  1. Unfaithful
    At what point in the movie is it too late to ask for your money back?
  2. Dinosaur
    The occasional big moments are stunning, and kids from the ages of, say, 6 years to 6 years and 3 days will love it. Anyone younger will be scared; anyone older, bored.
  3. Bedazzled
    A mite sluggish.
  4. The Big Red One
    Though 45 minutes longer than the original release, still feels thinner, less complex, more mythic and far less compelling.

    EuroTrip
    The producers of this mediocre movie ...had a story line rife with potentially good material and instead chose to let bathroom humor, lewd scenarios and gratuitous nudity color their European landscape.
  6. Old School
    A dumb guy comedy about dumb guys by dumb guys and for dumb guys.
  7. Unforgiven
    If Eastwood had any emotional depth as an actor, the character's anguish might come through.
  8. Pitch Black
    You are allowed to come up with a monster we haven't seen before.
  9. Shrek 2
    One wishes the same wit and energy had gone into the story. That's Shrek 2 in a nutshell -- very pretty to look at, very hard to care for.
  10. Saints and Soldiers
    Despite all the life-threatening situations, warrior deaths and heroic feats, it's hard to get behind characters who feel like lazy archetypes.
  11. Shall We Dance
    Occasionally charming but ultimately forgettable bit of fox-trot fluff.
  12. Vanilla Sky
    For all the filmmakers' efforts, this project is something of an artistic albatross. It's a conundrum that doesn't get answered until a sort of help-the-audience Cliffs Notes final scene, in which we learn Everything. But by then, more than a few of us may be wondering, was it all really worth the trouble?
  13. Eight Crazy Nights
    Isn't appropriate for any innocent child -- assuming such lovely creatures still exist. But boys and girls who enjoy surprise attacks in their entertainment (of the aforementioned toilet variety) are going to have a blast. Sad but true.
  14. Before Sunset
    All foreplay and no climax.
  15. Chocolat
    I can only bestow this adaptation of Joanne Harris's bestselling novel with such faint praise as "pleasant" and "mildly disarming."
  16. De-Lovely
    Despite a subject of immense potential -- the movie's surprisingly uninvolving.
  17. Raise Your Voice
    The movie is going to be fine for PG-ready audiences, assuming they don't have a problem with extremely predictable story turns.
  18. The Sea Inside
    I remained strangely dry-eyed up to the final shot.
  19. Secret Things
    A tolerably silly lark, decorated with lots of tasteful (and exclusively female) nudity. Yet as Christophe's role expands -- and the soundtrack's classical flourishes become more strident -- the film's plausibility plummets.
  20. The Bourne Supremacy
    I had some trouble with the plot, but I'm not the only one -- so did the screenwriter.
