    Despite an unlikely setting and a moderately intriguing premise, Chernobyl Diaries proves to be a generic horror flick where young tourists are systematically victimized in unoriginal and not terribly scary ways.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 38 Claudia Puig
    Annabelle invites unflattering comparisons with scary movies that came before, but its disparate parts never coalesce into a genuinely fearsome thriller.

    Do yourself a favor and rent the 1996 original from Japan instead.
    • 31 Metascore
    • 38 Claudia Puig
    Doesn't make the movie worth watching -- even if you're monstrously bored.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 38 Claudia Puig
    Moore and Ford rise above the hackneyed story, infusing the proceedings with their own chemistry and appeal. If only the adults responsible for this film could learn how to deal.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 38 Claudia Puig
    God may forgive you for seeing this needlessly brutal film. But you won't forgive yourself.
    • 51 Metascore
    • 38 Claudia Puig
    Overflows with pretensions and absurdity.
    • 17 Metascore
    • 38 Claudia Puig
    Manages to be both toothless and tasteless in its satire of TV news sensationalism.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 38 Claudia Puig
    A failure from start to finish.
    • 43 Metascore

    Machine Gun Preacher has a lot more wrong with it than a bullet-riddled premise. It is yet another iteration of the big, strong white man who comes to save legions of poor anonymous black Africans.
    • 53 Metascore
    • 38 Claudia Puig
    If you're a Rainn Wilson fan, catch a rerun of "The Office."
    • 34 Metascore

    Despite its collegiate setting, 21 and Over is pretty much for people with an IQ of 21 and under.
    • 47 Metascore
    • 38 Claudia Puig
    Don't stop believing. Just avoid clichéd musicals that try to capture the anarchic spirit of rock with trite commercial re-treads.
    • 45 Metascore
    • 38 Claudia Puig
    It's almost impressive when a movie can manage to be both repellently vulgar and sickeningly sweet in the span of a mere two hours. Almost.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 38 Claudia Puig
    It's dogged by awkward dialogue, a ridiculous plot and lackluster performances, especially by the leads.
    • 35 Metascore
    • 38 Claudia Puig
    It's unclear why the writers bothered to update the cartoon, unless it was to expand the possibilities for quips and jokey ideas. If so, they failed in their mission, as the movie elicits few laughs.
    • 31 Metascore
    • 38 Claudia Puig
    Director Kevin Smith's tweets, jokes and sharp commentary after being denied a seat aboard a Southwest Airlines flight because of his girth were a lot more engaging than Cop Out, his new movie.
    • 25 Metascore
    • 38 Claudia Puig
    Too much. The hackneyed story about an affluent damsel in distress who decides to fight her bully of a husband is simply too overdone.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 38 Claudia Puig
    There's nothing worse than a boring behemoth.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 38 Claudia Puig
    Barrels around in manic fashion much like Carrey does in most of his movies. He's meant to be a fool for love, but mostly he's just bonkers.
    • 24 Metascore
    • 38 Claudia Puig
    The cliché-laden dialogue, schlocky special effects and predictable plot are derivative; the movie is overwrought and lacks suspense.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 38 Claudia Puig
    Balls of Fury makes "Dodgeball" look like high art. It'll be tough to crack a smile, let alone laugh, during this uninspired and sophomoric satire of sports movies.

    The best thing about A Good Day to Die Hard is its title.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 38 Claudia Puig
    One of the more befuddling movies of recent years. The premise makes no sense, no matter how you turn it around in your head.
    • 29 Metascore
    • 38 Claudia Puig
    All cinematic creativity seems to have focused on devising the most repellent ways to maim and murder.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 38 Claudia Puig
    A movie that gives marriage, homosexuality, friendship, firefighters, children and nearly everything else a bad name.
    • 34 Metascore
    • 38 Claudia Puig
    Those who sit through this mindlessness get the booby prize.
    • 24 Metascore

    Maybe for the next installment, they can go off to college and find something better to do than making these silly movies.
    • 27 Metascore
    • 38 Claudia Puig
    Defanged and drippy, the remake of 1939's The Women seems to have been made for the dullard granddaughters of the sassy, sharp society matrons in George Cukor's campy original.
    • 55 Metascore
    • 38 Claudia Puig
    Wastes a moderately intriguing premise by filling it with laughably clichéd dialogue, one-dimensional characters and implausible turns of events.
