Tomato

Annie Get Your Gun (1950)

"The chemistry between Hutton and Keel is delightful and when his full-throttle baritone meets her rich alto in the duets, you'll be bewitched."

James Sanford

Splat

The Anniversary Party (2001)

"Everyone gets their own moment to shine -- Paltrow and Adams are particularly funny -- but all too often we laugh at these people, not with them..."

James Sanford

Splat
2/5

Another Stakeout (1993)

""the initial sparkle has all but faded""

James Sanford

Tomato

The Ant Bully (2006)

"a likable if unspectacular comedy with a message... The voicework by all concerned is terrific."

James Sanford

Splat

Antitrust (2001)

"It's refreshing to see a filmmaker who's well aware of the limitations of his material, someone who can step back and say, 'Hey, this isn't 'Schindler's List': We're just trying to give the audience two hours of corny fun.'"

James Sanford

Tomato

Antwone Fisher (2002)

"Almost all of Washington's film has the ring of emotional honesty; the film is marred only by an overbearing feel-good finale that ties up an assortment of loose ends in a too-tidy bundle."

James Sanford

Tomato

Antz (1998)

"exciting, often hilarious and frequently wondrous film... Adults who live in fear of seeing non-Disney animated movies would be well-advised to overcome their prejudices."

James Sanford

Splat

Any Given Sunday (1999)

"When pressed to say what has changed football from an all-American game into the sleazy business it is today, Stone feebly points a finger at television as the culprit, then wriggles away from the question."

James Sanford

Splat
1.5/4

Anything Else (2003)

"...this time out, Allen has picked his own pocket and found nothing but dust."

James Sanford

Tomato
2.5/4

The Apostle (1997)

"There are scattered inspired moments throughout this two-and-a-half hour epic but, like many actor-directors, Duvall is so in love with his material -- and his star -- that he just can't say 'cut.'"

James Sanford

Splat

Apt Pupil (1998)

""Pupil" demonstrates Singer's eye for framing shots and his skill in bringing out the best in his stars. Even so, there's something amiss here."

James Sanford

Tomato
2.5/4

Aquamarine (2006)

"much easier to sit through than your average Hilary Duff vehicle... and, for its target audience, it's sure to be a spring break must-see."

James Sanford

Splat
2/4

Arctic Tale (2007)

"(like) those cunningly engineered Disney 'True-Life Adventures'... in which scorpions appeared to dance... and supposedly lovelorn squirrels awaited what the narrator called their 'moment of fulfillment.'"

James Sanford

Splat
.5/4

Are We Done Yet? (2007)

"the most mechanical kind of moviemaking... Every time you think 'Done' has gone as low as it can go, it manages to sink a little bit further into the septic tank..."

James Sanford

Splat
1/5

Aria (1987)

"pretentious piffle that's pretty much one sour note after another"

James Sanford

Tomato

The Aristocrats (2005)

"shows that a simple story can turn into a kind of verbal jazz... each performer can put his or her own personal stamp on it, making it longer or cruder or more sophisticated."

James Sanford

Tomato
3.5/4

Army of Shadows (1969)

"Although it has several suspenseful sequences, "Shadows" is not a spy thriller, precisely. It's much more along the lines of a melancholy mood piece..."

James Sanford

Tomato
5/5

Arthur (1981)

"One of the best comedies of the 1980s; Moore's signature role"

James Sanford

Splat
1/5

Assassins (1995)

"a thriller that's almost as exciting as a Read-A-Thon"

James Sanford

Tomato

Assault on Precinct 13 (2005)

"makes optimum use of a well-selected cast, all of whom put considerable energy, quirkiness and even humor into should have been two-dimensional roles."

James Sanford

Splat
2/4

The Astronaut Farmer (2007)

"Family-oriented fantasy, paranoia thriller, midlife-crisis drama... It's as if the screenwriters felt obligated to throw in a few ingredients for every possible audience..."

James Sanford

Splat

The Astronaut's Wife (1999)

"the movie is essentially an update of the 1958 drive-in classic "I Married A Monster From Outer Space"... lumbers to a wholly predictable conclusion..."

James Sanford

Tomato
4/5

At Close Range (1986)

""a dark jewel of a drama, with first-rate performances""

James Sanford

Splat

At First Sight (1998)

"Though derived from a true story chronicled by Dr. Oliver Sacks in his 1996 book "An Anthropologist On Mars," "Sight" always seems closer to soap opera than case study."

James Sanford

Tomato
2.5/4

ATL (2006)

"If many of the situations in "ATL" are familiar and the characters' attitude changes sometimes hard to buy... the movie does a fine job of capturing the atmosphere of inner-city Atlanta..."

James Sanford

Splat
2/4

Atlantis: The Lost Empire (2001)

"certainly an eye-appealing film, with lush Cinemascope vistas and rich colors, but it's also a relatively unimaginative and bland adventure..."

James Sanford

Tomato

Austin Powers in Goldmember (2002)

"When "Goldmember" clicks, it's irresistibly wacky... When it clunks, it's usually because Myers has played a joke out and can't resist trying to get one last laugh out of it."

James Sanford

Tomato

Auto Focus (2002)

"offers a step-by-step course in how to transform yourself from church-going family man to professional sex addict; instead of being your average 12-step program, this personality overhaul takes Crane approximately 12 years to complete."

James Sanford

Splat
1.5/4

Autumn in New York (2000)

"Were you to watch the movie's first 20 minutes, you might think you were about to see another variation on Gere's megahit 'Pretty Woman'... Once it's revealed that Charlotte is a Pretty Sick Woman, however, the film becomes dour and tedious..."

James Sanford

Tomato

The Aviator (2004)

"a pretty good collection of Howard Hughes' greatest hits... even when the storytelling falls short, the movie remains a banquet for the eyes..."

James Sanford

Splat
2/5

Ay, Carmela! (1991)

"Not Maura's best, but OK"

James Sanford
