  1. Super Troopers
    The best thing about the movie is its personable, amusing cast, all members of the five-man comedy troupe Broken Lizard. There's a chemistry among them, which obviously comes from having been together as comedians at Colgate University.
  2. The Village
    The Village yields a trick ending quite lame, quite tame and quite old; Rod Serling thought of it 40 years ago and he did it better.
  3. As Good as It Gets
    Gets bogged down in sentimentality, while its wheels spin futilely in life-solving overdrive.
  4. Space Cowboys
    An implausible action adventure with the most geriatric payload since a community of retirees lifted off in "Cocoon."
  5. The Saint
    Though he is a master thief with a heart of gold, the new Templar has all the charm of one of those ladies behind the counter at the Department of Motor Vehicles.
  6. Man on the Moon
    All credit to Carrey, whose one-man performance is almost enough to redeem the movie.
  7. The Green Butchers
    It's the sick humor that's most appealing about this odd little Danish film.
  8. Bringing Out the Dead
    Doesn't pack the punch of Schrader and Scorsese's career-best collaborations ("Raging Bull," "Taxi Driver").
  9. Gangs of New York
    Under its scope and reach and passion, Gangs of New York is pretty ordinary stuff.
  10. The Butterfly Effect
    With a surprisingly unhappy, anti-Hollywood ending that will appeal to those who like things dark.
  11. John Q
    Gripping, if manipulative and somewhat preposterous, drama.
  12. We Don't Live Here Anymore
    Like the bad fight that ends the bad marriage: ugly, messy, loud, sometimes incoherent, but ultimately necessary. You're glad when either of them -- the marriage or the movie -- is over.
  13. Malibu's Most Wanted
    Wanted isn't quite the real Slim Shady of hip-hop comedies. But you might lose yourself in a few of its amusing moments.
  14. The Passion of the Christ
    Controversial, yet undeniably powerful.
  15. Once Upon a Time in Mexico
    However many millions of dollars Rodriguez set aside for blanks and exploding squibs was a waste. Depp's salary, on the other hand, was money well spent.
  16. Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story
    Modestly amusing teen summer comedy.
  17. No Such Thing
    Burke's face is impressively scaly, his head is adorned with shorn horns. He makes a great monster. If only he had a better movie to growl in!
  18. 28 Days Later...
    Creepy and truly suspenseful in some places, unintentionally comic or plain awful in others.
  19. The Assassination of Richard Nixon
    Only moderately compelling.
  20. The Forgotten
    An uneasy mix between "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and the "The X-Files," and one not nearly as smart as either.
  21. You Got Served
    A thinly written, hoarily cliched story that serves mostly as connective tissue between the movie's chief draw, its dazzling dance sequences.
  22. Alexander
    Enjoyable in some places, but dreadful in others. It's boring here and exciting there. And it's almost always goofy.
  23. Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid
    Still manages to one-up its predecessor, 1997's unintentionally campy "Anaconda."
  24. Camp
    Occasional clumsiness is easily coated over by the movie's overarching goodwill.
  25. The Chronicles of Riddick
    Threatens to become a serious movie, but they're quickly overwhelmed by another indecipherable rampage or outsize visual effect.
  26. Coffee and Cigarettes
    The skits that comprise Coffee and Cigarettes aren't fully realized short pieces as much as riffs or fragments; their appeal is mostly in their stars.
  27. Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star
    The movie has been made with consummate carelessness but with occasional moments of knowing humor.
  28. Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights
    Has its modest charms.
    • 50 Metascore
    • 50 Critic Score
    Home on the Range
    Charming as it can be, though, Home on the Range is still an overextended cartoon.
  30. In Good Company
    Good points aside, In Good Company is a bland, occasionally phlegmatic pastiche of cliches and dull encounters.
