    The Mod Squad
    A sketchy, half-baked, stylistically inconsistent movie that scarcely even pretends to care whether it makes sense or not.

    The Omega Code
    Proof positive that heavy underground buzz doesn't necessarily imply merit or even intrinsic interest.

    A Night at the Roxbury
    What is love? Haddaway asks in the omnipresent soundtrack song. Not this time-wasting bilge, that's for sure.

    Juwanna Mann
    This is one that, like a 1am rerun of a late-season Cavs-Grizzlies matchup, deserves to play out in darkness and obscurity.

    The Wash
    Next time, Pooh, why not do the work it takes and give your drowsy-eyed meal tickets some of the (as it were) good shit?

    Material Girls
    Mainly offers fodder for tweens who fantasize about glamorous Los Angeles lifestyles where everyone is skinny, rich, and on Prozac. It's a film where gays and minorities not only fit into stereotypes, but embrace them.

    Gummo
    Now I realize my confessed appreciation for Kids will thoroughly bugger my credibility in describing Gummo with phrases like “appalling,” “gratuitously cruel,” and “exploitative,” but the unmitigated repulsiveness of this film pretty much rules out all subtler options.

    McHale's Navy
    No originality, no memorable characters, no comic timing, and no good jokes equal no fun for the audience.
