    Love Me If You Dare
    It may be a simple matter of cultural dissonance, or maybe just a bad translation, but it's hard to see why this obnoxious romantic comedy about a lifetime-long relationship between two mischievous adults locked in an ongoing game of "Dares" was such a huge hit in its native France.
  2. Evergreen
    While the film has striking moments, it feels padded with events that seem freighted with narrative weight but end up not mattering at all to the story.
  3. Valiant
    While the target audience won't be as familiar with the voice of Gervais as with, say, Eddie Murphy, they'll no doubt love his dirty bird humor.
  4. American Dreamz
    Gets the details right while missing the big picture.

    The Million Dollar Duck
    This light-hearted fun is made to work thanks to the performances of a well-chosen cast, though the overall pacing drags and the editing is rough.

    Damien: Omen II
    As in the Friday the 13th movies the only real interest here is observing the outrageous lengths filmmakers go to in devising "Can-you-top-this?" murders.

    Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead
    Largely vapid, borderline homophobic, and surprisingly treacly.

    The Marine
    Lunkheaded but entertaining action flick.
  9. Click
    An uneasy mix of frat-boy yocks and "Twilight Zone"-style science-fiction.
  10. Elizabeth: The Golden Age
    History gets short shrift from screenwriters William Nicholson and Michael Hirst -- starting with the not insignificant fact that in 1585, Elizabeth was 52 years old – but Kapur is clearly more interested in spectacle and soap opera than dusty old facts.

    Pride and Glory
    Pride and Glory would be a pretty cool movie if it were made in 1982.
  12. Manna from Heaven
    The results are a bit amateurish, but wholesome and achingly sweet.
  13. Sweet Home Alabama
    Fluff in the tradition of Hollywood's screwball comedies of remarriage, lacking the wit or grace of such classics as "His Girl Friday" (1940) and "The Awful Truth" (1937).

    Jefferson in Paris
    Jefferson in Paris is a rich confection indeed, filled with tidbits about fashion, customs, art, and commerce in 18th-century France and America. But like a meal consisting of nothing but petits-fours, this lavish biopic is too much dessert and not enough main course.
  15. Zombie Strippers!
    On its own low-bar terms, it delivers the goods: pole-dancing, gut-chomping and Jenna J.

    It Takes Two
    This modern-day hybrid of "The Prince and the Pauper" and "The Parent Trap" is a slickly contrived showcase for the professionally cute Olsen Twins, late of TV's Full House.

    The Distinguished Gentleman
    There's just not enough good material, however, to sustain the comic pace.

    My Summer Story
    The sequel retains only vestiges of the charm and bizarre humor which made the original a surprise cult favorite.
  19. The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift
    To call the film noisy and brainless isn't even a criticism - it's unadulterated auto-porn, as shallow and shiny as it wants to be.

    Sydney White
    I like Amanda Bynes movies…and I’m a dork!

    I Love You to Death
    The result is a one-joke movie.

    Prom Night
    Fresh from being terrorized in Halloween, Jamie Lee Curtis stars in this slasher clone set to the wonderful thump of disco music. Prom Night is better than most slasher movies, mainly because it's funnier.

    Loverboy
    It all adds up to an unfortunate misfire: a film at odds with both its source material and itself.

    Strange Fits of Passion
    Fun for a while, but soon turns grating before ending on a startlingly tragic note.
  25. Vanilla Sky
    Crowe preserves the original film's plot twists and turns, but his version lumbers when it should be whipping along, daring you to keep up. The wall-to-wall pop music soundtrack eventually becomes oppressive, and Cruise's oily smile doesn't really constitute a characterization.

    Baunsu ko gaurusu
    Rather than portraying these girls as one-dimensional victims, Harada offers a complex portrait of teenagers who've learned to make their exploitation work for them.
  27. The Statement
    Norman Jewison's honorable but stodgy exercise in ethical outrage, based on Brian Moore's acclaimed 1996 novel, fairly aches to be called a thinking man's thriller.

    Home Fries
    The film boasts slick production values and a charmingly modest turn from the charismatic Barrymore, but it's too trifling and uneven to be a good date movie.
  29. Freak Weather
    McKenzie's mercurial performance is the centerpiece of this sad, surprisingly absorbing story.
  30. Elizabethtown
    This lighthearted meditation on life, death, love and timing contains some genuinely lovely scenes, but they're buried in a shapeless jumble of cutesy-pie vignettes.
