A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |

About Schmidt (2002) |
"Nicholson has intentionally de-Jacked himself to for
this film, and the result is a performance that ranks alongside any this
veteran actor has ever given." |

Tomato 3.5/4 |
Angel Eyes (2001) |
"There aren't enough grown-up relationships on screen these days. Angel Eyes is refreshing in its refusal to stoop to easy cliches." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3/4 |
Anger Management (2003) |
"Not a classic comedy by any stretch of the imagination, but certainly one of the few Adam Sandler movies that sent me home feeling good as opposed to feeling…well, angry." |

The Answer Man (2009) |

Tomato 4/4 |
The Astronaut Farmer (2007) |

Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3/4 |
Atonement (2007) |
"I don't ever recall seeing a movie that did to me what Atonement did. It started off strong, then completely stopped working for me around the halfway point. Then, at the last possible second, the film somehow managed to turn itself back around." |
Mike McGranaghan |
Tomato 3/4 |
Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002) |

Adventures of Sharkboy and Lava Girl in 3-D (2005) |
"Considering the fact that Sharkboy and Lavagirl is packed wall-to-wall with fantastic worlds of imagination, I’d rather have seen them in [full] color than in 3-D." |
