The Wackness (2008) |
"A pretentious art house flick, the movie tries way too hard to be hip. But, if you're in the mood for a depressing drug movie about teenage angst, The Wackness does fit the bill." |

Waking Life (2001) |

Walkabout (1971) |
"In the day since I've seen the film, I cannot put it out of my mind. Its images continue to be savored, and I will never forget the three travelers through the desert." |

Walking Tall (2004) |
"Although all hell breaks loose in the last twenty minutes, the movie spends most of its time in Dullsville." |

WALL-E (2008) |
"It is one of the best movies ever made!" |

Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit (2005) |
"It's all actually less funny than you'd expect, making one crave the time when Wallace and Gromit return to their real homeland, the world of animated shorts." |

Walt Disney Treasures: Davy Crockett - The Complete Televised Series (1954) |
"If your kids haven't enjoyed Davy before, there's no time like the present to start. This is especially true if you have younger children." |

Want (2002) |
"It's Dilbert meets Startup.Com combined with the support groups from Fight Club." |

Wanted (2008) |
"It's a disgusting film that obviously should have been rated NC-17 for its obnoxious level of gross and excessive violence. ... But, even if the movie were properly rated, it would still be absolutely awful." |

War of the Worlds (2005) |

The Watcher (2000) |
"Watching actors who look like they might fall asleep at any moment can be rather sleep-inducing for an audience. Of course, the movie is frequently so ridiculous that your own laughter may keep you awake." |

The Waterboy (1998) |

We Are Marshall (2006) |
"In a decidedly schmaltzy film, McConaughey's performance of a gutsy idiot is arguably off-the-scale bad, but, as he chews up the scenery, his off-putting work begins to become somewhat charming." |

The Weather Underground (2003) |
"A chilling, cautionary tale that needs to be seen by a wide audience. My only fear is that many will take away the wrong message from the film, thinking how daring these young revolutionaries were as they tried to blow up our government." |

A Wedding for Bella (2001) |
"Bella is the picture of health with boundless energy until a few days before she dies. This is absolutely and completely ridiculous and an insult to every family whose mother has suffered through the horrible pains of a death by cancer." |

The Wedding Singer (1998) |
"Director Frank Coraci exerts little control over his picture, which drifts aimlessly from bad to good and then back again." |
