  1. Biker Boyz
    Guy flicks can be just as galling as the chick variety. Here's Exhibit A in how to lose an audience in ten minutes.
  2. Gangster Squad
    This movie made my ears hurt. Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett and James Ellroy could have turned this pulp into insinuating jazz. What's here is a cartoonish bore.
  3. Daddy Day Care
    Murphy looks comatose delivering the played-out poopy jokes.
  4. High School Musical 3: Senior Year
    If you're gay and/or eight years old, HSM3 is the movie event of the year.
  5. American Pastoral
    American Pastoral, Roth's magnum opus, needed a film revolutionary on the order of Paul Thomas Anderson, Alejandro González Iñárritu or the Coen brothers to re-imagine it for the screen. McGregor's timid approach does no one any favors, including Roth – and especially the audience.
  6. What Dreams May Come
    How can a film look so radiant and be so hollow?
  7. Eat Pray Love
    The movie left me with the feeling of being trapped with a person of privilege who won't stop with the whine whine whine.
  8. The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
    Except for Connery, who is every inch the lion in winter, nothing here feels authentic.
  9. I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry
    No comedy this year can beat this dud for mealy-mouthed hypocrisy.
  10. The 5th Wave
    Despite the strong presence of Kick-Ass star Chloe Grace Moretz as Cassie, the movie is selling the same old YA yada yada yada that made phenoms of "Twilight" and "Divergent."
  11. The Women
    It's a major dud.
  12. 2012
    Beware 2012, which works the dubious miracle of almost matching "Transformers 2" for sheer, cynical, mind-numbing, time-wasting, money-draining, soul-sucking stupidity.
  13. The Pacifier
    It just plain sucks.
  14. Battleship
    Way to go, Battleship: Take the crassest of cynical junk, slather it in jingoism and sell it as rah-rah fun for right-wingers.
  15. Parker
    This Parker spits in our collective eye. Don't blame us for spitting back.
  16. Against the Ropes
    Critics and audiences should unite to KO this loser.
  17. The Last Shot
    Never achieves liftoff.
  18. The Divergent Series: Allegiant
    If only their stuff had a spark of life it might be forgivable, but Allegiant plods along like a franchise on its last legs. Who remembers where we left off last time in Insurgent? My point exactly — no one.
  19. The Circle
    It's a paranoid thriller without suspense, urgency or a single new thing to say.
  20. Total Recall (2012)
    Since the new Recall is totally witless, don't expect laughs. Originality and coherence are also notably MIA.
  21. My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2
    What once bubbled up from a sincere love of Greek family has now congealed into the all-too-familiar Hollywood tale of milking a cash cow until cries for mercy.
  22. Look Who's Talking
    This flabby comedy deserves only one thing: to fall on its fat one.
  23. Larry Crowne
    Larry Crowne is more than a missed opportunity. It's alarmingly, depressingly out of touch.
  24. Blair Witch
    Every attempt at fright lands with a deadening thud. For shock value, Wingard and cowriter Simon Barrett simply repeat stuff from the original film, only this time louder, lamer, duller and stupider. Scarier? That got lost in the woods with whatever you spent for a movie ticket.
  25. She Hate Me
    When a Spike Lee film doesn't fly, it sinks like a stone.
  26. Burlesque
    It could have been the 21st-century Showgirls. I wouldn't have missed that for the world. Instead, Burlesque, starring Cher and Christina Aguilera playing drag queen versions of themselves with all the vitality of Madame Tussauds wax dolls, is a bust that lacks the pizzaz and bugfuck nuttiness of Paul Verhoeven's 1995 trash epic.
  27. National Treasure
    It's not just hard to believe any of this, it's impossible. And director Jon Turteltaub (Phenomenom) directs with robotic cheerlessness.
  28. The Lake House
    I can't believe that even the most rabid chick-flick masochists wouldn't gag on it.
  29. Gerry
    Strands Matt Damon and Casey Affleck (both named Gerry) in a desert with little to say and do except lose themselves in an existential wasteland of doomed beauty.
  30. The Butterfly Effect
    Nothing can save this repetitive bore. Dude, where's your memory?
