Race to Witch Mountain (2009) |
"Race to Witch Mountain is a satisfying snack of a family adventure. It doesn't condescend to youngsters or shortchange adults." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Rachel Getting Married (2008) |
"It's Hathaway's extraordinary performance that is the film's brightest accomplishment." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Radio (2003) |
"Earnest to a fault, Radio tries so hard to be a feel-good movie, you might wind up feeling bad that you don't like it more." |

Raising Helen (2004) |
"The characters are clichéd, and their predicaments are familiar." |
Jeff Strickler |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Raising Victor Vargas (2003) |
"The narrative is thin, but the little-known cast (who helped writer-director Peter Sollett develop the characters) bring an element of realism to roles that defy stereotypes and pigeonholing." |

The Rape Of Europa (2007) |
"The Rape of Europa, an engrossing film based on Lynn Nicholas' 1995 book of the same name, offers a fascinating new perspective on an era that sometimes seems as if it has no more secrets." |

Ratatouille (2007) |
"It's not just the computer animation that is vibrantly three-dimensional. It's also the well-rounded characters... I defy you to name another animated film so overflowing with superfluous beauty." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ray (2004) |
"Despite a plodding, mechanical approach to dramatizing his life, Ray occasionally hits peaks of energy and delight worthy of his finest songs." |

The Real Dirt on Farmer John (2007) |
"Regardless of what you think the movie is about, it has a fascinating subject: John Peterson, farmer, performance artist, author and, at times, a flamboyant thorn in his neighbors' side." |
Jeff Strickler |
Splat 2/4 |
The Reaping (2007) |
"While The Reaping looks handsome -- you've never seen a prettier locust attack, believe me -- it's dumb enough to make your brain implode." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Rebound (2005) |
"Not a single plot turn will come as a surprise. But the film does an admirable job of imparting a positive message without being preachy." |

The Reckoning (2004) |

Red Betsy (2003) |
"Provides a bountiful harvest of emotions." |
Jeff Strickler |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Red Cliff (2009) |
"The compelling emotion that marks the best Woo movies is AWOL. The pacing is choppy, with most of the human moments lopped off. Is the Han emperor the good guy? Or should we cheer the rebellious opposition warlords? And what the heck is a viceroy?" |

Red Eye (2005) |
"Red Eye stretches believability to the breaking point more than once, but the story moves with such headlong speed that there's scarcely time to object." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Red Lights (2004) |
"Thriller/mystery buffs might find the narrative slow; the thriller elements aren't introduced until the movie is nearly half over, and the mystery starts even later. But a dandy payoff will reward those who are patient." |
Jeff Strickler |
Tomato 4/4 |
Red Road (2007) |
"A hypnotically absorbing suspense story in the Patricia Highsmith mold, Red Road draws us in with doom-laden images of high-tech voyeurism before pummeling us with shock twists." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Redbelt (2008) |
"Redbelt ranks as one of Mamet's lesser efforts as writer and director." |
Colin Covert |

Redline (2007) |
"While the production was clearly expensive, and there is a splash of dazzle in the glossy visuals, the project stands as a monument to waste and extravagance." |

Religulous (2008) |
"Maher's antireligion documentary, Religulous, has numerous blasts of raucous humor amid passages that feel like a screed." |
Colin Covert |

Renaissance (2006) |
"The sophistication of Renaissance is all in its ultracool appearance, with little of interest beneath its glittering surface." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Rendition (2007) |
"At every turn the screenplay turns geopolitics into Lifetime Channel pablum." |

Rent (2005) |
"Whatever qualities powered Rent to its numerous theater awards and long run onstage are missing from this charmless floperetta." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 2/4 |
Repo! The Genetic Opera (2008) |
"This goth rock opera features buckets of gore, a campy score and melodrama galore in a calculated effort to become a 21st-century Rocky Horror Picture Show. Its creative juices, however, are strictly anemic." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Reprise (2008) |
"It's an invigorating brew of dynamic visuals, quicksilver emotions, playful storytelling and chic, good-looking actors." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Rescue Dawn (2007) |
"Herzog shows all of this with a fresh, observant eye. While sadism is a staple of most POW movies, Herzog focuses on the punishing tedium and deprivation of confinement. And filming on location in Thailand gives the film a harshly sensual look." |
Colin Covert |
Splat 1/4 |
Reservation Road (2007) |
"Reservation Road is a car wreck of a movie about an auto accident. It's designed as a psychological suspense film, but every character development and plot twist can be seen far in advance. It's a mystery with no guessing." |

Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) |
"If creative bankruptcy was legally actionable, this film would be in Chapter 11." |
Colin Covert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Respiro (2003) |
"The film was shot on the Sicilian island of Lampedusa, a picture-postcard setting of magnificent cliffs and crystal-clear water. The beautiful setting is a stark contrast to Grazia's descent into darkness." |
Jeff Strickler |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Resurrecting the Champ (2007) |
"This is at heart a story about fathers and sons and self-discovery, and on that score it's a knockout." |

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (2003) |
"A rough-edged work of journalism that is as gripping as a thriller." |

Revolutionary Road (2008) |
"Revolutionary Road is easily the best-acted film of 2008, and one of the most corrosive." |

Rhythm Is It! (2004) |
"If you can make it through this documentary without having your toes tap even once, then you are defying its very premise." |
