    Time and Tide
    A lyrical, exciting adrenaline rush.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 75 Kim Morgan
    A Knight's Tale
    Though the picture is definitely flawed, it maintains a joie de vivre that's surprisingly refreshing.
    • 38 Metascore

    Little Nicky
    Though it's debatable whether Sandler is squandered or just supremely annoying here, the film's flaws aren't entirely his fault.

    Rat Race
    Rat Race isn't a stupid movie -- it's an aggressively stupid movie that journeys into realms of absurdity that are, well, aggressively funny.

    P.S. Your Cat Is Dead!
    If the movie wasn't about an actor but instead about an insurance salesman or a plumber who looked like James Gandolfini, it might come off better. But then, who says a plumber would care either?

    Bring It On
    The newest, and probably first, true cheerleading movie.

    Nico and Dani
    Delivers the oft-trod subject of boys' sexuality with intelligence and freshness.

    Crazy/Beautiful
    Really a vehicle for Dunst, which would be fine if only the vehicle were more inspired.
    • 61 Metascore

    Goya in Bordeaux
    Plods and frustrates, but forgivably, it is a deeply felt picture.
    • 25 Metascore

    Enough
    Taking the film as a thriller, it's neither exciting nor scary, hampered by a middle that plays much too long.
    • 56 Metascore
    • 75 Kim Morgan
    The Anniversary Party
    For all its superfluous and self-conscious moments, the picture is a draining kick.
    • 91 Metascore

    E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial
    It's a fascinating look into what Spielberg truly loves, but it's not so much a masterpiece as a nice milestone. [2002 re-release]

    The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
    The film wears out its welcome by the halfway mark, becoming a silly spectacle.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 42 Kim Morgan
    Bringing Down the House
    Sometimes funny but mostly stupid film directed by Adam Shankman might have worked had it been made on TV by Norman Lear in the 1970s.
    • 63 Metascore
    • 58 Kim Morgan
    Drumline
    It's an odd, overly long picture, filled with too many pauses but dotted with just enough funky band sequences to keep you interested.

    Legally Blonde
    Alas, the movie just isn't bouncy, fresh or funny enough. It's just not blonde enough.
    • 35 Metascore
    • 25 Kim Morgan
    Scooby-Doo
    Scooby-Doo is bad. Let's just get that right out of the way. Filled with unclever quips, tired humor, a lazy silliness and bland execution, the picture is a tedious puff of nothing.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 50 Kim Morgan
    Novocaine
    The film is weighed down by the decision of director David Atkins to throw too much into the mix. The result is a serious problem of consistency.

    Alex & Emma
    You can't help but think how much better this film would be had Woody Allen directed it...How much more acerbic fun would it be to see Judy Davis playing stenographer to a neurotic, writer's-blocked Woody?

    Late Marriage
    Doesn't give off the same happy feel of the Indian arranged-marriage movie "Monsoon Wedding." Rather, it poses hard questions and leaves them unanswered.

    Big Eden
    Entertaining, well-acted and hopeful about a world in which sexual orientation isn't a big deal, Big Eden is a pretty picture -- it just tends to be a little too perfect and cute for its own good.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 50 Kim Morgan
    Saving Grace
    A sweet, loopy British comedy filled with good actors and funny moments.
    • 74 Metascore
    • 91 Kim Morgan
    Liam
    It's almost numbingly sad, but you won't regret watching -- and you'll surely never forget it.
    • 30 Metascore

    The Tuxedo
    In The Tuxedo, ridiculously, Chan's just a suit. A suit walking Jennifer Love Hewitt's breasts around. Chan deserves better.
    • Portland Oregonian
    • 44 Metascore
    • 58 Kim Morgan
    It Runs in the Family
    An unsteady mixture of treacle and dark comedy that never feels as "dark" as it pretends. Though well-intentioned, it's not terribly compelling.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 100 Kim Morgan
    Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
    The best-looking, best-scripted and funniest of Smith's pictures, it's also Smith's sharpest.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 42 Kim Morgan
    The Truth About Charlie
    It's nice that Demme reveres the Hollywood classic, the French cinema and the glamour of his actors. But nice is all The Truth About Charlie is -- a nice mess.
    • Portland Oregonian
    • 72 Metascore

    A Beautiful Mind
    Crowe understands what's interesting about Nash: He's not a feel-good figure. It's a pity the same can't be said for Howard.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 58 Kim Morgan
    All Over the Guy
    It's still trite and a little too cutesy for its own good. Gay or straight, the cliches remain, but not to a stultifying degree.
    • 57 Metascore
    • 100 Kim Morgan
    Master of the Flying Guillotine (re-release)
    Simultaneously modern and yet gorgeously primitive with its budget sets and simple but influential score, this is not just a film re-release but a film event.
