Tomato 2.5/4 |
D.E.B.S. (2005) |
"The most endearing aspect of D.E.B.S., a sweet-spirited spoof, is that the lesbian romance is played for real, with no nudge-nudge wink-wink irony." |
Jennie Punter |

Splat 1.5/4 |
The Da Vinci Code (2006) |
"Like a two-bit philosopher working the wrong side of the stone, Howard has managed to turn gold into lead." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 0/4 |
Daddy Day Camp (2007) |
"About as much fun as being given a wedgie and hung from the camp flagpole." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2/4 |
Daddy Day Care (2003) |
"Nothing that happens in the story will surprise anyone who's been watching movies for longer than the last two weeks." |
Jason Anderson |
Splat 2/4 |
Daddy's Little Girls (2007) |
"The lead actors make Perry's didacticism easier to take." |
Jason Anderson |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Damned United (2009) |
"Add an extra star rating for footie fans." |
Guy Dixon |
Splat 2/4 |
The Damned United (2009) |
"Like a skill player who just can't score, The Damned United is all dazzle and no finish and, ultimately, damned frustrating." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Dan in Real Life (2007) |
"In the end, the commercial necessity of wrapping up a family comedy in less than 100 minutes seems to have trumped anything real about Dan's life." |
Liam Lacey |
Tomato 2/4 |
Dance Flick (2009) |
"The storylines function as thin threads to hold together set pieces, which mainly work thanks to tight writing and fast pacing (dud scenes, and there are several, breeze past)." |
Jennie Punter |
Splat 2/4 |
Dance With Me (1998) |
"Although the movie bubbles occasionally, it never boils." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Dancer in the Dark (1999) |
"At least Dancer in the Dark is bad in a complicated way." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Dancer Upstairs (2003) |
"After an initially engrossing start, it stumbles through a series of implausible coincidences and murky events, barely held together by the magnetic performance of Javier Bardem." |
Liam Lacey |

Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys (2002) |
"No, The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys does not exist in a state of perfect grace. However, its sins are forgivably venial, because its virtues are palpably human." |
Rick Groen |

Tomato 2.5/4 |
Daredevil (2003) |
"Not woeful, not wonderful, merely watchable." |
|
Splat 2/4 |
Darfur Now (2007) |
"Darfur Now is effective pamphleteering, but only an occasionally compelling documentary film." |
Stephen Cole |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Darjeeling Limited (2007) |
"Dysfunctional families are as common on screen as off, but director Wes Anderson has a flair for making his clans seem bizarrely unique and yet recognizable too." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Dark Blue (2003) |
"Its intelligence is undermined by a hyperbolic, overwrought noir style that wavers awkwardly between NYPD Blue jitters and grand opera." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Dark Blue World (2001) |
"Dark Blue World almost feels like three scripts rolled into one." |
|
Splat 2.5/4 |
Dark City (1998) |
"An almost really good movie lies somewhere in the stylish junkyard of Alex Proyas's Dark City." |
Liam Lacey |

Dark Hours (2005) |
"The Dark Hours is a remarkably assured homage to psychological horror films from the sixties and seventies." |
Stephen Cole |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Dark Knight (2008) |
"Mixing bravura filmmaking with flat clichés in about equal amounts, The Dark Knight is all about dualism. Appropriately, the movie's half-inspired, half-frustrating." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Dark Water (2005) |
"[Salles] has managed to create a movie that's pretty bleak for a Hollywood -- especially Disney -- thriller." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 1/4 |
Darkness Falls (2003) |
"Pretty much the whole of this unholy horror flick is shot under cover of night, the small-town-in-New-England kind where the woods are deep and the barometer always points to rain." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 3/4 |
Darwin's Nightmare (2006) |
"A haunting, beautifully made reality check." |
Jennie Punter |
Tomato 3/4 |
Dave Chappelle's Block Party (2006) |
"Gangly, disarming and slyly witty, Chappelle is at ease with people of all ages and races, and has a knack for finding humour without forcing it." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2/4 |
Dawn of the Dead (2004) |
"You know Snyder isn't the guy for the job about five minutes into the proceedings." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Day After Tomorrow (2004) |
"I'm not saying that a date with this picture is all pleasure; but it's not all guilt either. My guess is that, waking up the morning after The Day After Tomorrow, you won't have much trouble forgiving yourself." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Day God Walked Away (2009) |
"An intensely personal, psychological tale, and one which highlights survival as much as massacre." |
James Bradshaw |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Day Watch (2007) |
"It's exhausting just trying to imagine what 46-year-old director Timur Bekmambetov would do with Hollywood money. Yet, as puffed up as it is, Day Watch is redeemed by its sardonic, Slavic take on the end of the world." |

Splat 2.5/4 |
Days of Darkness (2007) |
"The final chapter of the trilogy that began with The Decline of the American Empire and continued with The Barbarian Invasions, Days of Darkness has neither that chatty brilliance of the former nor the elegiac emotion of the latter." |
Jennie Punter |
Tomato 3/4 |
Days of Glory (2006) |
"In recounting this conflicted tale, director Rachid Bouchareb displays some valour of his own, resisting what must have been a strong temptation to deal in aggrieved agitprop, and instead confining his attentions to a small group of indigenous soldiers." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 1.5/4 |
De-Lovely (2004) |
"Better than a root canal, marginally superior to Gigli, but bad enough." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 0/4 |
Dead Man on Campus (1998) |
"If you have a roommate you really want to see suffer, here's a suggestion: Buy him or her a ticket to Dead Man on Campus." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat .5/4 |
Dead Silence (2007) |
"The movie's uninteresting characters, boneheaded dialogue and flagrantly nonsensical narrative detract considerably from the virtues of the visual design." |
Jason Anderson |
Splat 2/4 |
Dead Snow (2009) |
"Every new zombie movie, however, has to be a little bit different than the one that came before it. Otherwise, it wouldn't be horrifying or much fun." |
Stephen Cole |
Tomato 3/4 |
deadend.com (2002) |
"It puts the viewer inside the world of three children who are banal for a compelling reason: They have never learned, or been taught, how to create meaning in their lives." |
Ray Conlogue |
Tomato 3/4 |
Dear Frankie (2005) |
"Gives us a spoonful of medicine to make the sugar go down. Depending on your tolerance, it just may go down a treat." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 2/4 |
Dear Wendy (2005) |
"We get it, Lars. Actually, we got it some time ago. Guns are bad things. They kill people and Americans are obsessed with them. Can we move on now?" |
Michael Posner |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Death at a Funeral (2007) |
"Weighing in at a brisk 90 minutes, the picture does have the advantage of brevity, and on screen no less than off, there's much to be said for a quick send-off." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 3/4 |
Death of a President (2006) |
"Death of a President is a masterly piece of documentary chicanery that kills George W. Bush without once pandering to his legions of ill-wishers." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Death Race (2008) |
"Yes, Death Race is as brutal as a punch in the face. If you have a hankering for B-movie grime and gore, it can also be a lot of fun." |
Stephen Cole |
Splat 2/4 |
Death Sentence (2007) |
"Awesomely bad." |
