|
About a Boy (2002) |
|
"Though ultimately derailed by an underdeveloped romance and an overly sappy ending, About a Boy shows signs that the Weitz brothers are near cinematic adulthood." | |
Justin Hartung | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
About Adam (2001) |
|
"A lesser film might have taken a darker and more obvious route with Adam's uncanny ability to be whoever people want him to be, but About Adam plays it with a warm and knowing wink of the eye." | |

Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights (2002) |
|
"Potty-mouthed enough for PG-13, yet not as hilariously raunchy as South Park, this strangely schizo cartoon seems suited neither to kids or adults." | |
J. C. Farrow | |
|

|
|
The Affair of the Necklace (2001) |
|
"Sadly, Oscar-winner Swank is completely miscast and seems every bit a 20th-century woman, even in a corset and silly wig." | |

|
|
| |
8/10 |
|
Agent Cody Banks (2003) |
|

|
|
| |

|
All the Pretty Horses (2000) |
|
"Doesn't have much of an emotional, or even physical center, cursed as it is with a storyline that wanders as aimlessly as its characters." | |

Steven Boone | |
|
|
|
| |
7/10 |
|
Anger Management (2003) |
|
"With Nicholson's winking, over-the-top performance as the icing on the cake, this is Sandler's funniest movie in years." | |
Dan Fazio | |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
The Animal (2001) |

|
|
| |
|
|
Any Given Sunday (1999) |
