Jack & Sarah (1996)

"Well-performed domestic comedy-drama"

Jacob's Ladder (1990)

"Good premise undercut by too much last-minute editing"

Jane Eyre (1996)

"an O.K. adaptation, most notable for Hurt's performance"

Jaws 3 (1983)

""the highlight is the puffer fish that floats into the opening credits -- the rest is like week-old sushi""

Jesus Camp (2006)

"fascinating, eye-opening ... Although non-believers might find some of Fischer's rituals laughable, 'Jesus Camp' takes both the woman and her crusade very seriously, as it should."

JFK (1991)

"whether or not you agree with Stone's theory, you'll be wowed by his filmmaking"

Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life is Calling (1986)

"Completely forgettable"

Joe Somebody (2001)

"Neither abysmally bad nor truly good, this is filmmaking McDonald's-style: You know early on what you've let yourself in for and, while it's not too tasty, it's reasonably easy to digest."

Johnny Dangerously (1984)

""what looks like a sure thing misfires miserably""

Johns (1996)

"Gritty, grim and not wholly believable"

Joshua (2002)

"Ultimately, we're left with 90 minutes worth of good intentions and sweet sentiments that never coalesce into an involving story."

Joy Ride (2001)

"This is a drive-in movie supreme, a suspense saga with several wicked shocks and at least as many hearty laughs."

Junebug (2005)

"comes on like a carbon copy of 'Meet the Parents,' then turns the concept inside out, revealing unexpected depths and shades in what initially looked like worn-out material."

Jurassic Park III (2001)

"When signing on to a movie like this, an actor might want to paraphrase Spencer Tracy's famous advice: Learn your lines and try not to bump into the special effects."

Just Like Heaven (2005)

"Witherspoon officially claims Meg Ryan's title as the reigning queen of romantic comedy. ...(Her) disarming charm carries the day and saves the story. All hail the queen."

Just My Luck (2006)

"sheer bubblegummy fantasy, designed to appeal to young women who daydream about starring in their own versions of 'Sex and the City.' ...It's also the sort of film that Lohan has now outgrown."
