Rating Title Year Quote Author

Tomato

I Am Sam (2002)

"Although 'Sam' doesn't always work ... when it connects, it does so with surprising force. A word to the wise: Do not leave your tissues at home."

James Sanford

Tomato

I Heart Huckabees (2004)

"plays entirely by its own rules. Russell has never been a filmmaker who kowtowed to convention... and the satiric 'Huckabees' is no exception. "

James Sanford

Splat
1/5

I Know Who Killed Me (2007)

"Small wonder that distributor TriStar Pictures has gone to great pains to hide this fiasco from critics: It's certainly the worst movie Lohan has ever appeared in and it's a formidable contender for worst movie of the year, period."

James Sanford

Splat
2/5

I Love Trouble (1994)

"Neither terribly funny nor convincingly romantic"

James Sanford

Tomato
3/5

I Married a Witch (1942)

"Entertaining whimsy; not unlike 'Bewitched'"

James Sanford

Splat

I Spy (2002)

"a wholly generic odd-couple action comedy that blows things up at regular intervals in the hopes of drowning out the sad sound of its jokes falling flat"

James Sanford

Splat

I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998)

"throws all logic out the window, raises the gore quotient and offers more offensive racial stereotypes than any WB or UPN sitcom."

James Sanford

Tomato
3/5

I Was a Male War Bride (1949)

""Cary carries off a one-joke premise""

James Sanford

Splat

I'll Be Home For Christmas (1998)

"Next to this, 'Santa Claus Conquers the Martians' looks like a work of depth and brilliance."

James Sanford

Tomato
3/4

Ice Age: The Meltdown (2006)

"a worthy, highly enjoyable follow-up... it has the same lively pace, suspenseful situations and off-the-wall jokiness of its predecessor."

James Sanford

Splat

The Ice Harvest (2005)

"Every so often, you encounter a real mind-boggler of a movie, a film that is misguided in nearly every respect, so much so that you wonder why it was ever shot. 'The Ice Harvest' is one such picture."

James Sanford

Splat
0/5

Ice Pirates (1984)

"It'll really frost you"

James Sanford

Tomato

Ice Princess (2005)

"a comedy-drama that will charm young girls and may even amuse their somewhat older chaperones."

James Sanford

Splat

Identity (2003)

"keeps viewers guessing, provides several solid jolts, builds to a perfectly acceptable ending -- then can't resist adding on a few more twists that finally push the picture dangerously close to the border of unintentional comedy."

James Sanford

Tomato
3/4

Idiocracy (2006)

"...seems more like 'Selected Scenes from 'Idiocracy'' than it does an actual film. Still, there are some genuine laughs to be had here, and Judge's vision of a future dominated entirely by morons is memorably bizarre."

James Sanford

Tomato
3/4

Idlewild (2006)

"an eccentric, audacious musical that, like "Moulin Rouge," blends backstage drama, tragic romance and flights of fantasy into a story that bravely jumps from genre to genre and from era to era."

James Sanford

Tomato

Igby Goes Down (2002)

"Nearly overflowing with boldly eccentric people and lacerating dialogue, 'Igby' throws 'Catcher in the Rye,' 'The Royal Tenenbaums' and 'Less Than Zero' into the Cuisinart and blends them into a cocktail that packs a real kick."

James Sanford

Splat
1.5/4

Illegal Tender (2007)

"De Jesus' outbursts are the only excitement in 'Illegal,' since the performances of most of the rest of the cast are barely amateurish and Reyes' story is not so much old-school as it is old-hat."

James Sanford

Tomato
3/4

The Illusionist (2006)

"builds slowly and steadily to a finale that will please many viewers and irritate others... 'The Illusionist' has many tricks up its sleeve, and it's not eager to give away every secret."

James Sanford

Splat
1/5

Impulse (1990)

"a laugh riot -- unintentionally, of course"

James Sanford

Splat

In & Out (1997)

"Like a senior citizen with a nose-ring, 'In & Out' wears its hipness rather uncomfortably."

James Sanford

Tomato
3.5/4

In America (2003)

"...says far more about the American experience than any of the jingoistic anthems on the radio or the pre-packaged patriotic speeches on the campaign trail."

James Sanford

Splat
.5/4

The In Crowd (2000)

"full of attractive, listless actors who apparently couldn't get jobs on any of the WB's teen soap operas striking poses and mouthing dusty dialogue."

James Sanford

Splat

In Dreams (1998)

"Bening and Downey, perhaps forgetting they're in one of those new-fangled 'talkies,' recklessly indulge in the kinds of outrageous facial expressions not seen onscreen since the last chapter of 'The Perils of Pauline' unspooled."

James Sanford

Tomato

In Good Company (2004)

"often witty and true to life, but too frequently opts for easy resolutions and sunny wish-fulfillment instead of investigating what makes these people tick."

James Sanford

Tomato

In Her Shoes (2005)

"manages to pull off a fairly astonishing hat trick: It's generally quite funny, its emotional moments ring true, and it features a trio of outstanding performances..."

James Sanford

Tomato

In the Bedroom (2001)

""Bedroom" is unflinchingly direct and true to life, even when it addresses grief, another topic traditionally off-limits in the movies."

James Sanford

Tomato

In the Cut (2003)

"for all its flaws, there's something about this jittery thriller that's likely to get under your skin..."

James Sanford

Splat
2.5/5

In the Land of Women (2007)

"reminiscent of those dreaded "and then I suddenly realized something" stories that surface week after week in college writing workshops. ...There are a few superb moments... they sparkle like a handful of diamonds scattered across a sandbox."

James Sanford

Splat
1/4

In The Mix (2005)

"If you don't buy into the idea that Usher is the foxiest brother ever to set foot on the screen, you are probably not the target audience for 'Mix,' since it has little else to offer except sizable servings of beefcake."

James Sanford

Splat
2/4

In the Valley of Elah (2007)

"The movie wears each of (its) hot-button issues as casually as a runway model might sport the latest Hermes scarf. The topics are brought up, shown off and then, in most cases, replaced with something else."

James Sanford

Tomato

An Inconvenient Truth (2006)

"The material is presented clearly and, for the most part, persuasively, although the side-trips into Gore's family history... seem like the minibiographies that are traditionally served up during election time."

James Sanford

Tomato

The Incredibles (2004)

"...sounds an alarm about the perils of conformity, particularly if being one of the crowd means having to deny your true nature. ... The Incredibles live up to their billing."

James Sanford

Splat
2/5

The Incredibly True Adventures of Two Girls in Love (1995)

"about twice as cutesy as it needs to be"

James Sanford

Tomato
5/5

The Innocents (1961)

"A real shocker, it chills the heart."

James Sanford

Tomato

Inside Man (2006)

"In this tricky suspense story, nothing is exactly what it seems to be; Lee delights in finding the unexpected complexities in what might have been a standard heist movie."

James Sanford

Tomato

The Insider (1999)

"a well-written, masterfully acted piece of work with many thought-provoking points to make about what happens when we let outside interests determine what is and is not news. From the average moviegoer, however, the response is likely to be a loud 'ho hum"

James Sanford

Tomato

Insomnia (2002)

"Anyone who caught the original "Insomnia" will tell you Skjoldbjaerg did a solid job with this material. Nolan and his team, however, have taken the story to new heights."

James Sanford

Splat
1.5/4

Instinct (1999)

"anyone who goes to 'Instinct' expecting a terrifying thriller will find 'The Serenity of the Gorillas' is a long, long way from 'The Silence of the Lambs.'"

James Sanford

Tomato
3/5

Interiors (1978)

"Probably the best of Allen's Bergman tributes"

James Sanford

Tomato
3/5

Interview with the Vampire (1994)

"Not what it could have been, but memorably moody"

James Sanford

Splat

Into the Blue (2005)

"a water-logged melodrama... If the treasure hunt fails, will anyone care, as long as Walker and Alba sport sexy swimwear? "

James Sanford

Tomato
3/4

Intolerable Cruelty (2003)

"Watching this all play out is like snacking on meringue cookies and champagne: You'll certainly enjoy it, but you're likely to crave something a bit more substantial later on."

James Sanford

Splat
1/5

Invaders From Mars (1986)

"a clunky remake that fails to frighten"

James Sanford

Tomato
2.5/4

The Invasion (2007)

"neither as awful as the advance buzz suggested nor as gripping as it could have been... at least it has a few authentic shocks and some bright ideas rattling around in the chaos."

James Sanford

Tomato
4/5

The Invisible Man Returns (1940)

"Lots of fun"

James Sanford

Tomato

The Iron Giant (1999)

"a first-rate adventure, with plenty of humor and suspense..."

James Sanford

Splat

The Island (2005)

"If you don't leave the theater with aching eyes and ringing ears, Bay and company won't feel they've done their job properly."

James Sanford

Tomato
4/5

Isle of the Dead (1945)

""memorably moody""

James Sanford

Splat
1/5

It Takes Two (1995)

"To quote one of the characters, 'We mustn't! We mustn't!'"

James Sanford
