A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) |
"Too personal and too reckless, but that's a welcome change in a time of bland and anonymous studio films." |
Dave Kehr |
Splat 5/10 |
Abandon (2002) |
"It's just plain boring." |
Erich Scholz |
Splat 2/4 |
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 |
Tomato |
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." |
Chris Barsanti |
Tomato 8/10 |
About Schmidt (2002) |
"An utterly believable and gut-wrenching portrait of Midwestern loneliness." |
Justin Hartung |
Splat 5/10 |
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 |
Tomato 9/10 |
Adaptation (2002) |
"For those in on the joke, it's funny and smart -- a bold experiment in rule-breaking." |
Dan Fazio |

The Adventures of Felix (2001) |
"Sweet, sexy and deceptively frivolous." |
Steven Jenkins |
Splat |
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." |
Bill Pearis |
Tomato 8/10 |
Agent Cody Banks (2003) |
"The stars of TV's Malcolm in the Middle and Lizzie McGuire make a dashing pair of big-screen leads in this junior Austin Powers fantasy." |
J. C. Farrow |
Splat 4/10 |
Alex and Emma (2003) |

Jordana Brown |
Splat |
All Over the Guy (2001) |
"Badly acted and humorless." |
Bilge Ebiri |
Splat |
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." |
Dave Kehr |
Splat 4/10 |
All the Queen's Men (2002) |
"This ludicrous film is predictable at every turn." |
Michael Phillips |
Splat 6/10 |
All the Real Girls (2003) |
"The film's strengths are overshadowed by Green's flawed script, which wobbles awkwardly between art-house eccentricity and trite Hollywood sentimentality." |
Justin Hartung |
Tomato |
Almost Famous (2000) |
"The film is fundamentally warmhearted." |
Dave Kehr |
Splat |
Along Came a Spider (2001) |

"Tautou's sublime performance and the film's unshakable devotion to her make for a deeply satisfying experience." |
Chris Barsanti |
Splat |
America's Sweethearts (2001) |

Tomato |
American Pie (1999) |
"American Pie stirs the adolescent heart and groin!" |
Steven Boone |
Tomato |
American Pie 2 (2001) |

Jackie Potts |
Tomato |

"Unless Analyze This is among your all-time favorites, you won't miss a thing by skipping this retread." |
Ross Brooks |
Tomato |
Analyze This (1998) |
"Harold Ramis' Analyze This is the mob parody Billy Wilder or Preston Sturges might have made if they'd had access to Robert De Niro and the F-word." |

"The young actors playing Frank at various ages (Joe Breen, Ciaran Owens, Michael Legge) are all excellent." |
Steven Boone |
Tomato 7/10 |
Anger Management (2003) |

Dan Fazio |
Tomato |
The Animal (2001) |
"Lacking Sandler's barely hidden arrogance, Schneider is appealing in the lead." |
Dave Kehr |
Splat |
Anna and the King (1999) |

Sandra Ramani |
Splat |
The Anniversary Party (2001) |

"Director Peter Howitt ... doesn't bring any perceptible style to the table." |
Dave Kehr |
Tomato 7/10 |
Antwone Fisher (2002) |
"Though the screenplay -- written by the real-life Fisher -- seems a bit self-aggrandizing, even stone-hearted cynics would be wise to pack tissues." |
Bill Pearis |
Tomato |
Any Given Sunday (1999) |
"The brutal game sequences, combined with a thumping soundtrack you feel in your stomach, should make his target audience drool." |
