  1. Monsters vs Aliens
    Will pop your eyes without tickling your funny bone.
  2. Duets
    Giamatti provides those small moments of triumph that Duets pretends to celebrate but instead stifles with its sense of superiority.

  3. Hearts in Atlantis
    It's not hell, but limbo, junior high-school style.
  4. The Story of Us
    Never makes the Jordans' tribulations feel like anything more than yuppie angst.
  5. The Last Castle
    It's a mishmash of "The Bridge on the River Kwai," "From Here to Eternity" and "The Great Escape," with everything complex and entertaining siphoned off.
  6. What a Girl Wants
    Movie lite, a clueless, formulaic paint-by-numbers comedy.
  7. A Knight's Tale
    The result is as flat as a year-old beer commercial.
  8. House of D
    All the characters are writ in broad strokes, making it impossible to sympathize with, much less relate to, anyone.
  9. Hard Ball
    As shallow and manipulative a movie as any that come to mind.

  10. Loser
    A listless, disjointed collegiate opposites-attract comedy.
  11. Biker Boyz
    However you pronounce Bythewood -- I assume it's by-the-wood -- his work here is strictly by the numbers.
  12. Formula 51
    It has graceful layers and folds and a nice swing to it, and Jackson moves superbly in it. Unfortunately, I'm talking about the kilt, not the movie.
  13. Meet the Fockers
    Meet the Fockers? Avoid them would be a better suggestion.
  14. September Dawn
    A ham-fisted cautionary tale of religious fanaticism that would have been hooted out of even 19th-century theaters as melodrama of the most lurid kind.
  15. Fred Claus
    Is there anything more pathetic than a movie that will do anything for a laugh or a tear that doesn't get any laughs or tears?
  16. I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry
    Formulaic 'Chuck & Larry' is a crass, unfulfilling effort.
  17. Death Sentence
    The movie has nothing to offer except titillation.
  18. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
    A movie made at wits' end. There are four or five authentic laughs in the whole 170-minute extravaganza.
  19. Derailed
    Was the Swedish director, Mikael Hafstrom, taking revenge on the American star system?
  20. Flyboys
    Forget any hope of raffish adventure if you think of seeing Flyboys.
  21. Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
    The second movie, Dead Man's Chest, is everything you feared the first would be: a theme-park spectacle lasting 2 1/2 hours.
  22. The Condemned
    A catastrophically messy action-movie mash-up.
  23. She's the Man
    The surefire laugh-getter centers on using a tampon to stop a nosebleed. Watching this movie, I had to hope it could stop brain-drain.
  24. The Celestine Prophecy
    It's hard, bordering on impossible, to evaluate this movie without stepping on people's beliefs.
  25. The Ex
    By the end, it doesn't even have the courage of its political incorrectness.
  26. 10,000 BC
    It's as if all the digital tools of new millennial filmmaking fell into the hands of men who had less storytelling sense than a campfire bard or a cave painter.
  27. Doom
    The latest failed Hollywood attempt to make a movie from a video game.
  28. The Loss of Sexual Innocence
    The Loss of Sexual Innocence is belabored, pretentious and often willfully opaque. [25 Jun 1999]
    • Baltimore Sun
  29. Little Man
    At least "White Chicks" had a point behind the humor.
  30. Lady in the Water
    If you're not a fan of M. Night Shyamalan's convoluted, teasing thrillers, you'll find that getting into this movie is like cracking a puzzle in which the constructor keeps breaking his own rules or grabbing new ones from ultra-thin air.
