  1. Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son
    Won't likely disappoint fans of men-in-drag comedy but doesn't offer much that's original or funny.
  2. Zero Bridge
    Manages to be effective even though the Indian drama is rough around the edges.
  3. Brotherhood
    Director Will Cannon keeps the energy level cranked but over-amplifies the dramatics to shrill effect, resulting in an unfortunate tone that undermines the serious-minded intent.
  4. I Am Number Four
    The movie is a mixed bag, with many of the elements fun and intriguing, but since this is also a Michael Bay-produced movie, CG monsters and cartoon bad guys gum up a third act.
  5. Unknown
    Director Jaume Collet-Serra provides a steady flow of suspense and a very Polanski-esque feeling of paranoia.
  6. Vanishing on 7th Street
    Whatever one's view of Christian evangelical beliefs, from strictly a horror-film standpoint the movie needs a better villain.
  7. Mooz-lum
    The clash of cultures isn't exactly groundbreaking but Qasim "Q" Basir's feature debut is told through the eyes of a young, black American Muslim, a perspective that has rarely been seen.
  8. Just Go with It
    The predicable, overlong romantic farce has enough sass and sex appeal to appease fans of stars Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston.
  9. Certifiably Jonathan
    Bound to disappoint diehard Winters fans while leaving the uninitiated baffled, Certifiably Jonathan doesn't begin to fully suggest the range of the comedian's brilliance and lasting influence.
  10. Orgasm Inc.
    Although scattershot in its approach and relying a bit too heavily on cutesy animation, Orgasm Inc. is an eye-opening exposé.
  11. Gnomeo and Juliet
    The movie comes up short on inspiration despite a stellar voice cast that includes James McAvoy and Emily Blunt and a toe-tapping songbook by Elton John and Bernie Taupin.
  12. Justin Bieber: Never Say Never
    It generally succeeds, too, thanks to a visually energetic approach by director Jon Chu that keeps all the obligatory backstage/onstage bits moving fluidly.
  13. Even the Rain (Tambien la Lluvia)
    While the concept may sound schematic, it is brought to vivid life by wonderful characterizations.
  14. Lovers of Hate
    Designed to make you laugh and squirm, Lovers of Hate does more of the latter.
  15. Vidal Sassoon: The Movie
    Entertaining and comprehensive in its account of the man's career.
  16. Carancho
    Punishing for some, it could be just the cup of tea for the young male demographic.
    • 87 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Poetry
    Not everyone will wax lyrical about this enigmatic and troubling film, which is also Chan-dong's most slow-moving one. But those with an eye for reading between the lines can find layers of meaning.
  18. Cedar Rapids
    It's not exactly "The Hangover," but the dialogue and situations often get distinctly gamey.
  19. The Eagle
    The Eagle is an engaging, if straightforward and one-dimensional.
  20. The Roommate
    Managing nary a single original idea throughout its 93-minute running time, the film does benefit from a cast of sexy young TV stars who should attract the desired female teen demographic.
  21. Waiting for Forever
    Mistaking arrested development for enlightened innocence, Waiting for Forever is an indigestible hash of whimsy, drama, romance and, for good measure, crime.
  22. Sanctum
    Banal dialogue, over-modulated performances and melodramatic scoring combine forces to sink the stirringly photographed proceedings quicker than that treacherous flash flood.
  23. Troubadours
    Director Morgan Neville does an adequate job in retracing the explosion of singer-songwriter talent out of West Hollywood's legendary Troubadour club, but makes a bad choice by starting now, not then.
  24. Cold Weather
    Mumblecore meets Arthur Conan Doyle in the ambitious, if not always satisfying, Cold Weather.
  25. From Prada to Nada
    Features sitcom-style stock characters and situations, not to mention the sort of ethnic stereotypes to be found in TV ads for fast-food Mexican restaurant chains.
  26. The Mechanic
    Like many action stars, Statham is good at cool brooding, but West's frantic style works against this.
  27. The Rite
    The Rite becomes more ludicrous as it goes along, with more than a few lines of dialogue from Michael Petroni's over-the-top screenplay eliciting unintended titters.
    • 67 Metascore
    • 70 Critic Score
    Ip Man 2
    Compared to his stellar hit "Ip Man" - a biopic on the Wing Chun master who tutored Bruce Lee - Wilson Yip's more lavishly produced sequel Ip Man 2 is a fistful of hits and misses.
  29. The Woodmans
    As frank, discerning and eloquent as its subjects, The Woodmans is one of the most affecting art-themed documentaries.
  30. Dhobi Ghat (Mumbai Diaries)
    Easily one of the most dynamic cinematic portraits of that decaying, vibrant, impossible city ever made; it treats the city itself as a character.
