Baadasssss! (2004) |
"Not just forgiving toward the elder Van Peebles, it's filled with a spirit of comic amazement about what he accomplished." |

Babel (2006) |

Splat 2/4 |
Baby Formula (2009) |
"Director Alison Reid's film is too content to play the kooky in-laws for easy sitcom chuckles. Nor does Reid really make much out of the film's mockumentary format, dropping the premise in the film's final reel." |
Stephen Cole |
Splat 1/4 |
Baby Geniuses (1999) |
"The movie is about as endearing as unanesthetized gum surgery." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2/4 |
Baby Mama (2008) |
"This new comedy is what you could call a surrogate comedy with familiar Saturday Night Live jokes implanted in a generic Baby Boom script." |

Splat 1.5/4 |
Babylon A.D. (2008) |
"'I'm very unhappy with the film,' the director recently told an online magazine. Join the club." |
Jason Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Babysitters (2008) |
"Despite the racy content and the alarmist 18A classification, The Babysitters is a remarkably restrained and decent film. It's polished, smoothly edited and shot with simple elegance." |

Bad Boys II (2003) |
"In some eyes, this is a movie; in others, it's a weapon of mass destruction." |

Splat 2/4 |
Bad Company (2002) |
"Though it has some pop and plenty of corn, Bad Company is one of those wise-cracking, buddy-pic, ticking-nuke-bomb kind of summer action comedies that makes you feel hungry for less." |
Liam Lacey |
Tomato 3/4 |
Bad Education (2004) |
"His films are set-designed to the teeth, fastidiously framed and filled with beautiful bodies across the gender spectrum." |

Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (2009) |
"Add director Werner Herzog to the mix, a guy who knows a thing or a hundred about obsessive protagonists, and we're in for quite the ride -- wild and weird and blackly comic." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Bad News Bears (2005) |
"Kids will be kids, and they are to be given leeway. But the film's adults, who end up only slightly redeemed at film's end, are not winners." |
Brad Wheeler |
Splat 2/4 |
Bad Santa (2003) |
"What's meant to be a live-action South Park just winds up in a scatological dead end." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 3/4 |
Baghead (2008) |
"Although the final act telegraphs the endgame a little too obviously, Baghead is nevertheless a late summer treat." |
Jennie Punter |
Splat 2/4 |
Bailey's Billions (2005) |
"When it comes to dog movies, Air Bud's basketball-court antics are more satisfying entertainment than Bailey's moving lips." |

The Ballad of Jack and Rose (2005) |
"We leave this movie hoping to see Miller and Lewis together again soon." |
Stephen Cole |
Tomato 3/4 |
Ballast (2008) |
"This is a cinematic tone poem, where the dominant mood is a Faulknerian mix of sorrow and endurance..." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002) |
"If Liu even dreamed of whupping Michelle Yeoh, martial-arts star of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, she should wake up and apologize." |
Stephen Cole |
Tomato 3/4 |
Balls of Fury (2007) |
"It may look episodic and disgracefully low-budget in places, but there's also a theatrical quality in the way scenes are blocked, and punch lines delivered." |
Kamal Al-Solaylee |
Tomato 3/4 |
Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress (2005) |
"It's a bittersweet and lyrical mix of elements." |
Liam Lacey |
Tomato 3/4 |
Bamako (2006) |
"By all accounts the year's best African film." |
|
Splat 2.5/4 |
Bamboozled (2000) |
"At his best, Spike Lee is too brave to be subtle." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Band's Visit (2007) |
"What a lovely first feature this is from Israeli director Eran Kolirin, brief at a mere 80-plus minutes but never in a rush, never loud, always willing to wait for the emotion to bubble up quietly from the situation." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Bandits (2001) |
"Connects often enough for serviceable value-for-dollar entertainment." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2/4 |
Bandslam (2009) |
"It feels like a missed opportunity, but perhaps is a blessing since Bandslam's dialogue is much more pat than Hughes's quotable writing." |
Jennie Punter |

The Banger Sisters (2002) |
"Dolman confines himself to shtick and sentimentality -- the one bald and the other sloppy." |
Rick Groen |

Bangkok Dangerous (2008) |
"This could have been good." |
Stephen Cole |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Bank Job (2008) |
"Thanks to the twin pens of screenwriters Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais, what a jam-packed and misanthropic fiction this is." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 3/4 |
Baran (2002) |
"Though the pathos of this fable-like love story feels overcalculated, Majidi succeeds in playing the classical Dickensian balance, with the sentimental hook justified by the social sweep of the narrative." |
Liam Lacey |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Barbarian Invasions (2003) |
"A lament for lost ideals, a fantasy of the good death, a rant against the evils of the modern besieged age -- Quebec director Denys Arcand's latest film can be seen as all these things at once." |
Liam Lacey |
Tomato 3/4 |
Barbershop (2002) |
"The characters are engaging and the story has a bustling richness." |
Ray Conlogue |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Barbershop 2: Back in Business (2004) |
"[Eddie's] irrepressible spirit remains the key to the movie." |
Liam Lacey |

Barcelona (1994) |
"Slyly hilarious, esthetically sound and spiritually restorative." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Barney - Barney's Great Adventure: The Movie (1998) |
"To those of us on the greying side of five years old, Barney looks like an eggplant and has a rigor-mortis smile, no shoulders, a huge rear end and the sort of nervous giggle that makes you think he has something to hide." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Barnyard: The Original Party Animals (2006) |
"Barnyard moves with a frenetic energy, especially in the numerous barn dance and chase scenes, that will probably keep family audiences moderately entertained. But it doesn't stand up to this summer's relative bonanza of animated family films. Moo." |
Jennie Punter |
Splat 2/4 |
The Baroness and the Pig (2004) |
"The falseness at the film's core comes from the uncritical assumption that the present is wiser than the past." |
Liam Lacey |
Tomato 3/4 |
Bart Got a Room (2009) |
"Here's something you don't see every day: a high-school comedy for old poops." |
Stephen Cole |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Baseketball (1998) |
"The kind of flick that serves itself up as the object of its own satire." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 2/4 |
Basic (2003) |
"This is one of those plot-heavy flicks that topples under its own engorged bulk, leaving logic to suffocate and common sense to go begging." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Basic Instinct 2 (2006) |
"The original movie lacked sense, but it did possess that sizzle. This one has neither." |
