Jack Frost (1998) |
"Now we have proof: It's possible for the Jim Henson folks and Industrial Light and Magic to put their heads together and come up with the most repulsive single creature in the history of special effects!" |

The Jacket (2005) |
"The movie, taking its cue from Jack's deep weariness and depression, trudges through its paces as if it were deep and meaningful, which I am afraid it is not." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 4/4 |
Jackie Brown (1997) |
"This is the movie that proves Tarantino is the real thing, and not just a two-film wonder boy." |

Jackpot (2001) |
"There's a sense in which we're always waiting for it to kick in." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Jacob's Ladder (1990) |
"This movie was not a pleasant experience, but it was exhilarating in the sense that I was able to observe filmmakers working at the edge of their abilities and inspirations." |

"Supremely effective." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 2/4 |
Jakob the Liar (1999) |
"Jakob the Liar wants the freedom of the Benigni film but doesn't want to pay the dues." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 4/4 |
Jalsaghar (1958) |
"Newly available on video at last in a high-quality print, it is the story of a man who has been compared to King Lear because of his pride, stubbornness, and the way he loses everything that matters." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
James and the Giant Peach (1996) |
"It will, I think, entertain kids for whom stop-motion animation is the last thing they're thinking about." |

The Jane Austen Book Club (2007) |
"[Swicord] has created characters who really do seem to have read the books and talk like they have. And she has created a book club that, like all book clubs, is really about its members." |

Japanese Story (2004) |
"This is that rare sort of film that is not about what happens, but about what happens then." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Jarhead (2005) |
"It is not often that a movie catches exactly what it was like to be this person in this place at this time, but Jarhead does." |
Roger Ebert |

Jason X (2002) |
"A low-rent retread of the Alien pictures." |

Jawbreaker (1998) |
"A slick production of a lame script!" |

Jaws (1975) |
"One of the most effective thrillers ever made." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 0/4 |
Jaws 4 - The Revenge (1987) |
"The shark models have so little movement that at times they seem to be supporting themselves on boats, instead of attacking them. Up until the ludicrous final sequence of the movie, the scariest creature in the film is an eel." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001) |
"Kevin Smith's movies are either made specifically for you, or specifically not made for you. If you read this review without a smile or a nod of recognition, I would recommend Rush Hour 2, which is for everybody or nobody, you tell me." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 1/4 |
The Jazz Singer (1980) |
"The Jazz Singer has so many things wrong with it that a review threatens to become a list." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 2.5/4 |
JCVD (2008) |
"I sorta enjoyed myself. I could have done without the scene where he floats in anguished reverie, making Hamlet sound like an extrovert." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Jean de Florette (1987) |
"The point of the film is not to create suspense, but to capture the relentlessness of human greed, the feeling that the land is so important the human spirit can be sacrificed to it." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 1/4 |
Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003) |
"Jeepers Creepers 2 supplies us with a first-class creature, a fourth-rate story, and dialogue possibly created by feeding the screenplay into a pasta maker." |

Jeffrey (1995) |
"It's more a series of sketches and momentary inspirations than a story that grows interesting." |
Roger Ebert |

Jellyfish (2008) |
"These stories have as their justification that fact that they are intrinsically interesting. I think that's enough." |

Tomato 3/4 |
Jennifer's Body (2009) |
"There is within Diablo Cody the soul of an artist, and her screenplay brings to this material a certain edge, a kind of gleeful relish, that's uncompromising. This isn't your assembly-line teen horror thriller." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Jerichow (2009) |
"It’s easy to compare Jerichow with the films of The Postman Always Rings Twice, with the grimy gas station owner, the sexy wife and the rugged drifter, but people have a way of not behaving according to their superficial qualities." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 2/4 |
The Jerk (1979) |
"We get the sense at times that the cast and crew arrived at a location, found the script bankrupt of real laughs, and started looking around for funny props." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Jerry Maguire (1996) |
"There are a couple of moments in Jerry Maguire when you want to hug yourself with delight." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Jersey Girl (2004) |
"It's the kind of movie Hugh Grant might make, except for the way Smith has with his dialogue, which is truer and more direct than we expect." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Jesus Christ Superstar (1973) |
"Jewison, a director of large talent, has taken a piece of commercial shlock and turned it into a Biblical movie with dignity." |
