2.5/4 |
I am a Sex Addict (2005) |
"We're encouraged to root for his happy ending, but he doesn't quite work hard enough to earn it." |
Elizabeth Weitzman |
Tomato 3/4 |
I am Cuba, the Siberian Mammoth (2004) |
"A fascinating capsule of an era long past." |
Elizabeth Weitzman |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
I Am Legend (2007) |
"The Manhattan movie of the year, Francis Lawrence's I Am Legend, offers a stunning glimpse into how the city -- as we know it today -- might look in 2012 if it were abandoned in 2009." |
Jack Mathews |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
I Capture the Castle (2003) |
"A sweet, lovely, if perhaps overlong movie." |
Jami Bernard |
Splat 2.5/4 |
I Hate Sao Paulo (2004) |
"Dardo Barros gains points for sincerity and good intentions, even if his intimate drama never quite reaches its potential." |
Elizabeth Weitzman |
Splat 1/5 |
I Hate Valentine's Day (2009) |
"Given the inevitable response to this equally regrettable rom-com, she can expect to loathe Independence Day, too." |
Elizabeth Weitzman |
Tomato 3/4 |
I Have Never Forgotten You (2007) |
"Seamlessly blends old footage, new interviews and well-written narration into a straightforward but gripping chronicle balanced so far on the edges of horror and heroism that you may, just briefly, have a hard time believing it after all." |
Elizabeth Weitzman |
Splat 2/4 |
I Heart Huckabees (2004) |
"The movie purports to be a comic meditation on metaphysics, but it has no intellectual resonance and resembles nothing so much as a sendup of psychotherapy." |
Jami Bernard |
Splat 0/5 |
I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell (2009) |
"You could get angry that a guy like this even got a chance. Or you could just forget about him, and move on to something worthwhile." |
Elizabeth Weitzman |
Splat 0.5/4 |
I Know Who Killed Me (2007) |
"No review could really do justice to the monumental trashiness of this mess; it really has to be seen to be believed." |
Elizabeth Weitzman |
Tomato 3/4 |
I Like Killing Flies (2006) |
"Anyone who laments the loss of an older, grittier New York ought to adore this affectionate portrait of Greenwich Village restaurant owner Kenny Shopsin." |
Elizabeth Weitzman |
Splat |
I Love You, Beth Cooper (2009) |
"This unfunny, unoriginal, charmless teen comedy is so stunningly awful from start to finish, it's amazing to think its director has made a single film before, much less a dozen." |
Joe Neumaier |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
I Love You, Man (2009) |
"Writer/director John Hamburg smartly tweaks Hollywood formulas while following them to the letter, and it’s the way everybody plays things perfectly straight (so to speak) that makes ILYM so much fun." |
Elizabeth Weitzman |
Splat 2/4 |
I Love Your Work (2005) |
"Working with a self-consciously urgent, neo-noir style, Goldberg seems intent on expressing a meaningful message of some kind. It's too bad, then, that he has chosen such a shallow subject." |
Elizabeth Weitzman |
Splat 2/4 |
I Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (2007) |
"Does anybody laugh at this stuff anymore?" |
Jack Mathews |
Tomato 2.5/5 |
I Sell the Dead (2009) |
"Low-budget, grubby and gleeful, but with a nice sense of style and apparently an endless supply of dry ice. Points deducted, though, for a too-easy alien-corpse joke." |
Joe Neumaier |
Tomato 4/5 |
I Served the King of England (2008) |
"A film as unique as this is a gift that shouldn't be ignored. And if Menzel once again finds the audience he deserves, we won't have to wait years for another." |
Elizabeth Weitzman |
Splat 2.5/5 |
I Think I Love My Wife (2007) |
"For each joke that is fresh, there are at least three that fall thuddingly flat." |
Jack Mathews |
Splat 2/4 |
I Trust You to Kill Me (2006) |
"More vanity project than full-fledged film, Manu Boyer's modest chronicle is best left to diehard Kiefer Sutherland fans." |
Elizabeth Weitzman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With (2007) |
"Extremely slight but very genial." |
Jack Mathews |
Splat 2/4 |
I'll Sleep When I'm Dead (2004) |
"This plodding British revenge thriller has less energy than a pint of Bass that has sat out overnight." |
Jack Mathews |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
I'm Not There (2007) |
"A vividly imagined homage to the evolving music and enigmatic figure we know as Bob Dylan." |
Jack Mathews |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
I'm Reed Fish (2007) |
"Modest charmer about a folksy community radio show host." |
Jack Mathews |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
I'm Taraneh, 15 (2006) |
"Sadr-Ameli's unflagging empathy and Alidousti's confident performance keep us rooting for this young heroine, who refuses to accept the limits forced upon her by both society and the law." |
Elizabeth Weitzman |
Tomato 3/5 |
I've Loved You So Long (2008) |
"Scott Thomas breathes more emotion into Juliette's affectless, haunted demeanor than most actors do with pages of dialogue." |
Joe Neumaier |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
I, Robot (2004) |
"I, Robot is fun, even when it relies a bit too much on standard police-procedure cliches." |
Jami Bernard |
Tomato 3/5 |
Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (2009) |
"This rambunctious outing -- the third in the franchise -- is cute enough to engage kids and just smart enough to keep the chaperones entertained." |
Elizabeth Weitzman |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006) |
"A good-natured, gag-filled sequel to the hit animated movie about animals trying to evade extinction while trading one-liners." |
Jami Bernard |
Splat |
The Ice Harvest (2005) |
"[A] heist movie that mistakes bad taste for laughs." |
Jami Bernard |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Ice Princess (2005) |
"Harvard President Lawrence Summers recently touched off a firestorm by speculating on why more girls don't display an interest in science. He might consider Tim Fywell's Ice Princess Exhibit A." |
Elizabeth Weitzman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Ichi the Killer (2002) |
"The unceasing sadism is so graphically excessive, the director just ends up exposing his own obsession." |
Elizabeth Weitzman |
Tomato 3/4 |
Identity (2003) |
"I think it's a fascinating movie that, if you are able to make the leap it asks of you at about the three-quarter mark, will give you something to think and talk about for days." |
Jack Mathews |
Splat 2/4 |
Idlewild (2006) |
"The first film from OutKast iconoclasts André Benjamin (André 3000) and Antwan A. Patton (Big Boi) has all the wit and creativity of their music videos. And here's the bad news: That makes it at least an hour too long." |
Elizabeth Weitzman |
Splat 2/4 |
Illegal Tender (2007) |
"While Illegal Tender has misguided pretensions towards Serious Filmmaking, it's surprisingly likeable if you see it instead as a cheesy thriller good for a lazy Friday night." |
Elizabeth Weitzman |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Illusionist (2006) |
"It does not dazzle." |
Jack Mathews |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Imaginary Heroes (2004) |
"Hirsch is dead-on with his weary deadpan in the face of high school torment, sexual confusion and parental absurdity." |
Jami Bernard |
Tomato 3/5 |
Imagine That (2009) |
"For the first time since The Nutty Professor, Eddie Murphy successfully mixes his adult and kid-film personas -- imagine that." |
Joe Neumaier |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Imelda (2004) |
"An open-eyed biography of a woman who ranks among the vainest in modern history, and who -- from the evidence she provides in numerous interviews -- could be a case study of self-delusion and denial." |
Jack Mathews |
Tomato 3/5 |
In a Dream (2009) |
"Even in an era of 24-hour confessional TV, this look into complex emotions is gripping." |
Joe Neumaier |
Tomato 3/4 |
In America (2003) |
"The casting of real-life sisters Sarah and Emma Bolger is the stroke that gives In America its buoyancy." |
Jack Mathews |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
In Between Days (2006) |
"While Kim is unable to keep us riveted on her near-silent performance, the script and direction have a gentle sensitivity, subtly addressing cultural divisions while reminding us that angst, at least, is universal." |
Elizabeth Weitzman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
In Bruges (2008) |
"There are good moments laced through the severely uneven In Bruges, but the best reason for seeing it is Bruges itself." |
Jack Mathews |
Tomato 3/4 |
In Good Company (2004) |
"An amusing and unusually compassionate look at today's corporate culture." |
Jami Bernard |
Splat 2/4 |
In Her Shoes (2005) |
"A bungled mess that spends an hour creating two characters whose lives are about as believable as a successful ambush set by Wile E. Coyote for the Road Runner." |
Jack Mathews |
Splat 2/4 |
In My Country (2005) |
"An academic dis-cussion punctuated by shots of magnificent countryside harboring unspeakable grief." |
Jami Bernard |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
In My Skin (2003) |
"If you can get beyond the ick factor, there awaits an accomplished movie in the tradition of David Cronenberg, in which the body's festering serves as a departure point for an exploration of what makes humans tick." |
Jami Bernard |
Tomato 3/5 |
In Search of a Midnight Kiss (2008) |
"By the end, Holdridge has captured the bittersweet complexities of romance with a wisdom that proves surprisingly seductive." |
Elizabeth Weitzman |
Splat 2.5/4 |
In Search of Mozart (2006) |
"Educational, but not exactly inspiring." |
Elizabeth Weitzman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
In the Cut (2003) |
"I hate this movie." |
Jack Mathews |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
In the Face of Evil: Reagan's War |
"Makes good use of historical footage to show how a B-list Hollywood actor made the unlikely ascension to commander-in-chief." |
