Nacho Libre (2006) |
"It takes some doing to make a Jack Black comedy that doesn't work. But Nacho Libre does it." |

Nadja (1994) |
"It's the kind of movie that deals with unspeakable subjects while keeping a certain ironic distance, and using dialogue that seems funny, although the characters never seem in on the joke." |

The Naked Gun 2 1/2: The Smell of Fear (1991) |
"Nielsen's secret is that he does almost nothing, and certainly nothing he seems to think is funny." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult (1994) |
"It occurred to me, watching the film, that what Leslie Nielsen and Priscilla Presley do here is not easy, and is done well." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988) |
"The film is as transparent as a third-grader with a water gun, and yet I would rather review a new film by Ingmar Bergman, for there, at least, would be themes to discuss and visual strategies to analyze." |

The Namesake (2007) |
"What holds it together are the subtle loving performances by Tabu and Khan, both Bollywoood stars. They never overplay, never spell out what can be said in a glance or a shrug, communicate great passion very quietly." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
The Namesake (2007) |
"Though the film seems hurried in the last half hour -- most likely to get as much of the book covered as possible -- it still maintains a loveliness bridged by these two generations of Gangulis, whose disparate life experiences cannot bond them." |
Teresa Budasi |
Splat 2/4 |
Nancy Drew (2007) |
"Overall, it feels lame. A disappointing revival of a classic character." |
Bill Zwecker |
Splat 2.5/4 |
The Nanny Diaries (2007) |
"The movie itself is sort of bland and obvious and comfortable." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Nanny McPhee (2006) |
"Will kids like the movie? I suspect they will. Kids like to see other kids learning the rules even if they don't much want to learn them themselves." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 4/4 |
Nanook of the North (1922) |
"Nanook is one of the most vital and unforgettable human beings ever recorded on film." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Napoleon Dynamite (2004) |
"There is a kind of studied stupidity that sometimes passes as humor, and Jared Hess' Napoleon Dynamite pushes it as far as it can go." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Naqoyqatsi (2002) |
"I have problems with Naqoyqatsi as a film, but as a music video it's rather remarkable." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Narc (2002) |
"The movie's writer and director, Joe Carnahan, brings a rough, aggressive energy to the picture." |

National Lampoon's Animal House (1978) |
"The movie is vulgar, raunchy, ribald, and occasionally scatological. It is also the funniest comedy since Mel Brooks made The Producers." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 2/4 |
National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (1989) |
"Sequence after sequence seems to contain all the necessary material, to be well on the way toward a payoff, and then it somehow doesn't work." |

National Lampoon's Van Wilder (2002) |
"Laughter for me was such a physical impossibility during National Lampoon's Van Wilder that had I not been pledged to sit through the film, I would have lifted myself up by my bootstraps and fled." |
Roger Ebert |

National Treasure (2004) |
"National Treasure is so silly that the Monty Python version could use the same screenplay, line for line." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 2/4 |
National Treasure 2 : Book of Secrets (2007) |
"This is a Mouth Agape Movie, during which your mouth hangs open in astonishment at one preposterous event after another." |

The Natural (1984) |
"The message is: Baseball is purely and simply a matter of divine intervention. At about the 130-minute mark, I got the idea that God's only begotten son was playing right field for the New York team." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 4/4 |
Natural Born Killers (1994) |

Nelly and Monsieur Arnaud (1995) |
"It is a matter of great erotic fascination when two people are intrigued by the notion of becoming lovers, but are held back by the fear of rejection _and_ the fear of involvement." |

"When Chayefsky created Howard Beale, could he have imagined Jerry Springer, Howard Stern and the World Wrestling Federation?" |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 2/4 |
Never Again (2002) |
"Here's a case of two actors who do everything humanly possible to create characters who are sweet and believable, and are defeated by a screenplay that forces them into bizarre, implausible behavior." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Never Been Kissed (1999) |
"The movie's screenplay is contrived and not blindingly original, but Barrymore illuminates it with sunniness, and creates a lovable character." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Never Die Alone (2004) |
"Never Die Alone is [Dickerson's] best work to date, with the complexity of serious fiction and the nerve to start dark and stay dark, to follow the logic of its story right down to its inevitable end." |
