Mad Detective (2008) |
"Fleeting confusion and bizarre literalization aside, Mad Detective is an effective mystery story, with an oddball hero -- like TV's Monk, but far crazier -- and some moments of visceral violence that raise the stakes." |
Noel Murray |
Tomato |
Mad Hot Ballroom (2005) |
"Mad Hot Ballroom is really about children being so disarmingly adorable that an overlong, somewhat lackluster documentary about them can seem like an inspiring triumph." |

Mad Money (2008) |
"The scheme works for a while. Sadly, the movie never does. As a heist film, it relies on the trio of felonious females besting a system that seems laughably easy to outwit." |
Keith Phipps |
Tomato |
Madagascar (2005) |
"The tenor can be shrill, but there's no time to get bored. And on top of that, most of the gags actually work." |
Tasha Robinson |

Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa (2008) |
"The first Madagascar was surprisingly enjoyable, thanks to high energy and playfully dark material, but the returning writing-directing crew doesn't seem nearly as invested this time around." |

Made of Honor (2008) |
"It's touching work that makes Dempsey's plastic sincerity look as thin as the film's posters." |

Madea's Family Reunion (2006) |
"Though Perry's films are hard to defend on aesthetic grounds -- the crazy shifts in tone from operatic melodrama to broad comedy could cause seizures -- it's equally hard to begrudge the underserved audiences who embrace them so passionately." |

The Maid (2009) |
"Silva and Saavedra get across the ennui and irony of a woman who’s been working diligently for two decades, only to find that her closest human relationships are with people who hold her job security in their hands." |

Mamma Mia! (2008) |
"Constructing a play -- and now a clumsily staged film -- around ABBA songs is the definition of a frivolous enterprise, and little has been done to temper the ecstatic mood with other shadings of human emotion." |
Scott Tobias |

Mammoth (2009) |

Man of the Year (2006) |
"[Man of the Year] ends up feeling as phony the process it so desperately wants to skewer." |
Keith Phipps |
Tomato B- |
Man On Wire (2008) |
"It's a story worth telling, yes -- but after 90 minutes, it's hard not to wonder if the storyteller can talk about anything else." |
Noel Murray |

Man Push Cart (2006) |

Management (2009) |
"A film that flaunts its contempt for plausibility and psychological realism, but damned if Zahn doesn’t almost sell the scene and the movie with his naïve, wide-eyed slacker charm." |
Nathan Rabin |
Splat B- |
Manderlay (2006) |
"Manderlay loses in power what it lacks in novelty, even though it's more relevant than anything the year is likely to bring." |

Manufactured Landscapes (2007) |

The Marc Pease Experience (2009) |

Margot at the Wedding (2007) |
"Margot At The Wedding counts as a bracing, even disturbing experience. Baumbach doesn't seem to care whether people like his characters; he merely wants them to be seen for who they are, warts and all." |
Scott Tobias |

Marie Antoinette (2006) |
"It's history written with truffles." |
Keith Phipps |
Tomato B- |
Marilyn Hotchkiss' Ballroom Dancing and Charm School (2006) |
"As absorbingly weird and dark and sad as the film becomes, it still labors against jumpy construction, an irritating variety of visual styles and film stocks, and a crowded story." |
Tasha Robinson |
Tomato B- |
The Marine (2006) |
"The Marine subscribes to the notion that there's no such thing as a gratuitous explosion." |
Nathan Rabin |
Tomato B- |
The Marine (2006) |
"The Marine often feels like an oddball black comedy about a dysfunctional band of sociopaths, just masquerading as an action movie about one tough ex-Marine." |
