U-571 (2000) |
"A taut, exciting action film with surprising depth." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B |
The U.S. vs. John Lennon (2006) |
"Never fails to engage. It's well-paced and chock-full of interesting tidbits." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat C |
Ultraviolet (2006) |
"A confusing jumble of sci-fi jargon and random plot twists, where the characters know perfectly well what's going on but the audience doesn't." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B- |
Unaccompanied Minors (2006) |
"If Feig is working below his usual cleverness level here, at least he and the kids seem to be having fun doing it." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat D |
The Unborn (2009) |
"At last we are making crappy horror films entirely on our own, without having to rip them off from Japan! U-S-A! U-S-A!" |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B+ |
Unbreakable (2000) |
"Darkly exhilarating." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat C |
Uncle Nino (2003) |
"It means well, darn it, and if it fails to entertain, at least it fails to annoy, too." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat C- |
Undead (2005) |
"Undead is struggling to exist in a world that doesn't need it." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B- |
Under the Sand (2001) |
"The acting is tremendous." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat C+ |
Under the Tuscan Sun (2003) |
"If it were a half-hour shorter -- and thus better-focused, story-wise -- I would recommend it. As it stands, I have some beautiful mental snapshots of the scenery and the locals, but I can't imagine taking the trip again." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat D |
Underclassman (2005) |
"As fate would have it, I forgot to bring my Cop Movie Cliché bingo card to the screening. It's a shame, because I know I'd have won." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B |
Undercover Brother (2002) |
"The satire is at both cultures' expenses, which is a beautiful thing." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat D+ |
Underdog (2007) |
"Hollywood once again demonstrates its ability to take a mediocre idea and destroy what little potential it had. They offer a graduate-level course in this skill at Disney University." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B+ |
Undertow (2004) |
"The story itself, though occasionally compelling, is mostly just a means to an end. It's the people who are most interesting." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat C- |
Underworld (2003) |
"It's the sort of film that's far more fun to talk about that it is to watch. It doesn't rise to the level of hootingly bad camp; it's too turgid and serious for that, with overwrought dialogue." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat C- |
Underworld: Evolution (2006) |
"The movie isn't funny or campy or terribly exciting or very interesting, but it's not egregiously dimwitted or insulting, either." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat C- |
Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (2009) |
"The creators seem to have abandoned all hope of manufacturing anything that's even coherent, let alone imaginative." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat D |
Undiscovered (2005) |
"I am no fan of Ashlee Simpson, nor of her retarded, buck-toothed sister, but that has nothing to do with my view of this film. It would be just as bad if it were Ashlee-free." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat C+ |
Unfaithful (2002) |
"'Unfaithful' cheats on itself and retreats to comfortable territory. Too bad." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B |
An Unfinished Life (2005) |
"Lasse Hallstrom's straightforward direction brings the story to the cockles of one's heart, which it promptly warms." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B- |
The Uninvited (2009) |
"Even in retrospect it's not a great film, but it's better than the first 80 minutes suggested it was going to be." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato A |
United 93 (2006) |
"It's a sensitive, brilliant, uncynical re-creation, one that seeks not to exploit the dead but to commemorate them." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B+ |
The United States of Leland (2004) |
"We all make mistakes. Whether we dwell on them or rise above them is the issue, and this film addresses that question with compassion and insight." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B+ |
Unknown White Male (2005) |
"Paints an absorbing, even haunting picture of one life wiped away and a new one begun." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B |
Unleashed (2005) |
"Uniquely entertaining in a visceral, emotional way." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat C+ |
Untraceable (2008) |
"The movie equivalent of a clueless old person ranting about the Internet." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B |
Up and Down (2005) |
"Hrebejk suggests, through this tragi-comic film, that while things are rough now, they've got to get better. I mean, they can't get much worse, can they?" |

Up With Me (2008) |
"Up With Me is proof that you can make a good film out of old ideas." |
Eric D. Snider |
Tomato B+ |
The Upside of Anger (2005) |
"A sharply funny, piercing examination of righteous indignation." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat D+ |
Uptown Girls (2003) |
"The sort of film that shuffles along sleepily, dazedly, barely aware of what it's doing and hardly caring whether the audience is still following it or not." |
Eric D. Snider |
Splat F |
Urban Legends: Final Cut (2000) |
"It starts bad, is bad in the middle, has some more badness near the end, and then erupts into a grand finale of badness so bad it makes other bad things look good." |
