  1. The Ladies Man
    One more case of a winning ''SNL'' character tamed by the wan, fizzled farce around him.
  2. Get Carter
    The only fun is in watching Stallone square off against Alan Cumming and Mickey Rourke.
  3. Jurassic Park III
    Has no pretentions to be anything more than a goose-bumpy fantasy theme-park ride for kids, but it's such a routine ride.
    • 40 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Kaena: The Prophecy
    Originally conceived as a videogame, Kaena is now, instead, a creamy-colored yet derivative sci-fi fantasy with a few rip-offs so blatant (''The Empire Strikes Back,'' ''Alien,'' etc.) that even kiddie fans not yet mentally agile enough to make sense of the loopy plot could pick them out.
  5. Solaris
    Soderbergh, in essence, has come up with a plodding and far less psychologically arresting version of ''Ghost.''
  6. X-Men
    When the film version isn't assaulting you with gizmos, it's an awkward, depersonalized piece of hackwork.
  7. Laws of Attraction
    Operates on such outdated, unimaginative conventions of movie chemistry that Moore and Brosnan end up appearing older and stodgier than necessary.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The Myth of Fingerprints
    The first-rate cast is wasted serving up this melodramatic turkey.
  9. The Tigger Movie
    A conflicted entertainment, compromised by trying too hard to impress the restless, self-referential adults in the audience.
    • 52 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The Curse of the Jade Scorpion
    It feels wrong; the entire machinery of the movie seems to be rotating around Woody Allen's vanity. He remains a canny (if, in this case, hollow) film craftsman, but by now we know him far too well to be asked to find him adorable.
    • 39 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    World Traveler
    Crudup is the best navigator a road movie like World Traveler can have, but even he can't single-handedly transport these goods from nowhere to somewhere.
  12. Lucía, Lucía
    Anxiety is a fair response to a midlife crisis, but that hardly means that we want to see the heroine of a movie spend scene after scene trapped in a nervous dither of indecision. That's exactly what happens in Lucia, Lucia.
  13. Love Liza
    Hoffman acts the hell out of the role.
  14. View from the Top
    A romantic comedy with all the confectionary value of one of those watery diet shakes; it practically evaporates while you're watching it.
  15. House of 1000 Corpses
    Isn't coherent, exactly, but what dripping-ghoul horror movie is these days? The new rule is, It's not hip to make sense when you're raising hell.
  16. Taking Lives
    After ''Seven'' and three ''Hannibal'' hits, the audience tolerance for baroque serial-killer flourishes has been duly amped. We require sustained creativity in our sick violence, and Taking Lives, after a token bit of ghastly foreplay, loses its life.
  17. The Fast and the Furious
    Works hard to be exciting, but the movie scarcely lives up to its title. It could have used a bit of a fuel injection itself.
  18. I Still Know What You Did Last Summer
    Lacks even the good, guilty setup of "I Know What You Did Last Summer" -- the sense that the heroes are fleeing the consequences of their own crime.
  19. Lilo & Stitch
    The animation in Lilo & Stitch has an engaging retro-simple vivacity, and it's nice to see a movie for tots make use of Elvis Presley, but the story is witless and oddly defanged.
  20. Lara Croft: Tomb Raider
    This is just cut-rate, generic daughter of Indy Jones hokum.
  21. The General's Daughter
    The plot is a nonsensical mess -- which just caps off the ugliness.
  22. Brother Bear
    Mark it: Phil Collins officially has nothing more to teach us. The tunes he's composed for Brother Bear are so generic, they're modular.
    • 38 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    The Other Side of Heaven
    Slick, fact-based, missionary-themed drama.
  24. Con Air
    It's so shameless, so psychotically nervous about keeping you ''thrilled,'' that the phrase over the top won't do it justice. It's like a drug designed for people who've done every drug and now want to be jet-propelled into numbness.
  25. The Good Girl
    Only pretends to care about good people who sometimes do bad things. In fact, it hasn't got time for the pain.
  26. The Rainmaker
    Any random episode of Law & Order would be more sophisticated than this heavy-handed, moralistic Southern-lawyer corn pone, directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
  27. Win a Date with Tad Hamilton!
    May find an audience, but I found it to be a leftover John Hughes triangle.
  28. Drowning Mona
    The actors more eager to goof around in schlumpfy costumes on a low-budget lark than to play their trashy characters with the seriousness such farce requires.
  29. Intolerable Cruelty
    With Intolerable Cruelty, though, something scares me: I cannot detect a heartbeat of feeling, no matter how close I press a stethoscope against the star machinery of George Clooney and Catherine Zeta-Jones.
  30. Coyote Ugly
    Welcome to the brave new world of slut-chic cosmetic feminism.
