  1. The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas
    Now and again, the bizarre occurs, such as when Fred and Barney don showgirl outfits and seem to be doing their version of "The Birdcage." But mundane is more the norm.

  2. Where the Heart Is
    The Wal-Mart of cinematic soap operas. One-stop shopping for your emotional movie needs.
    • 75 Metascore
    • 88 Critic Score
    Croupier
    A tiny treasure: grown-up, tight, sexy, suspenseful and with a mildly ambiguous wrap-up that stimulates the mind rather than confusing it.
  4. Gossip
    A glossy wisp of a cautionary tale.
    • USA Today
  5. U-571
    One would be hard-pressed to name another submarine movie that lingers so little in the memory two days after seeing it.
  6. The Virgin Suicides
    In contrast to big-screen bummers we see every week, this movie conveys genuine sorrow.
  7. Love & Basketball
    One wishes producer Spike Lee had stepped in to give the dialogue some sass.
  8. Keeping the Faith
    Even surly moviegoers may discover how pleasant it can be to actually like movie characters.
    • USA Today
  9. American Psycho
    Exceedingly well cast and assembled with flashy visuals and pacing by Harron, this period piece is diminished by its relative pointlessness.
    • USA Today
  10. 28 Days
    Far too familiar.
    • USA Today
  11. Where the Money Is
    Easygoing and easy to take, the movie isn't much.
  12. East Is East
    A robust family comedy that saves its wildest moments for a climactic "get-together."
    • USA Today
  13. The Filth and the Fury
    Irritates in the early going when many of the current-day interviews are so intentionally underlighted that we can't see what the group members look like.
    • USA Today
  14. Rules of Engagement
    The sentiments here are thoroughly semper fi, but the result occasionally works at cross-purposes.
  15. Return to Me
    But there is a satisfying, old-fashioned "Moonstruck" sensibility at work, one that will be appreciated by folks who like their beef corned and their movies cornier.
  16. Ready to Rumble
    Here's ringside entertainment for those who think TV wrestling is too intellectual and restrained.
  17. Black and White
    Sometimes laughably incoherent.
    • USA Today
  18. The Road to El Dorado
    This is one Road whose gold apparently got paved over.
    • USA Today
  19. The Skulls
    When it comes to being brainless, The Skulls is at the head of the class.
    • USA Today
  20. High Fidelity
    Isn't all that romantic and is only half as funny as it thinks it is.
    • USA Today
  21. Here on Earth
    Earth to Earth's young director, Mark Piznarksi : It's tough turning straw into gold, isn't it?
    • USA Today
  22. Waking the Dead
    Spanning the counterculture '70s to the more career-oriented '80s and doing justice to neither decade, this event-heavy adaptation of Scott Spencer's novel may give viewers whiplash.
  23. The Color of Paradise
    Seductively pastoral but also a bit slight, the movie saves its best scene for the very end.
    • USA Today
  24. Whatever It Takes
    Didn't work this time, David. Maybe next season.
  25. Romeo Must Die
    A plodding, play-it-safe rendition of "The Family Feud."
  26. Erin Brockovich
    A first-rate office comedy of prickly exchanges.
  27. Beyond the Mat
    The match winners and losers may be preordained, but these modern-day gladiators bleed plenty of real blood.
    • USA Today
  28. Final Destination
    Proudly stupid, silly and gory.
    • USA Today
  29. Mission to Mars
    You can feel the movie going wrong in the first scene.
  30. The Ninth Gate
    The script is so bereft of real surprises that it's best to keep the lid on what few there are.
