The Machinist (2004) |
"If grimly atmospheric studies in alienation are your cup of tea, you should find director Brad Anderson's dark brew especially tasty." |

Mad Hot Ballroom (2005) |
"The dedication the youngsters bring to their dancing is infectious, and that gives this documentary a leg up." |
Jeff Strickler |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Mad Money (2008) |
"Mad Money is a heist comedy that doesn't rip off the audience." |

Madagascar (2005) |
"A good-natured kid flick." |

Splat 1/4 |
Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008) |
"This mediocre sequel to the 2005 DreamWorks Animation hit doesn't offer much to engage minds that have moved beyond coloring books." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 2/4 |
Made of Honor (2008) |
"Does anyone ever demand a refund for a romantic comedy that looks awfully familiar? Let's hope not, or the folks behind Made of Honor will have to do some serious reimbursement." |

Mafioso (1962) |
"Director Alberto Lattuada balances the satirical and shocking aspects of the story on a stiletto's edge." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Magdalene Sisters (2003) |
"Although it's heavy-handed in its emotional button-pushing, The Magdalene Sisters still manages to produce all the reactions the filmmakers want: repulsion, indignation, anger and outrage." |
Jeff Strickler |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Magnificent Desolation: Walking on the Moon 3D (2005) |
"The movie's biggest asset is Hanks, who can't hide the excitement in his voice. The mood is contagious." |

Mail Order Bride (2004) |
"This harmless nickels-and-kopecks comedy goes by the theory that if one Mafia is funny, two must be hilarious." |

Malibu's Most Wanted (2003) |
"B-rad's rapping is so bad it's irritating. That part is intentional. The rest of the movie's irritation just comes naturally." |
Jeff Strickler |
Tomato 3/4 |
Mambo Italiano (2003) |
"The characters are blatantly stereotypical, but Galluccio is able to get away with it because he's poking fun at the people he loves." |
Jeff Strickler |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Mamma Mia! (2008) |
"The adaptation of the long-running stage hit is a crowd-pleasing gusher of escapism, not the least of which is respite from summertime teen action fare." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Man (2005) |
"The humor isn't all that funny by comedy standards -- you're more likely to smile than laugh -- and the action scenes are low-key by adventure conventions." |

Man of the Year (2006) |
"In Man of the Year, a thriller without thrills collides with a mirthless comedy." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Man on Fire (2004) |
"[Washington] plays a cliched character in a by-the-numbers plot, but manages to make both acceptable on the sheer power of his screen presence." |
Jeff Strickler |
Tomato 3/4 |
Man on the Train (2003) |
"For the most part, [Leconte] pulls back and lets the two stars do their thing. And they do it marvelously." |
Jeff Strickler |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Man On Wire (2008) |

The Man Who Copied (2005) |
"This Brazilian film starts as a quirky romantic comedy before suddenly becoming a violent crime drama. It's a radical turn, so much so that it almost goes over a cliff." |

Management (2009) |
"Random weirdness aside, Belber telegraphs this story arc from Sue's first drop-in to Podunk. Message received. No surprises here." |
Troy Melhus |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Manchurian Candidate (2004) |
"That rarest of remakes: a reworking that puts an interesting new spin on a familiar premise but stands strongly on its own." |
Jeff Strickler |
Tomato 3/4 |
Manderlay (2006) |
"Controversy comes as naturally to Danish director Lars von Trier as breathing, and he'll use any means to achieve his goal." |

Manuale d'amore (2005) |
"A quartet of interlocking stories of finding, losing and rediscovering love, it starts strong, sputters for a while, and ends cheerfully enough." |
Colin Covert |

Manufactured Landscapes (2007) |
"Canadian fine art photographer Edward Burtynsky shoots the recycling dumps, superfactories, vast quarries and shipyards, capturing visual beauty in the ecological devastation." |
Colin Covert |

The Marc Pease Experience (2009) |
"The film is an all-you-can-eat buffet of mediocrity. A spiraling vortex of boredom. A deflated Whoopee cushion." |

Margot at the Wedding (2007) |
"If you enjoy seeing people at their passive-aggressive worst, the verbal sword fights between the sisters will tickle your black heart." |

Maria Full of Grace (2004) |
"We don't endorse anything Maria does, but we have to applaud her courage. And we applaud Marston's courage for telling it like it is." |
Jeff Strickler |
Tomato 4/4 |
Marie Antoinette (2006) |
"Coppola's film is a superior achievement, a story as rich and resonant as its protagonist is hollow." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 1/4 |
Marilyn Hotchkiss' Ballroom Dancing and Charm School (2006) |
"Wildly inconsistent in tone and point of view, torn between grim and sitcom-silly acting styles, slathered with a frosting of pop-psych self-help clichés, it's the film equivalent of the jarring car crash that sets the story in motion." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Marley & Me (2008) |
"David Frankel adapts John Grogan's sentimental bestseller with no artistic pretensions beyond alternately making you feel like your heart is caving in, then injecting you with a gigantic syringe of good cheer." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Married Life (2008) |
"The story is original, the characters complex." |
