  1. Bobby
    Bobby coasts along on a dread, and sorrow, it doesn't earn.
  2. Deja Vu
    Déjà Vu is watchable trash, meticulously edited in Scott's skip-stutter style, but there's something ultimately unsatisfying about a thriller that more or less makes up its rules as it goes along.
    • 43 Metascore

    Unaccompanied Minors
    Feig does wring out a few fleeting fun/heartfelt moments from the minors, and the movie's Christmas treacle is smoother than "Santa Clause 3's." But anyone old enough to go see this without a parent or guardian will have seen it all before.
  4. Breaking and Entering
    However admirably Minghella urges a break from complacency and an entry into a state of local/global compassion, his characters are position holders rather than people.
  5. Night at the Museum
    What a dull, nice movie, wrenched from a wild premise and battered into docility.
  6. We Are Marshall
    We Are Marshall has little of the bone-crunchingsincerity of the recent pigskin rouser "Invincible." This one is more like Unconvincing.
  7. Stomp the Yard
    The shallow frat-on-frat rivalry and the poor-boy-loves-rich-girl subplot don't mean a thing. But the stepping does got that swing.
  8. Blood and Chocolate
    Werewolves are tame with overuse, and movies like Blood and Chocolate -- where moments of inspiration vie in vain with Goth cliché -- play like underlit "Charmed" reruns.
  9. The Situation
    An overstuffed, unengaging drama that makes time for a love triangle.
    • 74 Metascore

    Bridge to Terabithia
    The movie -- which never decides if it's a fantasy or coming-of-age story -- spends a lot of time away from Terabithia; that also leaches out the wonder. The boy seems more excited that Zooey Deschanel is his hottie music teacher than he is to see tree men in the forest.
    • 65 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Amazing Grace
    It's earnest, solemn stuff. The movie sings an old tune -- Albert Finney is the blind minister who wrote the title ditty -- and it leaves the blood unstirred.
    • 32 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    The Hills Have Eyes II
    A retro horror-comedy featuring quick deaths and cheapo-looking gore, with a few dorky laughs and gross-outs but not so many scares.
    • 41 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    TMNT
    This all-CG reboot is missing the goofy excitement of the old TMNT.
  14. Slow Burn
    A strange, sprained, but sprightly fusion of "The Usual Suspects" and the "Tragic Mulatto," Slow Burn wants badly to turn its standard neo-noir into a nuanced racial chiaroscuro.
  15. Georgia Rule
    A clunky family-therapy soaper.
  16. Brooklyn Rules
    The boys-in-the-Italian-hood clichés were penned by "Sopranos" scribe Terence Winter, so they have snap, if not freshness.
  17. Nancy Drew
    The culprit, I'd say, is the uninteresting casting of Miss Roberts in the title role. She's a pleasant enough performer, but her made-for-teen-TV acting style, a perky blandness, doesn't supply a clue as to the appeal of Nancy Drew after all these years.
  18. Evan Almighty
    The message is so good-hearted, so inarguable, so dull.
  19. Evening
    For all the creaminess of the sets and costumes, every character talks as if she is still made out of written words, not flesh, and each woman's struggles feel about as important as a tea dance.
  20. Time
    Time, Kim Ki-Duk's pointed commentary on surfaces and consumer fads -- with particular meaning for plastic-surgery-obsessed South Korea -- is as tautly ''pretty'' and inexpressive as the results for those who compulsively seek cosmetic perfection.
  21. No Reservations
    It's fun to see the glamorous actress turn down her movie-star flame, but it's a pity she's stuck with so many trite gestures on Kate's journey to fulfillment.
  22. Charlie Bartlett
    Robert Downey Jr. is an uncomfortable sight as the school's hard-drinking, overstressed principal.
    • 43 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Hot Rod
    Wait until the best parts pop up on YouTube.
  24. Rush Hour 3
    It's a jerry-built kick-ass insult machine assembled entirely out of secondhand parts.
  25. The Signal
    Mostly comes down to rage fiends going at one another with baseball bats, knives, pesticide tanks, and power drills.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Illegal Tender
    For a second, the movie has the snap of a truly surprising thriller -- like a Hispanic "Kill Bill" -- about an aging lioness willing to kill to protect her cub.
  27. Delirious
    It would be nice to see a sharp, funny, penetrating satire of the new, kicked-up culture of empty media fame, but Tom DiCillo's scattershot buddy movie Delirious isn't it.
  28. The Brothers Solomon
    The sheer, animal idiocy beaming from their faces in the opening credits of The Brothers Solomon creates the film's only moment of uncalculated comic joy.
    • 41 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Mr. Woodcock
    Uninspired, sure, but sporadically, spasmodically funny.
  30. The Brave One
    Everything about Foster's ocular intensity is riveting, but little in this hushed vigilante drama makes sense.
