  1. Keeping the Faith
    Even surly moviegoers may discover how pleasant it can be to actually like movie characters.
    • USA Today
  2. 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
  3. 28 Days
    Far too familiar.
    • USA Today
  4. Where the Money Is
    Easygoing and easy to take, the movie isn't much.
  5. East Is East
    A robust family comedy that saves its wildest moments for a climactic "get-together."
    • USA Today
  6. 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
  7. Rules of Engagement
    The sentiments here are thoroughly semper fi, but the result occasionally works at cross-purposes.
  8. 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.
  9. Ready to Rumble
    Here's ringside entertainment for those who think TV wrestling is too intellectual and restrained.
  10. Black and White
    Sometimes laughably incoherent.
    • USA Today
  11. The Road to El Dorado
    This is one Road whose gold apparently got paved over.
    • USA Today
  12. The Skulls
    When it comes to being brainless, The Skulls is at the head of the class.
    • USA Today
  13. High Fidelity
    Isn't all that romantic and is only half as funny as it thinks it is.
    • USA Today
  14. Here on Earth
    Earth to Earth's young director, Mark Piznarksi : It's tough turning straw into gold, isn't it?
    • USA Today
  15. 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.
  16. The Color of Paradise
    Seductively pastoral but also a bit slight, the movie saves its best scene for the very end.
    • USA Today
  17. Whatever It Takes
    Didn't work this time, David. Maybe next season.
  18. Romeo Must Die
    A plodding, play-it-safe rendition of "The Family Feud."
  19. Erin Brockovich
    A first-rate office comedy of prickly exchanges.
  20. Beyond the Mat
    The match winners and losers may be preordained, but these modern-day gladiators bleed plenty of real blood.
    • USA Today
  21. Final Destination
    Proudly stupid, silly and gory.
    • USA Today
  22. Mission to Mars
    You can feel the movie going wrong in the first scene.
  23. The Ninth Gate
    The script is so bereft of real surprises that it's best to keep the lid on what few there are.
  24. Deterrence
    There's nothing super about the movie, aside from a loopiness that affords it a certain guilty-pleasure cachet.
    • USA Today
  25. What Planet Are You From?
    Nichols usually can lure A-list casts to even C-grade projects, and this is no exception.
  26. Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai
    The movie is still too solemn.
    • USA Today
  27. 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
  28. 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.
  29. 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.
    • USA Today
  30. The Closer You Get
    It is tough to fight off the ennui created by this comedy.
