  1. Viewers will never be molly-fied by this tripe.
  2. A black comedy in the form of vicarious serial punishment.
  3. As an expat redneck, I recognize the deep, dumb need of every group for its own culturally customized minstrel show. Larry, a junker ''star'' vehicle run on arse wind and fan love, fills that niche.
  4. This cinematic stiff should have stayed buried.
  5. The animation already looks dated, and it feels as lazy as the bland narrative.
  6. The Zodiac has been made with the dunderheaded flatness of bad '70s TV.
  7. Lacks even the good, guilty setup of "I Know What You Did Last Summer" -- the sense that the heroes are fleeing the consequences of their own crime.
  8. Everything old is old again in this rickety extension of 2002's already rickety "Van Wilder."
  9. 8MM
    The whole movie turns into a violent, pointless, torture-or-be-tortured chase.
  10. In the end, even Foxx is drowned out by the parade of one-note supporting characters.

    A disastrous disaster movie that is actually quite low on the disasters to its own detriment.
  11. Dirty Grandpa feels like spending 100-plus minutes with a scatalogical toddler, proudly showing you what he made in his diaper. Don’t look if you don’t have to.
  12. The steady drip-drip-drip of nothings like this are killing us all.
  13. The picture is so lethargic that I began to think of watching it as a form of atonement.
  14. Freddie Prinze Jr. has a look in his eye that is equal parts self-infatuation and boyish flash of fear.
  15. Excellent performers are wasted, especially the criminally underutilized Mandy Patinkin and Annette Bening, both of whom appear in just bit parts. With far too much confidence but nothing to say, Life Itself lives up to the college-freshman affectedness of its own title.

    A movie based on a doll line, is an M&M-colored high school fantasia for aspirational 10- and 12-year-old girls who'll be shocked (or, hopefully, delighted) when they get to ninth grade and find out life isn't so super-Bratz-fabulous.
  16. The endless, numbing sameness of it all.

    The effects are laughably primitive, the dialogue hilariously atrocious -- and those are the good parts.
  17. This is a high octane ride that starts to leak gas before it even gets going.
  18. A huge pile of horsefeathers is being peddled as fairy dust in Bigger Than the Sky.
  19. Each actor appears to have received the script to a different movie, while Allen adds his own directorial touch of sexual vulgarity.
  20. A loony attack on wacko liberalism and a ding-dong defense of wacko conservatism.
  21. The race for the worst film of 2015 is officially on.
  22. A painfully miscast Parker nervously flips her hair and waves her hands, sitcom-style, as a do-gooding dean of students.
  23. The movie can't be saved from its own vices of manic pacing and tediously pro forma pop culture jokes.
  24. It appears to have been modeled on the worst revenge-of-the-nerds clichés the filmmakers could dredge up.
  25. If the result features around 1,783 too many fart gags, to be fair, it also boasts a couple of genuine minor scares. Although there's no doubt that the film's most horrible sight is a way-too-long shot of Swardson's naked rump.

    The production values have become so horror-movie shoddy that Saw V has more in common with kitsch like "Friday the 13th Part V" than the original "Saw."
  26. Regardless of your personal views, Expelled's heavy-handed bias (a visit to Darwin's home gets the same eerie music as a tour of Dachau) is exasperating.
