  1. College Road Trip
    If, on the other hand, your driver's license is still a distant dream, consider this a path to pure hilarity.
  2. Fighting for Life
    There are some heartbreaking moments here, from the reactions of recent amputees to the tearful doctors and nurses trying hard to remain professional. And there is no question that Sanders has discovered a worthy subject. He just hasn't found the right way to approach it.
  3. Girls Rock!
    A must-see both for girls and the grownups who love them.
  4. Married Life
    It's a sly little fable with at least six very obvious homages to Alfred Hitchcock thrillers, and a dark little heart that happily hides under a double-breasted suit.
  5. Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day
    It's left to the ideally cast McDormand to keep everything on track and, as expected, she weathers every tonal change with competence, confidence and a perfectly stiff upper lip.
  6. Paranoid Park
    The story's fractured structure - and Christopher Doyle's dreamlike cinematography - make for a striking mood piece.
  7. Snow Angels
    It does give Sam Rockwell another opportunity to creep us out, and Kate Beckinsale a new shot at believability. Too bad the movie around them meanders.
  8. City of Men
    The movie's power comes less from its contrived story than everything else: the stark setting, chaotic energy and authentic cast.
  9. Bonneville
    Bonneville does provide at least one important service: The next time an older actress complains that there are no good projects for women of a certain age, she'll be able to hold this clunker up as Exhibit A.
  10. Chicago 10
    A provocative reflection of its rule-breaking subjects, Brett Morgen's political documentary re-examines the past while drawing unmissable parallels to the present.
  11. The Other Boleyn Girl
    Chadwick builds a brisk pace and sweeping scope that initially grab our interest. But this Anne's sole motivations are sex and greed, and the wild rumors that were designed to destroy her are treated here as gospel.
  12. Penelope
    An endearing premise and fanciful spirit aren't quite enough to rescue a film that has more heart than smarts.
  13. 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.
  14. Chop Shop
    Ale's community is like a band of pirates - collegial, bickering, larcenous and supportive - and his life within it is both heartening and heartbreaking.
  15. Diary of the Dead
    There are a few clever moments, as when an Amish farmer saves the tech-savvy students. But mostly, we're in it for the gore.
  16. Definitely, Maybe
    It's a decent Valentine's date-night flick, and should earn Reynolds the attention he'll need to snare stronger leading roles.
  17. Jumper
    Deep into Hollywood's Dumb Season comes one of its dumbest offerings.
  18. The Spiderwick Chronicles
    A world designed for children, and most of the grownups involved don't quite understand it - on or offscreen.
  19. Step Up 2: The Streets
    Unabashedly earnest, completely predictable and packed with enough high-voltage dance scenes to make any audience applaud.
  20. Ezra
    There’s no questioning the sincerity of the filmmakers or the urgency of the subject matter, but the clumsiness with which this harrowing story of a child soldier in Africa may wear you out long before the puzzle is put together.
  21. Fool's Gold
    Just how long will it be before Matthew McConaughey finally fulfills his destiny by dropping out of Hollywood and opening a chain of nudist colonies? His heart clearly isn't in acting right now, so when it was time to make Fool's Gold, he asked his abs to do the job for him.
  22. The Hottie & the Nottie
    You've got to admire Hilton's complete conviction in herself as the center of all that is beautiful and good. And maybe such unwavering self-regard is actually kind of hot. Or not.
  23. In Bruges
    The banter between these unlikely partners seems inspired by Quentin Tarantino's ingeniously insipid dialogue, delivered with indelible deadpan sincerity by John Travolta and Samuel L. Jackson in "Pulp Fiction." Neither the dialogue nor the characters are as interesting here.
  24. Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights - Hollywood to the Heartland
    Wild West Show would have really been something if Vaughn had taken a few of his fellow Frat Packers with him - say, Will Ferrell, Jack Black, Ben Stiller and Steve Carell - instead of the struggling unknowns.
  25. Welcome Home, Roscoe Jenkins
    Lawrence's co-stars are more than ready to provide salty humor while creating a loose, almost improvised feel.
  26. London to Brighton
    Very good but very grim, Paul Andrew Williams' punishing debut doesn't pull many punches - although the characters certainly field their share of body blows.
  27. How to Rob a Bank
    An excellent actor too often stuck in unworthy roles, Nick Stahl deserves much better than Andrew Jenkins' derivative, self-conscious heist flick.
  28. Hannah Montana & Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert
    Note: We're giving this one 4 stars if you're under 12; 2-1/2 stars if you're not...That unwieldy name should give you some sense of Disney's intentions: this is, plain and simple, a consolation prize for all the frustrated fans who couldn't get tickets to Cyrus' sold-out stadium tour last year.
  29. Over Her Dead Body
    Back to Wisteria Lane, Eva, and stay there until we call you.
  30. Praying with Lior
    Trachtman's gentle profile does make for touching viewing, but she leaves too many questions unanswered.
