  1. Lost and Delirious
    Equally earnest and unconvincing.
  2. Hidalgo
    If it weren't for Sharif's extraordinary presence, there wouldn't be a cherishable moment in the movie.
  3. My Best Friend's Wedding
    The story isn’t bright enough or grand enough to contain all of Roberts’s star power.
  4. Grass
    It has as much of an ax to grind as the humorless and misguided bureaucrats it mocks.
  5. Very Bad Things
    It never makes you laugh that hard. Not even close. And so the thing becomes a bloody assault on the senses that commingles atrocity with tedium.
  6. Love Me If You Dare
    It's a nasty piece of work about two nasty pieces of work.
  7. Mona Lisa Smile
    Like the turtleneck cashmere sweaters and girdles that tie down these promising women, the movie is trite and trussed.
  8. Timeline
    Time travels, but it sure doesn't fly by in this debacle.
  9. S1m0ne
    Each plot twist trumps its predecessor into ludicrousness.
  10. Hulk
    Belabored, ostentatious, overlong behemoth.
  11. The Big Bounce
    A film so boring, unsexy, styleless, sluggish and physically ugly that its badness seems almost intentional.
  12. Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood
    What is perhaps most disappointing about this ham-handed film, though, particularly since it was directed by the screenwriter of the righteously raging "Thelma and Louise," is its crypto-misogyny.
  13. First Daughter
    One hackneyed, inauthentic, predictable scene after another.
  14. Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed
    As little as there is to recommend in Scooby-Doo 2, it must be noted that the human cast has done an uncanny job of inhabiting their two-dimensional characters.
  15. The Peacemaker
    Between them, Clooney and Kidman would still need a third party to work up a personality. In fairness to both, they aren't given much to work with.
  16. Bright Young Things
    The movie, alas, is shackled somewhat by Waugh's original, pedestrian plot, which is too full of discrete incidents and slow to form an overarching story.
  17. In the Cut
    Although Ryan is cannily cast against type, she doesn't bring much more than muttery incoherence and nudity to the role.
  18. Stuck on You
    Viewers anticipating side-splitting guffaws will be disappointed: Stuck on You is a strangely lackluster, flaccid string of fitfully humorous episodes.
  19. Twisted
    A nasty, formulaic and unforgivably obvious procedural.
  20. Serendipity
    The ultimate in deja viewing:an overfamiliar and exasperating game of cat-and-mousie.
  21. The Replacement Killers
    Adolescents are too grown-up for this blasted nonsense.
  22. I Spy
    Moves at a glacial pace.
  23. The Final Cut
    Cut-and-dried sci-fi thriller.
  24. Ghost Ship
    Doesn't orchestrate the scares with much finesse.
  25. Saved!
    If you're mocking holier-than-thou-ness, you can't very well strike a hipper-than-thou tone.
  26. A Slipping-Down Life
    As a whole, the film is a perplexing, dark and brooding exercise, which only makes its inappropriately cheery ending feel all the more slight.
  27. Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle
    Two-hour exercise in chaotic action and coarse, annoyingly coy sexuality.
  28. Daredevil
    For the most part, Daredevil doesn't take a single dare; it travels the road much trod, even if it's through the midtown air.
  29. The Girl Next Door
    Nothing in this film makes any sense, and Stuart Blumberg, David T. Wagner and Brent Goldberg's script merely gets more preposterous as it elaborates on its implausible premise.
  30. Gods and Generals
    Less a movie than a meticulously, tediously accurate Civil War reenactment committed to celluloid.
