    Like Mike
    A harmless, if ultimately inane, fantasy-comedy vehicle for youngsta-rapper Lil' Bow Wow, a 15-year-old who's already an alarmingly accomplished scene stealer.

    Black Knight
    The lame and apparently tacked-on ending (which seems to crib footage from 2000's "Gladiator"), suggests the rather terrifying prospect of a Roman-era sequel. Five words: Be afraid, be very afraid.

    The Five Senses
    A self-consciously arty ensemble piece that's alternately exploitative, implausible and cliche ridden.

    Hard Ball
    Along the way, director Brian Robbins indulges Reeves in too many laughable inspirational speeches. He also wastes the terrific Diane Lane in the thankless role of the kids' dedicated teacher.

    Crazy/Beautiful
    Numbingly predictable.
    • 37 Metascore

    The Country Bears
    An unintentionally surreal kid's picture.

    The Transporter
    It takes perverse genius to make an action film this stupid.

    Life or Something Like It
    The truth of the matter is that, given the thoroughly manipulative, red-herring plot twists that get her to the happy ending, most audience members will have ceased to care about whether she lives or dies long before the matter is settled onscreen.

    Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron
    Think "The Lion King" redone for horses, with fewer deliberate laughs, more inadvertent ones and stunningly trite songs by Bryan Adams.

    Pokémon: The First Movie - Mewtwo Strikes Back!
    This totally sucks.

    Cotton Mary
    A creepily unpleasant study of race and class.
    • 32 Metascore
    • 20 Steve Simels
    The Sweetest Thing
    It's hard to overstate just how awful this movie is, despite the efforts of the appealing cast.
    • 14 Metascore

    Glitter
    A butt-numbing exercise in tedium, sporadically redeemed by moments of unintentional hilarity.
