  1. What's wrong with this movie? A better question might be: What's right? Every attempt at comedy is not only obvious but delivered in such a forced manner that any hope of generating laughter dies before the joke has been told.
  2. At least Jessica Alba's legion of fans will have something to smile about. If nothing else, Helfrich has shown her in the best light. If only there was something worth seeing here other than her.
  3. Comes across as a lame wannabe - a romantic comedy that lacks the level of outrageousness necessary to elevate it about the countless trite entries into the bloated genre.
  4. No movie could be more aptly compared to raw sewage than this film.
  5. This grim, joyless motion picture is anything but fun. It’s a chore to sit through, with all the blazing, noisy pyrotechnics proving unable to lighten the mood.
  6. There's no evidence of craftsmanship or energy. Everything, from the plot to the execution, is plodding and obligatory.
  7. The only thing that distinguishes Species 2 is how awful it is.
  8. Can't decide whether it wants to be a black comedy, dumb farce, or sentimental sit-com.
  9. This is another one of those pointless action superhero movies that unfolds like a video game in which the viewer is unable to participate.
  10. Some of the dialogue is astonishingly awful. Sex and relationships are constantly likened to animal interaction.
  11. A bad movie. No amount of perfume sprayed on talk show audiences by Madonna and her husband can eliminate the stench of failure emanating from this motion picture.
  12. Hush has three very simple problems: it's incredibly dumb, it's incredibly boring, and it's incredibly predictable (at least up to the stupefying ending).
  13. Defined by three characteristics. It is as stupid as a decapitated worm. It is as irritating as a mosquito buzzing around one's head. And it is as funny as "Schindler's List."
  14. Mr. Nanny isn't entertainment; it's an exercise in masochism.
  15. The ineptitude of the movie's drama is matched only by the failure of its humor.
  16. Expectedly lowbrow and grotesque, but there are some truly inspired moments.
  17. One of the dumbest thrillers to arrive it theaters in a long time.
  18. Despite having the same title and a similar premise to a 1980 Jamie Lee Curtis flick (kids getting slaughtered on prom night), this is NOT a remake. In fact, it really doesn't have much of a plot. It's basically "The O.C." with a body count.
  19. It is legitimately unwatchable.
  20. Epic Movie is a waste of time. It's like a bad issue of "Cracked Magazine" come to life. It's not so much painful as it is sleep inducing.
  21. This is the kind of movie that isn't even worth renting when it comes out on video because, with the possible exception of Michael Lerner and Omar Epps dancing to show tunes, you've seen it all before.
  22. Unless you derive pleasure from watching Lohan being tortured, there's no reason to subject yourself to this movie. Besides, if that's your goal, all you have to do is turn on tabloid TV. There's Lindsay's living hell of a life, being broadcast 24/7.
  23. Weekend at Bernie's 2 is made for a certain audience -- the indiscriminate movie-goer who will see almost anything that guarantees a few laughs. Those that belong to that group will find what they're looking for in this film. Almost all the humor is macabre and repetitive, but the film manages to be sporadically funny. Nevertheless, I find it hard to believe that many people will pay $6 or $7 to see a picture that has TV sitcom production values, writing, and acting.
  24. The comedy is mostly restricted to one-liners, some of which aren't funny. And the action is uninspired, barely tapping the vast potential of an amusement park chase film.
  25. Message to those who thought Gigli was the worst movie of 2003: check this one out. You'll change your mind damn fast.
  26. A second-rate regurgitation of "The Lord of the Rings." Everything about it, down to the set and costume design, apes Peter Jackson's epic trilogy. However, while "The Lord of the Rings" was a grand story of scope and power, In the Name of the King feels small in more ways than one.
  27. The Layover is an appalling movie.
  28. Things might have been okay if this film had gone someplace, anyplace, but it stalls early, then coasts through an hour of minimally-amusing material before screeching to an amazingly improbable stop.
  29. Mixed Nuts makes a point of stating that there's magic at Christmas. After seeing this movie, I'm a believer. After all, it's virtually impossible to come up with an alternate explanation of how something this awful could make it to theaters across the nation.
  30. The most depressing thing about this movie is not that it's such a complete waste of time, but that there are people in Hollywood who think this kind of thing is what American movie-goers are interested in seeing.
  31. What's missing is honesty. It has been supplanted by artifice.
  32. If you've gone to Kung Pow for the plot, you have made a mistake. Come to think of it, if you have gone for the comedy, you've also made a mistake. In fact, if you've gone at all, you've made a mistake.
  33. Fair Game is howlingly bad - so awful, in fact, that it can actually be enjoyed on a certain level.
  34. Unfortunately, although there’s an opportunity here to do something compelling, that opportunity is largely wasted. Perfunctory characterization, lackluster acting, an inability to sustain tension, and an incoherent ending waste most of the goodwill resulting from the premise.
  35. This film is an absolute mess.
  36. Not only is this an amateurish travesty combining fundamentalist Christian eschatology with disaster movie b.s., but it's plodding and tedious.
  37. The Emoji Movie proves unable to provide even a modicum of content capable of capturing or retaining the attention of an adult. Nap time.
  38. Once again, we have a movie where the jokes are aimed at the least common denominator - meaning that to genuinely enjoy the experience of sitting through Slackers, you will need help from a controlled substance.
  39. Even the rare individual who died laughing while watching the trailer will discover that only half of that phrase - the "dying" part - applies to the experience of enduring the film.
  40. This film has no story, no characters, and no coherence.
  41. In the final analysis, The Curse of Michael Myers is a horrific motion picture -- just not in the way the film makers intended.
  42. Supercon has its moments, although not nearly enough of them, and its grossest-of-gross-out scenes might be disgusting enough to cause John Waters to wince.
  43. Formulated on an idiotic idea and develops a predictably lackluster motion picture from it.
  44. This is bad. Not bad in a way that it might be fun to see when inebriated. Bad in a way from which only death provides immunity.
  45. A cinematic excursion so horrific that it's an insult to bad movies to call it a bad movie.
  46. Its video-on-demand availability makes Anti Matter easily accessible and it will reward those who seek it out.
  47. The Vanished Element provides an opportunity for those who enjoy the conceits and stylistic approach of neo-noir thrillers but are looking for something less entrenched in the standard narrative structure.
  48. Outside of the insects, nothing else is either creepy or compelling. For a better version of pretty much the same story, invest the time in watching "Aliens."
  49. The caper in Carter & June is clumsy and straightforward, lacking sophistication and intelligence. Sadly, that’s an apt description of the film as a whole, which is difficult to sit through and leaves no lasting impression beyond the desire to warn people to stay away.
  50. It’s as if the film’s reason to be is its aesthetic, with everything else being of secondary concern.
  51. Whether it’s the screenplay, the direction, or the acting, Art of Love never ascends to the level that would make it more of an experience than a way to pass a couple of hours.
