    Dog Park
    Populated with whiny, unappealing characters that are impossible to care about and flatly staged sitcomish set-pieces...this lame Canadian import's a real woofer.

    The Glass House
    Psychological thrillers depend on convincing audiences to suspend disbelief, but this one doesn't manage that for a moment.

    Corky Romano
    Frankly, there wouldn't have been enough shtick here to warrant an SNL skit. And if the material isn't even up to those standards, then who the hell green-lit it as a feature?

    The In Crowd
    This is sub-par Aaron Spelling sludge all the way.

    The Closet
    Has a blithe tone and a capable cast, but Veber's script is 100 percent laugh-free.

    Smiling Fish & Goat on Fire
    Strives for folksy charm but ends up just lying there like a plate of kippers.

    Love & Sex
    Love & Sex is nothing but pain and suffering.

    Turn It Up
    A vanity vehicle for the dubious acting talents of Pras.

    Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
    This is nothing more than a bare-assed fart in the face of Smith's fans.

    Molly
    It's a sugar rush that'll leave you feeling like a rotten cavity.

    Saving Silverman
    Black, who is creatively marooned in the thankless Chris Farley fat-boy role, deserve better, and so do we.

    But I'm a Cheerleader
    Limp satire isn't worthy of its good intentions.

    Human Traffic
    So desperate to be rebellious and cool, that it's impossible to see it as anything more than one big case of "been there, done that" -- even if your drugs have already kicked in.

    Glitter
    Take the G out of Glitter and it's litter.

    The Sixth Sense
    The biggest piece of supernatural hooey since estranged wife Demi Moore's "The Seventh Sign."
    • 60 Metascore
    • 20 Kevin Maynard
    Bandits
    This self-consciously kooky road movie about an unusual trio of bank robbers aims for Hal Ashby misanthropy, but hasn't a single emotionally grounded or plausible moment to justify its purely cinematic eccentricities.

    The Astronaut's Wife
    Houston, we have a problem. It's called The Astronaut's Wife and it's an utterly predictable rip-off of classic '60s and '70s exercises in paranoia, from "Rosemary's Baby" to "The Parallax View."

    Knockout
    This grade-Z programmer is a painfully earnest, clichéd, amateurish waste of time.
    • 36 Metascore
    • 34 Kevin Maynard
    Body Shots
    Plays out like a raunchy, substandard WB soap.

    Coyote Ugly
    Plays out like a raunchy episode of "Felicity."

    Malèna
    Giuseppe Tornatore has long been a master of cheap sentiment ("Cinema Paradiso," " The Legend of 1900"), but his latest film is his most shallow, reprehensible exercise in nostalgia to date.

    The Man Who Cried
    The film's a vacuous bore.

    The Body
    This talky, self-important flick is a bore of biblical proportions.

    The Wedding Planner
    The film's greatest flaw is its miscast leads, who conjure up zero dewy-eyed, wish-fulfillment magic.

    Here on Earth
    Offers little in the way of splendor in the grass.

    The Story of Us
    This is a second-rate Woody Allen midlife crisis comedy without the laughs.

    The Gospel According to Philip K. Dick
    Duller-than-a-Vitalife-convention compilation of talking heads.

    Mission to Mars
    As intriguing as the premise sounds, Mission to Mars hasn't a single moment of real suspense.
    • 40 Metascore

    Speedway Junky
    Hard to watch -- not because of its unflinching realism, but rather for its mawkish reliance on every boy hooker flick from "Midnight Cowboy" to "Johns."

    Sweet November
    This is one of those movies in which there are only two types of people: officious yuppie pricks, and the beautiful folks who stop and smell the daisies. What keeps it (barely) from being completely intolerable is Keanu Reeves' hilariously awful lead performance.
