The R.M. (2003) |
"It is not a great film, but it's a good one, a pleasant one." |

Tomato A- |
Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002) |
"That rare film whose real-life basis is, in fact, so interesting that no embellishment is needed." |
Eric D. Snider |

Rachel Getting Married (2008) |
"A fractured American family that's bracingly honest and relatable." |

Racing Stripes (2005) |
"If you want a positive reaction to your film, don't put farting animals in it." |

Radio (2003) |
"This is a movie that cannot accurately be said to have failed because it doesn't seem to have tried anything. It only aims at getting Pavlovian responses from audiences too sleepy to realize they're being manipulated." |

Raise Your Voice (2004) |
"It has no spark, no wit, and no purpose other than to convince the world that Hilary Duff is a celebrity. I wasn't buyin' it 19 months ago, and I'm not buyin' it now." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B- |
Raising Helen (2004) |
"One of Garry Marshall's better efforts. It is gently witty and occasionally entertaining, if you can overlook the fact that you've seen it all before." |

Raising Victor Vargas (2003) |
"One of the most deliciously authentic films I've ever seen." |

Rambo (2008) |
"A cynical cash-grab, made not because Stallone had some good ideas for the character but because he wanted to capitalize on it." |

Rat Race (2001) |
"The title is ironic ... given how slow and without momentum the thing is." |

Tomato A- |
Ratatouille (2007) |
"Almost as funny, joyful, and heartfelt as anything that Pixar's merry band of genius-nerds has ever done." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato A- |
Raw Deal: A Question of Consent (2002) |
"A strong, effective discussion of the issues at hand, and a powerful reminder that there are at least two sides to every story." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B+ |
Ray (2004) |
"It's the music that keeps me drawn into the film, followed closely by Jamie Foxx's soulful (in both senses of the word) performance." |

The Reader (2008) |
"Whatever legitimacy the story once had must have been lost in translation, because what appears on the screen is a cold, artless lump." |

The Reaping (2007) |
"Ads for The Reaping ask 'What hath God wrought?,' but I don't think it's fair to pin this on Him." |

Splat D+ |
Rebound (2005) |
"The movie's bad, but at least it isn't aggressively annoying. It has puke jokes, but hey -- no farts! Put those quotes in your ads, 20th Century Fox." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B- |
Recess: School's Out (2001) |
"It is amusing and mostly devoid of crude humor, which is worth mentioning with kids' films nowadays." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat C+ |
The Reckoning (2004) |
"It is, despite the distractions, just a simple murder story, and the revelations in the end are hardly surprising or noteworthy." |

Red Dragon (2002) |
"It is, in its own right, a thrilling and compelling film, meeting the dual goals of telling a good story and satisfying the morbid cravings of an audience dying to see more of Hannibal Lecter." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat C+ |
Red Eye (2005) |
"There isn't a bit of the plot that is not predictable, but there's always a giddy thrill in seeing someone pop out from behind something where you had not expected him to be." |

Redbelt (2008) |
"Twists and turns with the best of them, with a story line that comprises so many elements it's impossible to guess which direction it's going to head next." |

Redline (2007) |

"As intellectually dishonest toward religion as Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed was in the other direction." |

Remember the Titans (2000) |
"A cheerfully uplifting triumph, that rare film that conveys emotion without sentimentality, and whose weaknesses are so overpowered by its strengths that you practically forget they exist." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B- |
Rendition (2007) |
"I have no qualms with any of the performances, or with the film's individual components. It's the overall effect that's lackluster. This is a film that's good and decent, but not as deep it wants to be." |

Reno 911!: Miami (2007) |
"They're out of ideas. Moving it to a different city and putting it on the big screen doesn't cure that problem." |

Splat C |
Rent (2005) |
"Standing on a table at an all-night cafe and singing about how The Man won't get you down is cute when you're just out of college. When you look 35, you need to stop whining and get a job." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat C+ |
The Replacements (2000) |
"It's a puppy-dog of a movie: not worth much, but at times quite amusing and always trying its darnedest to please you." |

Requiem for a Dream (2000) |
"The most powerfully disturbing movie of the year, possibly of the last several years." |

Rescue Dawn (2007) |
"Even if this story weren't true, it would still be riveting. Herzog has found inspiration in the wilds of the jungle once again." |

Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004) |
"It is approximately just as loud, gross and stupid as its predecessor was, and you get to see Milla Jovovich's boobs. End of review." |

Resident Evil: Extinction (2007) |
"Are there any video games where the whole point is to sit around doing nothing for 95 minutes?" |

Resurrecting the Champ (2007) |
"The fact that a film so seemingly middle-of-the-road could, as it turns out, be so thoughtful and profound is encouraging." |

The Return (2004) |
"It's a compelling movie, albeit a dark, gray one." |

The Return (2006) |
"A bleak, listless horror film that hews so closely in plot and tone to Gellar's The Grudge that it might as well be a sequel" |
Eric D. Snider |

Return to Me (2000) |
"The film is largely entertaining, often sweet, occasionally even moving." |

Return to Never Land (2002) |
"It doesn't do the original any particular dishonor, but neither does it exude any charm or personality." |
