Fresh 3/5	Fresh 64%	Bring It On (2000)	Click here to read article — Hollywood.com Posted Nov 20, 2008
Fresh B	Fresh 77%	The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (2005)	" By keeping their story threads separate, benefits from solid pacing and character development. Since no one is stuck in the sidekick role, you get a chance to connect to each girl." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Jun 1, 2005
Rotten C+	Rotten 52%	Ice Princess (2005)	" We get that the heroine is geeky (laying groundwork for the duck-to-swan transformation), but must she babble physics formulas at parties?" — Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Mar 18, 2005
Fresh 4/5	Fresh 82%	The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)	" In a career-making performance, the saxophone-blowing, tantrum-throwing Law plays Dickie with such vigor and energy that when he exits, the light dims slightly from the film..." — Hollywood.com Posted May 14, 2004
Rotten C	Fresh 84%	Mean Girls (2004)	" *Sadly, much like an SNL* sketch, Mean Girls starts off sharp and juicy, then runs out of gas halfway through.*" — Seattle Post-Intelligencer* Posted Apr 29, 2004
Fresh B	Fresh 64%	13 Going on 30 (2004)	" Garner's performance is uplifting. She's been touted recently as yet another possible heir to Julia Roberts' throne, and her attainable girl-next-door quality makes it's plain to see why." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Apr 22, 2004
Rotten C	Rotten 12%	Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London (2004)	" *Try as it might, this glossy action adventure isn't nearly as clever as the Spy Kids* franchise.*" — Seattle Post-Intelligencer* Posted Mar 11, 2004
Rotten C+	Rotten 13%	Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004)	" Gives [Lohan] ample time to act starry-eyed and show off her dancing and singing, but little chance to prove she can hold her own among the Hilary Duffs of the world." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Feb 19, 2004
Rotten C	Rotten 16%	The Perfect Score (2004)	" Possesses little of the snap or charisma of the films that inspired it." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Jan 29, 2004
Rotten C+	Rotten 17%	You Got Served (2004)	" Tries to be a story about triumph and teamwork. Instead it comes off like a group of high schoolers awkwardly auditioning for a play." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Jan 29, 2004
Rotten C	Rotten 23%	Torque (2004)	" *A Fast and the Furious* on motorcycles that gets its juice from its road action but little else.*" — Seattle Post-Intelligencer* Posted Jan 16, 2004
Fresh B	Rotten 23%	Bad Boys II (2003)	" Watching a Bruckheimer with natural comics like Smith and Lawrence makes it all go down easily. If you like this type of movie, that is." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Jul 17, 2003
Rotten D+	Rotten 7%	Boat Trip (2003)	" Unabashedly dumb and pathetically offensive." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Mar 20, 2003
Rotten C	Rotten 14%	View from the Top (2003)	" It dances into Spoofville, then jerks back into straight romantic comedy." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Mar 20, 2003
Fresh C	Rotten 26%	Cradle 2 the Grave (2003)	" A formulaic picture that's entertaining enough, but makes you wonder if Li will ever duplicate his success in Asia in the States." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Feb 27, 2003
Fresh A-	Fresh 75%	The Way Home (2002)	" An uncluttered, resonant gem that relays its universal points without lectures or confrontations." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Dec 5, 2002
Fresh B+	Rotten 55%	The Santa Clause 2 (2002)	" Allen is genuinely affable as Santa with wit." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Oct 31, 2002
Fresh B-	Rotten 17%	Abandon (2002)	" You've convinced yourself it's a drama just before the story twists, after which the throwaway 'filler' scenes become conversation points you'll decipher on the way home." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Oct 18, 2002
Fresh B	Rotten 30%	Murder by Numbers (2002)	" Doesn't bank on cheap plot twists or unrealistic betrayals, but rather the subtle, juicy roles bestowed on two young actors." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Apr 18, 2002
Rotten C-	Rotten 19%	National Lampoon's Van Wilder (2002)	" Had it not wandered into aforementioned eclair territory, it could have been better than a discount video rental." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Apr 4, 2002
Rotten D	Rotten 27%	How High (2001)	" You've seen it before." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Apr 3, 2002
Rotten D	Rotten 13%	Sorority Boys (2002)	" Sorority Boys, which is as bad at it is cruel, takes every potential laugh and stiletto-stomps the life out of it." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Mar 21, 2002
Rotten C-	Rotten 34%	Resident Evil (2002)	" *Like many video games, Resident Evil* has a drearily long setup, then a lot of blood and gore, then an overextended ending.*" — Seattle Post-Intelligencer* Posted Mar 14, 2002
Rotten C+	Rotten 31%	All About the Benjamins (2002)	" Its generic villains lack any intrigue (other than their funny accents) and the action scenes are poorly delivered." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Mar 7, 2002
Fresh B-	Rotten 38%	40 Days and 40 Nights (2002)	" Mostly fun to watch, buoyed by some strong dialogue and performances by the supporting cast." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Feb 28, 2002
Fresh B	Rotten 35%	Super Troopers (2002)	" The cast, collectively a successful example of the lovable-loser protagonist, shows deft comic timing." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Feb 14, 2002
Rotten D+	Rotten 14%	Crossroads (2002)	" A charmless road pic slathered in cheese." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Feb 14, 2002
Fresh	Rotten 43%	Big Fat Liar (2002)	" The film gets snaps just by attempting the high road, and should be enjoyed by its target audience." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Feb 7, 2002
Rotten B-	Rotten 57%	Birthday Girl (2002)	" Birthday Girl conspicuously shifts between a semiromance, semicomedy and semicrime thriller, which dilutes the best of its parts and results in a confection only half-baked in entertainment." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Jan 31, 2002
Fresh B-	Rotten 27%	A Walk to Remember (2002)	" What saves the film is the chemistry between the two leads." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Jan 25, 2002
Rotten C+	Rotten 52%	The Mothman Prophecies (2002)	" The Mothman Prophecies falters in part because it leaves too much, well, out there." — Seattle Post-Intelligencer Posted Jan 24, 2002
Rotten D+	Rotten 28%	Not Another Teen Movie (2001)	" *By the time a member of teen-movie royalty makes a cameo in the film's finale, Not Another Teen Movie* has long exhausted any hope of succeeding. Instead it becomes, well, just another teen movie.*" — Seattle Post-Intelligencer* Posted Dec 13, 2001
