U-Carmen (2007) |
"The main attraction is the performance of Carmen by the magnificent Pauline Malefane, who also translated the libretto into Xhosa." |

The U.S. vs. John Lennon (2006) |
"The aim may be laudable, but nothing gets hit except some awfully tired targets. And fatigue doesn't resonate." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 3/4 |
U2 3D (2008) |
"Once you get past the 'Whoa, dude, that's awesome' moments -- after the first couple of songs, the 3-D isn't quite as dazzling -- what's left is a solid U2 concert film that spans the group's sprawling, quarter-century catalogue." |
Jennifer Van Evra |
Splat 1/4 |
The Ugly Truth (2009) |
"Contrived as a crossover between a female-friendly romantic comedy and a male-targeted, anti-political correctness jab, The Ugly Truth veers between crude and cloying." |

Tomato 3/4 |
Ulee's Gold (1997) |
"One of those unexpected pleasures that combines a low budget with a high emotional impact." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Unaccompanied Minors (2006) |
"Why bother suffering through 90 minutes of bad company for a few moments of holiday cheer? Especially when you can still stay home alone and watch A Charlie Brown Christmas somewhere on TV." |

Under the Same Moon (2008) |
"If Under the Same Moon is formula melodrama, the film is well acted and its lead character perceptively drawn." |
Stephen Cole |

Under the Sand (2001) |
"... this picture demands (and rewards) close study ..." |

Under the Sea 3D (2009) |
"After 40 minutes behind 3-D glasses watching rare aquatic creatures, why bother with airline tickets and scuba gear?" |

Under the Tuscan Sun (2003) |
"While both the scenery and star Diane Lane are highly watchable, the movie is pure froth, a plate-sized helping of zabaglione." |
Liam Lacey |

Underclassman (2005) |
"It gets a failing grade even by the low standards of late-August Hollywood releases." |
Liam Lacey |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Undercover Brother (2002) |
"A live-action version that's as funny and savvy as the original, even if one leaves the theatre exhausted by its barrage of pop-culture references, and perhaps disappointed by its softness as satire." |

Underworld (2003) |
"It's hard to recall a more sexless vampire flick." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2/4 |
Undiscovered (2005) |
"This is a movie in which we're expected to buy Ashlee Simpson as a singer on the threshold of becoming a major star. That's an idea so ridiculous it could never happen in fiction, only in real life." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2/4 |
Undisputed (2002) |
"Hill looks to be going through the motions, beginning with the pale script." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Unfaithful (2002) |
"Lyne commits the dramatist's unpardonable sin -- ultimately, he proves unfaithful to his own premise." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 2/4 |
An Unfinished Life (2005) |
"By the conclusion, the movie turns into the ursine answer to Free Willy, veering dangerously close to New Age parody." |
Liam Lacey |
Tomato 3/4 |
United 93 (2006) |
"... United 93 is a riveting docudrama as compelling as it is odd." |

Unmistaken Child (2009) |
"This documentary is only partly a story of the chosen one; mainly, and more intriguingly, it's a chronicle of the choosing one, of the nervous young monk charged with the job of leading the search party." |
Rick Groen |

Unnatural & Accidental (2006) |
"Unnatural & Accidental becomes so chaotic and grotesque, it fails to elicit much sympathy for the people it purports to memorialize." |

Up (2009) |
"The outrageously inventive fable that it tells lifts it above the mundane and sends it floating off to the heights of charm as if carried by a helium balloon." |

Uptown Girls (2003) |
"When Uptown Girls isn't trying to play up its wacky high jinks ... it stoops to the kind of psychological character development films this shallow should really avoid like the plague." |

Urban Legend (1998) |
