  1. Sex Tape
    Sex Tape is warmer and more amusing than its ads would lead one to believe. In fact, it’s almost good enough, leaning a little too hard on the innate likability of stars Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel.
  2. Deadgirl
    Has more fantastically blunt, clunky, and downright laughable teen-sex dialogue per minute than anything this side of Larry Clark.
  3. My Uncle Rafael
    An insufferable import indebted to "Mrs. Doubtfire" in which a man in prosthetics helps a family cope with, and overcome, divorce.
    • 36 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    America So Beautiful
    As much as the film would like to blow the lid off immigrant misery, it deals only in caricatures.
  5. Body Shots
    Vomitous.
  6. This Thing of Ours
    Danny Provenzano's mafioso melodrama is the immoral vanity project to end immoral vanity projects.
    • 36 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    Maestro
    Would be all but unbearable without the excited testimony of the young men and women of color who'd spent their happiest nights at the Loft or the Gallery or Paradise Garage.
  8. After The Fall
    The movie's flaws — silly plotting and unconvincing psychological groundwork — are Klein's doing.
  9. Pan
    Jackman occasionally wins a laugh, when he manages to impose himself over the movie's restless clamor.
  10. 10th & Wolf
    A hellish and unconvincing celebration of badda-bing-ness.
  11. The Hot Flashes
    The raunchy, feminist-revenge jokes are the best part of this feel-good, you-go-ladies sports comedy.

    I'm Reed Fish
    Short of pulling a Zach Braff, there's one sure way to get known as a screenwriter: Put your actual name in the title of the script.

    Fly Me to the Moon 3D
    This sketchily conceived and executed space yarn is one missed opportunity after another.
  14. My Name Is Bruce
    The only things missing from this unfunny Campbell love fest are a passable script, Sam Raimi's inventiveness, and a level of sophistication beyond nose-picking and ass grabs.

    Cradle 2 the Grave
    Li barely has enough lines to qualify for a SAG card.
  16. 8 ½ Women
    The deeply ridiculous 8 1/2 Women could have been made only by a cranky dotard.
  17. Assassin's Creed
    The Assassin's Creed movie is about all the parts you might skip in the games.
  18. I Am Happiness on Earth
    I Am Happiness on Earth's script is mostly filler between explicit, intensely choreographed sex acts.
  19. Conan the Barbarian
    Squeamish types may balk, but the gory cruelty on display here is faithful to the source material and deeply thrilling.
  20. Solace
    This paranormal cops-versus-serial-killer procedural is never not ridiculous, but it's often entertaining as well.
  21. Lady in the Water
    It's as if on some semiconscious level, Shyamalan, who I do not doubt is a serious and self-serious pop-creative original, is calling his own success into question and daring his audience to gulp down larger and spikier clusters of manure, just to see if they will. Or he's lost his mind.
  22. That Awkward Moment
    While it's easy to tease first-time writer-director Tom Gormican's raunchy rom-com, the trio has a shaggy chemistry, and most of the jokes hit.
  23. Blind
    Moore’s and Baldwin’s forceful personalities power their performances, and these evenly matched partners have now invigorated both a convoluted thriller (The Juror) and a predictable romance (Blind).

    A Tale of Two Pizzas
    Writer-director Vincent Sassone makes your mouth water with his lovingly photographed images of freshly baked pizza but turns your stomach with extra-cheesy dialogue and an inconsistent narrative.
  25. Serena
    Screenwriter Christopher Kyle touches on hot-button issues of class conflict, land use, and no-holds-barred capitalism. He also strips Serena of moral ambiguity, turning deeply twisted relationships into a doomed romance where transgressors punish themselves.
  26. Bounce: Behind the Velvet Rope
    Mindless, shoddy (lurching zooms, no color correction, an entire reel out of sync) depiction of some very big guys who work as bouncers.
  27. Buddy Boy
    Mark Hanlon's ridiculous and repellent hash of "Repulsion" and "Psycho," with scenic elements of "Seven" thrown in for good measure.
  28. Who Is Cletis Tout?
    This charmless nonsense ensues amid clanging film references that make "Jay and Silent Bob's Excellent Adventure" seem understated.
  29. Captain Corelli's Mandolin
    Ms. Cruz...once again proves her inability to give a bad performance even under the worst of circumstances.
  30. Party Monster
    Party never gets rolling.
