Y Tu Mama Tambien (2002) |
"If you like sex, you'll like the Mexican hit movie Y Tu Mama Tambien." |

Tomato 2.5/4 |
Yana's Friends |
"The treatment, both as satire and sentimentality, is heavy-handed." |
Liam Lacey |

Splat 1.5/4 |
A Year in the Death of Jack Richards (2006) |
"The plot's Twilight Zone-like entanglements might be more palatable if the film's execution were more adept." |
Liam Lacey |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Year My Parents Went On Vacation (2008) |
"Be patient and brace yourself for the climax; the wait is definitely worthwhile." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Year of the Dog (2007) |
"In the end, [writer-director] White settles for some unearned and unpersuasive optimism, which, in Hollywood scriptwriting, serves as shorthand for poignancy." |
Liam Lacey |

Tomato 2.5/4 |
The Year of the Yao (2005) |
"Sure, it's fun to watch big-screen close-ups of Yao battling with O'Neal, though it feels like another ESPN special." |

Splat 1/4 |
Year One (2009) |
"Black and Cera posed in cave-man outfits for an amusing poster. Then the movie was brought forth and things went downhill." |
Liam Lacey |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Yes (2005) |
"Rough-hewn as they are, Potter's verse, ranging from flowery to obscene, compels the viewer toward a fresh way of listening." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2/4 |
Yes Man (2008) |
"Yes Man puts him back in the same old quandary and, once again, Carrey lacks an identity. Alas, this time, he also lacks a script." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Yes Men (2004) |
"This sly little documentary packs a wickedly satiric punch." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 4/4 |
Yi Yi (2000) |
"The artistry is undeniable -- tough insights blended with graceful compassion, gloomy certainties flecked with rays of hope." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 3/4 |
Yoo-hoo, Mrs. Goldberg (2009) |
"Charming." |

Splat 2.5/4 |
You Don't Mess With The Zohan (2008) |
"Mess with The Zohan if you like, but be prepared for the consequences. This picture is to comedy what carpet bombing is to aerial warfare: The onslaught is so relentless that occasional direct hits on the funny bone are a statistical guarantee." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 1.5/4 |
You Got Served (2004) |
"Between the opening salvo and the equally staggering finale is a dull, dour drama that drains the movie of nearly all its exuberance." |
Jason Anderson |
Splat 2/4 |
You Kill Me (2007) |
"Given a choice between a dark film with comic elements and a comedy that purports to be edgy, the filmmakers took the easy way out." |
Liam Lacey |
Tomato 2/4 |
You Might As Well Live (2009) |
"A tightly scripted comedy on the fast track to a very twisted happy ending." |
Jennie Punter |
Splat 2.5/4 |
You've Got Mail (1998) |
"Fully-stocked, well-oiled and soulless, You've Got Mail sure feels like a franchise operation -- all that's missing is a greeter and a discount card." |
Rick Groen |
Splat 2.5/4 |
You, Me and Dupree (2006) |
"Director brothers Anthony and Joe Russo manage to keep the pace moving for the first two-thirds, steering clear of overt touchy-feeliness or extreme gross-outs. Then they suddenly lose their grip, and Wilson's good 20 minutes is up." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2/4 |
Young Adam (2004) |
"Mackenzie shoots the ensuing tryst with more fidelity than it deserves or needs." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 3/4 |
Young@Heart (2008) |
"The doc may indeed be too cute for some, but Walker knows when to step back and let life, with all its harshness and disappointments, into the picture." |
Kamal Al-Solaylee |
Tomato 4/4 |
Your Friends & Neighbors (1998) |
"It is superbly executed and, for all its pitilessness, it's an intelligent dramatization of the impact that consumerist values have had on the psyche of the North American middle class at the end of the 20th century." |
John Haslett Cuff |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Your Mommy Kills Animals (2007) |
"It lets you off dizzy and confused, whereas the best documentaries leave you feeling that you've come to a settled perspective on a subject." |
Stephen Cole |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Yours, Mine, & Ours (2005) |
"Watching Dennis Quaid falling face down into vats of goop, getting kissed by a pig and talking baby talk in Yours, Mine and Ours is one of those experiences that causes you to question your faith in Hollywood's motives." |
Liam Lacey |
Splat 2.5/4 |
Youth Without Youth (2007) |
"How's this for a ringing endorsement: Watching Youth Without Youth, Francis Ford Coppola's first film in nearly a decade, is like taking a philosophy exam." |
Rick Groen |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
YPF (2008) |
"Sorry, but intercourse is not the main course here. Instead, this is a literal sex comedy where laughs are sought, and often found, at every stage of the act, from 'foreplay' to 'afterglow'." |

Splat 1.5/4 |
Yu-Gi-Oh: The Movie (2004) |
"A fantasy kitsch tale." |
