    The Quiet
    The desperation TV stars must feel to be on the big screen is the only explanation for Edie Falco and Elisha Cuthbert's appearance in The Quiet, a creepy family drama that reeks of pretentiousness.

    Happily N'Ever After
    The best that can be said of this charmless animated picture is that whether or not it ends happily -- an outcome you're unlikely to give a hoot about -- it does, happily, end.

    Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector
    This so-called comedy is so not funny, it makes "Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo" look like Chaplin.

    Bratz
    While often cliche ridden and preposterous, it's too busy and loud to put anyone to sleep.

    Hush
    Lange seems at a loss to know how to convey Martha's malevolence -- and writer-director Jonathan Darby offers almost no guidance.

    A lame pastiche of Hollywood romances.
