Tomato 2/5 |
Nacho Libre (2006) |
"The only gag here, as far as I can tell, is Black squeezing himself into a pair of red tights and prancing around like a mental patient. Funny yes, but over the course of an hour and a half, it wears a wee thin." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 3/5 |
Naked in Ashes (2005) |
"Paula Fouce's documentary about several of these yogis gives us a kind of cinéma vérité peek into their lives as they perform their rituals and prepare for the great meeting, or Kumbh Mela, of yogis in Ujjain, held in 2003." |
Richard Nilsen |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
The Namesake (2007) |
"This is a wonderful movie." |
Randy Cordova |
Tomato 3/5 |
Nancy Drew (2007) |
"Nancy Drew is a lark but nothing more, asking little from the audience while it flits from scene to scene." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 3/5 |
The Nanny Diaries (2007) |
"It sounds like the ultimate chick flick with crossover potential -- Scarlett Johansson learning a lot about life and a little about love in a film based on a cornerstone of chick lit -- but not even chicks will get much out of The Nanny Diaries." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Splat 3/5 |
Nanny McPhee (2006) |
"The fun is doled out in small portions and the film is so passive that younger kids will probably fidget in their seats." |
Kathy Cano Murillo |
Tomato 4/5 |
Napoleon Dynamite (2004) |
"Has more belly laughs than 10 studio-produced, star-vehicle comedies." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 3/5 |
Narc (2002) |
"In the end, the movie collapses on its shaky foundation despite the best efforts of director Joe Carnahan." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 1/5 |
National Lampoon's Van Wilder (2002) |
"This movie, a certain scene in particular, brought me uncomfortably close to losing my lunch." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 2/5 |
National Security (2003) |
"Someone has to save us from Lawrence's onslaught of cinematic dross." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 2/5 |
National Treasure (2004) |
"Almost every scene in this generic action movie is ripped off from somewhere else." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 3/5 |
National Treasure 2 : Book of Secrets (2007) |
" Let's not kid anyone here. This franchise is all about dumb fun." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
The Nativity Story (2006) |
"The Nativity Story becomes the anti-Passion, a movie that makes a statement against violence rather than exploiting it." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 4/5 |
Neil Young - Heart of Gold (2006) |
"When it comes to pop-music icons, Neil Young is the full package." |

Splat 1.5/5 |
Never Back Down (2008) |
"With its thin characters and derivative plot, the finished product seems more like a marketing concept than an actual film." |
Randy Cordova |
Splat |
Never Been Kissed (1999) |
"A comedy of humiliation that mistakes bathos for humor." |
Bob Fenster |
Tomato 4/5 |
Never Been Thawed (2006) |
"Essentially one long goof, but it's a well-executed goof and a pretty fearless one at that." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 1.5/5 |
Never Die Alone (2004) |
"Never Die Alone is soft and squishy, lacking tension and suspense, not to mention logic." |
Randy Cordova |
Splat 1/5 |
New in Town (2009) |
"New in Town is a perfectly dreadful movie. You end up really reaching if you try to pinpoint the film's redeeming qualities." |
Randy Cordova |
Splat 2.5/5 |
The New World (2005) |
"There's a problem when the movie about the European conquest of America seems longer than the actual conquest itself." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 3/5 |
New York Doll (2005) |
"As the credits roll, New York Doll transforms from a puff piece about an aging rock star into a moving rumination on a man's final grasp for redemption." |
Michael Senft |
Splat 2/5 |
New York Minute (2004) |
"It's generally good policy to be wary of entertainers who are more famous for their product lines than actually performing." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 2/5 |
Next Day Air (2009) |
"The filmmakers behind Next Day Air probably have posters of Guy Ritchie and Quentin Tarantino lining their bedroom walls." |

Tomato 3.5/5 |
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008) |
"It comes up a little short of the classic it might have become, but it's still a knowing portrayal of young love lost and found." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Tomato 3/5 |
Night at the Museum (2006) |
"It's never too late to enjoy a little holiday fantasy, such as spending a Night at the Museum." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 3/5 |
Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009) |
"It's not a bad movie. Just an unnecessary one." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Splat 2/5 |
The Night Listener (2006) |
"The movie might make for a good book, but it's too awkward and lacks the necessary action for a film. And Williams' rather sluggish approach doesn't help much. Eventually, we just aren't interested in tagging along with him." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 3/5 |
Night Watch (2005) |
"The faux mythology may be cheesy, the grandiose plot stretched thin and full of holes, but underneath the recycled story and style is a hint of something troubling and real." |
Kerry Lengel |
Splat 1.5/5 |
Nights in Rodanthe (2008) |
"There's nothing like a good tearjerker. Unfortunately, Nights in Rodanthe isn't a good tearjerker, although the characters on-screen shed tears and the movie is pretty jerky." |
Randy Cordova |
Tomato |
Nim's Island (2008) |
"Nim's Island is an old-fashioned kids' movie. Parents might find flaws, but the 12-and-younger set will find characters and a movie worth rooting for." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Tomato 4/5 |
Nine Queens (2002) |
"Driven by a plot that's so tightly wound, we cannot look away for wanting to know what will happen next and who is double-crossing whom." |
Richard Nilsen |
Splat 2/5 |
Ninja Assassin (2009) |
"This movie may be filled with razor-sharp shuriken and katanas, but as far as the filmmaking goes, it's a blunt instrument." |
Kerry Lengel |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
No Country for Old Men (2007) |
"Bardem's unnerving performance is the one that will stay with you." |
Randy Cordova |
Splat 3/5 |
No Reservations (2007) |
"No amount of chemistry or comedy could make what's always bound to happen next seem any less predictable." |
Ed Masley |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Nobel Son (2008) |
"Although sometimes too self-consciously odd for its own good, the film is at times rollicking good fun, with Alan Rickman having a ball offending everyone within earshot as the brilliant, self-centered Eli Michaelson." |

Nola (2004) |
"Combines a worn-out premise -- young woman leaves unhappy home for big city -- with some of the silliest characters ever to reach the screen." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Norbit (2007) |
"This gross comedy hardly seems like the best way to exploit Murphy's talents." |
Randy Cordova |
Splat 3/5 |
North Country (2005) |
"North Country is a "message movie" with a target so big that it's impossible to miss, which is part of the trouble." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 4/5 |
Northfork (2003) |
"A compelling juxtaposition of the poignant and the bizarre, a movie that tosses moviemaking rules into the nearest Cuisinart." |

The Notebook (2004) |
"You can't write off The Notebook as just another tearjerker because the characters are brought to life in such elegant fashion." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Notes on a Scandal (2006) |
"The movie serves as a convenient locale for Dench and Blanchett to showcase their abilities, but it could be more involving." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 3/5 |
Nothing Like the Holidays (2008) |
"Nothing Like the Holidays is vaguely unsatisfying, caught somewhere in the middle between popcorn flick and serious cinema." |
Kerry Lengel |
Splat 2.5/5 |
Notorious (2009) |
"If there's a guide book on how to create a standard rags-to-riches music biopic, the makers of Notorious must have memorized every page." |
Randy Cordova |
Splat 2/5 |
The Notorious Bettie Page (2006) |
"It isn't a bad film, but it isn't a good film, either. Basically, it's a movie that doesn't have a good reason for having been made." |
