  1. In theory, A Thousand Words should draw on its star's abilities as a physical comedian, but Murphy, miming his order for a triple latte at Starbucks, comes off like Charlie Chaplin on crystal meth; he's strenuously unfunny to watch.
  2. A few wild, third-act twists give Perry's middling melodrama some soap-opera kick. But all the finger-wagging sure does get tiring after a while.
  3. The film is so eager to please, so relentlessly quippy and quirky and tipped with antic whimsy, it often feels like visiting a zoo built into a Tilt-A-Whirl.
  4. When martial arts star Michelle Yeoh shows up as a pious, butt-kicking nun, you have to wonder if Kassovitz isn't accidentally cribbing from Mel Brooks, too.
  5. Torturously whimsical gumshoe caper.

    Lie down with dogs like Look Who’s Talking Now! and you’ll end up with fleas.
  6. The Choice feels like Mad Libs with some of Sparks’ laziest clichés — a romantic rowboat, a colorful small-town carnival, a jealous upper-class boyfriend — and the result is a predictable, recycled mess.
  7. Vincente Amorim weaves each short together with lots of sweeping panoramas of the city, and the end result feels less like a collection of love stories and more like a bland tourism ad.

    It offers neither the tension of a good plane-disaster movie nor the ingenuity of a smart time-travel tale.
  8. One of those desultory F/X and no script potboilers that seems to restart itself with every new scene.
  9. Studded with Lampoon/John Hughes anachronisms.
  10. There's an intriguing premise buried in there that could have resulted in a smart look inside the mind of a malignant narcissist (which, the movie reminds us over and over again, was Jeffrey Dahmer's diagnosis too).
  11. Basic Instinct 2 isn't bad, exactly, but it lacks the entertaining vulgarity of the first film; it's Basic Instinct redone with more ''class'' and less thrust.
  12. Oooh, this is toxic.
  13. Dour, absurdist, gruesomely awful.
  14. In a feat of dullness quite powerful in its own way, this lifeless family comedy sucks the joy from every joke it touches.
  15. The lame-o aspects of the whole campy setup are still lame-o.
  16. An indistinct romantic-dramedy-ish something or other about the rekindled romance of an actress (Rachel Bilson) and her childhood best friend (Tom Sturridge).
  17. Amusingly, Supercross puts up a fierce anticorporate front, lauding the self-financed ''privateer'' over the ''factory'' cyclist. If this is a joke, few will get it.
  18. The film is consistently fun, and Tucker's comeuppance ? will leave you gasping (if not gagging) with laughter.

    It's nearly unwatchable, a farrago of confusing direction, stupid plot coincidences, and banal dialogue.
  19. Stone's latest penance is Gloria, the Sidney Lumet-directed dud that sprung from the singularly bad idea of remaking John Cassavetes' oddball 1980 character study. I mean, really, did anyone even like the original?
  20. The movie is short on wisdom, but it might have gotten by if it had had better filth.
  21. It's a testament to Neeson's startling charisma as an action star that for all its storytelling flaws, large swaths of Taken 3 remain wildly entertaining.
  22. Dinesh D'Souza's documentary is no mere screed: 2016: Obama's America is a nonsensically unsubstantiated act of character assassination.
  23. Basically a nifty VFX reel in search of a plot.
