Splat 4/10 |
Nacho Libre (2006) |
"Libre is offensive, even if you take away the religious angle. It will insult your intelligence, as well as your sense of humor." |

The Nanny Diaries (2007) |
"Save the $10.00 and the 106 minutes." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 7/10 |
Nanny McPhee (2006) |
"A bizarrely colorful, over-the-top mash-up of Roald Dahl-esque Edwardian dramedy and the cover of the Rolling Stones' Their Satanic Majesties Request." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 9/10 |
Narc (2002) |
"This **** is the bomb. It belongs in the same company as the gritty '70s police dramas made by William Friedkin, Sidney Lumet and Al Pacino." |

Nathalie (2003) |
"A decent import with a nice ending -– and you couldn't ask for better acting talent." |
Jon Popick |
Splat 2/10 |
National Security (2003) |
"Black America's answer to Birth of a Nation. Security is probably the most racist film I've ever seen." |
Jon Popick |
Splat 5/10 |
National Treasure (2004) |
"It’s that kind of careful attention to detail that makes something like The Goonies more thrilling and easier to accept than this." |
Jon Popick |
Splat 3/10 |
The Nativity Story (2006) |
"Inexorably tedious, and full of performances that are either absurdly malevolent in an over-the-top way (like Ciarán Hinds' King Herod) or completely wooden (like everybody else)." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 7/10 |
The Navigators (2003) |
"If The Full Monty had been a drama, and didn't have the peeling or happy ending, it would probably have looked something like this." |
Jon Popick |
Splat 5/10 |
Never Been Kissed (1999) |
"Barrymore is actually becoming quite the deft physical comedienne, unafraid to make herself look unsightly for effect. But her performance isn’t enough to overcome even one of the other problems." |

New York Doll (2005) |
"At 75 minutes, you can’t afford to skip this one." |

New York Minute (2004) |
"Comes with an inherent disclaimer that nobody but 11-year-old girls are going to dig it." |

The Next Best Thing (2000) |
"The film starts out mildly interesting at best, before taking a very unexpected turn and spinning completely out of control." |

The Next Big Thing (2001) |
"The send-up here is relatively weak" |

Next Friday (1999) |
"A lifeless follow-up." |

Tomato 8/10 |
Nicholas Nickleby (2002) |
"This Nickleby thing might have more homosexual undertones than an Eddie Murphy film. And just when you think it can't get any more gay, in pops Nathan Lane." |

Nicotina (2004) |
"A whole lot of dark, real-time fun in Mexico City. I hear it’s better than being there. Safer, too, unless you’re a character in this film." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 7/10 |
The Night Listener (2006) |
"A surprisingly taut thriller, even though there really isn't anything that thrilling about the subject matter." |
Jon Popick |
Splat |
Nightwatching (2007) |
"Like making a biopic about Michelangelo and casting Benny Hill in the lead role." |

Nine Queens (2002) |
"Bielinsky's execution is nearly flawless." |

No Country for Old Men (2007) |
"It's the Coen's masterpiece." |

No Man's Land (2001) |
"Tanovic makes Land accessible and compelling enough for audiences everywhere to appreciate." |
Jon Popick |
Splat 5/10 |
No Reservations (2007) |
"Falls short, mostly through the inclusion of cringe-inducing dialogue like, 'I wish there was a cookbook for life.'" |
Jon Popick |
Splat 4/10 |
Norbit (2007) |
"Usually, it takes six or so months for an actor to parlay a Best Supporting Actor nomination into a cringe-worthy career-derailing performance in an unbelievably awful picture." |
Jon Popick |
Splat 5/10 |
North Country (2005) |
"Too long, and too heavy-handed." |
Jon Popick |
Splat 6/10 |
Northfork (2003) |
"There's a good film in there somewhere, but dam(n)ed if I could find it." |
Jon Popick |
Splat |
Not Another Teen Movie (2001) |
"There is, apparently, a very fine line between parody and suckiness. Spoof films, by definition, take ideas one step further than their predecessors. Not Another Teen Movie goes an extra couple steps, and it all comes off as frantic desperation." |
Jon Popick |
Splat 3/10 |
The Notebook (2004) |
"My eyes rolled so far back in my head, I actually saw my brain. And my brain was really pissed off about having to sit through pap like this." |

Tomato 7/10 |
Notes on a Scandal (2006) |
"A pair of crack performances." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato |
The Notorious Bettie Page (2006) |
"A biopic that is neither overly long (see Ray) nor slave to a paint-by-numbers format (see Ray)." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato |
Notorious C.H.O. The Movie (2002) |
"Much less dark than her previous theatrical effort." |
Jon Popick |
Tomato 6/10 |
Novocaine (2001) |
"Watkins is blessed with a terrific cast (well, as terrific as you can get with Caan aboard), and they turn the somewhat slight material into something worth watching." |

Nowhere in Africa (2003) |
"A likely contender for next spring's Foreign Film Oscar." |
