Traffic (2000) 93% EDIT “[It's] a complex, compelling ensemble drama about the morass that is the drug problem in this country today. Working at the top of his game and with a superior cast, director Steven Soderbergh vividly presents several distinct but interconnected stories.” – People Magazine Sep 8, 2023 Full Review Girlfight (2000) 87% EDIT “Newcomer Michelle Rodriguez commands notice as a pugnacious pugilist in Girlfight.” – People Magazine Mar 24, 2021 Full Review Brassed Off (1996) 79% EDIT “The movie delivers way too much doom-and-gloom-pah-pah.” – People Magazine Sep 9, 2020 Full Review Quest for Camelot (1998) 43% EDIT “Both the derring-do of this duo and the comic antics of their animal sidekicks (particularly a talkative two-headed dragon) will keep children entertained.” – People Magazine Aug 10, 2020 Full Review You, Me and Dupree (2006) 21% EDIT “You, Me and Dupree is a slight, meandering comedy that, much like Dupree on his wobbly bicycle, spins its wheels but doesn't get far.” – People Magazine Apr 22, 2020 Full Review Liar Liar (1997) 83% EDIT “This is essentially a one-joke movie, but it's a nifty joke.” – People Magazine Apr 7, 2020 Full Review The Story of Us (1999) 25% EDIT “Is there anything worse than being stuck in the company of a married couple who can't open their mouths without taking vicious swipes at each other? Such is the punishment meted out by The Story of Us, allegedly a romantic drama.” – People Magazine Apr 7, 2020 Full Review The Lizzie McGuire Movie (2003) 40% EDIT “[A] sitcommish film that astutely builds on the Disney Channel's eponymous series.” – People Magazine Jan 15, 2020 Full Review A Thousand Acres (1997) 22% EDIT “With, in effect, two authors to accommodate, the movie exhausts the audience by piling on the tear-jerky plot: fatal diseases and accidents, extramarital affairs, lawsuits, you name it.” – People Magazine Nov 27, 2019 Full Review The Original Kings of Comedy (2000) 82% EDIT “All four stick to observational humor, much of it revolving around racial differences. A lot of this is funny, but it never gets as wrenchingly deep or dark as Richard Pryor's routines in his classic concert films.” – People Magazine Aug 7, 2019 Full Review Lake Placid (1999) 47% EDIT “Too many ingredients in this croc pot.” – People Magazine Jul 9, 2019 Full Review Jurassic Park III (2001) 49% EDIT “It's all competently done, but these newly minted dinos are starting to seem kind of prehistoric.” – People Magazine Jun 27, 2019 Full Review Scream 3 (2000) 45% EDIT “While there's still plenty of gore, the emphasis on knowing, self-referential gags makes for a better movie.” – People Magazine Jun 25, 2019 Full Review Equilibrium (2002) 39% EDIT “A balanced thriller.” – People Magazine Apr 17, 2019 Full Review The Holiday (2006) 51% EDIT “Nancy Meyers is a whiz at turning out fun, frothy commercial fare.” – People Magazine Apr 2, 2019 Full Review The Cell (2000) 46% EDIT “It's eye candy, all right, but lacks any nutritional value.” – People Magazine Apr 1, 2019 Full Review Stepmom (1998) 45% EDIT “Stepmom plays just this side of icky, pulling at the heartstrings as if hitched to a Mack truck.” – People Magazine Apr 1, 2019 Full Review But I'm a Cheerleader (1999) 43% EDIT “But I'm a Cheerleader often leans too hard on stereotypes in reaching for its laughs, but Lyonne and DuVall, who plays the tomboy Lyonne falls for, give nervy, on-target performances.” – People Magazine Mar 31, 2019 Full Review Reign of Fire (2002) 41% EDIT “Better than the trailers made it seem, but nothing to get fired up about.” – People Magazine Mar 31, 2019 Full Review 10 Things I Hate About You (1999) 72% EDIT “10 Things is smarter than most adolescent fluff, but it never cuts loose with the unexpected daft zing of Clueless or transcends its pre-cap-and-gown concerns.” – People Magazine Jan 28, 2019 Full Review Never Been Kissed (1999) 56% EDIT “"This is a very bad idea." Exacta-mundo, sister.” – People Magazine Jan 23, 2019 Full Review Pokémon: The First Movie (1998) 17% EDIT “Inspiring message, uninspired movie.” – People Magazine Jan 15, 2019 Full Review Deep Blue Sea (1999) 60% EDIT “Although director Renny Harlin clearly knows his way around an action scene, he fails to make Deep seem, well, deep.” – People Magazine Jan 11, 2019 Full Review Event Horizon (1997) 36% EDIT “Despite a few nifty special effects, this sci-fi horror film, in which grisly things happen to a space crew after its members board an abandoned ship, is a boring and blood-soaked mess.” – People Magazine Dec 15, 2018 Full Review Blade (1998) 59% EDIT “A silly, pumped-up techno-thriller in which Snipes spends 24-7 slaying vampires.” – People Magazine Dec 12, 2018 Full Review
