Splat 1.5/4 |
Jack Frost (1998) |
"One of those dumb, corny concoctions that attempts to be a heartwarming family film, but is too muddled in its own cliches and predictability to be the least bit touching." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
Jackass: Number Two (2006) |
"If ever a studio film was released in theaters with the power of making audience members puke all over themselves, this is it." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Jackass: The Movie (2002) |
"Too often, the viewer isn't reacting to humor so much as they are wincing back in repugnance." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
The Jacket (2005) |
"The ambitions of the film are diffused by a nagging sensation that we've seen it all before, and done with a surer hand." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Jarhead (2005) |
"The tagline for Jarhead is 'Welcome to the Suck.' Truth in advertising must be making a comeback." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Jason X (2002) |
"In the annals of the Friday the 13th series, Jason X is one of the weaker entries." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Jawbreaker (1998) |
"An entertaining and smart film." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001) |
"The movie is so conventional that it ends up being just as cliched as the Hollywood filmmaking system it sends up." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Jeepers Creepers (2001) |
"The best thing to happen to the horror genre since 1999's groundbreaking The Blair Witch Project." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Jennifer's Body (2009) |
"Jennifer's Body could strip away its violence and otherworldly elements and would still work as a supernaturally-tinged emblem of teenage life." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
Jersey Girl (2004) |
"[Kevin Smith] has mistaken maturity for old Hollywood cliches and conventions." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius (2001) |
"A mostly fun way to spend 77 minutes and, with its lovely candy-colored visuals, it looks good too." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Joe Dirt (2001) |
"Woefully unfunny." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Joe Somebody (2001) |
"So uninteresting and overflowing with lame jokes that it is sure to bore viewers of every age, shape, and size." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
John Q (2002) |
"John Q may be too problematic to be marked a great movie, but one thing definitely is: Denzel Washington." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
John Tucker Must Die (2006) |
"The broad, lazy humor only sporadically elicits chuckles." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
Johnny English (2003) |
"While Atkinson is at his offbeat best, the film he has been placed within is sorely routine and more often blase than not, its every joke telegraphed far in advance of its ultimate appearance." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3/4 |
Johns (1996) |
"Although far from perfect, johns is an edgy and powerful motion picture." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat .5/4 |
Johnson Family Vacation (2004) |
"Appallingly unfunny...About as stimulating as an actual 300-mile drive across the desert wastelands of Arizona and New Mexico." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Joshua (2007) |
"A haunting and evocative motion picture that stays with you." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Josie and the Pussycats (2001) |
"Innocent, light-hearted, and charming." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008) |
"Briskly paced but soulless where it counts, the film acts as empty spectacle that, when it all comes down to it, isn't particularly spectacular." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Joy Ride (2001) |
"An absolutely merciless thriller--exciting, marvelously crafted, strongly acted, and with more than a few moments destined to increase your heartbeat." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Julie & Julia (2009) |
"The alternating storylines are slight and conflict is severely lacking, but Meryl Streep and Amy Adams are extraordinary, lifting so-so material into an enjoyable, easy-breezy, late-summer trifle." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Jumper (2008) |
"With no one to root for, no adequate story development, and action scenes that are the epitome of underwhelming, Jumper is a lost cause." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Junebug (2005) |
"A warm and honest gem of a movie, frequently laugh-out-loud funny in surprising and genuine ways, and quietly touching without forcing obvious emotions on the viewer." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3/4 |
Juno (2007) |
"Light on plot but plentiful in moments of keen human observation, Juno is authentic and, oh, so winning." |
Dustin Putman |
Tomato 3/4 |
Jurassic Park III (2001) |
"An almost non-stop parade of snazzy, state-of-the-art visual effects and fast-paced, breathtaking action set pieces." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
Just Friends (2005) |
"There are funny moments--a few even hilarious--but the majority of jokes try so hard and go so far over-the-top that they splat on the ground before takeoff." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
Just Like Heaven (2005) |
"Consistently too dumb in its plotting to elicit the sort of enchantment and whimsy it strives for." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
Just Married (2003) |
"Lacks the momentum or care needed to make it genuinely romantic, consistently humorous, or an insightful portrait of just-marrieds." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Just My Luck (2006) |
"A romantic comedy neither romantic nor particularly funny." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
Just Visiting (2001) |
"Cursorily enjoyable, but almost instantly forgettable." |
Dustin Putman |
Splat 2/4 |
Juwanna Mann (2002) |
"Does not go far enough in its humor or stock ideas to stand out as particularly memorable or even all that funny." |
