    The Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland
    Subtle lessons on friendship, materialism and cooperation along with clever touches.
    • Chicago Tribune
  2. Happy, Texas
    Don't expect a lot, and you'll probably enjoy Happy, Texas, as I did -- mostly. At the very least, Steve Zahn will make you laugh.
  3. Mystery, Alaska
    Has the potential to be much more than it is, especially with the collection of able actors on hand.
  4. Plunkett & Macleane
    Scott treats the material as if it were grist for a 30-second spot or a rowdy music video.
  5. Drive Me Crazy
    An innocuous teen film.
    • Chicago Tribune
  6. Three Kings
    A genre movie with an agenda that's too packed. Inevitably, some of the many balls it's juggling get dropped -- (but it's) one of the most entertaining and original actioners in several years.
  7. Divorce Iranian Style
    A highly provocative documentary.
    • 41 Metascore
    • 38 Critic Score
    Double Jeopardy
    So nonsensical you don't understand why anyone would actually make it.
  9. Mumford
    On a direct line with the whimsical small-town comedies of the '40s and '50s.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Jakob the Liar
    I never lost awareness that I was watching actors speaking lines, not real people --a problem I didn't have in the more unreal "Life Is Beautiful."
  11. Guinevere
    A shy and depressed college graduate falls in love with a Bohemian artist, as in Woody Allen's "Manhattan."
    • Chicago Tribune
  12. Sugar Town
    Just because it's true to life doesn't mean it can sing.
  13. Romance
    A singularly cheerless trip, explicit but sterile, racy but dull.
  14. For Love of the Game
    Much of this movie seems a crock.
    • Chicago Tribune
  15. Blue Streak
    Offers two or three worthwhile laughs.
  16. Get Bruce
    This one's worth the ticket price only if you are a showbiz-aholic.
    • Chicago Tribune
  17. Lucie Aubrac
    This is one not to be missed.
  18. American Beauty
    I've got to admit it's a stunner.
    • Chicago Tribune
  19. The Minus Man
    Minimalism be damned; even a postmodern noir needs more than Minus Man gives us. So do the actors.
  20. Love Stinks
    Stewart's insistently ironic delivery of every line becomes an irritant in a movie that is already monstrously irritating.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Earth
    An extraordinary movie on many levels.
  22. Best Laid Plans
    The plot thickens and thickens and thickens until it chokes on a tangled mess of double-crosses.
    • Chicago Tribune
  23. Black Cat, White Cat
    Astonishing, crazily delightful.
  24. Stigmata
    Tom Lazarus and Rick Ramage should be ashamed to have written such nonsense.
  25. All the Little Animals
    Beautifully produced: a moving film with a fascinating story and exemplary acting.
    • 62 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Outside Providence
    Like Richard Linklater's "Dazed and Confused," Outside Providence reminisces vividly, recalling the era fondly but not with too much sugar.
  27. Chill Factor
    It's one of those movies that are unfortunately so technically well done, it's hard to tune out on the senseless story.
    • Chicago Tribune
  28. The 13th Warrior
    Has a remote feel. It sometimes impresses but never soars.
    • Chicago Tribune
  29. A Dog of Flanders
    It was the adult in me that wept when the movie ended. Take the kid and have a good time.
  30. The Muse
    A real gem: a deadpan fantasy that turns into one of the best pictures ever about the post-"Star Wars" studio moviemaking era.
