  1. Airborne
    But the movie itself, despite a pretty funny scene early on in which Mitchell, a dyed-in-the-wool California surfer, tries to ingratiate himself to a class full of urban Cincinnati kids, is dull and conventional. Nice stunts, though. [21 Sept 1993, p.E6]
    • Miami Herald
  2. Immigration Tango
    This excruciatingly dumb, formulaic picture, which somehow required the work of four screenwriters but contains not even one single, fleeting moment of wit or humor.
  3. Ernest Rides Again
    Does anyone openly admit to enjoying these things? Small kids may find Ernest's slapstick antics mildly amusing, but even the most fervent Ernest fan (if there is such a thing) will grow tired and annoyed very quickly here. [12 Nov 1993, p.E4]
    • Miami Herald
  4. The Ugly Truth
    The Ugly Truth is insulting to women, men and even goldfish.
  5. Deck the Halls
    Unfortunately, this dimwit concept barely has enough spark to power a single strand of Christmas lights, much less rival the classic-by-comparison "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" in side-splitting Yuletide snafus.
  6. Amityville 3-D
    The film is even slower and less engaging than is standard for its undistinguished genre. [22 Nov 1983, p.B5]

  7. Head Over Heels
    It really is terrible the way films are being marketed to teens. They deserve decent movies, but instead they get glop like Head Over Heels. There ought to be a law.

  8. The Perfect Man
    Embarrassingly shoddy film.
  9. Sweet November
    The enigma of Reeves, sort of a human black hole on screen, works well in "The Matrix" but it drains the life from weepy romance.

    The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas
    Look beyond the perfunctory dinosaur flatulence jokes, and Viva Rock Vegas is really quite sweet and clever.
    • Miami Herald
  11. Garfield
    Now here's the reason America won't love Garfield: The Movie: Garfield's gone from the listless feline we all know and love to a fast-stepping, break-dancing cat about town. What's worse, the other characters are even farther from their roots.
  12. The Bonfire of the Vanities
    It still stinks...It's just a miss. [21 Dec 1990, p.13]
    • Miami Herald
  13. Jaws 3-D
    Yes, it's all pretty silly. But for those who can stand the annoyance of the cardboard glasses, there are worse ways to kill a hot afternoon. [23 July 1983, p.D6]
    • Miami Herald
  14. Sex and the City 2
    Frothy as it is, SATC2 is best when it's about the women, not the wardrobe.
  15. Did You Hear About the Morgans?
    Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker are supposed to pass for a married couple, but they have all the chemistry of two actors who just met and shook hands moments before the cameras rolled. They don't even seem to like each other much.
  16. Crossroads
    Young girls are the only ones likely to enjoy this vapid road-trip movie.
  17. A Guy Thing
    There is humor in the familiar just waiting to be rehashed for new generations, and A Guy Thing surely isn't the last stupid leave-'em-at-the-altar film we're likely to see.
  18. The Majestic
    Winds up suffocating you with its aura of bogus, store-bought nostalgia.
    • Miami Herald
  19. Catwoman
    Silly, tedious, inept disaster.
  20. Wild Hogs
    Wild Hogs is a paint-by-numbers comedy, borrowing most of its broad strokes from sitcoms, and not clever ones like "The Office" and 3"0 Rock," either.
  21. Coyote Ugly
    The bar scenes do make for a great, although brief, package.
    • Miami Herald
  22. The Women
    It's not every movie that makes you wish Vin Diesel would run in and start blowing up stuff.
  23. Playing for Keeps
    There isn't a moment in the entire picture in which you will recognize an element of your own life.
  24. Taxi
    If this is magic, I'll take "Gigli."
  25. The Musketeer
    Its failure to be extraordinary is thus all the more cutting, and its redundancy all the more unforgivable.
  26. Norbit
    Although there's no denying the threadbare nature of the script, watching Murphy riff can be a formidable entertainment on its own.
  27. Child's Play 3
    Though this sequel is not nearly as violent as Child's Play 2, it's every bit as vulgar and preposterous, funny despite itself and vicious, too. It is, in short, of interest only to those too young to see it. [31 Aug 1991, p.E4]
    • Miami Herald
  28. View from the Top
    Never achieves takeoff.
  29. Little Fockers
    Sitting through Little Fockers is a soul-sucking, dispiriting experience.
  30. Problem Child
    There are jokes in this story of a 7-year-old adoptee from Heck, but most of them are funny despite the clumsiness of their telling. The rest aren't funny at all. [1 Aug 1990, p.D7]
