  1. John Q. is as fake as that tear, an exploitative mess trying to pass as social activism.
  2. Peet is always worth watching, but the role does her no favors, and the script, involving a kidnapping and a surprise cameo by Neil Diamond - you heard me - smacks of desperation beyond saving.
  3. Painfully flat gross-out comedy.
  4. Gives us good reason to believe that January really is the month Hollywood studios use to bury their cheesiest mistakes.
  5. The script that Nicholas Klein has conjured from Bono's idea is a quicksand that sucks down a solid cast.
  6. Abort! Abort! It's that time of year when Hollywood releases movies it should never have made in the first place.
  7. For some reason — maybe it’s because the seminal, ’74 original holds such a special place in so many die-hards’ hearts (this one included), and still feels like such a potent example of channeling primal fear — this latest ransacking of a landmark title feels less like just another killer-versus-final-girl rerun and more like the final straw.
  8. Filming this mess in North Carolina (strike three).
  9. Dracula may stay undead in the new millennium, but there's not a sign of life - oh, that bloodless acting - in this sorry mess.
  10. Crass manipulation can clean up at the box office, so do your part: Nail this flick as a bottom feeder and pay the bad word forward to three others.

  11. This War of the Worlds isn’t bad or even so-bad-it’s-good. It’s a secret third thing, a hodgepodge of shoddy CGI and dead-eyed reaction shots from Ice Cube that make you feel like you can identify individual brain cells mid-death cycle.
  12. The call on this one is: dead on arrival.

    Blood and Honey is a hundred-acre wasteland, a witless gory bore, and in the end, you’re just depressed that anyone spent time working on it.
  13. You can only swindle audiences by thinking you simply throw A-list stars in anything and people will still show up, drooling like Pavlov’s pups, for so long before the echo in empty theaters is deafening.
  14. It takes a lot of hard work and the perfect alignment of movie stars to make something this god-awful.
  15. Reeks like something produced from a squatting position.
  16. A shit stain on the genre.
  17. On film, The Last Thing He Wanted settles for just being hollow. It’s the last thing any of us wanted.
  18. A slipshod sequel that looks tossed together over a weekend by people who couldn't care less.
  19. Laced with such rampant misogyny that the laughs stick in your throat.
  20. A script by Peter Gaulke and Gerry Swallow that is minus a shred of Farrelly wit.
  21. In one scene, raw sewage is dumped on Joe. See Joe Dirt and you'll know how that feels.
  22. What Lynch, who wrote the script at 19, sees as high drama is really high camp. And Fenn seems clueless on how to play her limbless character.
  23. It's not just that the movie itself is wicked awful, it's that Mr. Deeds brings out the worst in Adam Sandler.
  24. It would be great to see this turd squashed under a truck, preferably a semi.
  25. The film takes a true story and drags it through a swamp of hyped-up Hollywood cliches.
  26. The film is in black-and-white so the gore doesn't spray quite as colorfully. But you'll still puke up a storm. Not so much at the movie, whose shock value wears off quicky, but at Six, who seems to hate himself almost as much as his audience. Masochists will give the movie a thumbs-up, as long as their thumb isn't already up their ass.
  27. The Bay-man has made the worst and most worthless Transformers movie yet. I know, hard to believe, right? How could any summer blockbuster be as dull, dumb and soul-sucking as the first three Transformers movies? Step right up.
  28. The laughs to be had in this deliciously awful sequel are all unintentional. A bummer for film buffs, but a ball for fans of the misbegotten.
  29. What to say about this lame-brained, limp dick attempt to update a classic Brothers Grimm tale into an f-bomb throwing vomit-inducing 3D franchise? I say, screw the damn thing and run the other way.
