  1. The Hangover Part II
    Here, as in "The Hangover," the laughs aren't just staged, they're superlatively engineered.
  2. Hot Summer Nights
    Bynum shoots it all in high pop-pastiche style, with a near-constant barrage of neon freeze frames, slow-pan party shots, and romantic montages set to an eclectic, decade-spanning soundtrack (Tarzan Boy, David Bowie, Roxette, Suicide).
  3. The Game Plan
    Having tamed one muscled man-child (Vin Diesel in The Pacifier), Disney sets its sights on The Rock. He preens winningly in The Game Plan.
  4. Along Came Polly
    Along Came Polly is nothing if not a chick flick for guys.
  5. Mary Reilly
    The film's chief novelty turns out to be its drab ''literary'' approach to horror.
  6. The Ring Two
    The scariest thing in the not-scary-enough The Ring Two is the notion that even smart, attractive adults - yikes, even mothers - just never learn, either.
  7. The Caveman's Valentine
    There is pleasure in giving oneself up to the gusty swirls of the film's imagery, and especially to the handsome grandeur of its star.
  8. Smiling Fish & Goat on Fire
    This sunny ode to brotherhood, made on a tiny budget, goes a fair distance on good vibes.
  9. What Dreams May Come
    So diaphanous it practically dissolves as you watch it.
  10. American Cannibal: The Road to Reality
    The writers act shocked at how low they are stooping, but given their desire to write sitcoms, you have to wonder.

    Barney's Great Adventure
    Barney’s Great Adventure is insipid, but it’s also harmless, and, besides, why shouldn’t toddlers enjoy the pleasures of their own kitsch?
  12. Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice
    I get that this mano a supermano story line is a sacred text among comic-book aficionados, but Dawn of Justice doesn’t do the tale any favors. It’s overstuffed, confusing, and seriously crippled by Eisenberg’s over-the-top performance.
  13. This Is Where I Leave You
    All of which leaves you wondering: Why cast such talented, interesting, and edgy performers if you're only going to ask them play it safe?
  14. Chandni Chowk to China
    It all makes you want to see a Bollywood movie, all right -- a good one.
  15. The Answer Man
    Daniels plays Arlen with a kind of cuddly crankiness; he makes him a jerk who just needs a hug.
  16. Connie and Carla
    The surprise -- and intermittent delight -- of Connie and Carla is the way that it taps into the everybody-is-a-star passion of the new sing-along culture.
  17. The Village
    It gives nothing of the plot away to say that there's a fine line between an ''Aha!'' and an ''Oh, brother!'' Whether you feel The Village crosses that line may hinge on whether you think Shyamalan's screenwriting ability is beginning to lag behind his skill as a director.
  18. Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason
    A triumph of performance, production, and adaptation over the empty-calorie dither of its source material.
  19. The Prophecy
    The Prophecy is an occult freakshow so inert it seems to have been pasted together out of stock footage.
  20. Mortal Kombat
    Fatalities are the closest we get to the fun of playing a Mortal Kombat game, but future adapters would be better off realizing that video games are art precisely because of their unique gameplay, and not because of the silly lore that stitches cutscenes together.
  21. The Bronze
    The Bronze has a loony Napoleon Dynamite–meets–Talladega Nights-on-the-balance-beam charm. Hope may be a giant jackass, but she’s America’s jackass.

    Bloodshot
    It’s a lot of bog-standard action stuff glommed onto a deeper metaphysical muddle; Inception drawn in extra-thick Sharpie and testosterone. If the whole thing is ultimately a shell for Diesel to do what he does, the ending also takes care to sing in the key of sequel too: Come fast cars, Avatars, and farther galaxies, there will be blood, again.
  23. Jobs
    The ironic thrust of the movie is that Jobs' humanity is there in that perfectionistic insanity. He pushes and pushes to make home computers more and more appealing, accessible, and user-friendly, and that's his great gift to the world.
  24. The Libertine
    The Libertine is such a torturous mess that it winds up doing something I hadn't thought possible: It renders Johnny Depp charmless.
  25. The Losers
    Basically, it's "The A-Team" meets "Rambo" meets "Mission: Impossible," with a mission that's one part trickiness, four parts blowing stuff up.
  26. Southland Tales
    Southland Tales has a mood unlike anything I've seen: dread that morphs into kitsch and then back again. It's a film that tried my patience, and one I couldn't shake off.
  27. Devil
    A pocket-size supernatural thriller that plays a bit like Agatha Christie's "Ten Little Indians" retold by an unstable Sunday School teacher.
  28. Life Happens
    It's a trifle, but at least it doesn't star Katherine Heigl.
    • 44 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Schizopolis
    When it works, it's the best film of the year. When it doesn't, take cover.
  30. Snow Falling on Cedars
    Exceedingly blurred rendering of a simply told, artful novel.
