  1. September Dawn
    September Dawn, written by an evangelical Christian, may be the worst historical drama ever made.
  2. Osmosis Jones
    More than a bad movie, it's an anti-movie.
  3. Shall We Dance
    This is a "What were they thinking?"-size disaster, with the wrong actors in the wrong roles in a project that had no reason to be remade in the USA.
  4. Così ridevano
    A ponderously slow experience.
  5. Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back
    Typical of road comedies, it's a pastiche of sketches.
  6. Heartbreak Hospital
    If you want to direct a movie that's already been done, it's a good idea to pick one you can improve on.
  7. Bewitched
    The result, at best, is a sweet failure.
  8. The Bridge
    Eric Steel's documentary has more than a whiff of exploitation about it.
  9. Margarita Happy Hour
    The production is as gaily colored as the margaritas, but the overall result is wan.

  10. Monster-in-Law
    Fonda's performance is a perfect storm of histrionics, and she leaves nothing and no one standing.
  11. Night Watch: Nochnoi Dozor
    Frankly, after watching writer-director Timur Bekmambetov's grim fantasy - the first leg of a trilogy adapted from the sci-fi novels of Sergei Lukyanenko - I'm still a little confused.
  12. Blood and Chocolate
    Though technically a werewolf movie, the silly Blood and Chocolate is really just a toothless love story about the bad stuff that can happen when two very different people fall in love.
  13. Anything Else
    The worst performance in a film that diminishes even the talented Stockard Channing is given by Allen. He's never written a more unpleasant, vapid or irredeemable character for himself, and he makes it worse by overplaying.
  14. The Time Machine
    Wells' vision of the distant future is cartoonishly simplistic without the subtext of British class consciousness that informed the novel.
  15. Revolver
    A few scenes are stylish enough to amuse, but they all add up to nothing - leaving you ten bucks short and feeling like a sucker.
  16. Hot Rod
    In fairness, the new movie from the Lorne Michaels machine does have its amusing moments. It's just most of them can also be found in "Napoleon," "Talladega Nights," "Eagle vs. Shark," and any installment of "Jackass."
  17. Money Buys Happiness
    Unless you're struck by the urge to watch strangers work out their petty issues in couples therapy, it's hard to find a compelling reason to sit through Gregg Lachow's irritatingly self-absorbed indie drama.
  18. Monsieur N.
    The second half of Antoine de Caunes' Monsieur N., about the post-exile life and death of Napoleon, plays less like a movie than a suggestion for one. This is a great disappointment because the first half is very cinematic and very compelling.
  19. Novocaine
    The result is a performance that is neither funny nor empathetic, and the romance that develops between the dentist and the junkie patient is not strong enough to support the mystery.
  20. Never Been Thawed
    You may not realize just how much it takes to make a great mockumentar like "Waiting for Guffman" until you see Never Been Thawed.
  21. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
    Having these characters interact is both the joke and raison d'etre of "League." Its story is beyond banal.
  22. Girl Play
    With little plot and a stifling set, the ­movie needs stronger performances than its leads can offer.
  23. Restless
    Would that the film were as interesting as the setting.
  24. Daddy Day Care
    Though topnotch actors often can elevate mediocre material, they need a topnotch director to help them do it. Steve Carr ("Dr. Dolittle 2") is not that director.
  25. A Sound of Thunder
    Burns doesn't even bother to disguise his New York accent, any more than he does his boredom.
  26. My First Mister
    Drifts from goofy situation comedy to pop culture parody to a last-act load of sentiment that would sink a trash barge.
  27. It's All About Love
    Surely, Vinterberg was high on some inert gas when he embarked on it.
  28. The Legend of 1900
    It doesn't strike a single note of authentic emotion.
  29. Big Momma's House 2
    If there is a casting agent in hell, ­Martin Lawrence and Tyler Perry will soon put on their fat suits as Big Momma and Madea Simmons and show up as a tag team in a big-screen ­Wrestlemania.
  30. Poster Boy
    As irritating as an ideological college student, this earnest debut from Zak Tucker is determined to teach us a lesson about right and wrong.
