A/K/A Tommy Chong (2005) |
"What could have been either a scathing critique of the drug war or an intimate portrait of a stoner facing mortality instead comes off as a fawning infomercial for its subject." |

The Abandoned (2007) |
"Director Nacho Cerdà succeeds in pushing the haunted-house movie into an abstract realm where the past and present fold into each other." |

Abduction: The Megumi Yokota Story (2007) |
"This is a fascinating, underreported piece of recent world history, but Patty Kim and Chris Sheridan's documentary Abduction: The Megumi Yokota Story doesn't do it full justice." |

Accepted (2006) |
"It isn't the predictability that drags [Accepted] down so much as the complete lack of spark." |

Across the Universe (2007) |
"Its crazed ambition. When it falls, it falls far, but at least that means it's reaching high." |

Adam (2009) |
"The film is afflicted with a fatal case of the cutes: It’s never an encouraging sign when The Little Prince, that eternal touchstone of precious perma-children, emerges as a major motif for a romantic drama." |

Adam Resurrected (2008) |
"Even when it flies off the rails deep into its third act, Resurrected remains strangely hypnotic." |

Adoration (2009) |
"Under the violin swells of Mychael Danna’s enveloping score, Egoyan weaves the personal, the political, and the technological into an immense yet intimate comment on our troubled times. In doing so, he stumbles back into relevance again." |

Adventureland (2009) |

Afghan Star (2009) |
"If nothing else, Afghan Star offers a reminder of how much has changed in Afghanistan from the late ’70s -- when Kabul was a secular-oriented city with co-ed universities and a thriving nightclub scene -- to the rise of the Taliban." |

After The Wedding (2007) |
"After The Wedding could be the cinematic equivalent of a Coldplay song. And while that isn't necessarily a slam, it isn't a recommendation either." |

Afterschool (2009) |
"The passing of time and the evolution of technology may give it an expiration date, but more likely, Campos’ film stands to be an essential document of what it was like to be a young person in the late ’00s." |

Agnes and His Brothers (2006) |
"It says something about Roehler's vision for Agnes And His Brothers that he didn't think much about the movie's centerpiece character, beyond the simplistic irony of having the family transsexual be the most normal." |

Akeelah and the Bee (2006) |
"If [director] Atchison's well-acted, good-intentioned crowd-pleaser can trick even one moviegoer into thinking that knowledge and spelling are somehow cool, then his film will be performing a societal good that offsets its slack reliance on formula." |
Nathan Rabin |
Tomato B- |
Al Franken: God Spoke (2006) |
"A fascinating combination of class clown and fact-happy debate-club president, Franken nonetheless makes for a compelling subject, but God Spoke veers uncomfortably into hagiography, especially as it winds down." |

Alien Trespass (2009) |
"There’s no shortage of either the originals or imitators, so why make Alien Trespass, a send-up of second-shelf ’50s sci-fi so straight-faced, it could almost pass as the real thing?" |
