Jackass: Number Two (2006) |
"Quality is relative when you're talking about a movie where a man ingests beer through a tube inserted into his rectum." |

Jackass: The Movie (2002) |
"I have rarely laughed as hard as I did at this movie; however, I have also rarely been as ashamed of my laughter as I was here." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat C |
The Jacket (2005) |
"Moves like a thriller yet rarely does anything thrilling." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B+ |
James' Journey to Jerusalem (2003) |
"A deceptively gentle social satire brimming with likable performances and smart humor." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B |
The Jane Austen Book Club (2007) |
"The movie's sunny demeanor and frivolous (but not dumb!) story make it a winner." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato A- |
Jarhead (2005) |
"A humor-tinged but ultimately haunting drama that examines the psychology of a Gulf War veteran as carefully and insightfully as any film has done." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat C- |
Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993) |
"The film suffers from bad continuity, sloppy editing, bland acting, ridiculous plot developments and cardboard characters. It is also the most grotesque film in the series." |
Eric D. Snider |

Jason X (2002) |
"You have to wonder what the point is anymore." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato A- |
Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back (2001) |
"The jokes are surprisingly on-target and fresh, with few misfires." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B |
JCVD (2008) |
"A witty self-parody/comeback vehicle for Van Damme would have been easy enough to make; El Mechri goes the extra mile to make it a good film, too." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B- |
Jeepers Creepers (2001) |
"It's not a very respectable horror film, but it does deliver the goods more often than not." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B- |
Jeepers Creepers 2 (2003) |
"I can recommend the film ... as a competently made, relatively scary horror flick." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat C+ |
Jennifer's Body (2009) |
"What felt fresh and original two years ago, in Juno, has lost its luster now." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat C+ |
Jersey Girl (2004) |
"So by-the-numbers, so depressingly average, that I'm tempted to believe Smith is PARODYING by-the-numbers, depressingly average films." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B+ |
Jesus Camp (2006) |
"Unfair and riveting and alarming and highly watchable -- but outrageously unfair." |

Jet Lag (2003) |
"In the realm of predictable rom-coms, this one has enough charm and humor to divert us for an hour and a half." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B- |
Jimmy & Judy (2006) |
"Both an experiment and a trainwreck, and I confess to being eager to see how it turned out in both respects." |

Joe Somebody (2001) |
"It's three times as long as a TV sitcom, but with just as much depth, a bit more swearing, and probably fewer laughs." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat D+ |
John Carpenter's Ghosts of Mars (2001) |
"It's hard to call this a thriller, since there is nothing thrilling about it." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat C |
John Q (2002) |
"This is sappy, unrealistic stuff with hardly a true moment anywhere in it." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B- |
John Tucker Must Die (2006) |
"It's not grating the way many of its genre are, and the pandering it does to its teenage female audience seems good-natured, not cynical." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat F |
Johnson Family Vacation (2004) |
"A paralyzingly unfunny and desperate comedy. It dulls the senses and aggravates the mind. There hasn't been a movie this painful to watch since "The Passion of the Christ."" |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B |
Joshua (2007) |
"It's the carnival-fun-house kind of entertainment: genuinely creepy in some places, giggly in other places, and sometimes both at the same time." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat D+ |
Josie and the Pussycats (2001) |
"No nostalgia to draw people in, and no compelling humor, characters or situations to keep them there." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato A- |
Joy Ride (2001) |
"Since most thrillers ignore matters of logic, character and pacing, Joy Ride is an innovation because it doesn't." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B- |
Ju-On: The Grudge (2004) |
"There is nearly enough atmosphere and general creepiness to make you forget that the film doesn't really add up to anything." |
Eric D. Snider |

Jump Tomorrow (2001) |
"The whole affair is fun and light, to be sure; so fun and light it almost floats away." |

Splat C |
Jumper (2008) |
"Add Jumper to the list of movies with nifty premises that are squandered by a sloppy, rushed execution." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato A- |
Junebug (2005) |
"Rich with details both humorous and sad.... Deeply satisfying." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat C |
Jungle Book 2 (2003) |
"You should skip the theatrical release and rent it -- don’t buy it -- when it arrives on video, where it should have gone in the first place." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato A- |
Juno (2007) |
"One of the year's snappiest, snarkiest, most quotable comedies." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B- |
Jurassic Park III (2001) |
"Whatever their goal is, Jurassic Park III is a little jagged and a little harsh. But it's also rather entertaining, even if you do expect to see the raptors wearing hockey masks and wielding chainsaws." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B- |
Just Friends (2005) |
"Despite its flaws, the movie comes out ahead, more funny than not." |

Just My Luck (2006) |
"Every single scene is an abominable assemblage of mind-boggling stupidity, completely unmotivated behavior, and unfunny slapstick." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat C- |
Just Visiting (2001) |
"The word 'innocuous' was created for movies like this, both in the sense of being harmless, and in the sense of being unlikely to inspire any strong feelings." |
