    Lay the Favorite
    Hollywood celebrities romping around in a candy-colored Alexa-shot criminal underworld, pretty much as a means of passing time.

    Third Person
    If the glue holding Crash's arcs together was Paul Haggis's belief in the power of racism, this time it's love.

    Grudge Match
    It will come as a surprise to none that Grudge Match is so wantonly clichéd that to watch it is to explore the outer perimeters of one's own tolerance for a specific type of feel-good sports film.

    Paranoia
    Robert Luketic's supposedly down-and-dirty corporate espionage thriller undercuts itself at nearly every turn by shunning any potential relevancy.

    Playing It Cool
    As characters endlessly digress on the differences between rom-coms and real life, the film evinces a schizophrenic relationship with its own inside-baseball cynicism.

    Affluenza
    The film is like an episode of Gossip Girl that's mistaken itself for one of the great satires by Evelyn Waugh.

    The Condemned
    It adds up to a methodically bland, intellectually sluggish exercise in guilt-tripping that's nonetheless still more interested in its rich and sexy characters than the supposed unfortunates.

    Jamesy Boy
    The movie adds up to little more than an interminable bildungsroman, sunk early and often by the desperately miscast Spencer Lofranco.

    Hector and the Search for Happiness
    It culminates in a weepy climax that verifies its status as a proud hunk of propaganda from America's massive self-help industry.

    Survivor
    This is the kind of filmmaking that gets touted as "workmanlike" when it's really straight-laced to the point of tepidness.

    Assault on Wall Street
    Uwe Boll's insistence on plugging genre tropes into his imagined idea of populism returns us to the same cynical place as Postal, except with none of the sizzle.

    Left Behind
    Left Behind is one of those films so deeply, fundamentally terrible that it feels unwittingly high-concept.

    Inuk
    The film can boast of an exotic locale and rare potential, but in Mike Magidson's hands the filmmaking is disappointingly shopworn.
