Rating Title Year Quote Author

Tomato

A Scanner Darkly (2006)

"The characters look as though they have been flattened inside a glass slide, a perfect visual reflection of their political and psychological binds."

Desson Thomson

Tomato

A Tout de Suite (2005)

"Le Besco has an amazingly shaped face that, alone, takes you through most of the movie."

Desson Thomson

Tomato

A Tout de Suite (2005)

"It's one of those rich girl/bad boy things that defy understanding and leave you on the outside. Fascinated, but on the outside."

Stephen Hunter

Splat
2.5/5

A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)

"Its heart is in the right place. But the intelligence behind the rest of the movie is, well, a little too artificial."

Desson Thomson

Splat
2.5/5

A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001)

"Fascinating, if uneven and ultimately rather silly."

Stephen Hunter

Splat

Abandon (2002)

"Consider the title your best advice. These 99 minutes roll by like 99 years."

Desson Thomson

Tomato

ABC Africa (2002)

"A gorgeous and surprisingly profound meditation on a place and its people."

Ann Hornaday

Tomato

ABC Africa (2002)

"Will do nothing to advance or detract from the reputation of the acclaimed Iranian filmmaker."

Michael O'Sullivan

Tomato

Abduction: The Megumi Yokota Story (2007)

"It sounds like something out of a Robert Ludlum novel, but it's heartbreakingly true, as the documentary makes clear by looking at the phenomenon not from the top down or the outside in, but from the bottom up and the inside out."

Stephen Hunter

Tomato
4.5/5

Aberdeen (2001)

"Difficult to watch, but it's also impossible to take your eyes off the screen."

Michael O'Sullivan

Tomato
4/5

Aberdeen (2001)

"Clean and transparent, with no movie director tricks."

Stephen Hunter

Tomato
5/5

About a Boy (2002)

"A hip, whip-smart entertainment."

Ann Hornaday

Tomato
4.5/5

About a Boy (2002)

"Hilarious, touching and wonderfully dyspeptic."

Desson Thomson

Tomato

About Schmidt (2002)

"Nicholson ... produces the most understated -- and one of the most powerful -- performances of his career."

Desson Thomson

Tomato

About Schmidt (2002)

"The pleasures of About Schmidt are what might be called Midwestern pleasures: a sly sense of humor, sturdiness, self-discipline, solidarity."

Stephen Hunter

Above the Law (1988)

Desson Thomson

Splat

Above the Law (1988)

"Woefully short on originality, intelligibility and anything resembling taste."

Hal Hinson

Splat

' Above the Rim (1994)

"A stultifying cliche of a movie -- even by sports-flick standards -- this basketball allegory doesn't get anywhere near the rim."

Desson Thomson

Tomato

Absolute Wilson (2006)

"Does a good basic job of recapitulating the highs and lows of a career filled with restless energy and an outsize drive to achieve."

Peter Marks

Tomato

Absurdistan (2008)

"Writer-director Veit Helmer creates a wildly imaginative world worthy of Gabriel Garca Mrquez at his most playful, drenching it in vivid color and a Slavic sense of bleak humor."

Ann Hornaday

Tomato

The Abyss (1989)

"The human stuff is more than worth the descent."

Desson Thomson

Splat

The Abyss (1989)

"I'd sooner believe that Moby Dick could swim up the drainpipe."

Rita Kempley

Splat

Accepted (2006)

"A fluffy teen comedy, Accepted gets annoying fast."

Adriane Quinlan

Splat

Across the Universe (2007)

"Across the Universe, in which Taymor shoehorns, contorts and otherwise bullies some of the Fab Four's greatest hits into a vapid Hollywood musical, is the kind of project that must have looked great on paper. On screen, eh, not so much."

Ann Hornaday

Action Jackson (1988)

Rita Kempley

Splat

Adam & Steve (2006)

"Adam & Steve strikes an unsatisfying balance between serious romantic texture and outright farce."

Desson Thomson

Splat

Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights (2002)

"Was Punch-Drunk Love only a dream?"

Ann Hornaday

Splat

Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights (2002)

"Isn't appropriate for any innocent child."

Desson Thomson

Tomato

Adaptation (2002)

"Adaptation may not be the first movie to examine the creative process. But it's the most playfully brilliant."

Desson Thomson

Tomato

Adaptation (2002)

"Adaptation is simply brilliant."

Stephen Hunter

Splat

The Addams Family (1991)

"An otherwise very funny scene featuring Thing amounts to an extended ad for Federal Express, and the rap beats from Hammer's new album boom from passing cars in several scenes -- nothing will date this movie faster."

Joe Brown

Tomato

The Addams Family (1991)

"More than merely a sequel of the TV series, the film is a compendium of paterfamilias Charles Addams's macabre drawings, a resurrection of the cartoonist's body of work. For family friends, it would seem a viewing is de rigueur mortis."

Rita Kempley

Splat

Addams Family Values (1993)

"A thinner, airier reunion."

Tomato

Adoration (2009)

"Adoration is a delicate rumination on how innocence and truth evolve in the aftermath of catastrophe, as people stake emotional ownership in tragedy."

Dan Zak

Tomato

Adventureland (2009)

"Thanks to an exceptionally deft touch, Mottola manages to capture the absurdity and anguish of young adulthood, while never sacrificing meaning on the altar of crude humor."

Ann Hornaday

The Adventures Of Elmo In Grouchland (1999)

"The direction of Gary Halvorson and screenplay by Mitchell Kriegman and Joseph Mazzarino keep Elmo's adventures sparkling."

Jane Horwitz

Tomato

"It has a personable character in Felix."
