  1. The Art of Racing in the Rain
    When the movie stalls, it’s Enzo to the rescue. Since the film covers a decade in the lives of its characters, two dogs take turns playing Enzo, at age 2 and 9. They’re both picks of the litters. And Ventimiglia contributes an emotional honesty that serves him well even when the plot sinks into marshmallow.
  2. Scoob!
    The original cartoon’s credit sequence, redone with modern computerized shininess, is indeed a gas to witness. The rest is basically corporate synergy, canine shenanigans, and hot air. Zoinks, indeed.
  3. D.E.B.S.
    You might think there's no downside to a movie that peeks up the skirts of babes in micro-minis, but writer-director Angela Robinson's dimwitted satire is libido-killing proof to the contrary.
  4. Office Christmas Party
    This pooped party brings you down from all the jokes that don't land and the flop sweat pouring off good actors whose forced cheer is exhausting.
  5. Unfrosted
    The idea of doing The Right Stuff of food stuff and treating the rise and fall of empires over a breakfast treat as U.S. History 101 is, on paper, a well-balanced meal. Onscreen, it comes off as a lot of half-baked self-satisfaction that leaves you woozy from the sugar crash.
  6. The Lovely Bones
    All this is conveyed in the remarkable performance of Ronan, an Oscar nominee for Atonement. She and Tucci -- magnificent as a man of uncontrollable impulses -- help Jackson cut a path to a humanity that supersedes life and death.
  7. The Big Bounce
    Except for a rare scene of shaggy charm, nothing works. Nothing.
  8. The Family Man
    Starting to feel sick? Just you wait.
    • Rolling Stone
  9. Wet Hot American Summer
    Lulls aside, Wain and Showalter deserve camp kudos for getting the details right.
  10. Stuber
    Stuber traps two talented dudes — Kumail Nanjiani and Dave Bautista — in a car that’s going nowhere so fast that Thelma and Louise would hop right on.
  11. The Divergent Series: Insurgent
    Surprise is lacking. Ditto humor, though Miles Teller (Whiplash), as a thorn in Four's side, gets in a few fun licks by not staying on the film's draggy tempo. Otherwise, Insurgent stubbornly fails to surge.
  12. Sanctum
    The movie ultimately reveals itself as a pretender with no balls. Creatively, it's all wet.
  13. I Know What You Did Last Summer
    It’s the sensation that you’re watching something that’s sloppy, overthought, undercooked and can’t decide whether it wants to honor the original (it fails), add to both the in-house lore and the longstanding genre tropes of the slasher canon (it does not), or some combo of both (two missed opportunities for the price of one).
  14. Locked Down
    It works far better as a partial document of life under lockdown than as a genre mash-up.
  15. Transformers: Rise of the Beasts
    Beasts puts its audience on cruise control, easy and painless. It makes the toy aisle look pretty good.
  16. Love the Hard Way
    To shine in a turd like this shows Brody has the stuff that -- damn the Oscar jinx -- makes an actor last.
  17. Transcendence
    All I can cull is: don't mess with Mother Nature and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Fortune-cookie stuff. Erase All.
  18. The Internship
    A flabby farce that might win a pass at the box office because it's just so cute and family friendly. But where's your edge, guys? Where are the laughs that walk a tightrope?
  19. Overboard
    The snotty rich bastard? That role goes to Eugenio Derbez, Mexico's biggest star, who's allowed to speak a big chunk of his dialogue in Spanish, complete with subtitles. It's the one original idea that this retrofitted Overboard has to offer. The rest of the movie wears out its welcome muy rapido.
  20. Mister America
    We get something that’s too long for their usual stoner-digestible absurdism, too unfocused to really take on post-Trumpian political targets, and too insular to translate to folks not already invested in their long, drawn-out in-joke.
  21. Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom
    Even if you view this as just another superhero movie, it still feels like a litter’s runt. We’d have been fine if this kingdom stayed lost.
  22. The Ice Road
    Neeson has made better pulpy B movies, and he’ll probably make worse ones than this. The good news is that, like buses, a new film from the star tends to come around every few hours, so you can skip this one without regrets.
  23. Inferno
    Hanks is one of the most likable actors on the planet. But Inferno just lays there onscreen, pancake-flat and with no animating spark to make us give a damn.
  24. Captain America: Brave New World
    It’s as if someone had gently ladled a teaspoon of artificial political-thriller flavor over a substandard Marvel movie, being oh-so-careful as to not upset corporate overlords or the status quo. A better title might have been Captain America: Business as Usual.
  25. Superstar
    No dice...But no apologies are needed for Shannon--she earns her star spot.
    • Rolling Stone
  26. Renegades
    Once again, it’s the script (by newcomer David Rich) that shoots the picture’s promise all to hell.
  27. Burnt
    A cheerless and unappetizing plate of piffle that deserves to be smashed against a wall or at least sent back to the kitchen.
  28. Jurassic Park III
    Stinks worse than dino dung. Sure, the creatures look good.
  29. Bad Samaritan
    Mostly, it's a collection of spare suspense parts that someone ransacked at the movie dump and is trying to resell as fresh product. Good luck with that.
  30. Parker
    This Parker spits in our collective eye. Don't blame us for spitting back.
