Tomato 3/4 |
The U.S. vs. John Lennon (2006) |
"Rarely have we seen Lennon so unguarded, impassioned and thoughtful as we do again and again here." |
Bob Strauss |
Tomato 3/4 |
U2 3D (2008) |
"U2 3D may feel at times like a truncated greatest-hits parade, but short of being right in the thick of it, you won't feel or see those hits delivered more directly." |
Glenn Whipp |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Ultimate X: The Movie (2002) |
"At a brief 42 minutes, we need more X and less blab." |
Glenn Whipp |
Tomato |
Un Secret (2008) |
"A Secret illuminates the most intimate personal histories against a perfectly detailed political and cultural background. It finds glorious forgiveness where it can, and accepts that when that can't be done, it just can't be done." |
Bob Strauss |
Splat 2/4 |
Uncovered: The War on Iraq (2004) |
"Even though Greenwald has an extensive Hollywood background, his showmanship abandons him when he takes on partisan projects such as this one." |
Bob Strauss |
Splat 2/4 |
Undead (2005) |
"This overlong zombie splatter movie is ultimately undone by bad acting, plot holes bigger than the perforations in the victims' torsos and an ending that raises more questions than it answers." |
Glenn Whipp |
Tomato |
Under Suspicion (2000) |
"Hackman really offers his many fans a satisfying feast here." |
Bob Strauss |
Tomato |
Under the Same Moon (2008) |
"Cliched but well-staged." |
|
Tomato |
Under the Sand (2001) |
"At the age of 33, Ozon has made a film with insights and compassion one might more reasonably expect from a director twice his age." |
Bob Strauss |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Under the Tuscan Sun (2003) |
"Makes for an eye-pleasing travelogue -- which is at least half the battle won for a project like this -- and our on-screen tour guide could not be more beguiling." |
Bob Strauss |
Tomato 3/4 |
Undercover Brother (2002) |
"A spirited and often funny lark of a movie." |
David Kronke |
Splat |
Underdog (2007) |
"It seems there are some things even Underdog can't conquer -- carelessness and mediocrity topping the list." |
Glenn Whipp |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Undertow (2004) |
"Undertow boasts atmosphere to burn. But it feels too much like a show, and that's something a filmmaker as organic and personal as Green can't seem to give his heart to." |
Bob Strauss |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Undisputed (2002) |
"Stripped-down to a point where it doesn't resemble a movie so much as it does pure, chemical testosterone, "Undisputed" is a prison boxing drama that you wish had something more than prison and boxing on its mind." |
Bob Strauss |
Tomato 3/4 |
Unfaithful (2002) |
"Here, Adrian Lyne comes as close to profundity as he is likely to get." |
Bob Strauss |
Splat 2.5/4 |
An Unfinished Life (2005) |
"The scenery has more definition than the people." |
Bob Strauss |
Tomato 4/4 |
United 93 (2006) |
"... a precise, thorough and unsentimental record, filled with indelible images that will prove hard to forget." |
Glenn Whipp |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The United States of Leland (2004) |
"Seems to be the result of too many repeat viewings of American Beauty." |
Bob Strauss |
Tomato 3/4 |
Unknown White Male (2005) |
"What will happen when the reinvented man encounters his past? Here's a film that almost demands a sequel." |
Glenn Whipp |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Unknown Woman (2006) |
"It manages to be brutal, deranged, ridiculous and heart-rending, all at once." |
Glenn Whipp |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Unleashed (2005) |
"There is much that's worthy about Unleashed, but you wish that somebody in charge would have reined in its dissonant excesses." |
Bob Strauss |
Tomato |
Unsettled (2008) |
"A bracing portrait of a country divided." |
Glenn Whipp |
Splat 2/4 |
Untraceable (2008) |
"The agony of Untraceable is as predictable as a computer program, and about as inhuman." |
Bob Strauss |
Tomato 3/4 |
Up and Down (2005) |
"A biting, darkly funny portrait of xenophobia, poverty and social confusion that has enveloped the Czech Republic some 15 years after Vaclav Havel's Velvet Revolution." |
Glenn Whipp |
Splat |
Up at the Villa (2000) |
"Director Philip Haas would rather shoot pretty pictures than in any way disturb his actors or any potential viewer. In that manner, he's true to Maugham, but more in the way that the letter has aged, not the spirit in which it was conceived." |
Bob Strauss |
Tomato 3/4 |
Up for Grabs (2005) |
"Even if you vaguely remember the outcome of this absurd episode, there are enough surprises and revelations to keep you on the edge of your seat." |
Glenn Whipp |
Tomato |
Up The Yangtze (2007) |
"Up the Yangtze shows us the individual impact of a big picture that is changing the lives of millions." |
|
Tomato 3/4 |
The Upside of Anger (2005) |
"Perhaps it's a sign, then, of how starved we are for movies with grown-up characters doing grown-up things that it's easy to ignore the downside of Upside and give the film a pass. Allen and Costner should find another movie to make together." |
Glenn Whipp |
Splat 2/4 |
Uptown Girls (2003) |
"Takes an extremely obvious comic situation ... and misses the easy laughs by miles." |
Bob Strauss |
