    Surf Nazis Must Die
    Lots of laughs; some fine darts tossed at fascism, southern California customs, and the USA in general; a tongue firmly embedded in the cheek; and a fairly good score all add up to make this a sleeper...If your sense of humor has the slightest warp in it, you may thoroughly enjoy SURF NAZIS MUST DIE.

    The Cannonball Run
    With a plot stolen from THE GUMBALL RALLY (1976) and CANNONBALL (1976), this wholly derivative car-chase movie provides a flimsy excuse for good ol' boy Burt Reynolds to cavort on-screen with a cast that's chock-full of familiar faces.

    Midnight Madness
    The film lacks the usual juvenile raunch, but it also lacks brains in telling its story of an all-night scavenger hunt, involving a lot of dumb jokes and predictable situations.
  4. Pokémon: The Movie 2000
    No better than the first.
  5. Drop Dead Gorgeous
    Screenwriter Lona Williams doesn't seem to have gotten much beyond the petty absurdity of theme headdresses and ludicrous talent competitions.
  6. The Hitcher
    Bean carves out his own modest variations on the theme of John Ryder-on-the-storm, but Bush and Knighton are so blandly forgettable that it's hard to believe that they're the protagonists and not Victims 1 and 2.
  7. Happily N'Ever After
    In all, it's a peculiar mishmash, simultaneously bland and suggestive.

    The Haunting of Molly Hartley
    Horror of the glossiest, safest kind. It's a boring bubblegum shocker that loses its flavor faster than Fruit Stripes.

    Ernest Rides Again
    With even less plot and cheaper production values than usual, this is comedy for catatonics that will bore even fans of past entries in the series.

    White Hotel
    The film only gains its footing in the final half hour, when Griffin and Solvang interview a healer who regularly performs female circumcisions and, finally, two people who actually have AIDS.
  11. House on Haunted Hill
    For horror fans in a forgiving mood, it's an adequate fear fix.

    The Ugly Truth
    At the end of the day, people who want to see this movie aren't looking for something original. There's a certain familiarity that makes the romantic comedy a perennial favorite among audiences.

    Deck the Halls
    Filled with forced yuletide cheer and mixed messages about the true meaning of Christmas, this loud and obnoxious holiday comedy boasts a fine cast and little else.

    Amityville 3-D
    Director Richard Fleischer demonstrates a keen understanding of the potentials of the 3-D gimmick here, but there is little else to recommend this dull retread.
  15. The Gospel According to Philip K. Dick
    The filmmakers created an animated version of the writer to accompany audio clips of Dick speaking. It's a well-intentioned but unsatisfying invention, which pretty much sums up the whole enterprise.
  16. Pokémon Heroes
    Given that most fans are very young, ignoring a key aspect of the Pokemon mythos is bound to confuse and disappoint them.
  17. Head Over Heels
    If you try to imagine a breezy Cary Grant movie in which Grant makes penis and fart jokes, you'll have some idea just how wretched it is.
  18. The Perfect Man
    This cream puff of a romantic comedy is sweet enough, but lack of substance makes it deeply unsatisfying.
  19. Sweet November
    This whimsical weeper gets off to an awkward start and never finds its footing.
  20. The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas
    The best thing about it is the cast. Baldwin's moronic Barney is an acquired taste, but Krakowski is an adorable, sassy Betty, and Johnston brings an endearing coltishness to the sensible Wilma.
  21. Garfield
    The CGI is well-done, but Garfield's presence among the otherwise live cast is a constant distraction.

    Beverly Hills Ninja
    Farley -- one of the few comedians who could ever be justly accused of debasing the pratfall -- has made a film that's tantamount to watching an overweight man slip on a banana peel for nearly 90 minutes.

    Revoloution
    The message this oddball film propounds is pretty much standard stuff on the Oprah circuit.

    The Bonfire of the Vanities
    It's a great-looking film with a great-looking cast, it had some of Hollywood's top talent behind the cameras, and a budget of more than $45 million, but it lacks bite and conviction and utterly failed to strike a single spark, much less catch fire.

    Vampire in Brooklyn
    Vampire in Brooklyn, a purported "comic tale of horror and seduction" that is neither funny nor frightening, just unpleasant.
  26. Are We There Yet?
    Repetitive, predictable comedy.

    Jaws 3-D
    Although shot well and boasting some effective 3-D work, this is a woefully inadequate effort, and the series began to slip into inadvertent self-parody.
  28. Crossroads
    The film's mealy-mouthed messages about feminine empowerment will almost certainly fall on deaf ears, since even 11-year-olds know Spears's power resides largely in her taut torso.
  29. A Guy Thing
    The formulaic mechanical plot machinations benefit greatly from the presence of the vivacious Stiles, gravely beautiful Blair and personable Lee, who radiates fundamental decency without seeming like a sap.
  30. The Majestic
    That Carrey, who's a bit old for the part, always seems one facial muscle away from a smirk doesn't help matters.
