Aberdeen (2001) |

About a Boy (2002) |
"These are characters we care about and relate to; the fact that they speak with flair and wit makes them funnier, but no less human. The movie is a gem." |

About Schmidt (2002) |
"The sharp comedy that occupies most of the film melts into a sentimental -- but not syrupy -- conclusion that is one of my favorite movie endings of the year." |

Accepted (2006) |
"It's not a perfect movie, and its story is ludicrous, but darned if it isn't charming in its bald-faced preposterousness." |

Acts of Worship (2001) |

The Adventures of Ociee Nash (2002) |
"If it were a person, you would find it cute for about 10 minutes, and then you would flee its presence at all costs, taking the lives of innocent bystanders in your haste." |

After Image (2001) |

After the Sunset (2004) |

Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London (2004) |

AKA (2002) |
"It is overlong and at times exceedingly dull, a waste of some very good techniques and ideas. It sits on the edge of being an excellent movie, then teeters over the wrong way." |

Akeelah and the Bee (2006) |
"Stands there with a straight face and tells us it's an inspiring, ennobling story of dedication and triumph ... when in fact it's an utterly derivative, 100-percent-recycled, completely forgettable story of dedication and triumph." |

The Alamo (2004) |

Alexander (2004) |
"Oliver Stone doesn't just create trainwrecks. He knocks the train off the rails, sets it on fire, then kills every person onboard. (And takes three hours to do it.)" |
