  1. Knockdown
    The film is a tedious narrative shambles that's almost hilariously unaware of its racism and sexism.
  2. Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted
    In spite of its lazy, cookie-cutter screenplay, simple narrative mechanics are only dutifully observed to the extent that they step aside to make way for numerous flights of madness.
  3. Bel Ami
    A coherent characterization of Robert Pattinson's striving schemer is nowhere to be found in this pedestrian period piece.
  4. Lola Versus
    A year in the life of a young woman unhappy in love and uncertain in career, Lola Versus could easily be faulted for the narrowness of its worldview.
  5. Peace, Love, & Misunderstanding
    What saves the film from being simply a schematic mother-daughter reconciliation drama is both the reluctance and prickliness that Catherine Keener brings to her character.
  6. Safety Not Guaranteed
    More focused on emotion than adventure, it teases out the possibilities and perils of time travel without embroiling itself in the confusion inherent to the subject.

    Sexual Chronicles of a French Family
    Its scope is too limited for it to muster much of a response in us beyond basic titillation. And there are plenty of better places to go for that.
    • 73 Metascore
    • 75 Critic Score
    The Loved Ones
    Sean Byrne endows his rote slasher material with the kind of blackly comic wit and levity that virtually guarantee its entry into the contemporary midnight-movie canon.
  9. Wish Me Away
    The film is ultimately too concerned with courting the singer's fans to deliver anything more than a theatrical release of a very special episode of VH1's Behind the Music.
  10. Hide Away
    A banal "poetic" drama of a grieving stranger licking his wounds in a bayside Michigan town.
  11. Snow White and the Huntsman
    As feminist fantasy, the film is non-committal, and as a reimagining of the fairy tale, it's at best expensive-looking without seeming wantonly so.
  12. Richard's Wedding
    In the director's preference for above-it-all contempt over tough-minded empathy, the film ends up seeming little more than an 89-minute hatefest.
  13. Pink Ribbons, Inc.
    A righteously outraged documentary targeting the "warm and fuzzy" iconography of the breast cancer fundraising bureaucracy and its camouflage of corporate priorities.
    • 42 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Crooked Arrows
    Although it adheres to the tried-and-true sports-movie formula of an underdog team striving to overcome their limitations to become winners, Crooked Arrows lacks captivating emotional momentum.
  15. A Cat in Paris
    An animated film with the cozy charm of an advertisement for Starbucks French Roast, A Cat in Paris is all design and no danger.
    • 46 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    U.N. Me
    U.N. Me isn't all sneering, and it certainly makes its points.
  17. Found Memories
    Julia Murat shows a fine grasp of form, letting her technique reflect the elements and moods of her story.
    • 20 Metascore
    • 12 Critic Score
    Cellmates
    The film offers Tom Sizemore the perfect opportunity to prove himself worthy of a comeback. Alas, he fails spectacularly.
  19. 6 Month Rule
    The film is far too indulgent with its lead character to do more than hint at the ways that one form of male egotism can morph into another.
  20. 5 Broken Cameras
    The documentary provides a birdsong of perseverance in the face of irrational violence, immense historic anger, and grim, seemingly insurmountable realities.
  21. For Greater Glory
    The film is awash in blandly brown-toned cinematography, action scenes more violent than rousing, and a whole host of bathetic subplots.
  22. High School
    As sure as marijuana gets you high, you can count on weed-themed comedies cropping up every few years, each hoping to become a stoner-classic staple--a fate to which High School falls far short of achieving.
  23. Piranha 3DD
    John Gulager is neither artist nor genius, bringing only straight-to-video conviction to Piranha 3DD.
  24. Chernobyl Diaries
    With the faux-verité aesthetics of [Rec], the American-tourists-in-Eastern-European-hell setup of Hostel, and the brain of a mushy radioactive mutant zombie thingie, Chernobyl Diaries is little more than decomposed horror leftovers.
    • 66 Metascore
    • 63 Critic Score
    OC87: The Obsessive Compulsive, Major Depression, Bipolar, Asperger's Movie
    A tender, painful, and frustrating work of vulnerability, and because of this in some ways deflects critical commentary.
  26. The Woman in the Septic Tank
    A lighthearted critique on the fetishized notion of the "non-actor," the ethics (or lack thereof) of the "docudrama," and the packaging of national despair for exportation.
    • 58 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Men in Black III
    More like an attempt to reenergize a franchise than rebottle the lightning that electrified the original.
    • 54 Metascore
    • 25 Critic Score
    Redlegs
    Redlegs may be "raw," but it's meaningless. That's something Cassavetes would have never abided.
  29. The Intouchables
    A cheeky dream-drama about the friendship between a rich, white quadriplegic and a penurious black job-seeker, the premise of The Intouchables alone nearly renders analysis redundant.
  30. Quill: The Life of a Guide Dog
    The exquisite live-action Quill: The Life of a Guide Dog may be the family film of the year.
