Jack Frost (1998) |
"No story, not enough humor, a silly setup, and a guy in the snowman suit who looks like he didn't make the first cut at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade." |
Bob Fenster |
Tomato 3/5 |
Jackass: Number Two (2006) |
"Yes, it contributes to the decline of Western civilization, but yes, it's funny." |
Annemarie Moody |
Splat 3/5 |
The Jacket (2005) |
"On the surface, the film comes off as fairly clever, but the more you examine the plot, the more flaws you'll see." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 2/5 |
Jake's Corner (2008) |
"The big premise in Jake's Corner is a little hard to swallow." |
Randy Cordova |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Jane Austen Book Club (2007) |
"Despite its flaws, Book Club leaves viewers with that best result of Austen films: a wonderful ache to fall in love. It didn't pierce my soul, but it definitely lifted my spirits." |

Tomato 3.5/5 |
Jarhead (2005) |
"It's a good thing Jarhead features strong acting; otherwise the uneven ratio of exposition to action would become unbearable." |

Tomato 4.5/5 |
JCVD (2008) |
"Van Damme is so good, and El Mechri's storytelling so entertaining, that JCVD takes its place alongside The Wrestler as one of the unlikeliest but most welcome comeback vehicles in ages." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Splat 2/5 |
Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003) |
"Salva is unable to sustain the concept, and the movie feels tedious rather than claustrophobic." |
Randy Cordova |
Tomato 4/5 |
Jellyfish (2008) |
"Most of the first hour passes without much more forward motion than its namesake. But in the corners and niches of that slow development, we get to know a handful of people, crisply drawn in fast sketches." |
Richard Nilsen |
Tomato 3/5 |
Jennifer's Body (2009) |
"While Fox's performance as a high-school girl possessed by a demon would seem key to the fortunes of the film, Amanda Seyfried, as her unlikely best friend, Needy, makes it more interesting than it would be." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Jersey Girl (2004) |
"Jersey Girl isn't Smith's best movie, but it is his most heartfelt." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 3/5 |
Jet Lag (2003) |
"A stagy romantic comedy that lacks an energetic story but is rescued by the talents of its two stars." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 3/5 |
Jindabyne (2007) |
"The frustration here is that none of this leads anywhere. Perhaps that is the point, that some mysteries are never solved, but Jindabyne could give us a little more to work with." |
Bill Muller |

John Q (2002) |
"A sappy, melodramatic Denzel Washington vehicle that ensnares you in the standard hostage-movie scenario and doesn't let go until the director runs the whole playbook." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 2/5 |
John Tucker Must Die (2006) |
"It's not really John Tucker who must die. But we ought to lay his tired teen-movie premise to rest." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 3/5 |
Johnny English (2003) |
"Johnny English won't leave you shaken or stirred; it's simply quite likable, and there's nothing wrong with that." |

Tomato 3.5/5 |
Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008) |
"The real star here is the pair of 3-D glasses you're handed when you walk into the theater. With them, Journey is a kick (if not much more)." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Joyeux Noël (2006) |
"Well-photographed and acted, Joyeux Noël suffers most from the inevitable comparison with its betters, such films as Paths of Glory or All Quiet on the Western Front." |
Richard Nilsen |
Tomato 4/5 |
Julie & Julia (2009) |
"Although the calories ultimately are empty, they sure are enjoyable." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Jumper (2008) |
"Jumper strains credulity, even for a fantasy-action film; its lead character isn't particularly likable; and Samuel L. Jackson sports funny hair." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Tomato 3/5 |
Junebug (2005) |
"Thanks to Adams' performance and strong story, it makes for a mildly entertaining Southern-fried experience." |
Kathy Cano Murillo |
Splat 2/5 |
Jungle Book 2 (2003) |
"That scratching sound you hear isn't Baloo the bear rubbing against a tree, it's Disney scraping the bottom of the sequel barrel with a follow-up that has none of the charm or creativity of the original." |
Scott Craven |
Tomato |
Juno (2007) |
"Once [Page] - and her character - move beyond the too-cool-for-school act, Juno becomes something special, and memorable." |

Just Friends (2005) |
"During the credits, Reynolds is again shown in the fat suit while singing a power ballad, reminding us all how funny Just Friends could have been." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 3/5 |
Just Like Heaven (2005) |
"The film is as insubstantial as the clouds on the poster." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 3/5 |
Just Married (2003) |
"Rubbery-faced Kutcher is a nice match for Murphy, and their chemistry keeps the movie afloat even when the gags stretch thin." |
Randy Cordova |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Just My Luck (2006) |
"Just My Luck is a fortune cookie of a movie, without the fortune: The outside looks sweet and tasty, the inside is hollow and dry." |
Kathy Cano Murillo |
