    My All American
    There is nothing visually or thematically interesting about it. Nobody grows or changes. All the football coaches speak through clinched teeth, even when they're addressing 10-year-olds.

    Rock the Kasbah
    Murray blusters and hams his way through the first two acts before turning all mushy in the third.

    7 Chinese Brothers

    A Walk in the Woods
    It doesn't help that director Ken Kwapis stages everything like a sitcom, has no sense of pace, and buries the theme of late-life friendship under a haze of sentiment and trail dust.

    She's Funny That Way
    Peter Bogdanovich made a great screwball comedy. This isn't it.

    San Andreas
    Run! Run for your lives! Get out of this theater now! Two hours is a terrible thing to waste!

    Hot Pursuit
    It's the kind of movie where the bloopers that run with the end credits are much funnier than anything that came before. That's a good rule for a comedy: if the blooper reel is funnier than the movie, you're in trouble.

    Get Hard
    It's OK to rip off/pay homage to a better movie, but the idea is to improve on it, and ideas one thing that's completely missing from Get Hard.

    The Divergent Series: Insurgent
    If you think you've seen this movie, you have. Once it had a male protagonist and was called "Harry Potter." Then it starred Jennifer Lawrence and was called "The Hunger Games." Now it stars Shailene Woodley and goes by "The Divergent Series." Same thing, only worse.

    Jupiter Ascending
    The creators of Jupiter Ascending spent $175 million on special effects and 25 cents on a story. Audiences do not get their money's worth.
