    I Am Number Four
    I Am Number Four's CGI sequences are murky and dark, its performances negligible, its script genuinely inept. There is, I should note, a puppy, which arguably keeps the film this side of completely unbearable, but just barely.

    The Strangers
    What possessed Liv Tyler to take a role in this sadistic, unmotivated home-invasion flick.

    The Day the Earth Stood Still
    Dunno about the Earth, but time certainly stands still for a goodly portion of Scott Derrickson's expensively produced but utterly boneheaded remake of The Day the Earth Stood Still.

    An American Affair
    Hard to say what's dumber, the premise or the characters in William Olsson's trashily preposterous An American Affair.

    The Love Guru
    None of them -- not one, not for a moment -- is remotely funny.

    New in Town
    There's no chemistry between Zellweger and Connick, and there's not a moment in which anything anyone does feels remotely plausible.
