  1. Fireflies in the Garden
    The resentments acted out at the dining table by the rest of this miserable family - gathered for a graduation celebration that turns into a wake - are so oppressive that Eugene O'Neill might ask, ''Too much?''
  2. Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed
    There's nothing overtly better or worse about this sequel. But the ''kids'' look to be pushing 30 now -- an awkward age for theme-park performers.

    Doom
    By hewing close to James Cameron's "Aliens" playbook, Doom manages to escape the game-to-movie curse that afflicted "Resident Evil," "House of the Dead," and, well, every other movie based on a game.
  4. The Smurfs 2
    The trouble with this stunted sequel is that the doughy, blobby-hatted Smurfs are mostly window dressing for an abrasive slapstick bash built around a tiresome kidnap plot, pancake-flat gags about Facebook and ''Smurf-holm Syndrome,'' and Neil Patrick Harris mugging his way through the role of a daddy with daddy issues who once again helps out our heroes.
  5. Alice Through the Looking Glass
    For better or worse, Looking Glass loses none of the first film’s muchness, with Bobin mimicking both his predecessor’s wildly saturated style and his general disregard for plot and substance.
  6. Jingle All the Way
    For all its garishness, though, the film is punchy and fast, and it has an engagingly preposterous cheeseball climax, with Schwarzenegger, in full Turbo Man regalia, zooming through the skies like a consumer-king Rocketeer.
  7. Men at Work
    Bottom-of-the-garbage-barrel comedy.
  8. The Fourth Kind
    Too often, The Fourth Kind makes the paranormal look disappointingly normal.
  9. Stolen
    It's a toss-up as to what's the worse sin in this graceless piece of tragedy porn.
  10. Baggage Claim
    Paula Patton is such a terrific actress that even in the ultra-tacky romantic comedy Baggage Claim, she gives a luminous, thought-out performance, not just walking through but digging into the role of an eager, nervous doormat with a people-pleasing grin.
  11. End of Days
    Frequently silly, yet eminently more watchable than such leaden Schwarzenegger efforts as ''Eraser.''

    Cheaper by the Dozen 2
    What you have is less a sequel to a not-so-bad remake than yet another remake, this one of that not-so-great 1988 John Candy comedy "The Great Outdoors."
  13. Lake Placid
    Instead of rooting for Pullman and Fonda, we end up praying that the crocodile is hungry enough to put them out of their misery.
  14. Texas Chainsaw Massacre
    A remake could have been fun if it had been made with vision, or at least an appreciation of the original. If that's grade-A beef, call this one a rancid veggie burger.
  15. Ninja Assassin
    Let's be honest, killing is this film's business...and business is good.
  16. Isn't She Great
    As bumbling and mindless, as naively misconceived, as that clapping-through-tears moniker.
  17. Chelsea Walls
    The ethos of the Chelsea Hotel may shape Hawke's artistic aspirations, but he hasn't yet coordinated his own DV poetry with the Beat he hears in his soul.
  18. Basic
    Another depressingly empty action thriller.
  19. Even Money
    An overstructured, overacted indie drama about gambling, addiction, and the sawdusty romanticism of old-time magicians.
  20. Excess Baggage
    What Emily doesn't do, though -- what this slow-moving, sour, sloppily assembled teen drama doesn't allow her to do -- is make her predicament of any emotional interest.
  21. Dead Silence
    Terrified of puppets? Enjoy being scared? Then you'll be half-satisfied with Dead Silence, a rote horror pantomime.
  22. Big Momma's House 2
    House 2 may never elicit more than mild chuckles, but when Momma teaches the Fullers a few lessons about family, it's heartfelt without being syrupy.
  23. Spawn
    Spawn doesn't make a lot of sense, but the imagery whooshes by in glitzy psychedelic torrents.
  24. 10,000 BC
    Neither grand enough to be impressive nor antic enough to be charming, the movie settles for bland and frantic, climaxing in a showdown among decadent pyramid builders. How bad are these guys? They're sadists...and, wink wink, sissies.
  25. Zoolander 2
    Zoolander No. 2 is embarrassing, lazy, and aggressively unfunny. The only good news is that at the pace the franchise is moving, we won’t get Zoolander 3 until 2030.
  26. Valentine's Day
    How you feel about Valentine's Day may depend on how you feel when someone really, really cute -- and someone you're really, really fond of -- gives you a nasty box of cheap chocolate on Valentine's Day, picked up at the corner Rite Aid and delivered with the price tag still attached.
  27. Snow Day
    Even Snow Day's winter wonderland looks fake.
  28. All About the Benjamins
    Something puddles to nothing in this relentless Miami sun.
  29. Ice Age: Collision Course
    The Ice Age series was never great cinema, but there’s always been a sense of heart under all the wisecracks and zany antics. Collision Course abandons that in favor of already stale pop culture references and laughless jokes.
  30. The Real Cancun
    It's just a camcorder soap opera of packaged hormonal fervor -- ''The Real World'' with extra tequila body shots.
