  1. A Guy Thing
    Jason Lee seems to have been bitten by a vampire who sucked out all his prickly charisma. You see the promise of stardom dribbling through his fingers.
  2. Catwoman
    I wouldn't call Catwoman incompetent, yet it has no visual grandeur, and very little surprise; you can tick off the story beats as if they'd been graphed.
  3. Thérèse: The Story of Saint Thérèse of Lisieux
    Thérese unfolds with the sunlight-and-daffodils piety of a Sunday school slide show.
  4. Gamer
    As the brutish Kable, Gerard Butler must find out who's pulling his strings, but it's the audience whose chain gets yanked by this headache-inducing techno-violent mishmash.
  5. Wild Hogs
    Nothing about this sputtering midlife-crisis family comedy is natural except the timeless notion that even the most latte-tamed baby boomer has the power to reclaim his inner Iron John. Ray Liotta provides the one true blast of comedic energy as the leader of a real, more pugnacious head-butting gang who tangles with the four amigos.
  6. Transformers: The Last Knight
    Monster metal, mass destruction, Anthony Hopkins saying “dude.” This is your brain on Michael Bay—a cortex scramble so amped on pyro and noise and brawling cyborgs it can only process what’s happening on screen in onomatopoeia: Clang! Pew-pew! Kablooey!
  7. The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things
    Asia Argento is not what I would call a good actress, but she's a prime specimen of train-wreck sexuality: a debauched Eurotrash starlet who oozes punk cred more than she does talent. It's not too hard to see why she wanted to write, direct, and star in The Heart Is Deceitful Above All Things.
  8. Coyote Ugly
    Welcome to the brave new world of slut-chic cosmetic feminism.
  9. The Women
    The movie is a feminist lesson instead of what it should have been (and once was): a tough, synthetic, high-gloss entertainment that wears its heart on its lacquered fingernails.
  10. When a Stranger Calls
    When a Stranger Calls is ba-a-a-a-c-k, in frightless form, updated for the age of anytime minutes and caller ID.
  11. Playing for Keeps
    The central question of the movie becomes: Can George triumph over his inability to stop hot women from throwing themselves at him?
  12. Cool World
    Ralph Bakshi's first feature in nearly a decade would like to be a down-and-dirty "Who Framed Roger Rabbit," but Bakshi isn't up to the task.
  13. The Fog
    Selma Blair, the one vibrant actress in a cast of colorless screamers (including Tom Welling from Smallville and Maggie Grace from Lost), takes Adrienne Barbeau's old role.

    Let's Go to Prison
    Nearly laughless.
  15. Taxi
    An action-choked dud in which even the closing outtakes barely deserve to be left on the cutting-room floor?

    The Musketeer
    Musketeer's fight scenes are underlit, overmiked, and appallingly edited, with none of the spacious grace that even routine Asian action flicks get right. Worse, the narrative scenes make less sense.
  17. Dead Man on Campus
    As a satire of new-style collegiate types, this MTV production actually evinces a few germs of rancid wit.
  18. Norbit
    Murphy speaks in a breathy lisp, as if his mouth had been partially buttoned shut, and he doesn't give himself the nerd's traditional redeeming feature of a geeky, slide-rule intellect. Norbit, all frozen gawk, is just a very dim bulb.
  19. Child's Play 3
    Chucky the plastic slasher proves that his novelty value has long worn off.
  20. Simply Irresistible
    A tuneless variation on the working girl-captivates-Mr. Big formula that has propelled fairy tales as old as Cinderella.
  21. View from the Top
    A romantic comedy with all the confectionary value of one of those watery diet shakes; it practically evaporates while you're watching it.

    The Trumpet of the Swan
    A pox on the man's (E.B. White) memory.
  23. Terminal
    This stylish-but-grating pastiche of far better crime flicks is as soft-boiled as they come.
  24. Little Fockers
    Comedy has changed. Jack can only give his son-in-law the stink eye so many times before the whole "I'm watching you" pantomime gets stale.
  25. Problem Child
    With jokes this lame you won't have to worry as much about your children getting any bad ideas.
  26. Fantastic Four
    In short, this Josh Trank-directed reboot had a very low hurdle to overcome to become the best FF movie so far. The most fantastical aspect of the movie is that it may not achieve that goal.
  27. Twisted
    A pretty lousy movie, which would be offensive were it not safely neutered by its own stupidity.
  28. Little Man
    Tedious.
  29. Because I Said So
    This slapdash, charmless, baldly boomer-chasing romantic comedy, directed by Michael Lehmann (Heathers) from a clunky, orgasm-obsessed script by Karen Leigh Hopkins and Jessie Nelson, is the lazy studio's answer to a call for more age-appropriate entertainment for "More" magazine readers.
  30. War Room
    War Room is a gold-plated piece of Bible thumping that’s resonating with the same audience that watches Jimmy Stewart get touched by an angel every December in "It’s a Wonderful Life" — and cry next to Christmas trees, despite that film’s many hackneyed religious devices.
