Tomato 3/4
Waitress (2007)
"Full of verve, warmth, and a genuine love of life, and it is a fitting eulogy to a life cut short."
Mark Dujsik
Tomato 4/4
Waking Life (2001)
"It’s quite safe to say that films like Waking Life come about once in a blue moon."
Splat 2/4
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story (2007)
"So is it a satire or a spoof?"
Splat 2.5/4
Walk the Line (2005)
"With such a workman-like construction, the romance loses a lot of its potential emotional impact, and by pushing it into the background, the exploration of Cash's extraordinary career comes out lacking as well."
A Walk to Remember (2002)
"A soap opera for young adults, who should be at school when all the television ones are on."
Splat 1.5/4
War (2007)
"A cliff notes version of an action movie."
We Are Marshall (2006)
"For a movie about the effects of tragedy on the people in a football town, We Are Marshall doesn't care about the grief process, its characters, or, most shockingly, football."
We Own The Night (2007)
"The whole project feels workmanlike, an exercise in neither offending nor impressing."
Tomato 3.5/4
We Were Soldiers (2002)
"There is such a broad scope to the film that it seems ready to topple over on itself, but it very rarely misses a beat."
The Wedding Planner (2001)
"May be one of the most cheerfully unamusing movies in a long time."
Splat 0.5/4
Welcome Home Roscoe Jenkins (2008)
"Ugh. Just ugh."
Whale Rider (2003)
"A wonderful, uplifting film about the healing power of communal growth and adaptation."
When a Stranger Calls (2006)
"The horribly misguided, knuckle-brained advertising campaign ... turns a fairly uninspired thriller into a completely useless one."
Where the Wild Things Are (2009)
"Does indeed deserve admiration for its loving actualization of Sendak's world ... but the movie's dissertation-like expansion of the story never truly comes together into anything meaningful."
Whip It (2009)
"Manages to make a sport about women on roller skates beating the crap out of each other tedious."
Whiteout (2009)
"We do wish you the best in your future endeavors and that you do manage to find a warmer climate."
Wild Hogs (2007)
"An innocuous, monotonous comedy that at least has a playful spirit, but its tone doesn't amount to much when pitted against forced shtick and an even more forced attempt at a plot."
Wind Chill (2007)
"Could have worked, if only I had given a damn."
Windtalkers (2002)
"Undermines its purpose by becoming a movie about the code-protectors and not the code-talkers."
Winged Migration (2003)
"If one of the aims of art is to enhance one's appreciation of the beauty of nature, then the film succeeds as art as well."
