    But I'm a Cheerleader
    Limp satire isn't worthy of its good intentions.

    Croupier
    Croupier should please people who take their noir straight up -- with plenty of twists.

    Soft Fruit
    Yields beguiling nectar.

    Training Day
    Mesmerizing entertainment, but it's also a cop-out.

    The Grandfather
    It's filled with far too much talk and it never justifies its length, but if you succumb to its old-fashioned Renoir style of storytelling, The Grandfather has its pleasures.

    Isn't She Great
    A watery cocktail of second-rate, Ab Fab-style bitchery and shameless schmaltz.

    Bootmen
    "Footloose" meets "The Full Monty" in Bootmen, a cliché-ridden tap dance drama.

    Human Traffic
    So desperate to be rebellious and cool, that it's impossible to see it as anything more than one big case of "been there, done that" -- even if your drugs have already kicked in.

    Anywhere But Here
    You could do a lot worse than spend two hours in the company of two such talented actresses.

    Pitch Black
    Visually, Pitch Black is sleek and stylish in a post-apocalyptic way, and a scantily clad Radha Mitchell does a nice, more femme variation of Sigourney Weaver's Ripley.

    Jump Tomorrow
    Just try not to smile while watching Jump Tomorrow.

    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.

    Rush Hour 2
    Oy, it's such a pleasure that you'll be begging for Rush Hour 3.

    Non-Stop
    All this artful violence won't change your life, but Non-Stop is a satisfying quickie.

    The Virgin Suicides
    A detective story without a solution and a coming-of-ager without discernable characters.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 59 Kevin Maynard
    That's the Way I Like It
    Affectionately skewers the age of polyester pants.

    Glitter
    Take the G out of Glitter and it's litter.

    The Sixth Sense
    The biggest piece of supernatural hooey since estranged wife Demi Moore's "The Seventh Sign."

    Chain Camera
    The results are far more real than MTV's The Real World.
    • 83 Metascore
    • 90 Kevin Maynard
    Election
    Election is a bracingly intelligent adult comedy that shrewdly captures adolescence.

    Steal This Movie
    Never better than middling, despite its best intentions.

    Titanic
    Will take you by surprise as a romantic, fast-paced, entertaining spectacle that deserves to earn back every penny spent to produce it.

    Best in Show
    It's got enough hilarious moments that, all in all, the film's bite is as toothsome as its bark.

    Human Resources
    Most tenderly, the film deciphers the true meaning of its corporate-speak title in Franck and his father's impassioned struggle to ensure each other's welfare.

    Panic
    Unfolds like quietly engrossing short fiction, reminding us that there are few things more pleasurable than being in the hands of a good storyteller.

    The Monkey's Mask
    Makes for compulsive viewing.

    The Closer You Get
    An amiable but contrived bit of blarney.
    • 51 Metascore

    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.
