  1. Testosterone
    Tedious.
  2. Double Take
    Most of the comedy, such as it is, consists of the uppity Chase acting "street" and the ghetto-fabulous Tiffany putting on moneyed airs. But, if you've seen the trailers, you already know that.
  3. Suspect Zero
    A grisly, depraved and wholly uninvolving exercise in empty mannerism.
  4. Braveheart
    A rambling disappointment.
  5. Dragonfly
    Hatched by screenwriters watching "The Sixth Sense" on methamphetamines
  6. Gigli
    Guys, I'm telling you: Don't go to this movie! It's "Chasing Amy" with guns! You're walking into a trap! This is for fans of the holy couple, but they already know that.
  7. She Hate Me
    The most misguided, ill-conceived and lamentable film.
  8. Proof of Life
    Proof of Life isn't a movie. It's an overpriced scrapbook.
  9. The Family Man
    Nothing more, or less, than a cheap, dirty grab at our Christmas spirit.
  10. The Man Who Cried
    The driving drama of such a desperate situation is lost in the movie's casting silliness.
  11. Thirteen Ghosts
    Tries to combine humor with ghostly horror but excels at neither.
  12. Big Daddy
    Dismal. Lame. Not funny.
  13. The Out-of-Towners
    There was absolutely no reason to make a new version of the 1970 comedy.
  14. Saving Silverman
    Let's accentuate the positive: Saving Silverman really stinks. No, really. It's bad. Awful.
  15. National Security
    To call Lawrence a poor man's Richard Pryor libels not just Pryor but also the 33 million Americans currently living under the poverty line.
  16. When Will I Be Loved
    It's trivial and narcissistic and ultimately rather sordid.
  17. Power and Terror: Noam Chomsky in Our Times
    Its important if inflammatory message will bore all but Chomsky's fellow travelers to death.
  18. How High
    The drug-fueled romp turns ugly, sexist and misogynistic, as so many rap-star vehicles do.
  19. Faster
    A loud, choppily edited and surprisingly unengaging portrait of speed demons.
  20. Alias Betty
    The good news might be that Huppert wasn't available for Alias Betty, but the bad news is that it didn't stop France from exporting yet one more cold, pretentious, thoroughly dislikable study in sociopathy.
  21. Baby Geniuses
    The laughs are few, far between and pretty darn faint in this comedy.

    Grind
    A lightweight skating story/road-trip film, is apparently the best it can do, which is to say, not good at all.
  23. Payback
    We're supposed to adore Gibson's sang-froid and his toughness, but everything, a few good lines aside, is so witless and monotonous it becomes numbing.
  24. Wet Hot American Summer
    Stumbles right out of the gate and never regains its footing. It's sad to see a gifted comedian like Janeane Garofalo trying, but failing, to anchor this mediocre affair.
    • Washington Post
  25. The King and I
    Even the Richard Rich-directed animation -- except for some nice but gratuitous computer-generated walking statues and dramatic ocean waves -- is not appreciably better than Saturday morning cartoons.
  26. Malèna
    Feels more like "Porky's" with marinara sauce than "Summer of '42."
  27. Stealing Harvard
    Here's the best thing about Stealing Harvard: A dog bites Green in the crotch for a really long time. Priceless.
  28. American History X
    A mousy little nothing of a picture.
  29. Human Traffic
    I'd rather sit in bumper-to-bumper hell on I-495 for two hours than get caught in Traffic again.

    Vegas Vacation
    After a somewhat promising opening, the movie falls flat.
