Tomato 4/4 |
A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
"One doesn't leave the movie with a mind blown by visual bedazzlement but with a soul shattered by the profound sense of tragedy Linklater and company so beautifully put across." |
Glenn Kenny |

A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
"A legacy from the director’s late friend Stanley Kubrick, this sci-fi heart-tugger is sure to take its place in the unbroken line of Spielbergian summer blockbusters." |
|
Tomato 2.5/4 |
A/K/A Tommy Chong (2005) |
"Apparently granted unlimited access to Chong's personal archives, Gilbert digs up some great footage and photos from his early years as well his '70s heyday." |
Ethan Alter |
Tomato 4/4 |
About Schmidt (2002) |
"Payne once again shows his deftness with the damning or heartbreaking details as his cast brings across a tidy masterpiece." |
Fred Schruers |

Splat 2/4 |
Accepted (2006) |
"One could argue that you shouldn't expect a teen comedy to offer a nuanced depiction of the role of education in public life, but in response I'd refer you to Election and Clueless." |
Ethan Alter |
Splat 1/4 |
Across the Universe (2007) |
"Just when you think the movie can't possibly get more literal, more kitsch-infused, more mortifyingly soft-headed, it does." |
Glenn Kenny |
Tomato 3.5/4 |
Adventureland (2009) |
"The relationships and exchanges feel like real life rather than gimmicky, over-the-top scenes from other R-rated comedies." |
Krista Soriano |
Splat 1/4 |
The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002) |
"'The proper term here is 'Battlefield Earth bad'.'" |
Aaron Hillis |
Splat 2/4 |
Aeon Flux (2005) |
"If the film proves anything, it’s that what made Aeon Flux compelling and special as an animated series had everything to do with the medium and the freedom Chung was given to shape the story as he pleased." |
Ryan Devlin |
Splat |
The Affair of the Necklace (2001) |
"Though Necklace might be pretty much useless in every other respect, at the very least, it's proof that Swank has the stuff real stars are made of." |

Agent Cody Banks (2003) |
"Believe it or not, the action sequences are pretty darn great, from nicely choreographed fights (against school bullies, of course) to nail-biting chases on snowboards." |
Susannah Gora |
Splat 1/4 |
Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London (2004) |

Akeelah and the Bee (2006) |
"A lovely, touching story, Akeelah might be too pretty to be believable, but it's transporting nonetheless." |

Al Franken: God Spoke (2006) |
"This smoothly edited snapshot of a roaring mouse... is an outspoken and pretty damn funny portrait..." |
Aaron Hillis |
Splat 2/5 |
Al Franken: God Spoke (2006) |
"The movie never gets around to answering its central question: namely, why has Mr. Franken decided to go to Washington?" |
Ethan Alter |
Splat 1.5/4 |
The Alamo (2004) |
"Looks and feels like the kind of 16mm filmstrip once projected in grade-school history classes, right down to the corny dialogue and hammy acting." |

Alex and Emma (2003) |
"Here's hoping the latest from director Rob Reiner will be a little more When Harry Met Sally...and a little less The Story of Us." |
Susannah Gora |
Splat 1.5/4 |
Alexander (2004) |
"After a career of epic biopics, the director of JFK, Nixon, and The Doors has managed to take one of the most fascinating men who ever lived and turn his life into a confusing, overlong, and patently unremarkable ordeal." |
Peter Debruge |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Alfie (2004) |
"Charles Shyer’s remake du jour is a charmingly chic, dramatically weak ode to the post-Metrosexual Revolution." |
Aaron Hillis |

Ali (2001) |
"'I turned it down for a few years,' says Smith of the role of legendary boxer and cultural icon Muhammad Ali." |

Tomato 2.5/4 |
Alpha Dog (2007) |
"At its best, the film offers a pointed critique of a youth culture that views someone like Jesse James Hollywood as a person to emulate." |
Ethan Alter |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007) |
"At times funny, and even occasionally witty, Alvin and the Chipmunks is a lively, entertaining romp that will certainly bring smiles to the young ones this holiday season." |
Andrew Grant |
Tomato 3/4 |
Amandla: A Revolution in Four-Part Harmony (2003) |
"Informative, compelling, and music to the ears." |
Laine Ewen |
Splat 2/4 |
Amazing Grace (2007) |
"Earnest, respectful and thoroughly dull, Michael Apted's Amazing Grace follows all of the worst traditions of British historical dramas." |
Ethan Alter |

Amelie (2001) |
"Amélie wasn't selected for Cannes because, Jeunet says, he was told it wasn't the kind of movie he should be making." |
|
Tomato |
Amelie (2001) |
"A madcap, zippy, endlessly imaginative tale." |
Glenn Kenny |
Tomato 2.5/4 |

America's Sweethearts (2001) |
"'There’s a certain amount of cynicism to the film,' Cusack says wryly. 'No one's gotten out with their ego intact.'" |
|
Splat 1.5/4 |
American Dreamz (2006) |
"A supporting cast—including Marcia Gay Harden, and Jennifer Coolidge—are tragically underused and what little material they're given has been dumbed-down." |
Allison Williams |

American Outlaws (2001) |
"Red-hot Irishman Farrell stars as the young Jesse James, who leads his pretty-boy posse against a scheming railroad baron." |

American Splendor (2003) |
". . . one of the funniest, smartest, most moving pictures of the year." |
Glenn Kenny |
Tomato 3/4 |
American Wedding (2003) |
"American Wedding, in fact, is so tasteless, so fiendishly puerile that it’s hilarious." |
Kelly Borgeson |
Splat 2/4 |
The Amityville Horror (2005) |
"The additional gore and short-attention-span editing might make Amityville more appealing to today’s audience, but the film can’t scare up more than a few frights." |
Nicole Perri |
Tomato |
Amores Perros (2001) |
"Filmmaker Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu conveys an urgency and a compassion that ultimately make this grim picture strangely uplifting." |

Tomato 3/4 |
Analyze That (2002) |
"Overall, it feels like Crystal, De Niro, and director Ramis have settled into a familiarity with the material and each other that allows for richer comedic chemistry and improvisation." |
Susannah Gora |
Tomato 3/4 |
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) |
"...consistently ridiculous and hysterical, despite its messy mid-movie abandonment of the subject it sets out to parody." |

Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004) |
"This ’70s-set comedy, which former SNL head writer McKay penned with his pal Will Ferrell, grew out of their musings about one of the last boys’ clubs: TV news." |
Susannah Gora |
Tomato 2.5/4 |
Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera (2004) |
"Schumacher seems far more concerned with orchestrating his beautiful cast, sumptuous costumes, and lavish sets to give audiences who might not afford the Broadway show a taste of the experience, rather than defining it once and for all." |
Peter Debruge |
