  1. Seven Pounds
    An unintentionally ludicrous drama of repentance.

    • 50 Critic Score
    Airport '77
    Silly as it is (c’mon, helium balloons?), Airport ’77 is the most suspenseful of the series, with death looming over a planeload of Oscar winners, each trying to out-ham the others before their oxygen runs out.
  3. Three to Tango
    I didn't think Matthew Perry could find a romantic comedy more inert or inane than the 1997 fiasco ''Fools Rush In.''
  4. The Adventures of Rocky & Bullwinkle
    The problem with the movie isn't that it sells out Rocky and Bullwinkle -- it's that it can't keep up with them.
  5. Poolhall Junkies
    Plays out like a variation on an old design dictum: If you can't make it good, make it big.
  6. Steal This Movie
    Scrappy and rambling and overly earnest.
  7. Little Black Book
    The big climax isn't climactic, just hysterical and incoherent. Murphy, with her bug-eyed, love-me mugging, is simply too slight and gawky to play the Everygirl.
  8. He's All That
    It might be just as well that Padgett is not given a real emotional arc, nor anything resembling an internal life. Even when little is asked of her, Rae's acting is not up to the challenge.
  9. Rebound
    The whole thing feels like a half-day of community service, which Lawrence walks through good-naturedly.
  10. After.Life
    Requires Neeson to stare coldly and talk to corpses, but Ricci has the greater dramatic challenge: She has to operate, unfazed, in close-up nakedness much of the time.
  11. Color of Night
    A deliriously brain-dead erotic thriller...The patients (played by, among others, Lesley Ann Warren and Brad Dourif) are all nutjob cliches.
    • 36 Metascore
    • 58 Critic Score
    Tooth Fairy
    British comic Stephen Merchant (Extras), exudes an easier charm as a goofy fairyland caseworker who harbors big dreams of his own.
  13. Æon Flux
    Theron is an arresting image, but, like everything else in Aeon Flux, she's stranded in a trashy and derivative glum zone of fashion-runway fascism.
  14. Arthur
    The new Arthur is a feathery screwball satire, competent on its own terms, yet as the movie went on I found it increasingly hard to separate the character's self-indulgence from that of the actor playing him.
  15. Against the Ropes
    For all I know, Ryan's performance could be a dead-on Kallen impression. But what she appears to be doing is an impression of Johnny Depp doing an impression of Keith Richards doing an impression of Liz Taylor.
  16. Bird on a Wire
    Bird on a Wire is far from inept-every one of those car chases is masterfully staged. Still, for most of two hours you’re pummeled with formula; it would be hard to name another movie at once so proficient and so dull. When a director as talented as Badham reaches this state of empty craftsmanship, who can say whether he’s working out of boredom or cynicism? At this point, there may be very little difference.
  17. Biker Boyz
    A blatant re-spin of ''The Fast and the Furious'' that also happens to be a far better movie.
  18. Abandon
    Sometimes, typecasting works: Holmes and Bratt settle comfortably into their roles, and the movie proves a competently made, mildly diverting collegiate thriller -- at least until its all-too-predictable ''twist'' ending.
  19. Inspector Gadget
    The image of this kitchen-magician dream robot comes at us in little jolts and spasms that have the zappy, self-contained rhythm of a fast-food tie-in commercial.
  20. Returner
    With his tousled mane and wispy facial hair, Asian pop star/ Prada model Kaneshiro suggests a Japanese Johnny Depp, but even his charisma can't carry Returner through its interminable longueurs. Blame it on Yamazaki.
  21. Jeepers Creepers II
    Writer-director Victor Salva squanders all of his original movie's not-entirely-awfulness and bumbles into the realm of unintentional comedy.
  22. A Man Apart
    Sour, sadistic, and stale from sitting on the shelf since the pre-''XXX'' era -- an era I'm starting to miss.
    • 36 Metascore
    • 67 Critic Score
    War
    There are few cinematic crimes more heinous than making a boring action movie. Sadly, that's what the first hour of Triads-versus-Yakuza thriller War is.
  24. The Eye
    It's as if, on the umpteenth Asian-horror Xerox, the ink has run dry.
  25. Under the Cherry Moon
    It’s really Prince who’s the ingenue here. He engages in much mock-effeminate vamping, scampers around the French Riviera in outfits that would have humbled Liberace, and grants himself the most melodramatic death scene since Camille.
  26. Employee of the Month
    The results in Employee of the Month are toothless.
  27. Sherlock Gnomes
    Sherlock Gnomes doesn’t quite have the originality and spark to make it a pop-culture phenomenon. Yet it’s still an enjoyable family adventure with a solid message.
    • 36 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Phat Girlz
    Jazmin's so fat that the movie reduces her to a single discernible characteristic, which is a telltale mark of many a wholly awful comedy.
  29. The Canyons
    Schrader tries to find the human side of it all, and he scores with Lohan, who taps a vulnerability beneath her dissolution to remind you why she's still a movie star.
  30. Space Jam: A New Legacy
    Algorithmically speaking, it's no slam dunk.
