      Ty Burr
    Kiss Me, Guido
    If writer-director Tony Vitale ladles on the cliches with extra sauce, Guido still has a hey-Ma-I'm-makin'-a-movie enthusiasm that's more infectious than it has a right to be.
  2. Shark Tale
    The noisiest laughs in this watery animated comedy are reserved for those who value self-referential winks above all else.
  3. A Love Song for Bobby Long
    A poky dawdle of a Southern-style indie that would pass without notice but for John Travolta and Scarlett Johansson.
  4. To the Arctic
    Filmmaker Greg MacGillivray, a specialist in gigantic-screen nature movies including "The Living Sea," is up to date in his use of 70mm IMAX film, but he's stuck in the past about how to tell a story.
  5. Morgan
    Is Morgan hardwired for violence, or is “she” just a synthetic naïf with a bloody glitch? Taylor-Joy and the rest of the ace cast make you care about the answer to that question. The script? Less so.
  6. Hannah Montana: The Movie
    Cyrus, as always, is a professional charmer (it's hard to resist when she leads a hip-hop hoedown), and the crusty folkiness of Billy Ray Cyrus as her real-life dad is as welcome as ever.
  7. The Strangers
    Bryan Bertino, stages The Strangers' early scenes with spooky panache...But then comes the blood, the shrieking midnight chase scenes, the anything-goes over-the-top-ness. In other words, everything that we liked the movie for not being.
  8. Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief
    Has all the CGI sorcery of a Harry Potter pic, but none of the magic.
  9. Haunted Mansion
    Much like its namesake, Haunted Mansion is an enjoyable, if somewhat sedate experience that is more spooky diversion than thrill ride.
  10. Pink Flamingos
    In Pink Flamingos, Waters did something subversive and, in its gross way, quite spectacular: He created his own hell-bent, sick-joke Oz, with Divine as its wicked-witch queen.
  11. Fun with Dick and Jane
    Wearing a brush cut that never fits the role, Carrey doesn't do a lot here besides flash those vampire-nerd teeth, and I grew weary of seeing them.
  12. Bella
    In stories like this defiantly unsubtle, structurally clunky specimen, causes women who are considering abortion to think again, and self-selecting audiences to enjoy a light, luxurious weep.
  13. Sgt. Bilko
    Bilko is a weightless comic creation, and Steve Martin, perhaps sensing this, drifts through the movie with a misplaced balletic goofiness.
  14. Cote d'Azur
    The performances are mediocre. The heart is big. The weather is swell.
  15. Accepted
    Accepted's winning dumbness and breezy bons mots save it from the pit.
  16. 3 Generations
    Director Gaby Dellal (On a Clear Day) admirably avoids the trap in which transgender characters are portrayed as victims, but she way overcranks the “movie” neuroses of her three characters, muffling any human spark.

    Before the Rains
    This period piece is exactly what you'd expect from a Merchant Ivory production: a tragic tale of love set against a backdrop of opulent scenery.
  18. Josie and the Pussycats
    The movie's got bounce. Spanked along by a soundtrack that has a surprising punky bite for something aimed at 13-year-olds.
  19. What Women Want
    Gibson, in a disarmingly nimble, fast break performance, makes Nick's new hyperempathy look like the essence of virile panache.
  20. Borstal Boy
    A quaint, romanticized rendering.
  21. The Guru
    Bright dialogue and finely embroidered performances adorn The Guru like festive beading on a pair of made-in-India bedroom slippers.
  22. Brother
    Critics tend to fawn over the Japanese director-star Takeshi Kitano (a.k.a. Beat Takeshi), but am I the only one who finds his films impossible to make heads or tails of?
    • 47 Metascore

    When Worlds Collide
    When Worlds Collide is essentially 81 minutes of bad emoting by future TV actors.
  24. Chaplin
    A massive Hollywood biopic about a man who never quite seems there.
  25. La mission
    The warmth comes through, even if the storytelling is simplistic and clichéd.
  26. In the Cut
    Ryan radiates neither desire nor terror. She's freeze-dried in a world of lifelessly abstract feminine fear, and so is the movie.
  27. Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore
    Dumbledore feels like an improvement, at least, on the joyless, enervating slog of 2018's Crimes of Grindelwald; it's nimbler and sweeter and more cohesive in its storyline. And the cast, less trapped in a fug of half-formed symbolism and subplots, are allowed realer and more romantic stakes.
