  1. The Perfect Score
    Only sharp dialogue and a suspenseful buglary might have given this lame, quasi morality play some energy. It has neither.
  2. The Core
    Only Stanley Tucci seems aware of the drop-dead stupidity of the plot, and acts up a storm of high camp as the narcissistic scientist.
  3. Bee Season
    It took one novelist, one screenwriter and two directors - Scott McGehee and David Siegel - to cobble together this earnest nonsense, and if it weren't for 12-year-old novice Flora Cross, who plays its central character, all would be lost.
  4. The Cuckoo
    By the time you've worked through the allegorical implications, you may be wondering why you didn't just go see "Charlie's Angels."
  5. The Hawk Is Dying
    Goldberger's stubbornly insular script - adapted from a novel by Harry Crews - might have fared better on stage, where the story would feel more contained than suffocating. But by the time you crawl across this finish line, you'll know just how those sluggish the birdsfeel.
  6. 9 Dead Gay Guys
    Heavily influenced by Guy Ritchie, director Mo gets most of his comic mileage from a Hasidic Jew and an angry dwarf -- which should tell you everything you need to know.
  7. Hey Arnold! The Movie
    Could easily be just another episode of "Hey Arnold!" the TV show. Except that it's three times as long, and not half as much fun.

  8. The Game Plan
    Director Andy Fickman seems to have thrown everything into this artificial comedy, in the hopes that something might stick. Almost nothing does.
  9. Janice Beard
    As the story of a romantic office lump, Janice Beard resembles last year's "Bridget Jones's Diary." But it is a far, far lesser thing.
  10. Circuit
    The movie's strongest draw is its kitsch value -- along with a wisecracking Bruce Vilanch, the cast includes '80s TV refugees Jm J. Bullock ("Too Close for Comfort") and the Greatest American Hero himself, William Katt.

  11. Half Past Dead
    The martial arts are well represented, the gentler arts -- like, for example, acting -- are not.
  12. Just Like Heaven
    The problem comes when the movie turns into a tedious, faith-based diatribe against medical science.
  13. The Hot Chick
    If you're in an especially generous mood, you'll give in to a few laughs. By the end, though, you just may find yourself pining for the good old days of Pauly Shore.
  14. Woman Thou Art Loosed
    If you're looking for cinema, skip this. But as a religion-based self-help workshop for victims of ­childhood abuse, it'sa deadly accurate button-pusher.
  15. Modigliani
    It's hard to take this oddball movie seriously.
  16. Just One Time
    Atoothless morality play.
  17. Shadowboxer
    If he earns no other accolades for his directorial debut - a distinct likelihood - Lee Daniels deserves some kind of award just for assembling the most bizarrely random cast of this young century.
  18. The Tripper
    A convoluted mess of a horror movie.
  19. Stella Street
    Some of the jokes will elude Americans while the movie's hip quotient gradually fades away.
  20. The Exorcism of Emily Rose
    The dullest exorcist movie ever made.
  21. Must Love Dogs
    Did Lane and John Cusack really have to put themselves through this? Here are two first-rate actors in the embarrassing situation of playing blithering misfits in a lame comedy of errors.
  22. Love Stinks
    Not just unromantic, it's unfunny, too.
  23. WXIII: Patlabor the Movie 3
    The full title of this animé import is WXIII (Patlabor the Movie 3), and if you think the name's confusing, you may want to spare yourself the work of figuring out the film itself.
  24. Star Trek: Nemesis
    There comes a time when the future looks old, and that's where "Star Trek" finds itself on the time-space continuum.
  25. Daddy's Little Girls
    Subtlety has never been Perry's strength, but his previous films balanced the sermonizing with good humor and sincerity. Perhaps next time, he'll ease up on the lectures, and bring back the love.
  26. Bratz
    The best that can be said about the big-screen Bratz is that they are not nearly as appalling as their toy-shelf twins.
  27. Running Scared
    The whole movie is some kind of joke, a sick one to be savored by a certain segment of the movie audience. You know who you are.
  28. Hotel
    Much talking, much sex, much to-do about nothing.
  29. Son of the Mask
    What the filmmakers missed in assuming the mask from the earlier film is that it was Carrey's astonishing physical comedy that made that film a hit, not the animation.
  30. The Bachelor
    Out of place, out of time and out of its own cultural context.
