  1. 2 Days in Paris
    Delpy wrote the dialogue that gives the film its forward thrust, and "2 Days" is a wonderful first feature.
  2. Crossing the Line
    Aside from some resonant hints that all is not as it seems, the movie leaves it to you to decide where the truths begin and ends. You'll be untangling Dresnok's knotty reality long after you leave the theater.
  3. Descent
    There is no excusing date rape, but the revenge conceived and executed by Rosario Dawson's Maya in this revolting, amateurish drama is something you might only wish on Osama Bin Laden.
  4. Rocket Science
    A quirky comedy-drama that gets the bulk of its humor from the well-placed non sequitur. It never seems to be going where you think it is, and that includes its oddly endearing dialogue.
  5. Rush Hour 3
    This may be the best-looking film in the series; certainly, the Paris setting, with a climactic battle among the girders of the Eiffel Tower, keeps the visuals interesting. Better you buy a postcard.
  6. Stardust
    While it won't rival the Harry Potter movies as a cultural milestone, the luminous, irresistible Stardust is no less industrious at scavenging myths and legends and making something altogether new from the familiar pickings.
  7. Daddy Day Camp
    If you're looking for a modern-day "Meatballs" - or, for that matter, "Meatballs 4" - you're out of luck.
  8. The Ten
    The Ten is so proud of its own wit and irreverence that when you fail to be equally impressed, you are likely to wonder if your own sense of humor is, in some way, deficient. Rest assured it is not.
  9. Becoming Jane
    We can't quite shake the feeling we've seen this all done before, and better.
  10. The Bourne Ultimatum
    Bursting with so much amped-up energy, you may need to rest once it's finally done.
  11. 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.
  12. El cantante
    The awkwardly told story of salsa legend Hector Lavoe, El Cantante doesn't even get the title right: It should have been called "La Esposa," since it's really less about the singer than his wife.
  13. 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."
  14. Underdog
    Made for viewers old enough to appreciate a talking pooch but too young to read or write about it.
  15. Laura Smiles
    It's an interesting profile in self-destruction until the script becomes unhinged itself and has Laura doing things that are not so much outrageous as hilariously stupid.
  16. I Know Who Killed Me
    The truth is, no review could really do justice to the monumental trashiness of this mess; it really has to be seen to be believed. Although if Lohan is lucky, no one will bother.
  17. Molière
    The actors elevate what might have been fluff into a genuinely moving tale, and the action is so much fun that it doesn't even matter if you've seen Molière's plays before.
  18. No End in Sight
    The most compelling and least partisan of all the Iraq documentaries.
  19. No Reservations
    Even the food - usually the centerpiece of a restaurant movie - is oddly uninspired. Despite Zeta-Jones' best efforts, barely a moment here feels organic, or fresh.
  20. The Simpsons Movie
    A very funny, solidly entertaining movie that, despite its unshakable obsesion with undergarments, is as sweet as a Kwik-E-Mart Squishee.
  21. This Is England
    Turgoose, in his first film role, is entirely convincing as the strong-willed but naïve Shaun, and Graham is a genuine fright as the feral prototype of the violent skinhead culture on the horizon.
    • 18 Metascore
    • 38 Critic Score
    Who's Your Caddy?
    His C-Note is essentially a one-note character. And that note is flat.
  23. Arctic Tale
    The flat narration by Queen Latifah doesn't help, but Adam Ravetch and his wife Sarah Robertson's nature film, Arctic Tale, fails to inspire the kind of rapturous response we felt for "March of the Penguins" for other reasons.
  24. Cashback
    It's no small trick to blend fantasy, slapstick and genuine emotion, but Ellis pulls it off with whimsy to spare.
  25. Goya's Ghosts
    Although the period feeling is convincing, Forman doesn't seem to know exactly what he wants to say about this intensely complex era - and that leaves his cast floundering.
  26. Hairspray
    A great big sloppy kiss of entertainment for audiences weary of explosions, CGI effects and sequels, sequels, sequels.
  27. I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry
    Directed with his usual flair for the obvious by Dennis Dugan ("The Benchwarmers), "Chuck and Larry" has the nowness factor of a Polish joke. Does anybody laugh at this stuff anymore?
  28. Sunshine
    The whole thing burns out well before the director reaches his ­final destination.
  29. Live-In Maid
    Weary and overworked to her very bones, Dora nevertheless has a heart of gold and a spine of steel. The movie does, too.
  30. Interview
    The first of three planned remakes of Dutch films by the late Theo van Gogh, Steve Buscemi's Interview takes the most unnatural act in human intercourse - the celebrity interview - and makes an explosively funny two-character psychodrama out of it.
