A Scanner Darkly (2006) |
"In a film that’s largely about the internal life of Bob/Fred, [Keanu] Reeves is at pains to show that he has one." |
Christopher Orr |
Splat |
A Tout de Suite (2005) |
"Jacquot seems unwilling to either shape his story or offer commentary, a standard New Wave strategy that, in this instance, makes for a tale as vague as it is nouvelle." |
Ella Taylor |
Tomato |
Aaja Nachle (2007) |
"If history has taught us anything, it's that the effectiveness of a proposition such as Aaja Nachle depends almost entirely on charm. In this case, that invitation is all but irresistible." |
David Chute |
Splat |
Abandon (2002) |
"Gaghan captures the half-lit, sometimes creepy intimacy of college dorm rooms, a subtlety that makes the silly, over-the-top coda especially disappointing." |
Chuck Wilson |
Splat |
The Abandoned (2007) |
"The last thing a filmmaker named Nacho needs is more cheese." |
Jim Ridley |

ABCD (2001) |
"At times the deck is egregiously stacked." |

Aberdeen (2001) |
"Moland ... has a fine eye for landscapes, but an even surer touch with actors." |

Abominable (2006) |
"Not quite aptly titled, but close." |
Scott Foundas |
Tomato |
About a Boy (2002) |
"There's not much more to this adaptation of the Nick Hornby novel than charm -- effortless, pleasurable, featherweight charm." |
Manohla Dargis |
Splat |
About Adam (2001) |
"While the film strives to prove its cool, it's also built on [an] insufferably antique idea." |
Hazel-Dawn Dumpert |
Splat |
Absolute Wilson (2006) |
"Wilson is the prime example of what happens when money is continually thrown at a voracious ego -- its creative universe keeps expanding until the money stops. One problem is that most of Wilson’s works don't 'snapshot' very well as excerpts." |
Steven Mikulan |
Tomato |
Absurdistan (2008) |
"Absurdistan doesn’t have a ton of high-voltage laughs, but it’s a nonstop charm machine." |
Tim Grierson |

Accepted (2006) |
"Accepted Or, Ferris Bueller gets his B.A. In this amiable but undernourished campus comedy." |

Adam & Steve (2006) |
"Adam & Steve is uneven, but it’s a relief to see a gay romance that isn’t about ab-perfect 20-year-olds, and which features lovers played by two long out-of-the-closet actors." |
Chuck Wilson |
Tomato |
Adam Resurrected (2008) |
"One cannot recommend this film strongly enough." |

Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights (2002) |
"The cartoon is about as true to the spirit of the Festival of Lights as Mr. Deeds was to that of Frank Capra." |
Dan Fienberg |
Splat |
Adam's Apples (2007) |
"Some will see this as a movie about how we’re all God’s children. I saw only the misanthropic fulminations of Jensen’s runaway ego." |

Adaptation (2002) |
"One of the most soulful and loopily romantic movies I've seen all year." |

Adored - Diary of a Porn Star (2004) |
"This feeble comedy-tragedy has Sirkian aspirations but never misses an opportunity to settle for being flesh-friendly gay-film-festival fodder." |

The Adventures Of Elmo In Grouchland (1999) |
"The film is nothing if not benign, but its merits are moot for those above 7 or so." |

Tomato |
The Adventures of Felix (2001) |
"It would all be too obviously feel-good if Ducastel and Martineau weren't also tuned in to the liberating drift of the open highway and a sharp native humor that adds needed flesh and blood to their walking metaphors." |
Paul Malcolm |

The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002) |
"Dismally dull sci-fi comedy." |

The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle (2000) |
"The nostalgic glow wears off pretty quickly ... and the movie has nothing to fall back on except bad puns and a brace of awkward cameo turns." |

After Freedom (2004) |

After Midnight (2004) |
"This impassioned yet somewhat too precious fable from writer-director Davide Ferrario feels calculated to make a cineaste swoon, and yet . . . it never quite does." |

After the Sunset (2004) |
"Instantly forgettable." |

After The Wedding (2007) |
"Evidently, this bloated piece of Oscar-nominated nonsense was a big hit in Denmark, which makes me think there’s a glittering future in that otherwise discriminating country for several seasons of Days of Our Lives." |

Agent Cody Banks (2003) |
"Bond-worthy gadgets to see [Cody] through his first assignment, but what he really needs is a third-act rewrite." |

Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London (2004) |
"The first Cody Banks worked by playing on the immense gap between secret-agent sophistication and hormonal teenage awkwardness; volume 2 never finds a similar conceit to milk." |
