Jackass: Number Two (2006) |
"Whether you laugh, shriek or fight the urge to puke reveals as much about you as years of psychotherapy." |

Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Jane Austen Book Club (2007) |
"The film has an undeniable, easygoing charm. Real life is seldom so pleasingly plotted, but then real life is what people go to movies like this to get away from." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Jar City (2008) |
"Director Baltasar Kormakur interweaves taciturn Scandinavian humor and morbid violence for a unique combination of flavors." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 1/4 |
Jarhead (2005) |
"It's the cinematic equivalent of marching in circles." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
JCVD (2008) |
"This is not only a Van Damme movie that will make you laugh -- on purpose -- it could very well make you cry." |

Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003) |
"Larger in scope but looser in construction than the first, Jeepers Creepers 2 will satisfy undemanding genre fans but leave those in search of an intelligent guilty pleasure feeling shortchanged." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 1/4 |
Jennifer's Body (2009) |
"It's a serviceable premise, but the execution fails on almost every level." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Jersey Girl (2004) |
"Although the story is fiction, the emotions are real." |

Joe Somebody (2001) |
"Not something to write home about." |

Splat 2/4 |
John Q (2002) |
"A polemic in search of a plot." |
Jeff Strickler |
Splat 1/4 |
John Tucker Must Die (2006) |
"There is exactly one worthwhile sequence in the movie, the bit where the trio slip him a bottle of estrogen pills before a game, transforming him into a distraught, emotionally unstable crybaby." |
Colin Covert |
Splat .5/4 |
Johnny English (2003) |
"A tedium torture test produced with little money and less comic know-how." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Johnson Family Vacation (2004) |
"Vacations are supposed to make you feel better, and Johnson Family Vacation does just that." |

Jonas Brothers - The Concert Experience (2009) |
"It's too bad the film offers none of the comedic sparkle they recently showed on Saturday Night Live and David Letterman's show. It's only slightly better than the surprisingly flat and one-dimensional Hannah Montana movie." |
Chris Riemenschneider |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple (2006) |
"... riveting documentary ..." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Joshua (2007) |
"The contrived script expects us to believe that Joshua's fainting spells, his nocturnal home videos of his sleeping family and his acts of violence on crowded New York City streets fail to raise suspicion until it is too late." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Journey From The Fall (2007) |
"An emotionally intense story of capture, imprisonment, torture and escape." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008) |
"Clean, lightweight escapism with a top-notch gimmick." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Joyeux Noël (2006) |
"The story's factual weight compensates for the film's schmaltzy telling. We might grimace at some of the movie's machinations, but it's hard not to be moved by the humanity it depicts." |

Tomato 2.5/4 |
Ju-On: The Grudge (2004) |
"While the film wouldn't go on my list of horror classics -- the acting is often stagey, the effects are cheesy, and one particular groaning floorboard sound effect is drastically overused -- it is an intriguing addition to the field." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 2/4 |
Julie & Julia (2009) |
"Loved the first course, hated the second." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Jumper (2008) |
"It's positioned as the first installment of a trilogy and, if Christensen follows through on the character's promise of greater charisma and depth, I'll willingly line up for the next two." |

Just Like Heaven (2005) |
"Just Like Heaven isn't a groundbreaking movie -- where romantic comedy is concerned, there isn't much ground left to break -- but it contains some nice moments and fresh twists." |

Just My Luck (2006) |
