    Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky
    Igor may be the most important composer of the 20th century, but he is a mere human. Coco, in this beautiful but indulgent French film, is a work of art.

    Jackass Presents: Bad Grandpa
    The movie itself is not unsatisfying, though it’s less fun than previous Jackass films, and has a worse title.

    Stonewall Uprising
    For a movie about a groundbreaking gay rebellion, Stonewall Uprising plays it much too straight.

    Elemental
    The problem with Elemental is that it is, in every way, the epitome of a Pixar film, except that it isn’t any good.

    Faster
    In Faster, it's a car, not actors, that drives movie.

    Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole
    And the action? It's especially hard to determine who's fighting whom in "Legends," because, well, because they are a bunch of owls.

    Yogi Bear
    An uninspired studio product that demands as little from the audience as it did from its writers, directors and actors.

    We Bought a Zoo
    The realities that Crowe creates all seem like pleasant enough places to be, but you'd never mistake them for real life. The fuzzy, squishy world of We Bought a Zoo may be the Cameron Crowe-iest of them all.

    Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore
    Is it mindless fun for the kids in an air-conditioned environment? I guess, sure, but it's maddening how many details in Cats & Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore are swiped wholesale from other stories.

    Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald
    Congratulations to Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald for being the first flat-out terrible product of the Harry Potter expanded universe. The first two movies were not good movies, but no matter how sludgy and overlong Chris Columbus made them, they were salvaged by the truly magical origin stories they told.
