  1. My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2
    The winking ethnic jokes weren’t all that revolutionary in the first film, and this time around, they feel even more stale.

    Freddy vs. Jason
    So can Freddy beat up Jason, or what? Let's just say that neither one would have stood a chance against Abbott and Costello.
  3. Be Cool
    The hell of it is, Be Cool is tepid entertainment that could be cool if it spent less time entertaining us as if we were demanding a definition of rhythm.

    Resident Evil: Afterlife
    Afterlife is slow-moving but relentless, and judging from a post-credits teaser that promises yet another sequel, it has an unquenchable appetite for your brain cells.
  5. Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer
    The lesson is that fun can't be planned, but the film is so airless (think iCarly as a videogame) that there isn't a truly playful moment in it.
  6. Son of God
    At best, this version succeeds as a Sunday school supplement. But the blandness is enough to make you long for Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ."
  7. Serenity
    It wants to be trashy, pulpy fun that toys with your mind and your expectations. Sadly, it just ends up insulting both.
  8. The Tourist
    The Tourist isn't a debacle, but it's a caper that's fatally low on carbonation.
  9. Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles
    The punchlines are as tired as Hogan looks.
  10. Riding the Bullet
    Falls short of its source.
  11. What's the Worst That Could Happen?
    Maybe the worst thing that can happen is that every other movie at the multiplex will be sold out this weekend.
  12. Domino
    The movie is trash shot to look like art imitating trash.
  13. xXx: State of the Union
    This is a B movie rooted in gut-level stirrings of power and retaliation.
  14. Wrath of the Titans
    For a movie like Wrath of the Titans, which is basically "Gladiator" crossed with "Lord of the Rings" crossed with a special-effects demo reel (call it Lord of the Rinky-Dink), he's (Worthington) the perfect actor.
  15. The Lone Ranger
    The action climax just goes on and on, making The Lone Ranger the sort of movie that delivers too much too late and still manages to make it feel like too little.
  16. Evan Almighty
    The message is so good-hearted, so inarguable, so dull.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    Waist Deep
    Curtis Hall keeps slipping in surprising social and emotional flavorings rarely found in the genre.
  18. Charlie St. Cloud
    The surreal thing is, Zac Efron can't do despair.
  19. Annabelle
    For a superior experience, go buy a disturbing-looking doll that says ''Don't go see Annabelle'' when you pull its string.
  20. Miracle at St. Anna
    Miracle isn't powerful, it's muddled and diffuse.
  21. Bad Company
    Joel Schumacher directs with far less fetishism than he might have, while producer Jerry Bruckheimer kicks up only a fraction of the bull dust usually visible in his projects.
  22. The Crew
    Each man's shtick swells into a frenzy of overacting.
  23. Love Don't Cost a Thing
    You realize you're watching a snuff film, where the victim isn't just teen innocence but teen romance.
  24. I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry
    Myself, I felt victimized by the stereotype shtick of reliably grating Rob Schneider as a Canadian-Japanese wedding-chapel minister from SNL castoff hell. But maybe that's just because this movie encourages sensitivity by hitting everyone over the head with its humor hammer.
  25. The United States of Leland
    The United States of Leland is tedious yet infuriating, since its characters, all of whom seem to have emerged from a screenwriter's manual, are like exhibits in a thesis meant to indict the middle class for the crime of its collective dysfunction.
  26. Spy Kids: All the Time in the World
    The fourth installment of Robert Rodriguez's franchise that keeps adding dimensions even as it loses charm would have been better titled "Spy Kids: All the Time Puns in the World."
  27. Night of the Lepus
    Some may call Night of the Lepus plain ridiculous, but I say any movie that features mutant bunnies being shot, blowtorched, and electrocuted makes for a hopping good time.
  28. The Other Woman
    Opportunities for bad behavior abound in Waldman's novel - the author's prerogative. Roos, though, hasn't cracked the puzzle of how to explore that behavior on screen in such a way that the characters behave badly in interesting, rather than arbitrary, ways.
  29. Are You Here
    In Mad Men mastermind Matthew Weiner's big-screen directorial debut, the aggressively unfunny Are You Here, all of the dark humor and delicate character shadings we're used to seeing on his TV series are conspicuously absent. He's swapped nuance for blunt-edged numskullery.
  30. All the King's Men
    Writer-director Steven Zaillian's version stultifies, especially when compared with Robert Rossen's fiery 1949 Oscar winner. How could such dullness defeat the retelling, when Willie Stark is one of the most vivid characters in 20th-century American popular culture?
