  1. Snow Dogs
    The vocal canines appear for about 30 humorous seconds, in a dream sequence, and are then never seen again. Unfortunately, the same can't be said about the rest of the film, which runs an additional 98.5 excruciating minutes.
  2. I Am Sam
    The film is so busy that every minute is exhausting. It's as if the filmmakers were idealistic teen-agers afflicted with a group case of Attention Deficit Disorder.
  3. Stigmata
    Busy, over-stylized mess of a movie.

    Return to the Blue Lagoon
    The movie is occasionally cutesy. That's the worst of it. You can't call it gross, but it is cutesy.
  5. Ghost Ship
    Ghost Ship would have been so much better if they'd just let the ship do more of the acting.

  6. Airborne
    Anyway, the movie turns out to be hyperslick, quite well made in the technical sense (beautifully photographed and designed) and somewhat shallow, another exploration of that perennial and passionate teen theme, fitting in.
  7. Pokémon: The Movie 2000
    Will keep kids happy and parents mildly entertained.
  8. The Ugly Truth
    But The Ugly Truth can't escape its own ugly truth, that the central characters are written to extremes both ludicrous and tiring.
  9. Deck the Halls
    There isn't an earned moment of uplift or laughter in the movie. Everything in it is prefab.
  10. Pokémon Heroes
    Brimming with values that should serve its young audience well: altruism, friendship, self-sacrifice, responsibility.
  11. Head Over Heels
    When the women are onscreen and their relationship is on display, Head Over Heels trips merrily along. But every time the focus shifts to Prinze, the film suffers from a bad case of fallen arches.

  12. The Perfect Man
    This movie makes it official: No matter how awful, even the networks and basic cable are now officially hipper than the studios.
  13. The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas
    A tired piece of hackery, made only slightly less distasteful by a couple of inspired moments from supporting player Alan Cumming.
    • Baltimore Sun
  14. Garfield
    Garfield the comic strip stopped being funny about 10 years ago. Garfield the Movie makes it to about the 10-minute mark before tedium sets in.
  15. Are We There Yet?
    Will have most audiences asking, "Can we leave now?"
  16. Crossroads
    Go see Crossroads if you want to hear Britney sing or see her wear next-to-nothing. But otherwise, avoid this train wreck at all costs.
    • Baltimore Sun
  17. The Majestic
    The indisputably gifted Jim Carrey shows the side of him that just wants to be loved - the Riddler on Ritalin, the Mask unmasked. And it turns out to be stultifying.
  18. Catwoman
    Catwoman is a mess, there's really no other way to describe it... It doesn't work as high art, and it's too ponderous to be truly high camp. As a fashion shoot for the pin-up crowd, however, it's the cat's meow.
  19. Wild Hogs
    Wild Hogs puts the "ick" into City Slickers.
  20. Coyote Ugly
    Doesn't display a single deep thought, or even a middlingly profound one.
    • Baltimore Sun
  21. The Women
    This Women doesn't take place in reality or even in a glamorous urban fantasyland. It's strictly TV Land.
  22. Cool World
    It never seriously establishes the ground rules of the principle of transference or the relationship between the two of them, and so what follows is gibberish. [14 Jul 1992]
    • Baltimore Sun
  23. Taxi
    Taxi's only saving grace is an inexplicable, though delightful, turn by Ann-Margret as Andy's ever-tipsy mom. She's a stitch, and about 100 times better than her surrounding material.
  24. Norbit
    Now we get a lazy Eddie in Norbit, a lackluster attempt to make a gross-out romantic comedy. When I say lazy Eddie, I mean imaginatively lazy.
  25. Twisted
    Twisted is an unusual forensic crime film because it's witty and sophisticated as well as taut and creepy.
  26. Little Man
    At least "White Chicks" had a point behind the humor.
  27. Because I Said So
    Watching this movie, with Diane Keaton cast as the ne plus ultra of irritating, overbearing mothers, is roughly the equivalent of listening to fingernails on a chalkboard for nearly two hours.
  28. Van Wilder
    A very funny movie ... in some alternate universe, maybe.
    • Baltimore Sun
  29. Basic Instinct 2
    It's turned Stone's Catherine Tramell from a warning sign for the dangers of wanton sex into the last thing you'd figure - a bore.
  30. Supercross
    The most amazing fact about Supercross is that it took three people to write it. Two chimpanzees with a typewriter could have done just as good a job.
