Splat
C-

Nacho Libre (2006)

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

Eugene Novikov

Splat
D+

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."

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
B

Nanny McPhee (2006)

"Both very odd and very straightforward."

Eugene Novikov

Splat
C+

Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

"Ostentatious and pointless, firing quirkiness out of a machine gun and saying nothing in the process."

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
B+

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."

Eugene Novikov

Splat
D

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."

Eugene Novikov

Splat
D+

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."

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
3/4

Never Been Kissed (1999)

"I was too delighted with the last two hours to complain."

Eugene Novikov

Splat
C

Never Die Alone (2004)

"Loses all credibility every time Arquette appears on screen."

Eugene Novikov

D+

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."

Eugene Novikov

Splat
C-

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."

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
B-

Night Watch (2005)

"It's frustrating, and clumsy, and to be honest pretty ugly. Yet there's something to it."

Eugene Novikov

Splat
C

Nights in Rodanthe (2008)

"Okay, look: everybody has got to stop crying."

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
A-

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."

Eugene Novikov

Splat
D+

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."

Eugene Novikov

-

The Ninth Gate (1999)

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
B+

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

Tomato
B

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

Tomato
B

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."

Eugene Novikov

-

Not of This World (1999)

Click here to see the review.

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
B-

The Notebook (2004)

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

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
B-

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."

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
B

The Notorious Bettie Page (2006)

"With full awareness of the conventions of the biopic, the movie plays with our expectations."

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
3.5/4

Notting Hill (1999)

"This is a perfect example of how good 'mainstream' movies can be."

Eugene Novikov

Tomato
B

Nowhere to Hide (2000)

"It's funny, cool, exhilirating, eye-popping, fun."

Eugene Novikov

Splat
D+

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."

Eugene Novikov
