    Bring It On
    Absurdly unrealistic at times.
    • Chicago Tribune
  2. Solomon & Gaenor
    Has a melodramatic glow.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Smiling Fish & Goat on Fire
    Rarely ventures beyond familiar territory.
    • Chicago Tribune
    • 47 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Bittersweet Motel
    A documentary that will likely leave Phish diehards hankering for more, and everybody else still wondering what all the fuss is about.
    • Chicago Tribune
  5. Orfeu
    A seductive revisiting of an old classic - one that helps us see these lovers and their world with renewed passion.
    • Chicago Tribune
    • 44 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Love & Sex
    What we have here is the cinematic equivalent of a dead shark.
  7. The Crew
    I laughed all the way through it.
    • Chicago Tribune
  8. Place Vendôme
    This is a quiet thriller and a middle-aged romance, and it's full of desperation and oozing anxiety.
    • Chicago Tribune
  9. The Ballad of Ramblin' Jack
    The beauty of The Ballad of Ramblin' Jack lies in its ability to transform itself into a sad tale of loss, regret and missed opportunities while it also remains a solid documentary about a once-influential artist seeking his place in the sun.
    • Chicago Tribune
  10. The Original Kings of Comedy
    One funny movie - for at least half the time.
  11. Steal This Movie
    Feels more like a music video than a serious look back at a time, a place and a very smart, funny and unconventional man.
  12. The Cell
    Impresses more than it entertains.
    • Chicago Tribune
  13. Godzilla 2000
    This is camp, pure and simple, and unless the translators have taken far greater liberties than is apparent, the filmmakers know it.
    • Chicago Tribune
    • 17 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    Bless the Child
    Entertaining, but it doesn't add enough to the genre to make it truly blessed.
    • Chicago Tribune
  15. Cecil B. DeMented
    Weighed down by the presence of Griffith. She plays her satiric part without much gusto or conviction - as if she were afraid we might believe she really is Honey.
    • Chicago Tribune
    • 30 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    The Replacements
    This is the laziest kind of filmmaking.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The Opportunists
    Contains ample dry humor and its share of surprising turns, but they operate on a human level rather than with the kind of empty flash we've come to expect from the post-Tarantino crime flicks.
  18. An Affair of Love
    Halfway through, it becomes clear that the filmmakers don't know how to end the film.
    • Chicago Tribune
  19. Autumn in New York
    So laden with forced plot twists that it will never be able to recover.
    • Chicago Tribune
  20. Aimee & Jaguar
    When Aimee and Jaguar gets on one of its frequent rolls, it can evoke memories of Bertolucci or even De Sica.
    • Chicago Tribune
  21. The Tao of Steve
    The problem is that we never see Dex employing the Steve technique to bed a female.
  22. Saving Grace
    Whimsy and wit are the saving graces of much British movie comedy, and Saving Grace has a decent measure of both.
  23. The Tic Code
    Works better as a sociological study than as a gripping drama.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Psycho Beach Party
    There's nothing here that's outrageous, startling or daring enough to give your funny bone a jolt.
  25. Space Cowboys
    Ends up working like a charm.
  26. Coyote Ugly
    Meant to be appreciated solely for its gleaming surfaces.
    • Chicago Tribune
    • 24 Metascore
    • 38 Critic Score
    Hollow Man
    The folks who made this movie apparently had nothing inside their heads, either.
    • Chicago Tribune
  28. Nutty Professor II: The Klumps
    Despite greater resources and high-tech whiz bang than the first movie, has a lot more turkey than dinner.
  29. Girl on the Bridge
    It's surprising how much of the old mood Leconte manages to recapture, how sumptuous he makes the black-and-white cinematography and timeless Parisian and Mediterranean settings look.
    • Chicago Tribune
  30. Wonderland
    One of the best realistic dramas of the year.
