"Oh, this is such a gargantuan put-on." |

Nancy Drew (2007) |
"The central puzzle has a noirish flavor that would have made it seem promising were the movie paying attention. Sadly, it's off gallivanting in the land of the Disney Channel." |

Nanny McPhee (2006) |
"Both very odd and very straightforward." |

Napoleon Dynamite (2004) |
"Ostentatious and pointless, firing quirkiness out of a machine gun and saying nothing in the process." |

Narc (2002) |
"There's a sadness in [Carnahan's] vision, not just violence, and we feel a connection with these people on a human level, and a gratefulness, too." |

National Treasure 2 : Book of Secrets (2007) |
"A clearinghouse for Things You Wouldn't Expect to See A-List Actors Say With a Straight Face." |

Never Back Down (2008) |
"Speaking as someone who approached Never Back Down with curiosity and hope rather than a sense of obligation, I implore you to stay away." |

The New World (2005) |
"Malick comes out with a movie about once every ten years, but I think I've had about enough. You can keep him." |

Nicholas Nickleby (2002) |
"Slight and inconsequential, vacillating uncomfortably between airy comedy and painfully earnest drama, directed with no sense of rhythm by Douglas McGrath." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B- |
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008) |
"If we're going to have a comic recycle his schtick, there are few I'd prefer to Cera, whose hesitant, awkwardly verbal stock character is one of the most reliably funny tropes in mainstream comedy today." |

Night Watch (2005) |
"It's frustrating, and clumsy, and to be honest pretty ugly. Yet there's something to it." |

Nine Queens (2002) |
"So engaging, so entertaining is this Mametian feast of con games and double-crosses that the subtitles seem to disappear and the reel change marks may as well not exist." |

Ninja Assassin (2009) |
"Maybe 50 minutes into the 96-minute running time, the film goes south as quickly and decisively (if not quite as badly) as any I've ever seen." |

No Reservations (2007) |
"The film, directed by A-lister Scott Hicks, positively glows -- sweet, understated, never too cloying, it has a light touch with metaphors and a charm that formula can't keep down." |
Eugene Novikov |
Tomato B- |
North Country (2005) |
"There are stretches where it builds nicely, but eventually it comes as close as any movie ever has to simply exploding right there on the screen." |
Eugene Novikov |

Northfork (2003) |
"There's always the scenery, no matter what you may think of the film's bizarre melange of surrealism and metaphysics." |
Eugene Novikov |

Not Another Teen Movie (2001) |
"Nothing here breaks new ground, but funny is funny is funny, and Joel Gallen's sly little movie is funny enough." |

The Notebook (2004) |
"The film does absolutely nothing new, brave or surprising, but it treads its familiar ground with a comfortable, well-practiced gait." |

Notes on a Scandal (2006) |
"Dench's Barbara Covett lacks the true menace to make her into an effective villain, and the recognizable humanity to make the lack of menace irrelevant." |

The Notorious Bettie Page (2006) |
"With full awareness of the conventions of the biopic, the movie plays with our expectations." |

The Number 23 (2007) |
"It's so bad that it almost inadvertently becomes interesting, and the last twenty minutes take the viewer to impressive heights of inexplicable silliness." |
