    Employee of the Month
    It's an agreeable comedy that makes its priorities clear: It wants to be funny at the expense of almost everything else.
  2. Big Fat Liar
    The film gets snaps just by attempting the high road, and should be enjoyed by its target audience.
  3. Thunderbirds
    Director Jonathan Frakes keeps the tone just this side of tongue-in-cheek.
  4. Resident Evil: Apocalypse
    Best enjoyed by keeping in mind the latest cinematic proposition that apocalyptic disaster doesn't bring out the worst in people, only the stupidest.
  5. Diary of a Mad Black Woman
    The movie has a soul, and its good-natured charm may well win over the most cynical heart.
  6. Are We Done Yet?
    The unchecked enthusiasm of McGinley as the touchy-feely renovation guru gives slow-burn Cube the perfect foil and mellows the malicious comic tone. The rest is pure slapstick.

    Body Shots
    A thinker's film about the ever-shifting paradigm of man-woman relationships.
  8. Cradle 2 the Grave
    Even throwing in a spunky fight between female sidekicks (Gabrielle Union and Kelly Hu) isn't enough to float this film over clumsy dialogue and the feeling we've seen it before.
  9. Fly Me to the Moon 3D
    Would be totally unexceptional if not for its visual telling of the Apollo 11 flight and the fact that the movie is impressively shot - the first animated feature film in 3-D.
  10. My Name Is Bruce
    Campbell fans will get a kick out of it. The rest of the world will likely find this spoof a little too insular and indulgent.
  11. Lady in the Water
    It comes off as tedious, pretentious, self-indulgent, talky and so garbled it might have been improvised by the actors.
  12. Party Monster
    Taking on the sneeringly blase Alig may be a cagey career move for Culkin, but it's a disappointingly thin performance.
  13. Captain Corelli's Mandolin
    Ultimately, it's a surprisingly empty experience.
  14. Who Is Cletis Tout?
    Who is Cletis Tout? Who cares?
  15. Fast Food Fast Women
    Overly familiar, poorly cast and often annoyingly crude New York comedy that never finds its groove.
  16. Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star
    Imparts its fair share of laughs but bogs down after a solid start and never makes anything special out of its premise.
  17. Turistas
    The result of this blender mash of exotic horror isn't much of anything at all, neither suspenseful, terrifying or inventively gory: Turistas is dead on arrival.
  18. Stardom
    In Arcand's skilled hands, this sassy assembly comes together to be a comedy, a satire and a character study that's somehow not a bit condescending.
  19. The Reaping
    For genre fans, the horde-of-locust sequence may alone be worth the price of admission.

    What Happens in Vegas
    A first- or second-date flick, after which there can be some Cheesecake Factory and maybe a peck on the cheek, no harm done. What Happens in Vegas is pleasant enough for all of that (and it sidesteps all that "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" raunch).

    The Pink Panther 2
    A forgettable waste of time.
  22. Stolen Summer
    It plays like a big-budget, after-school special with a generous cast, who at times lift the material from its well-meaning clunkiness.
  23. Push
    Mostly it's a series of dream-image clues scribbled out by juvenile seer Fanning, followed by super-powered smackdowns between agents and mercenaries with slangy titles like watchers, stitchers and sniffers.
  24. Love's Labour's Lost
    It's never hugely engaging and it's instantly forgettable, but it has a certain goofy charm.
  25. How to Lose Friends & Alienate People
    The result is an initially hilarious picture that grows perplexingly trite as screenwriter Peter Straughan transforms Young's sly observations into assembly-line pap.
    • 35 Metascore
    • 42 Critic Score
    Resident Evil
    Like many video games, Resident Evil has a drearily long setup, then a lot of blood and gore, then an overextended ending.
  27. Teaching Mrs. Tingle
    Not surprisingly, the best thing on the screen is Mirren.
  28. Stealth
    Makes a serviceable summer shoot-'em-up, but it's surprisingly trashy and rather stupid, and its efforts toward being a gripping military drama in the Tom Clancy tradition are fairly pathetic.
  29. Star Wars: The Clone Wars
    It might be impressive as a made-for-DVD production, but coming from producer George Lucas, it makes for a cheap excuse for a big-screen spectacle.
  30. Jumper
    The best thing -- maybe the only good thing -- about the expensive sci-fi movie, Jumper, is its high-concept premise, which gives its hero the power of teleporting himself anywhere on the globe in the blink of an eye: from the Coliseum of Rome to the North Pole.
