Nacho Libre (2006) |
"Hess seems intent on proving that lowbrow American slapstick comedies can be as slow and deliberate as the films of Robert Bresson." |

The Namesake (2007) |
"Deserves credit for its graceful attempt to tell an all-American story with warm, unromanticized characters trying to discover who they are in a land too eager to impose its own definition on them." |
Keith Phipps |
Tomato B- |
Nancy Drew (2007) |
"Once the rote mystery elements take over, the film devolves into a second-rate whodunit for kids, but even then, Roberts' irrepressible cheeriness and curiosity in the face of danger proves too adorable to resist." |

The Nanny Diaries (2007) |
"With [Linney], the film receives some badly needed dimension to its thin satire, not to mention the lion's share of the laughs." |

Nanny McPhee (2006) |
"Nanny McPhee falls back on the Nickelodeon principle "If all else fails, hit 'em with a retina-searing overload of visual and aural information."" |

National Treasure (2004) |
"Unfortunately, it lacks the conviction to embrace its own garish awfulness, resulting in little more than tedious historical and patriotic hokum..." |

National Treasure 2 : Book of Secrets (2007) |
"Secrets could easily lose 20 minutes, especially once it runs out of energy toward the end. But it's fun, goofy, and fleet enough to merit a third go-round." |

The Nativity Story (2006) |
"...a filmed Sunday-school lesson that favors a dry, by-the-Book approach over even a suggestion of dramatic interpretation. It's more Christmas pageant than movie." |

Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (1984) |
"Nausicaä is in some ways a grim and serious film, but it mixes a sweet optimism into its horror-filled lessons." |

Neil Young - Heart of Gold (2006) |
"It's hard to film icons like Young as anything but icons, but Demme's film gets past the legend, zooming in on Young's aged, heroic face and finding an artist as human as the rest of us." |

New York Doll (2005) |

New York, I Love You (2009) |

Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (2008) |
