  1. Anywhere But Here
    What's missing from this by-the-numbers drama is a sense of abandon.

    Just Visiting
    Forgoes the destructo silliness of the original in favor of one too many bland self help subplots.
  3. Stolen Summer
    The entertainment gods have cast mixed blessings on Stolen Summer. Let Pete Jones pray.
  4. In Too Deep
    A weakly scripted shambles.

    Just Looking
    The pacing is lumpy, the acting's all over the map.
    • 69 Metascore

    Little Voice
    The movie adaptation suffers the symptoms of so many stage-to-screen transplants: What seemed thrillingly big and bold in live performance comes across shrunken and hemmed in when "opened up" to fill a feature film.
  7. Sidewalks of New York
    It's a veritable Greek chorus of wry therapeutic chatter, the touchy-feely pensées skittering over the stock dualities of adultery and fidelity, lust and devotion, narcissism and intimacy, blah, blah, blah.
    • 61 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    The Best Man
    It's a tribute to the actors' appeal that they can sling this hash and keep our sympathies, but they can't squeeze much drama from pure soap.
  9. Return to Never Land
    There's always something to look at (an octopus holding his eyeballs aloft, the petulant Jane assaulted by pixie dust), but the story is weak tea.

    Shuang long hui
    Chan hams it up throughout -- to little avail -- but the final brawl should please fans of his balletic action sequences, that is, if they can endure the full hour of silliness before it.
  11. Piglet's Big Movie
    A collection of shorts, here presented as flashbacks. All three derive from A.A. Milne's original tales, but retain only a smidgen of his droll, easy-chair wit.
  12. Winter Sleepers
    It's slow and pretentious, full of craggy Bavarian snowscapes and dour "mystical" portents that seem to circle back to nothing but themselves.
  13. Scarlet Diva
    Has a voyeuristic tug, but all in all it's a lot less sensational than it wants to be.
  14. Murder by Numbers
    Even though Bullock engages in a climactic scene of blue-screen peril, she essentially cedes the match to the kids. In this mediocre murder case, their presence is the only thing that's really killer.
  15. Return to Me
    Hunt is so vibrant that the movie suffers when she's not around.
  16. Dark Days
    More noteworthy for its intentions than its execution.
  17. Love's Labour's Lost
    Too many moments of evident labor weigh this clever production down. To quote the playwright: ''Your wit's too hot, it speeds too fast, 'twill tire.''
  18. The Opportunists
    Skillfully made, yet the film would have been better if it had tapped a bit of that Walken madness.
  19. Pie in the Sky: The Brigid Berlin Story
    Turns out to be the portrait of a serial yo-yo dieter, an impression enhanced by the 60 year old Berlin, who suggests less a former depraved scenester than a calorie compulsive Martha Stewart grown bored with good taste.
  20. East Is East
    A movie in which the easy socio-racial paradoxes have been diagrammed with more care than the relationships
  21. Brown Sugar
    As a love-jones soap opera, Brown Sugar feeds right into Dre's nostalgic crankiness.
  22. The Four Feathers
    It may be an accidental historical parallel that, at times, we seem to be watching a 19th-century version of ''The John Walker Lindh Story,'' but the fluke is only enhanced by the weird anonymity of Ledger's performance.
  23. The Five Senses
    Our senses may be the stuff of drama, but not when they're treated as nice and neat as this.
  24. Big Bad Love
    Howard luxuriates in writerly misery as Barlow, and the participation of the filmmaker's real-life wife, Debra Winger, as Barlow's ex gives the scenes between the two of them an unfakeable erotic charge.
  25. The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas
    With no headliners to raise hopes, this negligible entertainment has its own boneheaded charms.
  26. Miss Julie
    Figgis never frees the play enough from the stage to fill the screen.
  27. Play It to the Bone
    A boxing film with no conflictual punch.
  28. The Astronaut's Wife
    Nothing but mood... it simply has too few surprises to justify its indulgent atmosphere of malignant revelation.
  29. The Event
    Aggressively drab and granular, the movie feels like a late-'80s AIDS passion play given an ill-fitting post-Sept. 11 makeover.
  30. Gigantic (A Tale of Two Johns)
    A unintentionally funny fanzine-flavored documentary.
