Black and White (1999) 39% 2/5 EDIT “While Toback certainly makes a game effort to study the infiltration of hip-hop into the mainstream, his inability to choose what ground to cover ultimately results in an episodic hotch-potch.” – BBC.com Jan 13, 2004 Full Review 3/5 EDIT “” – BBC.com Dec 23, 2003 Full Review Joe Somebody (2001) 21% 2/5 EDIT “The sort of feeble redemption story Hollywood often palms off on the film-going public.” – BBC.com Nov 11, 2002 Full Review Black and White (2002) 33% 2/5 EDIT “” – BBC.com Oct 24, 2002 Full Review Lilo & Stitch (2002) 86% 4/5 EDIT “Touching, funny and strange.” – BBC.com Sep 23, 2002 Full Review The One (2001) 13% 2/5 EDIT “” – BBC.com Apr 17, 2002 Full Review Monster's Ball (2001) 85% 4/5 EDIT “Intimate, gruelling, and in some strange way, uplifting.” – BBC.com Feb 17, 2002 Full Review The Royal Tenenbaums (2001) 81% 5/5 EDIT “Funny, touching, intelligent, strange... well, let's just stop before we run out of superlatives.” – BBC.com Feb 6, 2002 Full Review The Princess Diaries (2001) 49% 3/5 EDIT “A very watchable, very warm little Disney comedy.” – BBC.com Dec 3, 2001 Full Review The Deep End (2001) 82% 2/5 EDIT “A rather dull movie, weighed down by its pretensions.” – BBC.com Nov 19, 2001 Full Review Bandits (2001) 64% 3/5 EDIT “It's still funny, but the flabby bits in-between the comic set-pieces and character-driven scenes are, quite frankly, an annoyance.” – BBC.com Nov 12, 2001 Full Review Legally Blonde (2001) 72% 4/5 EDIT “Funny, enjoyable and, above all, relaxing.
