"It's not the message in Religulous that's a turn-off, but the way in which it's delivered." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato |
Remember the Titans (2000) |
"Soft-edged and sweet." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Splat 2/4 |
Rendition (2007) |
"The kind of movie whose own self-importance is a turn off." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato 3/4 |
Rent (2005) |
"Now a vastly larger audience has the chance to experience the masterwork of a prodigiously talented man who died far too young." |
Christine Dolen |
Splat |
The Replacements (2000) |
"The Replacements does have its moments. There just aren't enough of them." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato 3/4 |
Reprise (2008) |
"This story about two aspiring writers in their early 20s has the fearlessness and vivacity of a first novel, and its playful approach to chronology and voice-over narration serves to amplify its themes instead of coming off as a show-off trick." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato |
Requiem for a Dream (2000) |
"Remarkable -- easily the most searing movie-going experience of the year." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato 3/4 |
Rescue Dawn (2007) |
"It's easy to understand why Herzog was driven to tell this story twice." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Reservation Road (2007) |
"Despite its contrivances, Reservation Road is moving at times, and that's largely due to the skill of its cast." |
Connie Ogle |
Splat |
Resident Evil (2002) |
"Such a bad movie that its luckiest viewers will be seated next to one of those ignorant pinheads who talk throughout the show." |
Charles Savage |
Splat 2/4 |
Resurrecting the Champ (2007) |
"The thoroughly unconvincing drama Resurrecting the Champ might be based on a true story, but that doesn't mean you're going to believe a single frame of it." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Return (2004) |
"This film by Andrei Zvyagintsev touches a nerve." |
Marta Barber |
Tomato |
Return to Me (2000) |
"As light and fluffy as it is, Return to Me still proves surprisingly inviting, thanks to some canny direction by actress Bonnie Hunt in her filmmaking debut." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Splat 2/4 |
Return to Never Land (2002) |
"As handsome and playful as the movie often is, it's another example of the let's-further -exploit-a-hit genre." |
Christine Dolen |
Tomato |
The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (2003) |
"A fascinating look at events mostly unknown to outsiders." |
Marta Barber |
Splat 1/4 |
Revolver (2007) |
"The problem with Revolver is that it is Ritchie's first attempt at a 'serious' look at the underworld, but the result is so pretentious and muddled it's almost a little embarrassing." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Tomato 3/4 |
Riding Alone For Thousands of Miles (2006) |
"Cynics may not fall for its melodrama, but Riding Alone is good for everyone else, including children." |
Marta Barber |
Tomato 3/4 |
Riding Giants (2004) |
"Awe-inspiring documentary about the history of big-wave surfing." |
Rene Rodriguez |
Splat |
Riding in Cars with Boys (2001) |
"What ultimately dooms the film are one-dimensional and searingly bad performances." |
Connie Ogle |
Splat 2/4 |
Righteous Kill (2008) |
"The movie, which has more than 10 credited producers, feels like one of those slick, for-the-money projects Hollywood studios cook up via graph charts and marketing surveys." |
