    The 5th Quarter
    In The 5th Quarter, the filmmakers' hearts are in the right place but the execution couldn't be more wrong-headed.

    Diary of a Wimpy Kid 2: Rodrick Rules
    This time, tedium sets in early and never loosens its grip. The gags are obvious, predictable and dull.

    Limitless
    Limitless should be so much smarter than it is.

    Source Code
    The movie boils down to one character, acting under enormous pressures of space and time, racing to solve a mystery. In this case, that may be good enough.

    I Am
    Documentaries have been coming down on humanity so hard in recent years -- from "An Inconvenient Truth" to the latest Oscar winner, "Inside Job" -- that it's refreshing to bask in a bit of optimism coming from a nonfictional film.

    The Lincoln Lawyer
    The film is only "superior" though, not great. The themes feel shopworn and devotee of crime fiction can point to the any number of antecedents for these characters.

    Black Death
    Horror film buffs like to giggle as much as scream but there're no giggles here.

    Mars Needs Moms
    The three most important things in movies are story, story, story so the movie never comes off as the considerable achievement it truly is.

    Beastly
    Rarely do films from Hollywood emerge in such an inane manner. Its rote characters are inevitably in predictable situations with no subtext or subtlety to any of their predicaments.

    Take Me Home Tonight
    Michael Dowse's aggressively unfunny film which seeks the lowest common denominator in nearly every scene.

    The Imperialists Are Still Alive!
    The film is fresh and funny, but it is also meandering, at times vague and defiantly uncommercial.

    Happythankyoumoreplease
    It might even live up to that title: When it ends, you wouldn't mind a bit more, please.

    Skateland
    Skateland is every coming-of-age-after-high-school movie you've ever seen with a formulaic plot and well-worn characters.

    Of Gods and Men
    There are eight individual decisions to be made here, yet Beauvois never humanizes any of his monks. The film instead consumes itself with songs, communal prayers and nightly meals.

    Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son
    Won't likely disappoint fans of men-in-drag comedy but doesn't offer much that's original or funny.

    I Am Number Four
    The movie is a mixed bag, with many of the elements fun and intriguing, but since this is also a Michael Bay-produced movie, CG monsters and cartoon bad guys gum up a third act.

    Vanishing on 7th Street
    Whatever one's view of Christian evangelical beliefs, from strictly a horror-film standpoint the movie needs a better villain.

    Dhobi Ghat (Mumbai Diaries)
    Easily one of the most dynamic cinematic portraits of that decaying, vibrant, impossible city ever made; it treats the city itself as a character.

    The Dilemma
    The Dilemma is so tone deaf to its themes that it thinks it's a light and slightly rude Vince Vaughn movie. It's not.

    Season of the Witch
    Cage supplies energy but no depth in his portrayal of a disillusioned knight. Ditto that for Perlman, who never feels comfortable in the sidekick role so he pretty much goes through the (exaggerated) motions.

    Biutiful
    Biutiful has a strong, linear narrative drive. Nevertheless, and most of all, it's a gorgeous, melancholy tone poem about love, fatherhood and guilt.

    Country Strong
    Feste, who has one previous effort as a writer-director, last year's "The Greatest," fails here to do the most basic thing -- give an audience a rooting interest, or any interest at all, in these four troubled people.
    • 33 Metascore

    Gulliver's Travels
    While not the worst in recent 3D films, Gulliver's Travels is more gimmicky than a crackling good yarn.
    • 55 Metascore

    Love and Other Drugs
    In the end, this is a smart movie that could have been smarter. The script feels like it was a draft or so away from total clarity and focus. But the energy of the cast and a dive into an unfamiliar world make the movie rather addictive.

    Faster
    Stripped for action without a moment wasted on unnecessary dialogue, exposition or nuances.

    Yogi Bear
    Yogi is still smarter than the average bear, but Yogi Bear is much less smart than most of the year's kid-friendly cartoons.

    Tiny Furniture
    How she (Dunham) made her movie is more impressive or at least unique than the actual story she chooses to tell.
    • 88 Metascore

    The King's Speech
    It perhaps started with "The Queen," continued with "Young Victoria" and now achieves the most intimate glimpse inside the royal camp to date with The King's Speech.

    Burlesque
    Women will love this, and men won't mind the eye candy either, so it looks like this Screen Gems release can't help becoming a hit.

    Queen of the Lot
    The film starts out as a gentle Hollywood satire, shifts abruptly into a comedy of (bad) manners, turns into a crime story and deviates into a suicide attempt before it reverts to a Hollywood satire with a happy ending. No Hollywood satire should ever have a happy ending.
