B-Happy (2003) |
"In a sad, sympathetic and haunting performance, Manuela Martelli plays Katty as a 15-year-old enigma. It is an unforgettable piece of acting in an otherwise mediocre movie." |

Babyfever (1994) |
"The movie within the movie is great. But the main part of film is just too banal and poorly acted." |

The Bachelor (1999) |
"Definitely has its moments but overall just fizzles." |

Back to the Future (1985) |
"Fox's portrayal of a character with whom all ages can empathize is central to the film's timeless and magical allure." |

Backbeat (1994) |
"If anybody ever makes a good film about the early days of the Beatles, I would love to see it. My recommendation is to pass this one by and look for one of the many Beatles documentaries if you want to know more." |

Bad Boys II (2003) |
"Like getting stuck on an amusement park ride when the operator goes on a very long lunch break and forgets about you." |

Bad Company (2002) |
"So are you ready to laugh at a movie about nuclear weapons in the hands of terrorists in the United States? Disney apparently thought you would be, so they made not one but two films about the subject." |

Bad Education (2004) |

"Even if the trailers sizzle, the film fizzles." |

Bad Santa (2003) |
"A nicely caustic complement to the typically saccharine holiday fare. Think of it as the sour part of a delicious sweet-and-sour sauce for the holidays." |

Bad Seed (2001) |
"The impressive score by Kurt Kuenne (Scrapbook) does a terrific job of setting the mood." |

Baghead (2008) |
"A sweet little movie, it doesn't have a pretentious bone in its body. The four lead actors are uniformly likable, so the thinness of the production never detracts from our enjoyment." |
Steve Rhodes |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Baise Moi (2001) |
"Could be a strikingly effective public service announcement against the dangers of casual sex if it weren't for the fact that Manu and Nadine like to murder strangers, male and female, indiscriminately even if no sex whatsoever is involved." |

Bait (2000) |
"A completely derivative film, it steals its clichés from other movies but finds no ways to improve upon them." |

Band of Outsiders (1964) |
"... a remarkably inconsequential story about three young adults." |

The Band's Visit (2007) |

Bandits (2001) |
"Bruce Willis and Billy Bob Thornton play a couple of "ha ha" funny bank. ... Thornton, channeling Woody Allen at his worst, plays the story's central character." |
