  1. The Dilemma
    The dilemma of The Dilemma is that the conundrum at the center of the story isn't particularly hilarious.
  2. Gringo
    While the fish-out-of-water caper is stuffed with whiplash turns and colorfully eccentric lowlife characters, it never adds up to much. It’s so busy you might think there’s more to it than they’re really is.
  3. Wonder Wheel
    It’s undercooked even by the filmmaker’s own late-career standards. Yes, Coney Island has never looked more gorgeously golden-hued (thanks to cinematographer Vittorio Storaro), but Allen has seldom been less sharp.
  4. Now You See Me 2
    Jon M. Chu (several Step Up movies) has taken over directing duties from Louis Leterrier, and he has a lighter, goofier touch. He seems to get that the silliness is baked in.
  5. Miss Julie
    Figgis never frees the play enough from the stage to fill the screen.
  6. Dr. Dolittle
    Director Betty Thomas demonstrates her expertise at keeping indulgence at bay in even the coarsest of comic situations.
  7. Payback
    Payback is a thriller so mean and degraded it carries a low-down, vicious charge. Sadism is its only real subject, and its only real life as well.
  8. Red Tails
    As long as it stays in the air, Red Tails is a compelling sky-war pageant of a movie. On the ground, it's a far shakier experience: dutiful and prosaic, with thinly scripted episodes that don't add up to a satisfying story.
  9. The Broken Tower
    It’s a pensive and heartfelt movie, assuming that you let yourself get caught up in its moody-minimalist, more-visual-than-verbal style.
  10. Agnes and His Brothers
    Writer-director Oskar Roehler spends all his energy on cataloging ''outrageous'' behavior, and none on giving the transgressions any meaning.
  11. Clay Pigeons
    It's young-Hollywood-driven business as usual in this derivative, nasty, and ultimately empty drama.
  12. Deliver Us from Eva
    Union, who looks so chic and can talk so bitchy-funny, doesn't so much establish a character as roll out a series of attitudes. That's all she's called on to do. That's all anyone is called on to do: Be very tame, and make much ado about zilch.
  13. The Nanny Diaries
    For a light comedy, The Nanny Diaries turns out to have an off-putting theme. It glorifies the romance of slumming.
  14. Reservation Road
    There's a kind of tough beauty to this deft, satisfying thriller.
  15. Picture Perfect
    Another contemporary story about a woman with a successful career punished with a lousy personal life.
  16. Dr. Seuss' The Lorax
    The movie is like a less original "WALL•E," but it's still vibrant and touching.
  17. The Super Mario Bros. Movie
    It's all quite fun, with a good sense of humor and a consistent computer-animated aesthetic — plus, at 90 minutes including credits, it's short, sweet, and over before anything can get annoying.
  18. The Oranges
    What starts off as a neighborhood scandal becomes a liberating thing for everyone involved - an attitude that seems as if it's trying to be oh so European, and might have been had the director, Julian Farino, not been working so hard to convince us of the Deep Inner Goodness of everyone involved.
  19. Toy Soldiers
    It’s Dead Poets Society meets Die Hard. The movie is competent, smoothly photographed, and pretty much free of false, baby-Rambo heroics. It’s so inoffensive that you can almost overlook its central drawback — that the students don’t have much personality.
  20. Seed of Chucky
    By far, the most shocking carnage is Tilly carving up her persona. What a doll.
  21. We Are Your Friends
    The film fakes emotion with flashing lights and a pulsing soundtrack, and before Cole realizes the music was in him this entire time (ugh), the story falls flat
  22. Ashby
    Rourke, whose face has become an inexpressive waxwork in recent years, doesn’t do much with what’s already a pretty undercooked role.
  23. Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close
    A polarizing load of quirkiness in Extremely Loud gunks up (at least for this hometown mourner; your results may vary) what is at heart a piercing story.
  24. Immortals
    What saves Immortals as a moviegoing experience is the exuberant, kid-in-a-candy-store virtuosity of its director, former music-video wunderkind Tarsem Singh (The Cell).
  25. Extinction
    Director Miguel Ángel Vivas tries to add a family-drama twist to an otherwise standard survival story, but the characters aren’t complex enough (and the secrets aren’t explosive enough) to elevate this beyond a basic zombie flick.
  26. Tank Girl
    Petty, though, is the only reason to see this coy and scrappy comic-book adventure-a trash bin of sci-fi detritus.
  27. Mirror Mirror
    A dull and unbewitching movie.
  28. Breakin' All the Rules
    The rules of good screenwriting are mostly broken, though Jamie Foxx's smash-and-grab charisma remains intact.
  29. 28 Days
    Bullock gives it her all; she's bristling and alive on screen in a way that she hasn't been since ''Speed.''
  30. Beyond the Sea
    Weirdly moving.
