    Hotel for Dogs
    Look, I love dogs. But this film tried my patience almost beyond endurance.

    Rugrats Go Wild
    Its pleasures are slight and fleeting, and so many movies have done what it does, and done it much better, that there's nothing to get even remotely excited about - much less to draw audiences into theaters.

    Johnson Family Vacation
    Lame.

    The Real Cancun
    The only question is how many levels of meaning can be plumbed from the phrase "Let's party!"

    Stuart Little 2
    Manages to pretty much ignore all the strengths of the earlier film while exacerbating all its faults.

    Evelyn
    There's way too much blarney in Evelyn.

    Knockaround Guys
    Malkovich acts as if he's doing Shakespeare, pontificating, enunciating and generally overreaching.

    How High
    Method Man and Redman just don't have the comic timing to pull off 90 minutes at front-and-center.

    Torque
    Torque isn't a movie, it's an 81-minute soda commercial.

    The Butterfly Effect
    So, here's the problem with The Butterfly Effect: It's silly.

    What it is not is funny.

    Uptown Girls
    It's supposed to be funny watching these two characters and wondering who'll be the first to start acting her age, but it's really just pitiful, watching two talented actresses...given so little to work with.

    2 Fast 2 Furious
    So what do we have here? Lots of cars going very fast.

    The Honeymooners
    At least The Honeymooners is not one of those remakes that looks bad compared to the original. It's just bad, period.

    Not Another Teen Movie
    Formless, feckless, mindless, directionless and at times stunningly humorless.

    Underclassman
    There's little that's special about Underclassman, certainly nothing that Murphy and Eddie Griffin haven't done better in movies far funnier than this.

    She Hate Me
    A mess, but it means well.

    The Wedding Date
    There's nothing about The Wedding Date that isn't forced or labored; there's only a stubborn determination to embrace every cliche and make sure the stars photograph well.

    Garfield
    Garfield the comic strip stopped being funny about 10 years ago. Garfield the Movie makes it to about the 10-minute mark before tedium sets in.

    3000 Miles to Graceland
    This sophomoric film has little to do with Elvis, and everything to do with putting as much carnage as possible on screen under the guise of art, poetry, choreography, taxidermy.

    The Hunted
    To be fair, Friedkin does amp up the tension when called for. If only it were all for some purpose, or in service to a story that actually went somewhere.

    You Got Served
    The astonishing brio and verve of street dancing deserves better than this.

    Beverly Hills Chihuahua
    It's hard to go wrong with a movie full of talking dogs. But the makers of Beverly Hills Chihuahua sure try.

    Around the World in 80 Days
    Heaven knows what the suits at Disney were thinking, for what they ended up with was a bland Jackie Chan movie and a lifeless travelogue.

    But I'm a Cheerleader
    Tries to be both poignant and wicked, and succeeds at neither.

    No visual style, amateur effects.

    The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
    Simply go out and rent the original. In the thin ranks of killer-power-tool flicks, it's still the standard to beat.

    Exorcist: The Beginning
    Congratulations, Renny Harlin. You've successfully exorcised all the horror out of The Exorcist.

    Eight Crazy Nights
    It's hard to figure who this picture is supposed to be for. Although a cartoon, it's way too mean-spirited and crass for young kids (parents, be forewarned!). And the idea that any substantial number of adults would find this sort of thing entertaining ... let's pray civilization hasn't come to that.
