    Vacation
    Father doesn't just know best, he's the only one whose knowledge or lack thereof means anything at all.

    Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip
    In the film, Alvin and the Chipmunks proudly align themselves not with Dr. Demento, but with Kidz Bop.

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

    The 5th Wave
    The sense that children’s attitudes toward rampant militarization are being gradually normalized is the film's objectionable given.

    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.

    Ride Along 2
    Like any serving of junk food, it seems engineered to give you that initial rush of satisfaction, but leaves you in a dead zone where the only thing you want is more of the same.

    Scouts Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse
    The flick is an artless, puerile shadow of the likes of Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg's Cornetto trilogy.

    Unfinished Business
    The whole point of Vince Vaughn's cinematic existence is that he's a paragon for reformed chauvinism. He's an irrepressible but highly tamable id. Not so here.

    Silent Night, Deadly Night
    Silent Night, Deadly Night brought the idea to new levels of cold sleaziness.

    Blended
    The filmmakers only bother to lay out comedic set pieces that are simply family-friendly big-budget variations on Jackass stunts.

    Love the Coopers
    Sloppy and haphazard where it should be calculatedly chaotic, it can't ever seem to settle on an appropriate tone.

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

    The Gallows
    The film is sstrictly a high-tech spin on one of those Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark.

    The Best of Me
    Even permitting that the movie's setup counts almost by default as one of Nicholas Sparks's more complicated scenarios, that makes his failure to draw up compelling, flawed, human characters all the more conspicuous.

    Fantastic Four
    It adds more grist for the mill to the notion that studios don't hit the big red "reboot" button in any other state than a panic.

    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.

    Showgirls
    Showgirls is truly one of the only ’90s films that treats pop culture as a vibrant field of social economics and cerebral pursuit, and not merely tomorrow’s nostalgia-masturbation fodder.

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

    Father Figures
    Father Figures, which finished shooting more than two years ago before spending endless months without a release date, is both meandering and bloated, suggesting the Frankensteinian result of brutal test screenings.

    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.

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

    The Garbage Pail Kids Movie
    Imagine parents sitting in the audience with their naughty children (who used their Cabbage Patch dolls as driveway obstructions for their Big Wheel obstacle courses) and feeling ruefully double-crassed.
