    Dog Park
    If a movie smells like a dog and barks like a dog, well, then it must be a woofer.
  2. The Delta
    The movie then becomes John's story, making an unbelievable leap of psychodrama to do so.

  3. Godsend
    At the half-hour mark, Godsend falls off the edge of reason, veering wildly away from what seems the promising beginning of a drama about the ethics of human cloning and instead becomes the cheesiest of hallucinatory horror movies.
  4. Just Visiting
    There ought to be a law about transporting humor internationally.
  5. Crazy as Hell
    Hell is sitting through a movie in which you have no respect for the protagonist and the "surprise" ending is as clearly lit as the exit sign.
  6. Ghosts of Mars
    I have an idea for a Mars movie. When our first astronauts step onto the Red Planet, they discover that Martians not only exist but that they've hired Johnnie Cochran to represent them in a massive defamation suit against American filmmakers.
  7. A Walk to Remember
    The audience for this chaste teen romance won't be film lovers, as the movie is sappy and listlessly paced. But it's just the ticket for people who want their movies sanitized.
  8. Ready to Rumble
    See it only if potty-training is still the most vivid life experience in your book of memories.
  9. xXx: State of the Union
    Critics are inclined to describe the action in films like "XXX" and Lee Tamahori's sequel, XXX: State of the Union, as "cartoon violence." I'll resist doing that out of respect for cartoons.
  10. Rebound
    A dreary comedy in the same mold (as "The Bad News Bears," only moldier.
  11. The Mating Habits of the Earthbound Human
    A one-joke idea...wears itself out almost instantly.
  12. Soul Survivors
    It's nonsense. Even when its big secret is revealed in the final moments, it adds up to nothing more than a dizzy, dark, hysterical waste of time.
  13. Freddy Got Fingered
    Exhaustingly manic but curiously unfunny movie.
  14. Amy's Orgasm
    There's definitely room for a female Woody Allen, an accolade garnered by a previous film. However, Amy's Orgasm is chirpy, shrill and coarse, more in the vein of one of Allen's more depressed periods.
  15. Gun Shy
    Blakeney's script contains more hackneyed dialogue and misfired jokes per minute than would seem possible, and the result embarrasses every actor in it.
  16. Porn Star: The Legend of Ron Jeremy
    This documentary doesn't probe too deeply, and it presupposes that there is a general interest in Jeremy commensurate with his Q rating among the porn-renting public.

  17. Drowning Mona
    Excuse me, but didn't Bette Midler already play this role?
  18. Underclassman
    A remedial comedy for idiots.
  19. Epic Movie
    Still, if it gets little else right, at least Epic Movie is accurately titled: It may be only 86 minutes long, but it feels as if it lasts forever.
  20. Wrong Turn
    In these movies, it's always easy to figure out who's going to survive and make the killers cough up their own blood, but you still hope that the victims will go in the order of their performances -- worst actor first, etc. No such luck.
  21. Garfield
    Thanks to that dog-torture element, Garfield may be too upsetting for younger kids. Meanwhile, older kids (let alone parents) will want to put this movie behind them like yesterday's hairball.
  22. The Fluffer
    What if you made a pornographic movie with a real story line and better acting but didn't show any sex? You'd get The Fluffer, a movie that sounds and feels like the real thing but isn't.

  23. End of Days
    It's brain-dead start to finish.
  24. Screwed
    You've got to give Norm Macdonald credit. When he cheats his audience, he warns them first.
  25. Sorority Boys
    Recycles the most obvious jokes from similar comedies that preceded it, such as "Tootsie," but with the most rudimentary characters.
    • New York Daily News
  26. Death Sentence
    Bacon's performance in "Saw" creator James Wan's laughably extreme revenge thriller Death Sentence is six degrees of ham.
  27. New Suit
    Satire works when it's sharp and funny. When it's not, you get New Suit, an unremarkable sour-grapes comedy about the obsequious players and inconsequential products of Hollywood.
  28. The Order
    Certainly a dark spirit is hovering over this inane production. Something has sucked the life out of it.
  29. Bandits
    This self-conscious movie by Katja von Garnier is shot like a music video, stocked with quick cuts, lip-synching and fantasy performances.
  30. Pinocchio
    The most bizarre cinematic experience of 2002. So misguided as to be utterly mystifying, this shameless vanity project is almost surreal enough to be entertaining. Almost.
