The Year My Parents Went On Vacation (2008) |

Andrea Gronvall |
Tomato |
The Year My Voice Broke (1987) |
"Although most of this is rather familiar stuff...the treatment is sufficiently sincere and nuanced to give it a touch of poignancy." |
Jonathan Rosenbaum |
Tomato |
Year of the Dog (2007) |

The Year of the Yao (2005) |
"James D. Stern and Adam Del Deo's taut, engrossing 2004 documentary on Chinese basketball player Yao Ming's first year in the NBA offers insight into the game and its stars." |

Yella (2007) |
"Strikes a perfect balance between corporate intrigue and metaphysical mystery; his 2007 drama is filled with suspense but ends in delicious ambiguity." |

Yellow Submarine (1968) |
"The animation is imaginatively conceived, but stiffly executed." |

Tomato |
Yellow Submarine (1968) |
"This 1968 Beatles musical gets somewhat plot heavy near the end, but it's a marvel of innocence and free association, blending several animation techniques in a loose narrative full of gentle bad puns and flowing visual segues." |

Yes Nurse! No Nurse! (2004) |
"The songs are shrill and cloying (if mercifully forgettable), the choreography is embarrassing, and the comedy sets a new global standard for puerility -- and not in a fun way." |

You Can't Take It With You (1938) |

Jonathan Rosenbaum |
Tomato |
You Don't Mess With The Zohan (2008) |
"Though a bunch of the jokes are milked too thin, there are some absurdly goofy sight gags, and a lineup of fun, silly cameos by guests from Chris Rock to Mariah Carey." |
Andrea Gronvall |
Tomato |
You Kill Me (2007) |

You'll Get Over It (2002) |

Joshua Katzman |

You, Me and Dupree (2006) |
"Working with a shapeless script, directors Anthony and Joe Russo (Welcome to Collinwood) can't figure out what they're making." |
Jonathan Rosenbaum |
Tomato |
You, the Living (2009) |
"“Keaton-esque” hardly begins to describe this brutally deadpan comedy by Swedish director Roy Andersson (Songs From the Second Floor), who seems to have translated the entire range of human misery into a loosely connected series of slapstick gags." |

Young Guns (1988) |
"Christopher Cain directed this western from a script by John Fusco, and on the whole seems much more comfortable with the scroungy and scatological dialogue than he does with the action sequences." |
