Rotten Tomatoes: Movies
Reviews and previews of movies from print, online, and broadcast critics.

92% Iron Man
Director Jon Favreau and star Robert Downey make this smart, high impact superhero movie one that even non-comics fans can enjoy.

13% Made of Honor
Sharp performances by Patrick Dempsey and Michelle Monaghan can't save this forgettable, formulaic chick flick from its comic failings.

61% Baby Mama
Baby Mama is a lightweight, predictable comedy that ekes by on the strength of its performers.

54% Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay
It may not equal its predecessor, but Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay is still good for some laughs -- and food for thought.

84% Forgetting Sarah Marshall
With ample laughs and sharp performances, Forgetting Sarah Marshall finds just the right mix of romantic and raunchy comedy.

66% Redbelt
Mamet's mixed marital arts morality play weaves between action and intellect but doesn't always hit its target.

33% Speed Racer
The Wachowski Brothers have overloaded Speed Racer with headache-inducing special effects, and neglected to develop a coherent storyline.

30% What Happens in Vegas
What Happens in Vegas has a few laughs, but mostly settles for derivative romantic comedy conventions and receives little help from a pair of unlikable leads.

50% Battle for Haditha
Documentary filmmaker Nick Broomfield (AILEEN WURNOS: THE SELLING OF A SERIAL KILLER and KURT AND COURTNEY) turns his attention to the war in Iraq in this fiction film.

50% The Fall
Award-winning music video, commercial and film director Tarsem Singh (The Cell) creates a moving and seamless blending of mundane life in a 1915 Los Angeles hospital with a visually sumptuous fantasy world of exotic bandits, evil tyrants, ...
