  1. September Dawn
    The audience gets the message (religious fanaticism: bad), but nothing we see is convincing on its own.
  2. Case 39
    An aggressively inept demon-seed chiller starring a bunch of grown-ups who should've known better.
  3. The Million Dollar Hotel
    If any of these characters were half as resonant as Wenders appears to think they are, the film might have seemed charming instead of merely stranded.
  4. Here on Earth
    Love means never having to say you're recycling plot material.
  5. The One
    It's hardly much of a thrill to see The One recycle, on a lower budget, the slo-mo bullet dodges from "The Matrix," along with unspectacular variations on several other of that film's time-bending demolition-ballet effects.
  6. Bad Johnson
    The jokes are flaccid, the acting is stiff, and the whole idea is such a boner, you have to wonder if the writer was missing another critical organ when he came up with it.
  7. The Benchwarmers
    This morphing of "The Bad News Bears" and a "Three Stooges" episode parades its dumbness with such zip that it almost passes for clever.
  8. Georgia Rule
    A clunky family-therapy soaper.
  9. License to Wed
    The creepy-faced robot twin babies are funny (for a while); the rest of the film is not. It's like "Meet the Parents" with Dr. Phil as the officiant from hell.

    American Outlaws
    Bogusly wholesome six-gun dud.
  11. Drowning Mona
    The actors more eager to goof around in schlumpfy costumes on a low-budget lark than to play their trashy characters with the seriousness such farce requires.

    The Comebacks
    Probably the worst movie that's sludged across my professional eyeballs -- worse than "Daddy Day Camp," "Baby Geniuses 2," and "BloodRayne."
  13. Sorority Boys
    There are moments of real funniness in this smarter-than-anticipated goof-fest.

    Death Wish V: The Face of Death
    An appropriately absurd finale for a series that long ago went over the top.
  15. Legends of Oz: Dorothy's Return
    There's barely a trace of the magic of 1939's "The Wizard of Oz"; the bricks are still yellow, but the road doesn't lead anywhere special.
  16. Spy Hard
    I'm happy to report, though, that even a dud like Spy Hard can't completely douse the stumbling Zen charm of Leslie Nielsen, whose genius is that he never quite sheds the illusion that he isn't in on the joke.
  17. Moms' Night Out
    It's a shame that this glossy production doesn't seem to realize it's actually promoting an altogether different message: when moms dare to leave the house, everything goes wrong.
  18. Drop Dead Fred
    As the naughty ghost pal of Phoebe Cates, an obnoxious British actor named Rik Mayall is like Michael Keaton’s Beetlejuice without the juice. In Drop Dead Fred, all he does is smash and spill things and say many, many potty words.

    The Next Best Thing
    (Madonna is) clearly full of good intentions; too bad she's lacking discernible emotions.
  20. A Cinderella Story
    When not unnecessarily bland, synthetic, and indistinguishable from undistinguished teen TV, A Cinderella Story is unnecessarily coarse and dumbed down, with every character except Sam and Austin subject to perfunctory ridicule.
  21. When in Rome
    Sounds mildly fun, be forwarned: When in Rome doesn't even offer that.
  22. Stealing Harvard
    It doesn't help that most of the jokes (like a rip-off of ''There's Something About Mary'''s dog-in-the-crotch bit) are themselves stolen.
  23. R.I.P.D.
    While he's (Bridges) having more fun than anyone in the audience is likely to be having, it's such a rip-snorting go-for-broke performance that it almost makes R.I.P.D. worth the price of admission. Almost.
  24. Obsessed
    Obsessed has little plausibility, but at moments it's an entertaining bad movie, and the performers are vivid.
  25. Modigliani
    The lushness of a Modigliani is largely absent from Modigliani.
  26. Venom
    A mud-simple horror trudge set in a swamp colony of Abercrombie models.
  27. Boxing Helena
    Soft-core trash with a tent-show hook.
  28. My Soul to Take
    Wes Craven's first new movie in five years is a brainless, joyless, and yes, you might even say, soulless teen slasher.
  29. Jason X
    It will come as no surprise that the movie isn't scary. But here's the real damn: It isn't funny, either.
  30. Dragonfly
    Preposterous-for-no-good-reason supernatural tale.
