  1. Happily N'Ever After
    Director Paul J. Bolger and screenwriter Rob Moreland have drained the affectionate wit out of the Shrek franchise's satire, giving us instead a barely sketched out story line and quantities of unimaginative CGI.
  2. Field of Lost Shoes
    The film stands as a pinnacle of revisionist bullshit.
  3. Eternity: The Movie
    The jokes are slow and obvious, and the editor lingers over every one like a sleepy drunk over a basket of tater tots, stoically holding the shot long after any reasonable person would have concluded that a punchline had occurred.
  4. Supremacy
    [A] dour, dreary drama.
  5. Lost in Florence
    While writer-director Evan Oppenheimer's tale of love, sport and Italian culture captures the landscape with a pleasant sheen and certainly makes Florence look like a lovely vacation destination, its narrative contains little emotional pull and too few surprises.
  6. Chronically Metropolitan
    Director Xavier Manrique’s film fails to drum up more than clichés about rich-people problems.
  7. The Bag Man
    The trouble is that Grovic's attempts to generate suspense by keeping character identities and motivations unknown leaves the proceedings feeling vague and slapdash.
  8. White Hotel
    Griffin and Solvang's obliviousness, and the filmmakers' habit of mugging condescendingly while conducting interviews doesn't help either.
  9. A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III
    With neither the moral bite of satire nor a voluptuary surrender that really basks in shallowness, this is a vague, unsatisfying work.
  10. Hangar 10
    Found-footage horror flicks laboriously source the provenance of every shot, letting us know which camera each image comes from, but they demand that we never wonder who has edited those images together — and to what purpose.
  11. Deck the Halls
    Though DeVito and Chenoweth bring a rough plebeian charm to the proceedings, it's nothing short of tragic to see the great Ferris Bueller relegated to grimacing straight man.
  12. Gentlemen Broncos
    Hess deserves credit, I suppose, for so effectively channeling his inner seven-year-old. Personally, I preferred spending two hours in the company of Spike Jonze's.
  13. Rage
    You may feel some anger if you pay to watch this. Or you may not, as Rage offers exactly what you think a Nic Cage movie called Rage would, except maybe for continually inspired lunacy.
  14. Survivor
    The overarching sense is of a thriller awkwardly stitched together in the editing room, and still failing to fix its many flaws.
  15. McCanick
    [A] numbingly inert series of dirty-cop clichés that abruptly builds to an ephemerally poignant climax.
  16. Hemingway's Garden of Eden
    Director John Irvin, whose hapless 40-plus-year résumé runs from early Schwarzenegger to late Harold Pinter, never gets in the way, but the resulting sangria cocktail is mild, unchallenging, and kinda dull.
  17. Tyler Perry's A Madea Christmas
    The funniest Madea film in a fair stretch... It's also, of course, not good by any definition.
  18. Pixels
    Here's a shocker: In Pixels, his latest, Adam Sandler plays a stunted man-child who turns out to be very, very special.
  19. The Gospel According to Philip K. Dick
    Writers are only interesting for what they've written, and for that you'll have to go read.

    Head Over Heels
    Head Over Heels is dopey but nontoxic. If you are 17, there are worse date movies.
    • 27 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Pokémon Heroes
    The pied piper of shameless kiddie-marketing strikes for the fifth time in as many years.
    • 27 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Rockets Redglare!
    A bloated, intermittently coherent mess.
  23. Stranded
    Trite dialogue, stock characters, and bad-to-middling special effects make Stranded more tedious than scary or nerve-wracking.
    • 27 Metascore
    • 20 Critic Score
    Peep World
    Thick with stale "We're Jewish!" and inconvenient-boner jokes, the film's a post-"Office," shaky-cam sitcom pilot stretched to feature length.
    • 27 Metascore
    • 30 Critic Score
    The Perfect Man
    The result is like a Nike commercial without a shot of the sneakers.
  26. Last Knights
    While Kiriya can shoot a sword fight, his preferred pace is glacial. He wants to make sure the audience feels every plot point.
  27. Sweet November
    If the movie works on its own insipid level, it's because of high-gear star power -- 50 times the captivator Dennis ever was, Theron is terrific at creating adorable intimacy with little help from the script or director and exudes more guileless élan than any of the film's many puppies.
    • 27 Metascore
    • 40 Critic Score
    Revoloution
    Proving the old adage about the road to hell, Revoloution at least has its heart in the right place.
  29. Delgo
    You'll just wonder why this isn't a video game you can actually play.
  30. Garfield
    No one can accuse Garfield: The Movie of infidelity to its source: It faithfully conveys the banality of Jim Davis's cartoon.
