  1. Beautiful People
    It's a spirited and essentially optimistic film, but it's also simplistic.
    • Boston Globe
  2. Boiler Room
    Derivative and flawed. But it does throw off a few sparks.
  3. Hanging Up
    A flimsy sister act.
  4. The Whole Nine Yards
    Light on its feet and reveling in its deviousness, it stays one step ahead of us .
  5. Not One Less
    In style and story line, the film is daring in its simplicity.
  6. Pitch Black
    The B-movie is still very much with us.
  7. Snow Day
    Takes a vacation from quality.
  8. The Tigger Movie
    If a long, chilly afternoon needs to be filled, The Tigger Movie won't hurt. But neither will it enchant.
  9. The Beach
    It's "Beach Blanket Bingo" revisited, but with a Eurocast and more exotic locations.
  10. Gun Shy
    The bathroom jokes in Gun Shy wear thin.
    • Boston Globe
  11. Scream 3
    A lame little flat liner.
  12. The Cup
    A small film and, ultimately, a satisfying one.
  13. Eye of the Beholder
    Never brings its potentially intriguing plot strands into focus.
  14. Isn't She Great
    A surprisingly warm and engaging entertainment - brassy, schmaltzy, funny.
  15. The Big Tease
    What saves it is that it's lighter than mousse and is animated by a handful of engaging performers.
    • 13 Metascore
    • 38 Critic Score
    Down to You
    Prinze charming, but can't save movie.
  17. The Boondock Saints
    (Duffy) navigates the twisted collision of religious faith and the thrill of the kill, altruism and brutality, with an ingenious mix of humor, horror, mysticism, and just plain hipness.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    My Dog Skip
    The film's vintage setting is as much a character as any other. Some of the best moments evoke the best parts of easygoing small town life in a bygone era.
  19. Next Friday
    The action is mostly witless and predictable. One measure of its desperation and lack of respect for its audience is the frequency with which it labors to wring humor from flatulence and excrement gags.
  20. Fantasia 2000
    A solid two-bagger, not a home run.
    • Boston Globe
  21. The Hurricane
    (Washington's is) an astonishing performance, partly because it's so devoid of histrionics, and it has Oscar nomination written all over it.
    • Boston Globe
  22. The Third Miracle
    Takes on provocative and stimulating subject matter, but can't bring it into satisfying dramatic focus, stranding three strong actors who are superior to their material.
  23. Play It to the Bone
    Isn't going to be a contender
  24. Titus
    A brilliant production of a mediocre play.
  25. Galaxy Quest
    A clever, affectionate, and entertaining holiday snack for sci-fi fans. Falling somewhere between slick and cheesy.
  26. The Talented Mr. Ripley
    A slick, twisty, top-of-the-line crime thriller with gorgeously sensual textures and a screenful of wickedly faceted performances.
  27. Snow Falling on Cedars
    The kind of richly layered film that Hollywood seldom attempts, much less brings off. But it's more than brought off here in grand, solid style and beautifully crafted detail.
  28. Angela's Ashes
    While the film dutifully reproduces many incidents from the book, it lacks the spirit and vitality of its source. And - no small problem - it lacks McCourt's voice knitting the vignettes together.
  29. Any Given Sunday
    Far too long, but its rambunctiousness is engaging, propelled by Stone's virtuosic quick-cutting.
  30. Man on the Moon
    Remains a frustratingly opaque study. There's something missing, namely Kaufman.
