  1. The Dukes of Hazzard
    Though its PG-13 rating allows for much cruder sex humor, the movie version of "Dukes" is nearly identical to the TV series in its corniness, in its incessant car chases and in its ogling of the posterior of cousin Daisy Duke.
  2. The Man
    The screenplay has no idea how to modulate the banter between the movie's talented stars so that it approximates affectionate and playful sparring.
  3. Changing Lanes
    Gets too caught up in its escalating violence and strained-to-bursting moral subtexts. It's the blood of souls drenching the screen, and it's a hideous sight to behold.

  4. Eight Crazy Nights
    To be fair, Sandler deserves some credit for bringing us the first mainstream movie about Chanukah. Too bad it's completely idioticah.
  5. Anatomy of Hell
    The award for hardest-to-watch movie of the year.
  6. Teddy Bears' Picnic
    Falls short of the mark, content to shoot fish in a barrel.
  7. Smokers Only
    A jumbled composite of blurred images, poetic yearnings and metaphoric dialogue.
  8. He liu
    A perfect example of an "art" movie that is so lugubrious and soul-sucking that it's hell to sit through.
  9. Idle Hands
    Ill-timed "Hands" has a very limited grasp of comedy.
    • New York Daily News
  10. Sobreviviré
    Desperate for a slice of Spanish soap opera? You might try this misguided romantic melodrama.
  11. My Baby's Daddy
    There's no story to speak of - three cohabiting bachelors are dragged into adulthood by the simultaneous pregnancies of their girlfriends - but Anderson, Imperioli and Eddie Griffin are amiable company and there's an earned laugh here and there.
  12. Chasing Papi
    It's hard to say which is worse: The fact that 20th Century Fox believes this sour, sexist fantasy reflects anyone's actual experience or that Hollywood is so woefully behind the cultural curve.
  13. Five Wives, Three Secretaries and Me
    A personal documentary on a family member. The question is, who -- outside of friends and family -- would want to watch it? The answer...is ... beyond me.
  14. Beyond the Sea
    Clumsily merges fiction and reality, biography and musical fantasy, and breaks the fourth wall in a way that allows Spacey to lamely address his own miscasting.
  15. The Wash
    Commits the cardinal sin of moviemaking: It leaves you bored.
  16. Set Me Free
    A slice of life that adds up to exactly the sum of its parts, no more, no less.
  17. The Ex
    Though there are giggles here and there, the film is inexcusably unfunny.
  18. From Other Worlds
    There are a few funny jokes scattered throughout, but the halfhearted direction and clunky script are underscored by performances that feel like they belong in community theater.
  19. Brother
    Wretch of a B movie.
  20. Love the Hard Way
    Brody does have a mesmerizing presence and is the only reason to see a film that likely would have gone straight to video if he hadn't won that Oscar for "The Pianist."
  21. Rittenhouse Square
    At its best moments, the film offers a tender portrait of the park's youngest regulars, charmingly earnest performers from a nearby music school. But then, inevitably, their stories fade into a backdrop, as his camera turns to catch yet more women sunning in the square.
  22. The Wedding Planner
    Has a lot of nerve making fun of Olivia Newton-John's "I Honestly Love You," as the choice of newlyweds fated for divorce in 12 to 14 months. The Wedding Planner should have such a shelf life.
  23. The Kid & I
    Arnold's heart is in the right place, but somebody needs to save him from himself - and soon.
  24. May
    Novice director Lucky McKee wrote the first draft of this labored horror flick while he was in school, and for a student film, it's not bad. But it's not ready for the big time.
  25. End of the Spear
    In documentary footage played over the closing credits, the real warrior is introduced to American fast food and returns to his people too fat and sluggish to spear himself a snack, let alone a missionary.
  26. Semi-Pro
    For die-hard Ferrell fans, this could be the ultimate test. He has been playing variations of "Elf" for five years, and his antics have grown as stale as Jackie's socks.
  27. After the Sunset
    You'd have to go back to Blake Edwards' "10" and Bo Derek to find a mainstream movie that spends more time gawking at a star's body - or a more cooperative and alluring subject.
  28. Wannabes
    A warmed-over ripoff, rather than the gritty urban drama it so desperately wants to be.
    • New York Daily News
  29. The Tracker
    An underwritten drama.
  30. Snipes
    Oddly enough, given his limited role, the movie seems to have been made around Nelly; when he's not onscreen, everything falls apart.
