    Horrible Bosses 2
    If your answer to the question "When are rape jokes funny?" is anything aside from "never," the good news is that you may still find a lot to hoot over throughout the film.

    Hot Pursuit
    The only thing that could've made Sofia Vergara's misguided contribution grislier would have been to fellate a Chiquita banana.

    Entourage
    If ever there was a movie equivalent of dad bod, Entourage is it.

    Me Before You
    It punks its impressionable audience into believing a lie, then punishes them for their foolishness.

    Daddy's Home
    Though Will Ferrell has made a career out of his own debasement, the film quickly becomes too cruel to generate laughter for anyone who would empathize with him.

    And So It Goes
    Just as Michael Douglas doesn't have it in his guts to make Oren a real son of a bitch (a grandpa Gekko), Diane Keaton's jangled neurotic tics lack any dramatic import.

    Bridget Jones's Baby
    The Pinkberry solipsism of this particular franchise all but requires our heroine persist as a lovelorn martyr for her audience’s benefit.

    Life
    Life, an incredibly square and familiar studio product, baits and switches on two disappointing propositions, moving swiftly from something expectedly cliché to something dismayingly derivative.

    Rio 2
    The net effect is a shapeless would-be diversion in which things just happen independently, a string of effects missing any cause.

    The Man Who Invented Christmas
    Since “humbug” is already spoken for by Ebenezer Scrooge, “opportunistic” would be the most apt word for The Man Who Invented Christmas.

    Unforgettable
    The truly depressing thing about a thriller as undercoocked as Unforgettable is its failure to fly on dark fantasy.

    The Intern
    Nancy Meyers is unquestionably committed to her auteurist signature of giving her female protagonists their cake and letting them eat it too.

    Planes: Fire & Rescue
    It's not even made clear whether the machines can feel pain. But after sitting through Fire & Rescue, interminable even at a lean 83 minutes, I sincerely hope they do.

    The Longest Ride
    There's little doubt where Cormac McCarthy-bashing Sparks's allegiances lie. The Longest Ride is truly no country for old ambiguity.

    The Choice
    Most Nicholas Sparks adaptations say, in cinematic terms, nothing so complicated as "roses are red." This one just points to a garden and shrugs.

    Attack of the Killer Tomatoes!
    The really frustrating thing about Tomatoes is the toothlessness of its satire.

    Annie
    2014: Annie's America makes director John Huston's elephantine, synthetically charismatic 1982 adaptation look like a Minnelliesque model of focus and concision.

    Jem and the Holograms
    It's the screenwriting equivalent of Ryan Adams sucking the pop vitality out of Taylor Swift's deliriously produced tunes.

    Risen
    It's an episode of Without a Trace: Jerusalem presented with all the panache of a Trinity Broadcasting Network TV special.

    Collateral Beauty
    David Frankel's film argues that the power of miracles can be manufactured by those who can fund them.

    Ouija
    The film consistently settles for the cheapest shock devices and the most shopworn totems of our current neo-gothic moment in the genre.

    Cannibal Holocaust
    Even the most desensitized, ghoulishly amoral gleaners of deviant cinema can’t just stare down the nastiness on display in Cannibal Holocaust and just shrug it off.
