The Saint (1997) |
"The predictable action-thriller elements are all in place, from coke-sniffing, machine-gun-toting thugs to monotonous narrow escapes. The look is stylish, sound is above average, and the acting only as good as it has to be." |
Jeanne Aufmuth |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Salton Sea (2002) |
"Nearly manages to be what "Blow" couldn't - a perpetual night party that generates a sick fascination to the bitter end." |

The Santa Clause 2 (2002) |
"The Santa Clause 2 is chock full of heartwarming holiday cheer." |

Save the Last Dance (2001) |

Saw (2004) |

"No topic is too sacred for the ferocious Farrellys." |

Scary Movie 3 (2003) |
"Best way to ensure a film isn't taken too seriously? Cast Leslie Nielsen of Naked Gun fame as president of the United States. That'll do the trick." |

School for Scoundrels (2006) |
"It feels like the filmmakers put Old School and Napoleon Dynamite into a cinematic blender and hit frappe in hopes of making a delicious shake. They ended up with a tasteless one." |
Tyler Hanley |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
School of Rock (2003) |
"Funnyman Jack Black was born for this role – crisp, improvisational and brilliantly zany." |

Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004) |
"A handful of juvenile jokes and overblown computer effects push Doo 2 into strictly kid-cinema territory." |

Scooby-Doo - The Movie (2002) |
"Phony, computer-generated images packaged together with bad performances and distributed as joyless summer entertainment." |
