"Oliver Stone's W., a biography of President Bush, is fascinating. No other word for it." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
The Wackness (2008) |
"What saves this movie, which won this year's audience award at Sundance, from being boring are performances by two actors who see a chance to go over the top and aren't worried about the fall on the other side." |
Roger Ebert |

Wah-Wah (2006) |
"I admired the movie and was happy to see it but can think of two other films about whites in Africa that do a better job of seeing their roles." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 2/4 |
Waiting for Dublin (2009) |
"The actors are pleasant, the locations (County Galway) are beautiful, but the movie is a wheeze." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Waiting for Guffman (1997) |
"Attention is paid not simply to funny characters and punch lines, but to small nudges at human nature." |

Tomato 3/4 |
Waiting to Exhale (1995) |
"An escapist fantasy that women in the audience can enjoy by musing, 'I wish I had her problems' - and her car, house, wardrobe, figure and men, even wrong men." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Waiting... (2005) |
"The characters in Waiting... seem like types, not people. What they do and say isn't funny because someone real doesn't seem to be doing or saying it." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 4/4 |
Waitress (2007) |
"We can only take comfort in the little slice of heaven she left behind." |
Teresa Budasi |

Waking Ned Devine (1998) |
"Another one of those delightful village comedies that seem to spin out of the British isles annually." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Waking Up in Reno (2002) |
"Nothing in Waking Up in Reno ever inspired me to think of its inhabitants as anything more than markers in a screenplay." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007) |
"Instead of sending everything over the top at high energy, like Top Secret or Airplane!, they allow Reilly to more or less actually play the character, so that, against all expectations, some scenes actually approach real sentiment." |

Walk the Line (2005) |
"Johnny Cash sang like he meant business...Walk the Line, with its dead-on performances by Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon, helps you understand that quality." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
A Walk to Remember (2002) |
"A love story so sweet, sincere and positive that it sneaks past the defenses built up in this age of irony." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 4/4 |
Walkabout (1971) |
"Is it a parable about noble savages and the crushed spirits of city dwellers? That's what the film's surface seems to suggest, but I think it's also about something deeper and more elusive: The mystery of communication." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 0/4 |
Walker (1987) |
"Some bad movies are in no hurry to announce themselves, but Walker declares its badness right from the opening titles." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |

Walking to Werner (2007) |
"The real interest in the film is not the journey or even Linas Phillips, but the people he meets on the way." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Wall Street (1987) |
"Stone's most impressive achievement in this film is to allow all the financial wheeling and dealing to seem complicated and convincing, and yet always have it make sense." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
WALL-E (2008) |
"Pixar’s WALL•E succeeds at being three things at once: an enthralling animated film, a visual wonderment and a decent science-fiction story." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Wallace & Gromit Gift Set (1990) |
"[Wallace & Gromit], like Bugs and Elmer or Mickey and Minnie live in an enduring, sometimes baffling, comic relationship." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005) |
"Wallace and Gromit are arguably the two most delightful characters in the history of animation." |
Roger Ebert |

Walt and El Grupo (2009) |
"At a time when Hollywood doesn't remember last year, is obsessed with the bottom line and is run by men who often have no sense of history, Walt & El Grupo evokes a better time." |
Roger Ebert |

War and Peace (1968) |
"Considering its cost and the vast effort that went into its making, such a film can be made only once in our time. The wonder, indeed, is that it was made at all." |
Roger Ebert |

The War Game (1965) |
"One of the most skillful documentary films ever made." |
Roger Ebert |
Tomato 3/4 |
The War of the Roses (1989) |
"It's to the credit of DeVito and his co-stars they they were willing to go that far, but maybe it shows more courage than wisdom." |
Roger Ebert |
Splat 2/4 |
War of the Worlds (2005) |
"War of the Worlds is a big, clunky movie containing some sensational sights but lacking the zest and joyous energy we expect from Steven Spielberg." |

The War Tapes (2006) |
"Moriarty, Pink and Bazzi sent back tape loaded with visual and audio detail, but the most moving moments of The War Tapes are their attempts to make sense of Operation Iraqi Freedom II." |

Wasabi (2002) |
"Reno does what he can in a thankless situation, the film ricochets from humor to violence and back again, and Ryoko Hirosue makes us wonder if she is always like that." |
Roger Ebert |
