    Sorority Boys
    To that long list of third- and fourth-rate comedies we can now add Sorority Boys.
  2. How to Deal
    Another soundtrack-driven, disposable, not entirely objectionable teen movie.
  3. Men in Black II
    Smith and Jones seem like superannuated company men: They're going through the motions, but the zip is gone.
  4. See Spot Run
    Just a few guilty laughs, a predictable resolution and repeated close-ups of that dog jerking its head to one side, doing the cute thing.
  5. Frailty
    The movie is so disturbing that it seems nearly blasphemous. I wouldn't wish it on an anthrax spore. After all, anthrax has feelings, too.
  6. Stigmata
    A vicious anti-Catholic diatribe disguised as an audition tape for MTV.
  7. The Majestic
    It's too manufactured and deliberate to be persuasive.
  8. Lake Placid
    It's laughably stupid, only fitfully scary and relatively harmless summer fun – if you're 12 years old, in which case you probably aren't supposed to be going to movies like this anyway.
  9. Below
    It just never began to work for me, and the sub story behind the ghost story is far more interesting than the ghost story in front of the sub story.
  10. Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde
    Flops where it should zing, trotting out cringe-worthy cliches and hoary plot contrivances and depicting femininity through a drag queen's funhouse mirror.
  11. End of Days
    All fire-and-brimstone bunk, a tired compendium of involuntary crucifixions, grim messages carved into human flesh, fly buzzings, ominous choral chants on the soundtrack and at least one head twisting.
  12. I Capture the Castle
    Could have been a sensation if a director with a smidgen of moviemaking instinct had taken the helm.
  13. Senseless
    There's more bathroom and slapstick humor than a sixth-grader could stand, and a veritable flood of drool, blood and less mentionable effluvia, most of it courtesy of Mr. Wayans as he tries to be – you know – funny.
  14. Club Dread
    About as funny as malaria.
  15. Titus
    There's something hideously pretentious about the whole thing.
  16. Rugrats Go Wild
    The exuberance of the Rugrats seems nullified by the effete quirkiness of the Thornberrys.
  17. The Scorpion King
    Ultimately undone by its sheer busyness. The screenwriters never get the story to settle down, and it becomes a case of one damn thing after another.
  18. Agent Cody Banks
    If you only live twice, spend both lifetimes avoiding it.
  19. Duplex
    This is a one-note deal, and it doesn't take long before you want to, well, just move out and leave these characters in their rent-controlled limbo.

    The Trip
    The movie's heart is in the right place, but good intentions can't overcome dialogue that alternates between melodramatic and cliched.
  21. Die, Mommie, Die!
    What's strangest, though, about Die Mommie Die! is how material that was obviously so giddily irreverent in origin became so inert, so joyless and dull.
  22. What a Girl Wants
    It's uninspired and insipid all the way.
  23. Star Trek: Nemesis
    An offering so endearingly lame it seems to have missed the past 10 years' worth of special-effects breakthroughs.
  24. Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles
    This latest, utterly gratuitous chapter in the saga of the wisecracking reptile hunter will add nothing to the ever-dimming reputation of the Subaru pitchman.
  25. The King Is Alive
    Becomes a strung-together collection of interesting, semi-interesting, boring and sometimes embarrassing (seemingly improvised) moments from the cast.
  26. For Love of the Game
    The baseball half of the story just slightly works. ... Nothing in [the other] half of the film works.
  27. Evolution
    The insane casting: When was the last time Julianne Moore cracked you up?
  28. Bride of the Wind
    A fascinating premise. And yet, the movie, directed by Bruce Beresford, never quite blooms.
  29. Torque
    The loudest, trashiest, stupidest, cheesiest celebration of ritualized male aggression of 2004.
  30. Loser
    A second-rate romantic comedy.
