  1. Madagascar
    Less like "Shrek," meaning hilarious and heartfelt, and more like "Shark Tale," meaning manic and exhausting, Madagascar will keep kids distracted without transporting them to wonderland.
  2. Get Rich or Die Tryin'
    The film is shockingly light on music and heavy on crime scenes that play as bogus.
  3. The Truth About Charlie
    Demme can't sustain the fizz, but seeing a real filmmaker try and fall short is still more fun than watching a hack hit the mark.
  4. Justin Bieber: Never Say Never
    What we do see is mom, dad, Braun, Usher, vocal coach Mama Jan Smith and the burgeoning Team Bieber claiming they only want the best for the boy as he goes through a punishing 84-date concert tour. Group hug.
  5. American Ultra
    Eisenberg and Stewart stay appealing to the last. The movie, not so much.
  6. Trolls World Tour
    Trolls World Tour hits the home market at exactly the right time, celebrating music as a joyful, community experience that excludes no one. Nothing wrong with a movie, even this kiddie piffle, that steps up and does that.
  7. What Just Happened
    There are funny scenes, nicely directed by Barry Levinson. Other stuff, involving De Niro's ex-wife (Robin Wright Penn) and their daughter (Kristen Stewart), are not much of anything. It's a tossup. Your call.
  8. Derailed
    The strapping Owen as a guy who can't handle himself and cutie-pie Aniston as a witchy woman? I don't think so. Talk about derailed.
  9. Baywatch
    No cliché is left unturned, and Gordon compensates with slick action.
  10. Where'd You Go, Bernadette
    It’s the human devastation that gets short shrift in a movie that turns the hot, hilarious, out-for-blood Bernadette into the thing she hates most: conventional.
  11. TRON: Ares
    Look, it’s not like Tron: Ares, the third entry in this film series that now spans four decades, doesn’t have a few things going for it.
  12. Wicked: For Good
    There are a few decent numbers left. Erivo still makes you feel like she owns this role. But for better or worse, For Good mostly feels like a mere reprise of the first film’s candy-colored cacophony, only with the volume slightly turned down.
  13. The Hunted
    Just a "Rambo" rehash.
  14. Old School
    Only fitfully funny, except when Ferrell is onscreen -- then you won't stop laughing.
  15. The Secret Life of Pets 2
    Sad to say, the bloom is off the rose.
  16. Safe
    Statham is still playing it safe in Safe, but vulnerability is showing through the cracks.
  17. Waking the Dead
    Gorden teases out some affecting scenes, but not enough to carry a film that promises more than it delivers.
    • Rolling Stone
  18. The Weather Man
    Cage works hard to find traces of humanity in a man that God forgot, as do screenwriter Steven Conrad and director Gore Verbinski. But in the face of a character no one cares about, can audiences be faulted for asking: Why should we?
  19. The Raven
    Cusack captures that desperation vividly enough to make you wish this was the real Poe story, which The Raven onscreen leaves buried alive.
  20. Saw
    It's gross as hell.
  21. Evita
    The movie is such a chore because watching actors strain to wrap their mouths around prerecorded songs for 134 minutes is irritating and, worse, alienating.
  22. Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star
    Spade goes sweet and gooey. This is nucking futs.
  23. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End
    The good news first: Keith Richards totally rocks it playing pirate daddy to Johnny Depp's Capt. Jack Sparrow. The deep rumble of his voice and those hooded eyes that narrowly open like the creaky gates of hell make him what the rest of this three-peat is not: authentically scary...So what's the bad news? Richards is onscreen for barely two minutes.
  24. Fast & Furious
    I can see why Fast and Furious might be a smash as audiences look for escape from a broken economy. All those wheelies and power slides are designed to obliterate thought, not provoke it. Talk about a movie for its time.
  25. Love Actually
    Curtis ladles sugar over the eager-to-please Love Actually to make it go down easy, forgetting that sometimes it just makes you gag.
  26. Bad Santa 2
    It simply does not have the courage of its crass convictions. There's a going-through-the-motions vibe to the whole affair.

    Five Nights at Freddy's
    As a narrative that pretends to plumb the dark absence of missing children, however, Five Nights at Freddy’s is curiously inert, unwilling to get under your skin even as it grows dense with explanations of what’s happening.
  28. Love and Other Drugs
    Anne Hathaway and Jake Gyllenhaal are hotties with talent. And they maneuver through the daunting maze of shifting tones and intersecting plots of Love and Other Drugs like the pros they are.
  29. The Eyes of Tammy Faye
    Jessica Chastain isn’t just the reason to seek out The Eyes of Tammy Faye — she’s the only reason to see this curiously tepid biopic at all.
  30. Good Boys
    Good Boys rides highest on the teamwork of its three young stars.
