  1. Ella McCay
    Ultimately, there are few filmmakers whose work I admire more for its sophistication and undeniable humanity than that of Brooks, but this film isn’t just bad — it’s unbearable.
  2. Christmas with You
    It doesn’t break any genre barriers, nor does the film offer anything new to say about these respective topics. However, Tagliavini nicely crafts a Christmas rom-com that is funny and sincere — a feat with which many other holiday romantic comedies have struggled.
  3. Dear Evan Hansen
    Dear Evan Hansen might be well-meaning, but it completely misses the mark. It’s not the worst movie out this year, but it’s not a musical one might be inclined to rush to the theater to see, either.
  4. The Underdoggs
    The film is funny, but the drama doesn't fully work.
  5. Michael
    The finished product has more than justified the cost. From the casting to the costumes to the full-fledged concert performances, Michael lives up to the legendary status of its namesake.
  6. Mother of the Bride
    Mother of the Bride's success rests on the filmmakers' abilities to not oversell anything and trust that the collective charisma of the assembled cast will do what it needs to do — and it does, though a flimsy script and one major miscast can be distracting.
  7. All My Life
    Bolstered by the sweet chemistry of its attractive leads, All My Life doesn't listen to its central message: Make the most of the time you have.
  8. My Oxford Year
    Even with a literary atmosphere and a steamy romance, the fact that My Oxford Year blatantly feels comfortable exploding emotional minefields for narratively unclear reasons clouds its potential success as a basic but inoffensive rom-com.
  9. Pinocchio
    It needed something to make it feel fresh beyond dazzling visuals, but by stripping away much of what made the first film great, Pinocchio feels like the same old story, even if its fantastical elements shine onscreen.
  10. Incoming
    Incoming has funny moments, and the young actors deliver their lines with the commitment of seasoned professionals every step of the way. However, as I was watching, I was endlessly reminded that watching Incoming's influences would have been more enjoyable.
  11. Him
    Tipping and his co-writers have a lot of great ideas and thought-provoking commentary about the way we treat athletes, but the lead-up to an admittedly explosive conclusion doesn’t land. Wayans and the score seem to be doing most of the tension-building. It’s a shame the rest of the film couldn’t rise to the same level.
  12. Behind You
    Carried by a generic story and uninspired performances, Behind You falls flat in its mission to terrify viewers with suspenseful mirror magic.
  13. Abandoned
    Abandoned has a few things in its favor, but the disappointing conclusion obscures them while making the movie's flaws even more prominent, which ultimately makes it difficult to recommend.
  14. Chaos Walking
    There are minimal bursts of potential lurking in Chaos Walking’s messy execution, but it doesn’t deliver much but stagnant characters and dull action.
  15. Vacation Friends 2
    Vacation Friends 2 doubles down on the dirty jokes of the original and delivers.
  16. Kinda Pregnant
    It could've made for a sharp comedy, but there's an ickiness that overwhelms the whole movie.
  17. America: The Motion Picture
    The concept is promising, and the violent delirium of the movie's visuals show that this could have been a fun, adrenaline-fueled romp. Instead, it's just an unfunny comedy that leaves a bad taste in one's mouth.
  18. The Family Plan 2
    The film is woeful from top to bottom.
  19. The Curse of Bridge Hollow
    The Curse of Bridge Hollow hopes to hide a clunky, unfunny script behind the veneer of a solid filmmaking apparatus, but it manages to test one's patience even at a merciful 89 minutes of runtime.
  20. Role Play
    It's the right amount of romantic, funny, and thrilling, and it does what it needs to do to make its narrative feel less derivative and more dynamic and fun.
  21. Jurassic World Dominion
    Jurassic World Dominion is a messy but fun end to the Jurassic Park sequel trilogy, bringing franchise themes, characters, and nostalgia full circle.
  22. Hillbilly Elegy
    Full of repetitive flashbacks and constant yelling, Hillbilly Elegy strives to be the next great domestic drama, but falls short in several ways.
  23. The Estate
    This is a terribly unfunny venture, which fails at the film’s only job.
  24. Ice Road: Vengeance
    Ice Road: Vengeance is an overall excellent action film, with all the qualities of a Hollywood blockbuster.
  25. The Addams Family 2
    The Addams Family 2 is a shallow continuation that spends too much time on unconnected hijinks, resulting in an uneven sequel with much less heart.
  26. Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin
    Ultimately, Paranormal Activity: Next of Kin is neither a believable nor an entertaining film.
  27. Family Switch
    It may not be breaking ground in any major way, but Family Switch knows how to play within the absurd rules of a body swap situation, and it does so in an entertaining way.
  28. Atlas
    Atlas is like an artificial sci-fi movie that walks and talks like the real thing, but just isn't.
    • 37 Metascore
    • 60 Critic Score
    Star Trek: Section 31
    Overall, Star Trek: Section 31 can best be described as a fun time. And if it sometimes feels a bit hollow, well, not every Star Trek story has to have profound commentary on what it means to be human.
  30. Outcome
    Hill is willing to look critically at some of his industry's darkness, but he's also far too inclined to let his lead off the hook, and his film is weaker for it. As dark comedy, Outcome feels underbaked; as drama, it lacks sufficient introspection to have earned its emotional catharsis. Part of that is length: At under 90 minutes, the film is sometimes choppy and out of breath, and more time to flesh out its ideas might have helped it feel more tonally balanced. But no one change could fix a problem that's rooted in the vision for this material.
