  1. Deterrence
    There's nothing super about the movie, aside from a loopiness that affords it a certain guilty-pleasure cachet.

  2. What Planet Are You From?
    Nichols usually can lure A-list casts to even C-grade projects, and this is no exception.
  3. Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai
    The movie is still too solemn.
    • USA Today
  4. Drowning Mona
    The bad-taste murder farce is just an excuse for a bunch of actors to go slumming and ride about in - ha, ha - Yugos.
    • USA Today
  5. The Next Best Thing
    Funny how Madonna borrows Everett, Julia Roberts' gay pal from "My Best Friend's Wedding," and Bratt, Roberts' real-life beau, to be her co-stars. If only she could borrow her talent.
  6. 3 Strikes
    Interspersed between the misogyny and flatulence jokes apparently left over from Pooh's co-written script for "Friday," there's a story about an ex-con.

  7. The Closer You Get
    It is tough to fight off the ennui created by this comedy.
  8. Mifune's Last Song
    An unusual walk down the aisle.
  9. Wonder Boys
    Droll mild amusement.
  10. Reindeer Games
    As late Christmas presents go, Reindeer Games is best left unwrapped.
  11. Judy Berlin
    Tightly constructed and controlled.
    • USA Today
  12. Pitch Black
    Nothing really fun, scary or exceptionally gross occurs.
  13. Hanging Up
    This is about Meg. Only about Meg. Meg in the Middle.
    • USA Today
  14. The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg
    A model of what a largely talking-heads documentary should be, with on-camera testimonials and lots of film clips that offer layers of context.
    • USA Today
  15. The Whole Nine Yards
    A comedy without much zing but with an occasional zing-er that enables the film to pick up . . . well, if not nine yards, maybe an inch or two on the gridiron.
  16. Boiler Room
    Shouldn't be overrated, but it's the first film of the year - and it's mid-February already - capable of keeping a grown-up awake.
    • USA Today
  17. The Tigger Movie
    The story isn't a grabber.
  18. Cotton Mary
    Increasingly piquant tale of culture clash in 1954 post-independence India.
    • USA Today
  19. Snow Day
    Unless you have a craving to watch a sluggish Ski-Doo race or want to admire Chase dressed as a hula dancer, consider this the cinematic equivalent of yellow snow.
  20. The Beach
    Murky, pretentious and torturously inert.
    • USA Today
  21. Gun Shy
    Can't stars attract better scripts than this?
    • USA Today
  22. Scream 3
    (Craven) and his Scream dream team have done a frightfully good job of killing off and wrapping up the popular horror series.
  23. The Big Tease
    Pleasing piffle.
    • USA Today
  24. Isn't She Great
    A bottom-rung Bette Midler vehicle disguised as a biopic of novelist Jacqueline Susann, the movie is a wannabe satire shackled by misplaced reverence.
  25. Eye of the Beholder
    Far from being a run-of-the-mill slasher pic.
    • USA Today
  26. Supernova
    Good actors seem plastic and plastic actors seem worse in a knockoff of every rocket-ship movie you've ever seen.
  27. My Dog Skip
    A family movie with a heart and a brain. And if you aren't moved to tears, you might need an organ transplant.
  28. Next Friday
    But most of the humor is about as fresh as the air left behind whenever Witherspoon uses a toilet.
  29. Fantasia 2000
    Still a one-of-a-kind mind-blower.
    • USA Today
  30. The Hurricane
    Epic in nearly every way, The Hurricane has the power to blow you away.
