  1. My Favorite Martian
    Flubber was more edifying than My Favorite Martian — and more fun.
  2. Air America
    The movie has no script, and even the better gags - like one in which a couple of the pilots scribble away at coloring books in the backseat of a plane - could have been staged more vividly.

    State Property 2
    State Property 2 is no more three-dimensional than your average brand-name-laden hip-hop video.

    Son of the Pink Panther
    Son of the Pink Panther isn’t an unwatchable mess like 1982’s Curse of the Pink Panther; it trots along quickly with series veterans like Herbert Lom adding needed class. But there’s a void at the center of this film about Inspector Clouseau’s long-lost son, and its name is Roberto Benigni. Where Peter Sellers’ Clouseau had a blissfully out-of-it officiousness, the Italian comedian’s sole shtick is to beam idiotically. He’s that ruinous oxymoron: an unsurprising clown.
  5. Chill Factor
    God-awful?Gooding screams out lines like ''I'm about to get in yo' ass like last year's underwear!''
  6. Free the Nipple
    Sound titillating? It's not.
  7. Gulliver's Travels
    Strips the source material down to its recognizable parts and then builds something completely new out of them. Unfortunately, the result is entirely Lilliputian in ambition, even for a children's movie.

    Awake
    Too bad, because until it essentially turns into a medical-thriller version of "Look Who's Talking," the movie hums along comfortably enough as slick B fare.
  9. On Deadly Ground
    What is there to do but laugh in self-defense at such pompous self-regard when blood gushes, fuses pop, and Seagal scowls in a series of snappy, embroidered buckskin jackets?
  10. Sucker Punch
    The music screeches, the actors vamp, the knives and weapons and bombs and fireballs fly around the screen. Meanwhile, the well-prepared moviegoer slips into her or his own private fantasy of a world in which movie effects are themselves locked away in an institution for the criminally insane until such time as those effects are really, truly necessary for the story.
  11. There Be Dragons
    Florid, convoluted historical drama.
  12. Love Happens
    No authentic emotion of any kind happens in this damp, Seattle-based romance, a fizzle for both stars.
  13. Catch That Kid
    ''Kid'' seeks to ''empower'' its target audience of recent Pokémon grads with an adult antihero desperation that feels preemptive and inappropriate.
  14. The Space Between Us
    The Space Between Us attempts to take young love to literally new heights before crash-landing into an earthbound hash of schmaltzy clichés and romantic absurdities.
  15. North
    North is structured like a black-comic Wizard of Oz, but by the time North awakens from his dream, even home doesn’t seem like a place worth visiting.
  16. RV
    As Williams ricochets between playing submissive soft-drink executive tethered to the whims of a hysterical boss and pathetic dad at the wheel, trying to cajole his family into vacation satisfaction, we can be excused for getting carsick.
  17. The Last Song
    And here's the revelation: Miley Cyrus is a really interesting movie star in the making, with an intriguing echo-of-foghorn speaking voice, and a scuffed-up tomboyish physicality (in the Kristen Stewart mode) that sets her apart from daintier girls in her celebrity class.
  18. The Young Messiah
    As this year’s other Jesus movies go, at least Risen managed to add new characters and perspective to one of the world’s most well-known stories. The Young Messiah struggles to hold its audience’s attention.
  19. Annie
    Aside from an unintentional homage to "Zoolander" that is so tone-deaf it'll make you guffaw, Annie goes out of its way to make viewing it a hard-knock life...for us.
  20. The Amityville Horror
    Extraordinarily faithful to the spirit of that creaky, derivative, fly-infested, don't-go-in-the-attic boofest.
  21. Superhero Movie
    Seems to have been given the comedy equivalent of blood thinner. It has the blazing satirical boldness to skewer the first Tobey Maguire Spider-Man -- and, amazingly, not much else.
  22. Original Sin
    Aspires to blasphemy but achieves only banality.
  23. Uptown Girls
    Unlike in ''Freaky Friday,'' no magic spells are involved. Nor is there any of ''Freaky'''s marvelous charm in this ungainly Manhattan fairy tale, directed by indulgent sentimentalist Boaz Yakin.
  24. The Battle of Shaker Heights
    Best to experience Shaker Heights for what it is: not a movie, exactly, but the true season capper of ''Project Greenlight,'' a series that finds its very drama on the road to mediocrity.
  25. Impostor
    The entire movie has the meaninglessly burnished, sunglasses-at-midnight glow of an early-'90s car commercial -- a visual scheme guaranteed to leave the audience squinting between yawns.
  26. Mindhunters
    What does satisfy is the pleasantly becalming presence of "Deep" costar LL Cool J. He's fast becoming Liv Ullmann to Harlin's Bergman.
  27. Son in Law
    In ”Son-In-Law,” Pauly Shore is like MTV’s missing Marx Brother; call him Sleazo. For once, he makes being utterly shameless seem halfway likable.
  28. Fifty Shades Darker
    Darker is strangely plotless and devoid of any real tension.
  29. Just Go with It
    A bummer - slack rather than loose, tired rather than fun.
  30. Hanging Up
    There is not one honest moment, not ONE, in Hanging Up.
