Nadine (1987)

"Basinger and Bridges keep things hopping"

The Namesake (2007)

"Nair obviously cares deeply about these people and, through her sensitive storytelling, she persuades the audience to make an emotional investment in them as well."

The Nanny Diaries (2007)

"the movie has softened up a story that wasn't exactly hard-hitting to begin with. Polished, pleasant and generally pedestrian..."

Napoleon Dynamite (2004)

"It's easy to envision 'Napoleon' eventually becoming a staple of college DVD parties, in the same way that 'Office Space,' 'High Fidelity' and 'Bottle Rocket' have."

National Velvet (1944)

""Taylor at her most fetching""

The Nativity Story (2006)

"while the subject matter remains fascinating, the storytelling in director Catherine Hardwicke's film leaves much to be desired. ... reverent almost to a fault, yet its inspirational value is not particularly high."

Never Give a Sucker An Even Break (1941)

"one of the many reasons Fields is still acclaimed as a comic genius"

The New World (2005)

"Malick's screenplay seems intent on keeping all of these people at arm's length, as if they were wax figures in a museum, separated from the public by thick glass cases."

New York Stories (1989)

"As Meatloaf once said, two out of three ain't bad"

Next (2007)

"The ending of this film is not just a colossal cheat, it's a hard slap in the face to anyone who has invested his or her time in watching it. The preview audience responded with groans of disbelief and derisive laughter."

A Night at the Roxbury (1998)

"making a skit 30 times as long does not necessarily mean you've made it 30 times as funny; despite scattered laughs 'Roxbury' feels overextended..."

A Nightmare on Elm Street 3 - Dream Warriors (1987)

"about as good as this series ever got, but that's not exactly high praise"

Ninotchka (1939)

"one of Garbo's greatest hits, still a treat to watch"

Noises Off (1992)

"It was better on stage, but the movie isn't unwatchable"

North Country (2005)

"Sexual harassment is generally a complex topic (see David Mamet's 'Oleanna'), yet 'North Country' presents much of its material in cut-and-dried, black-and-white simplicity."

The Notorious Bettie Page (2006)

"Refreshingly, Mol doesn't play Page as a dumb bunny but as someone who discovered that narrow middle ground between sweetness and sexiness."

Notting Hill (1999)

"Make no mistake: Even those who've previously managed to resist the Julia Juggernaut are likely to cave in after seeing 'Notting Hill.'"

The Nun's Story (1959)

"One of Audrey's finest dramatic moments"

The Nutty Professor (1963)

""probably Lewis' masterpiece""
