    Vénus beauté (institut)
    Love, however implausible, is simply beautiful in Venus.

    Lucky Numbers
    Ephron's attempt at dark humor isn't a complete payoff overall in Lucky Numbers, but it doesn't fail either.
  3. A Time for Drunken Horses
    The real hero here is Ghobadi, whose love and respect for the culture in which he was raised shines through every frame.
  4. The Little Vampire
    It's not meant to be scary. It's meant to be Disney -- a fun and warm children's fantasy.
  5. Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2
    Gets credit for avoiding the easy path. Too bad the path it chooses doesn't lead us anywhere we want to be taken.
    • Baltimore Sun
  6. Bedazzled
    Should sell its soul for a joke.

    The Legend of Drunken Master
    Vintage Chan, with amazingly well-choreographed fight scenes.
  8. The Yards
    Caan is so good as a man who watches helplessly as everything he's worked for crumbles around him, that he steals the picture from both Wahlberg and Phoenix, the ostensible stars.
  9. Pay It Forward
    More of a sales pitch than a movie.
    • Baltimore Sun
  10. Dr T and the Women
    This would be an excellent movie from a first-time filmmaker, but from one of America's premiere directors, it's a disappointment.

    The Ladies Man
    Why would anyone pay to see this movie?
    • 74 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Billy Elliot
    The performances of Bell, Walters and Lewis make this movie worth seeing - as long as you silence your cynical side and bring some Kleenex.
    • Baltimore Sun
  13. Lost Souls
    A grade-B rumination on what a nasty guy the devil can be.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    One
    Has the fingerprints of earnest, first-time filmmakers all over it.
  15. The Contender
    Misfires by constantly tossing out liberal feel-goodisms.
    • Baltimore Sun
  16. Two Family House
    Well-acted, lovingly put together and heartbreakingly honest.
    • 20 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Digimon: Digital Monsters
    Stay away from this movie. Brainless cartoonish violence.
    • Baltimore Sun
  18. Bamboozled
    Nothing seriously detracts from the film's overall brilliance.
    • Baltimore Sun
  19. Meet the Parents
    De Niro and Stiller combine to bring on laughs you don't have to feel guilty about.
  20. Requiem for a Dream
    An unrelentingly dark vision that's as hard to watch as it is impossible to walk away from.
  21. The Broken Hearts Club: A Romantic Comedy
    A slice-of-life where being gay is a fact of daily existence, not an excuse for existential dilemmas or grand tragedies.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Barenaked in America
    On the plus side, there's plenty of dry Canadian wit, a handful of songs and only occasional bits of nudity.
  23. Remember the Titans
    Lively and inspirational, with terrific performances from a big star and a host of supporting players.
  24. Beautiful
    Unfortunately, whenever Beautiful threatens to work as parody, it veers uncomfortably into pop psychology.
    • Baltimore Sun
  25. Best in Show
    Reaches the highest comic heights when the show itself starts.
    • Baltimore Sun
  26. Urban Legends: Final Cut
    Just plain bad.
  27. Woman on Top
    Lovely to look at and listen to but doesn't reward any closer study.
  28. Dancer in the Dark
    A film of so much daring, a film that takes so many chances, it's impossible not to be impressed.
    • Baltimore Sun
    • 51 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Left Luggage
    The film is a thoughtful, but by no means somber, look at an issue that might strike a particular chord with Jews.
  30. Human Resources
    A working-class drama that has its heart in the right place but undercuts itself by stacking the deck, letting its main character off too lightly and being overly impressed with its own profundity.
