  1. Whipped
    A crass, witless knockoff of better films.
    • Boston Globe
  2. Titanic Town
    Mother's peace crusade ennobles Irish Town.
  3. Dark Days
    Engrossing and eye-opening in several respects and even, when you least expect it, humorous.
    • Boston Globe
  4. God's Army
    In its zeal to counter the negativity usually found in depictions of Mormons, God's Army eventually succumbs to overearnestness, sentimentality, and cliche.

    • 52 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Orfeu
    A heady, sometimes blurry combination of fable, legend, and social-political commentary.
    • Boston Globe
  6. Smiling Fish & Goat on Fire
    The sweetly enticing Smiling Fish and Goat on Fire repays the bit of patience it asks.
    • Boston Globe
  7. The Crew
    Dogged allegiance to blandness.
    • Boston Globe
  8. Solomon & Gaenor
    It takes us nowhere we haven't been before, except geographically.
  9. Love & Sex
    Brightly sidesteps the cliches that cling to the genre like barnacles and reinvents a lot of the old moves.
  10. Bring It On
    She's (Dunst) the big reason the film rises above instantly rejectable formula to campy pop.
    • Boston Globe
  11. Place Vendôme
    It's rare that a crime movie achieves such emotional complexity, but this one is smartly layered.
    • Boston Globe
  12. The Cell
    Many of the film's images will prove more than some viewers can take.
    • Boston Globe
  13. Godzilla 2000
    A ton of fun, and then some.
    • Boston Globe
  14. Steal This Movie
    An earnest but ultimately scattered effort to put Yippie radical Abbie Hoffman's best foot posthumously forward.
  15. The Original Kings of Comedy
    Not only exhilarating and cathartic. It's too funny to be ignored.
  16. The Opportunists
    Goes soft in the end, but not ruinously so. Meanwhile, its loose cannons bounce off one another deliciously.
  17. An Affair of Love
    A bit of a cop-out, wrapping in wistful sentimentality a failure to acknowledge a connection that is more than epidermal.
    • Boston Globe
  18. Autumn in New York
    It is all style and no substance.
    • Boston Globe
  19. Bless the Child
    Causes one to wish... that movies about the supernatural could make contact with supernatural script doctors.
    • Boston Globe
  20. Cecil B. DeMented
    It's the cinematic equivalent of one of those prop guns where you pull the trigger and a little flag comes out of the barrel, waving gaily.
    • Boston Globe
  21. The Replacements
    Any ESPN commercial at all leaves it in the dust when it comes to imaginative firepower.
  22. The Tao of Steve
    One of the year's most winning performances, Logue's Dex will grow on you as he stumbles toward emotional fullness.
  23. The Tic Code
    Reveals real feelings.
  24. Saving Grace
    It's funny and charming most of the time, thanks to Brenda Blethyn.
  25. Psycho Beach Party
    A little Hitchcock and some good Psycho fun at the beach.
  26. Coyote Ugly
    Such an utter piece of fluff so conceptually barren it might as well be a music video.
    • Boston Globe
  27. Hollow Man
    Should have been an inaudible man movie. Every time the characters open their mouths, they hammer it deeper into the ground.
    • Boston Globe
  28. Space Cowboys
    Space Cowboys does achieve liftoff.
  29. Catfish in Black Bean Sauce
    As engaging as it is ungainly and scattered.
    • Boston Globe
  30. Nutty Professor II: The Klumps
    There's a whole lotta latex goin' on. The trouble is that not enough else is going on.
