Nacho Libre (2006) |
"Disappointment, my fellow gringos, presumes positive expectations, so perhaps it is best to report, with some sorrow but no deep surprise, that the new comedy starring Jack Black and directed by Jared Hess, is not illustrious." |

Splat 1.5/4 |
Nancy Drew (2007) |
"An awkward mixture of send-up and formula kid's comedy that's only marginally better than the Olsen twins direct-to-video detective series." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Nanny Diaries (2007) |
"There's a good movie buried inside The Nanny Diaries, and a good cast trying hard to dig it out. Too bad they don't get much help." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 3/4 |
Nanny McPhee (2006) |
"Thompson's script is clever and, despite that monstrous makeup, her performance is deliciously balanced by the standards of what is, after all, a children's fable." |
Kate Taylor |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Napoleon Dynamite (2004) |
"Has nerd chic." |

Naqoyqatsi (2002) |
"Feels like a bloated mass of data without much coherence." |
Liam Lacey |
Tomato 3/4 |
Narc (2002) |
"A cop movie that refuses to cop out in the usual way." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2/4 |
NASCAR: The Imax Experience (2004) |
"Race day comes and the experience is mildly disappointing -- better at the speed game than a conventional camera, to be sure, yet still far from the real deal, and well below the standard set by our own God-given peepers." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 3/4 |
Nathalie (2003) |
"A stylish, sharply observed erotic mystery." |
Stephen Cole |
Splat 1.5/4 |
National Lampoon's Van Wilder (2002) |
"Smug and dumb as they come, it's a series of eruptive gross-out sketches tenuously linked by a romance plot." |
Liam Lacey |
Tomato 3/4 |
National Security (2003) |
"Without losing its comic rhythm for a moment, it is also a withering spoof of black victimism and the corrupting effect of racial solidarity on the American legal system." |
Ray Conlogue |
Splat 2/4 |
National Treasure (2004) |
"National Treasure is not so much a no-brainer as a brain-stunner, so audaciously ridiculous you are initially intrigued, then soon irritated by its incoherence." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 1.5/4 |
National Treasure 2 : Book of Secrets (2007) |
"Tepid and predictable though the action largely is, Bartha provides intermittent comic relief and Mirren is her usual droll self." |
Jason McBride |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Nativity Story (2006) |
"Don't expect a Caravaggio, but if your taste turns to Hallmark, this is a good bet -- a straight-up Nativity story as safe as death and taxes." |

Neil Young - Greendale (2004) |
"Unlike anything you've ever seen (or maybe even wanted to), Young's movie is furious, fascinating and utterly fresh." |

Never Back Down (2008) |
"Mr. Miyagi would not be pleased." |
Jason McBride |

Never Been Kissed (1999) |
"Drew Barrymore has been well cast as someone who doesn't act her age." |
Liam Lacey |

Never Die Alone (2004) |

New Best Friend (2002) |
"Just consider what New Best Friend does not have, beginning with the minor omission of a screenplay." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The New Guy (2002) |
"An occasional one-liner rises to the level of near-wit... Most everything else ranges from routine to heavy-handed." |
Rick Groen |

New in Town (2009) |
"Poor Renée. Her character may find a cozy hearth, but she's definitely left way out in the cold." |

The New World (2005) |
"A Terence Malick film remains an event, but he appears awfully disoriented in The New World -- less a seasoned traveller than a perplexed tourist, content to mask his confusion by reaching for a camera and snapping relentless pretty pictures." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 1/4 |
New York Minute (2004) |
"As coy sleaze goes, the new Olsen twins' movie doesn't match Britney Spears's Crossroads, but it comes close." |

Niagara Motel (2005) |
"The actors are more or less on the same page, trying as much as possible to underplay this overheated material. But that doesn't help when the page itself is a scribbled sheet of foolscap crammed with narrative tangents and thematic jottings." |

Nicholas Nickleby (2002) |
"If not every scene bears the Masterpiece Theatre seal of authenticity, the parade of vividly drawn characters is always good fun." |

Nico and Dani (2001) |
"For a movie that has been praised for its sensitive realism, Nico and Dani takes some large liberties." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2/4 |
Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009) |
"Once these creatures do come to life for a second outing, the promise soon evaporates and the clever comedy, built largely on crisscrossing anachronisms and various sly cultural references, is not enough to sustain a romp that is all rather predictable." |
Kate Taylor |

The Night Listener (2006) |
"Williams' solemn one-note performance, which we've seen variations of before in his 'serious films,' Insomnia and Good Will Hunting, ruins what should be a ghoulishly entertaining game of cat and mouse." |
Stephen Cole |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Night Watch (2005) |
"Though Night Watch is impressive at creating atmosphere, the movie is an impenetrable narrative tangle with plot strands running in every direction." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2/4 |
Nights in Rodanthe (2008) |
"There are not enough actual scenes to keep us sufficiently engaged to care about the third-act event that changes their destiny." |

Nightwatching (2007) |
"...the dialogue's hyper-intensity is the whole point, and Greenaway frames it with a heavy reliance on set design, rather than his usual use of overlapping images." |
Guy Dixon |
Tomato 4/4 |
Nijinsky: The Diaries of Vaslav Nijinsky (2002) |
"Just the labour involved in creating the layered richness of the imagery in this chiaroscuro of madness and light is astonishing." |

Nim's Island (2008) |
