  1. While the film may justify its title in terms of the viscera on display, it is badly in need of a funny bone.
  2. A far-below-par thriller that desperately wishes it were a different movie - a longing it shares with the audience.
  3. Darkness Falls is like something salvaged from Stephen King's wastebasket.
  4. Not one female character escapes mockery or patronizing.
  5. When Seagal's undercover FBI agent Sascha Petrosevitch waddles into the big house wearing a do-rag and a billowing blue jumpsuit, it's the funniest jailhouse-flick scene since Gene Wilder's white-boy strut in ''Stir Crazy.''
  6. You know all that artistic cred Adam Sandler built up with his acclaimed work in ''Punch-Drunk Love''? Well, he flushes it down the crapper with Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights -- the most ill-conceived animated comedy since the 1991 dog ''Rover Dangerfield.''

    What starts off as a potentially charming fantasy never finds its footing.
  7. Unless you’re Kevin Smith, don’t expect Yoga Hosers to be funny or clever or well directed. It isn’t for you.
  8. Rancid, misogynist comedy.
  9. An intermittently fun, but overexcited and predictable mish-mash.
  10. In The Bounty Hunter, the couple that foils a bunch of tiresome grade-C thriller goons together stays together. Whether or not that's a recipe for love, it's certainly not a formula for romantic-comedy magic.
  11. The plot threads can be a little hard to follow, especially since most of them revolve around two unseen characters who are dead before the story even begins, but Sandler and Spade’s partnership gives the whole enterprise enough emotional grounding to make up for it.
  12. This nadir of equal-opportunity raunch forces viewers to spend time with a needy yeast-infested adult who doesn't know how to go on a date with a man; her grating, neurotic monster of a best friend; and a third, random younger chick, who's crazy-upset about some tedious thing that happened with her boyfriend.
  13. Lawrence's gender-bending jokes are played out, and his slapstick is wooden and slow.
  14. This may be the first talking-animal movie in which the critter hero seems to have been body-snatched by a commentator from C-SPAN.
  15. One more case of a winning ''SNL'' character tamed by the wan, fizzled farce around him.
  16. In one rotten production -- all involved have managed to create the most unlikable, man hating, woman hating, unfunny idiots since ''Whipped'' ended up on worst movie lists last year.
  17. Enjoyable only if you're under the age of 7 -- or the influence of psychedelic drugs.

    Twice as many accidental laughs as scares.
  18. Twelve ogles the lost boys and girls as they make their mistakes. But unlike the novel, the movie never really gets inside these kids, who aren't in the least all right.
  19. New Year's Eve is dunderheaded kitsch, but it's the kind of marzipan movie that can sweetly soak up a holiday evening.
  20. This underworld fairy tale is so soggy and sentimental it's like a new genre: Hallmark noir.
  21. You will still be astonished by how flat-out awful it is.
  22. A ho-hum series of kills and lulls so predictable that it doesn't even look like much fun for the sharks; when they open wide, they might as well be yawning.
  23. About as arousing as an icy shower.
  24. Reeves is a stiff dancer and he delivers his lines in a full leather jacket monotone.
  25. In its hostile sitcom way, Christmas With the Kranks is a paranoid comic nightmare of conformity gone mad.
  26. The result apes "The Bourne Identity" so slavishly yet so boringly it winds up with no identity at all.
  27. It will have you groaning between yawns.
  28. Few comedies have worked this hard to make everyone on screen look this dumb.
