Jackass: The Movie (2002) |
"The name says it all. Jackass is a vulgar and cheap-looking version of Candid Camera staged for the Marquis de Sade set." |

The Jacket (2005) |
"Like The Butteryfly Effect, but not nearly as much fun, The Jacket is more often tedious than tense." |

Jade (1995) |
"A high point of the show, even if it does go on a bit too long, is one great car chase scene." |

The Jane Austen Book Club (2007) |
"Filled with pithy and funny lines and bursting with subtle but wonderful characters ... undemanding of its viewers and very entertaining, the movie goes from cute to sweet to endearing." |

Jarhead (2005) |
"A pointless picture, [it's] a boring meditation on the boredom of war." |

Jason X (2002) |
"With its kind of enjoyable, high volume techno-organ funeral music and its little bits of humor, I've got to admit it. It could have been worse." |

Jersey Girl (2004) |
"Light-weight and sporadically enjoyable romantic comedy is an edge-free film by Kevin Smith's angelic twin. ... From Smith we rightly expect better." |

Jetsons - The Movie (1990) |
"In the end the children have learned that capitalism is all about spoiling the ecosystem and exploiting workers. This sure makes them want to grow up to become entrepreneurs and build healthy businesses. Sad." |
Steve Rhodes |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
JFK (1991) |
"This is a fine movie from a technical and an acting viewpoint. The problem is that it is all balderdash." |

John Tucker Must Die (2006) |
"As a teen comedy, this one is both sweet and funny, without being raunchy. Surely there is a place in the world for innocent little films like this. Let's hope so.
