  1. Groundhog Day
    The funniest moments in Groundhog Day come when Phil takes sneaky advantage of his predicament-by, say, pumping a sexy woman in the local coffee shop for facts about her past and then, ''the next day,'' using the information to lure her into bed. What the movie lacks is the ingenious, lapidary comic structure that could have made these moments fuse into something tricky and wild.
  2. Die, Mommie, Die!
    Busch, looking like a depressed Stockard Channing, throws his tantrums with breathy ''aristocratic'' hauteur. Yet the movie winds up walking a line between put-on pastiche and kitsch passion, and Jason Priestley is perfect as a brooding lunkhead of Tab Hunter gigolo-osity.
  3. What a Girl Wants
    In her sassy but scrubbed way, Bynes is a real charmer, and What a Girl Wants is a likable throwaway.
  4. Buena Vista Social Club
    What the film leaves unexplained is how this joyous musical outpouring, which predated the revolution, could fare under a system with a pathological distrust of beauty.

    Ronin
    It's not just the crack stunt driving that makes Ronin such a welcome throwback; it's also the existential hardness of this thriller's motley band of mercenaries.
  6. The Siege
    It's a cautionary tale about the excesses of jingoist paranoia, and the folly of it all is that the more the film descends into somber liberal chest thumping, the less engrossing it becomes.
  7. Star Trek: Nemesis
    A little bit obsessed with replication.
    • 71 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    A Walk on the Moon
    The tone of this tale is more easy-listening than acid rock.
    • 44 Metascore

    Brokedown Palace
    It's strangely enjoyable to see her(Danes) and Beckinsale busted on a bogus heroin-smuggling rap and thrown in the slammer with bad 'dos and no makeup.
  10. Cherish
    Disoriented but occasionally disarming saga packed with moments out of an ''Alice in Wonderland'' adventure, a stalker thriller, and a condensed season of TV's ''Big Brother.''
  11. American Pie 2
    Even though they're now college dudes, fulfillment for fellas is still predicated on copping a feel and downing a brewski.
  12. Teacher's Pet
    The somewhat rococo songs and earthy pop-art animation tread a very fine line between heady and headachy.
  13. The Fifth Element
    The future-shock details are witty, the sets and skyscapes spectacular. Besson may not be a good director, exactly, but he's a wizard at retrofitting cliches.
  14. One True Thing
    In the end, One True Thing suggests, families can be healed even in loss. This may not be a true thing, but at least this emotional drama offers up hope, sweet like one of Kate Gulden's tasty cakes.
  15. U.S. Marshals
    Efficient, uninspired sequel.
  16. To Die For
    The film's most memorable performance is also its most incongruous: As Jimmy, the teen sap who falls hard for Suzanne, Joaquin Phoenix is dead-eyed yet touchingly vulnerable -- a mush-mouthed angel.
  17. Kissing Jessica Stein
    All too content to be a comedy of surfaces and stereotypes. And because, for all the novelty of the bisexual romantic angle, there's something about Jessica, her New York-singleton ticks and her Jewish-family tocks, that feels...old.
  18. Hearts in Atlantis
    Too poky and contrived to be a good movie, but its lushly serene atmospherics, given current events, make it a pure slice of sentimental comfort food.
  19. Son of the Bride
    Has an appealing modesty, but director Juan José Campanella works so hard to keep everything soft and winsome and charming that he cushions the understatement into blandness.
  20. The Bone Collector
    A skeleton-thin thriller wrapped in glamorous production values.
  21. The Mummy
    There is much to look at--it's like spending two hours in Michael Jackson's Undead Neverland--but not a lot at stake.
  22. Rock Star
    This movie is as packed with flashy bogusness as a lead singer's tight leather trousers. On the other hand, there's nothing bogus about the charisma and tough sweetness of Wahlberg.
  23. Intact
    Somewhere in this broody ''Twilight Zone''-ish story about magical thinking (and the lure, to filmmakers, of garish casino culture) is a provocative and maybe even shocking thought on the Holocaust as a crapshoot.
  24. I Know What You Did Last Summer
    The story has more holes than the bodies do, but the shocks are efficient, and Party of Five's Jennifer Love Hewitt knows how to scream with soul.
  25. G.I. Jane
    Were women put on earth to be warriors? Demi Moore certainly was. The role of Jordan fits her as snugly as a new layer of muscle.
  26. Songcatcher
    There are mountain tunes as powerful as moonshine to be enjoyed in Songcatcher -- but there's also a mighty mushy heap of corn pone to be swallowed.
  27. Cats & Dogs
    The plot and script sag like worn out chew toys just when Cats & Dogs should be in full squeak.
  28. He Loves Me... He Loves Me Not
    The fact that it's difficult to believe someone who looks as dewy as Tautou would be so dangerous is much of the game.
  29. The Legend of 1900
    It's usually a good idea to avoid anything billed as ''a fable,'' but The Legend of 1900 offers almost enough merits to warrant an exception
  30. Kate & Leopold
    It's no myth: All play and no work makes Jackman, as Leopold, a doll of a boyfriend.
