  1. Papa: Hemingway in Cuba
    As a movie, Papa improves every time it shuts up and allows action to define character.
  2. Baywatch
    No cliché is left unturned, and Gordon compensates with slick action.
  3. 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.
  4. Be Cool
    You know a sequel isn't working when, ten minutes into the movie, a voice inside your head starts screaming, "Please make it stop!"
  5. Gimme Shelter
    Propaganda is a bitch to act. And this misguided movie leaves Hudgens buried in it.
  6. Serenity
    The batshit bonkers Serenity fails on every level, first as entertainment and then as a new-agey thumbsucker about a magical, mystical tour through the subconscious. Serenity finds new definitions of bad that almost make the damn thing worth watching for its magnificent flameout.
  7. The Tourist
    In a year of craptaculars, The Tourist deserves burial at the bottom of the 2010 dung heap. It offers talented people trapped in creative inertia. A microscope and a search party could not discover any trace of chemistry between Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie.
  8. What's the Worst That Could Happen?
    Lawrence forgoes his knack for verbal comedy and replaces it with crude nonstop mugging.
  9. Domino
    The movie is full of possibilities. Frustratingly, only a few of them are realized.
  10. Wrath of the Titans
    This feeble followup to 2010's godawful "Clash of the Titans" sucketh the mighty big one.
  11. The Lone Ranger
    Here they're just putting "Pirates of the Caribbean" in a saddle and pretending we won't notice.
  12. Evan Almighty
    It's Carell who projects the movie's only sense of mischief. But it's too little and too late.
  13. Charlie St. Cloud
    Some bad movies should carry a leper's bell to warn off ticket buyers. Such a contagion is Charlie St. Cloud, a load of mawkish swill starring Zac Efron (bereft of the talent he showed in "Me and Orson Welles").
  14. Miracle at St. Anna
    The film collapses because Lee can't sew these vignettes into a seamless tapestry. He's more interested in getting even than he is in getting it right.
  15. Bad Company
    The motor of the plot, involving nuclear terrorism, not only knocked Bad Company out of last year's release schedule due to 9/11 sensitivity, it stops Rock and Hopkins from sustaining a comic rapport. The waste is criminal.
  16. I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry
    No comedy this year can beat this dud for mealy-mouthed hypocrisy.
  17. All the King's Men
    Overthought, overwrought and thuddingly underwhelming, this high-profile misfire makes a congealed gumbo out of Robert Penn Warren's Pulitzer-winning 1946 novel and the Oscar-winning 1949 movie that followed it, sinking a classy cast in the goo.
  18. The Beverly Hillbillies
    The Beverly Hillbillies is not, as the saying goes, a critic’s picture. Still, you want to root for a movie that wallows without shame in leering, fatuous humor. I did — for about 15 minutes — then the sameness set in like an overdose of Beavis and Butt-Head.
  19. Fist Fight
    Charlie Day owns one of the highest-pitched male squeaks in the business and he puts it to hilarious use on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I could watch him in anything – but Fist Fight is pushing it, given that's it's always raining a storm of comic clichés that quickly drowns any semblance of audience goodwill.
  20. Analyze That
    The sequel, also directed by Harold Ramis, is painfully padded.
  21. A Life Less Ordinary
    The movie damn near lives up to that promise. Picture the Marx brothers and the Coen boys collaborating on a valentine spiked with mirth and malice.
  22. Love Ranch
    "GoodFellas" Oscar winner Pesci, who hasn't appeared onscreen in a major role since 1998's "Lethal Weapon 4," is a dynamo of conflicting emotions. And Mirren, bawdy in ways that erase all memory of her award-winning role as Elizabeth II in "The Queen," is magnificent.
  23. Red Notice
    There’s something incredibly deflating about all of this, from the waste of precious screen-talent resources to the sense that you’re watching the last gasp of an age-old formula. It is like staring at a bright, shiny epitaph for two hours.
  24. Cold Creek Manor
    It's sad to see risk-taking director Mike Figgis (Leaving Las Vegas, Hotel) do a generic thriller for a paycheck and then not even screw with the rules.
  25. The Bye Bye Man
    Horror-movie fans often have put up with a lot to get their requisite amount of fright per month, and that tolerance limit is seriously tested by this slapdash attempt to introduce a new slasher hall-of-fame character into the mix.
  26. Only God Forgives
    Where "Drive" shrewdly mystifies, Only God Forgives stupefies. You can see its gears grinding. But I'll always hang on for a rare talent like Refn. Even when he stumbles, he leaves you eager to see what he's up to next.
  27. The Story of Us
    Turns into a bogus drivel courtesy of a sitcom monster.
    • Rolling Stone
  28. Speed Racer
    There is one high note. You can approach Speed Racer as the trippiest stonerfest since Stanley Kubrick took his space odyssey.
  29. W.E.
    Here's Madge one more time doing something for which she is eminently unsuited – directing.
  30. Three to Tango
    The kind of movie that TV stars do when they're on hiatus and trying to squeeze one in.
