W. (2008) |
"Whatever you want W. to be, you'll almost certainly be disappointed." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Tomato 4/5 |
The Wackness (2008) |
"Levine, who wrote the film as well as directed it, re-creates 1994 with the painstaking detail usually reserved for period pieces and costume dramas." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Splat 1/5 |
Waist Deep (2006) |
"A mean and depressing B-movie in which there's no one to root for or even care about." |
Randy Cordova |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Waiting... (2005) |
"As someone who spent time in a steakhouse kitchen, I can say Waiting . . . comes close to reality, especially with its cast of characters." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Waitress (2007) |
"As sweet as the pies that serve as its central gimmick." |

Tomato 4/5 |
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007) |
"It's the role of a lifetime for Reilly, who plays Cox from a teenager to an old man (older actors playing kids are a running joke)." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Tomato 4/5 |
Walk on Water (2005) |
"Affecting performances by the cast place those abstract issues firmly in the human world." |
Kerry Lengel |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
Walk the Line (2005) |
"In Walk the Line, Joaquin Phoenix doesn't look exactly like Johnny Cash. He doesn't sound exactly like Cash, either. But he is Johnny Cash." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 2/5 |
Walking Tall (2004) |
"It's yet another dumb-as-dirt revenge story, in which the basic rules of government -- and plain horse sense -- have been repealed." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 4.5/5 |
WALL-E (2008) |
"The animation is stunning; the landscapes of the futuristic Earth offer the Pixar folks ample opportunity to show off their wares." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Tomato 4/5 |
Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005) |
"The movie is filled with the usual Wallace & Gromit favorites, from meticulously designed miniature sets to chase scenes, double-entendres and sight gags built around tiny props and the clay figures, which seem quite alive at times." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 4/5 |
Wanted (2008) |
"A genuine thrill ride that has the added bonus of being an action movie you don't have to turn your brain off to enjoy." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Tomato 4/5 |
War of the Worlds (2005) |
"Drawbacks aside, with War of the Worlds, Hollywood is calling on Spielberg to deliver this summer's blockbuster, and he accomplishes the task. The movie is solid all the way around, and Spielberg's touches are everywhere." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 3/5 |
Watchmen (2009) |
"A (mostly) faithful re-creation of the comic. But it could have been so much more." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Tomato 4/5 |
Water (2006) |
"You'll leave the theater with a lot to think about, especially regarding the plight of women around the globe." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep (2007) |
"No surprises, really, just a nice-looking movie with good digital effects and a cute kid." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Tomato |
The Waterboy (1998) |
"It's definitely for the fans!" |
Bob Fenster |
Tomato 3/5 |
The Way Home (2002) |
"The pace is slow, the message none too subtle and the boy barely tolerable. But the film is still better than the mainstream run of movies from Hollywood." |
Richard Nilsen |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
We Are Marshall (2006) |
"Among sports movies, We Are Marshall scores enough for respectability." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
We Don't Live Here Anymore (2004) |
"Watts manages to make her Edith seem genuinely remorseful about her actions but unable to stop, and Ruffalo puts a believable hint of guilt in Jack's face that he carries through the film." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
We Own The Night (2007) |
"Phoenix is unquestionably the star of the film. His journey is particularly angst-ridden, and he shows it every step of the way." |

The Weather Man (2005) |
"The Weather Man has the chance to be this year's Sideways. If, that is, it's marketed right." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Wedding Crashers (2005) |
"The extended reception sequences are superbly done, and Vaughn and Wilson are at their best when they're being false and winning at the same time." |
Bill Muller |
Splat 1.5/5 |
The Wedding Date (2005) |
"As far as Big Day experiences go, a drunken speech from a distant relative would be far more entertaining -- and funnier -- than The Wedding Date." |
Bill Muller |
Tomato 3/5 |
A Wedding for Bella (2001) |
"Like a biscotti, this film is a yummy little nugget to enjoy for a short time, but not much more." |

Welcome to Collinwood (2002) |
"Self-consciously quirky and straining for idiosyncrasy, Welcome to Collinwood is a passable ensemble comedy that never hits its stride." |

Welcome to Mooseport (2004) |
"If you're looking for inoffensive material that will occasionally draw a chuckle, Welcome to Mooseport is for you." |

Tomato 4/5 |
Wendy and Lucy (2008) |
"Deliberately paced -- slow, even -- it's nevertheless an amazing, timely parable for increasingly desperate times." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Splat 3/5 |
Whale Rider (2003) |
"Refuses to get its toes wet, instead retreating into goody-goody fantasy." |
Richard Nilsen |
Tomato 4/5 |
What a Girl Wants (2003) |
"Predominantly fluffy and loveably goofy, mostly due to the presence of Bynes, who's definitely a star in the making." |
Bill Muller |

What Dreams May Come (1998) |
"Here's what's wrong with giant movie screens: You can fill them with extreme close-ups of Robin Williams' face!" |
Bob Fenster |
Splat 2/5 |
What Happens in Vegas (2008) |
"What Happens in Vegas . . . should have stayed in Vegas. Or in New York, where most of this predictable, uninspired film takes place. Or in Hollywood, where such lamebrained ideas are hatched." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Tomato 4/5 |
What Just Happened (2008) |
"It's another entertaining look at making films and a reminder that, with many of them, what goes on behind the scenes is the best part." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Tomato 4/5 |
What the Bleep Do We Know? (2004) |
"Like taking college physics from a really entertaining professor." |

When Do We Eat? (2006) |
"It borders on painful to see this cast go through the motions of this uninspired script." |
Richard Nilsen |
Tomato 3.5/5 |
Where the Wild Things Are (2009) |
"There is some real magic here. But there is also the feeling that something's missing, that Max's journey isn't quite complete; the dour mood of the monsters doesn't help." |
Bill Goodykoontz |
Tomato 3/5 |
Whip It (2009) |
"Whip It, set in the roller-derby subculture of Austin, is a sweet coming-of-age comedy, safe, familiar and comforting." |
Kerry Lengel |
Tomato 3/5 |
White Chicks (2004) |
"The Wayans brothers' easy charisma and charming good nature make up for a lot of shortcomings." |
Randy Cordova |
Tomato 3/5 |
White Countess (2005) |
"The White Countess, although it has its share of Masterpiece Theatre moments, is another film to remind us just how cosmopolitan is the Merchant-Ivory filmography." |
Richard Nilsen |
Splat 1.5/5 |
White Noise (2005) |
"You know a ghost story is in trouble when the leading man's wrinkles and scars are more intriguing than any of the on-screen spooks." |

The Whole Ten Yards (2004) |
"You'd have better luck locating the Lost Dutchman Mine than finding a chuckle in this film." |
