    The Legend of 1900
    It's a wonderful reminder of the importance of music in the movies.

    Barenaked in America
    At their trenchant, tuneful best, the Barenaked Ladies take flip comic spins on serious subjects (alcoholism, heartbreak). But offstage, they have nothing of substance to reveal.

    Osmosis Jones
    The flat, gross-out live-action bits, directed by (surprise!) Peter and Bobby Farrelly, don't jive with the zippy, Tex Avery-style animated segments, directed by former storyboard artists Piet Kroon and Tom Sito.

    Pay It Forward
    Despite being full of Oscar-winning talent, this is still just a better-dressed, drawn-out episode of "Touched by an Angel."

    Blue Moon
    Like its accordion-filled score, it's nothing but a golden moldie.

    Romeo Must Die
    Li's light touch and explosive fighting skills deserve a better vehicle than this overcooked pot of New Jack suey.

    Bridget Jones's Diary
    What's right as rain with Diary is the casting.

    High Heels and Low Lifes
    An enjoyable female buddy caper -- more "Outrageous Fortune" than "Thelma and Louise."

    O
    Too much of a locker-room melodrama to make for great tragedy.

    The Million Dollar Hotel
    The film has an unabashed romantic tone that's matched by Wenders' usual flair for visual drama.

    Life as a House
    There's really nothing more to this by-the-numbers, ailment-of-the-week fodder dressed up with a classy cast.

    Moulin Rouge!
    It's the kind of flourish that makes you smile -- that makes you believe in the power of movies.

    About Adam
    Simply a pleasant diversion rather the paean to crazy-in-love classics it would so like to be.

    Loving Jezebel
    Captures the embarrassment of foreplay, but it could use a few lessons in the art of seduction

    Nora
    Like "Pollock," Nora is a convincing portrait of the intersection between creative genius and crazy, all-consuming love.

    Splendor
    There's nothing remotely bizarre about this boy meets girl meets boy tale.

    Requiem for a Dream
    Never the heart-wrenching emotional experience it seems intended to be.

    Come Undone
    Come Undone is the quintessential gay date at the art house.

    Just Looking
    At best a vaguely Semitic episode of "The Wonder Years."
    • 34 Metascore
    • 40 Kevin Maynard
    Isn't She Great
    A watery cocktail of second-rate, Ab Fab-style bitchery and shameless schmaltz.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 43 Kevin Maynard
    Bootmen
    "Footloose" meets "The Full Monty" in Bootmen, a cliché-ridden tap dance drama.

    Jump Tomorrow
    Just try not to smile while watching Jump Tomorrow.
    • 23 Metascore

    Bats
    A sleek rip-off of "The Birds" that is fast, furious, and watchable, but lacking in the two elements most essential to a silly screamfest like this: scares and laughs.

    The Virgin Suicides
    A detective story without a solution and a coming-of-ager without discernable characters.

    • 59 Kevin Maynard
    That's the Way I Like It
    Affectionately skewers the age of polyester pants.

    Steal This Movie
    Never better than middling, despite its best intentions.
    • 49 Metascore
    • 60 Kevin Maynard
    The Monkey's Mask
    Makes for compulsive viewing.

    The Closer You Get
    An amiable but contrived bit of blarney.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 50 Kevin Maynard
    What Lies Beneath
    Startlingly shallow even for a summer movie.
    • 48 Metascore
    • 58 Kevin Maynard
    The Fantasticks
    Fans starving for some song and dance celluloid may be satiated, but this movie version really shows the material's age.
