  1. The result isn't merely ludicrous, it's something far worse. It's drab. It's uninteresting. It squanders Chan's uniqueness; it could even be said to squander Jennifer Love Hewitt!

  2. Insufferably cloying experience.
  3. It's something no one should watch.
  4. Hopeless rip-off of Hitchcock's "The Birds."

    Mostly, these guys carry on like spoiled children, complaining, roughhousing and badgering women to strip naked.

    There's precious little to listen to, laugh at or ogle in The Wash, a sudsy slog that gets sidetracked by, of all things, a plot.
  5. Doesn't deserve the energy it takes to describe how bad it is.
  6. KEN, KEN, KEN, not another Shakespeare, pleeeeeeez.
  7. A pretty dreary affair to sit through. It's not even scary.
  8. This movie pulls out so many bad-action-movie cliches, you wonder if this is a how-not-to primer.
  9. From opening to closing credits, there isn't a single genuine moment -- as phony as a dime bag of oregano.
  10. Less a movie than an act of vandalism.
  11. The fat cats of Hollywood have coughed up a hairball.
  12. About half a notch above disaster.
  13. It's about women, but as written and directed by a man, it appears to make no emotional sense at all. It treats women like idiots.
  14. A third-rate love story.
  15. This one's a turkey as big as the Eiffel Tower but it's bad in a particularly American way: It's wildly overdone, it throws in everything in an attempt to appeal to everyone, it's gargantuan and anti-logical, pointlessly ornate and pointlessly violent.
  16. It has no moments of athletic grace amid the chaos, no apparent sense of strategy. It's basically just mayhem set to rock music.
  17. Not that much deep thinking went on here.
  18. Neither character seems especially insightful, and their intense focus on the self and the terrific delicacy of their feelings comes to feel narcissistic and annoying.
  19. The most surprising thing about the movie is that somebody bothered to make it in the first place.
  20. A numbingly unfunny romantic comedy. I hated every minute of it
  21. The only way a self-absorbed treatise like this can get any kind of audience (not to mention distribution) is to cast famous people in it.
  22. Godzilla, go home.
  23. Let's not waste any time: This movie is just awful. Prime problem: Josh Kornbluth, the chubby, wild-haired, bug-eyed star.
  24. Terribly tragic, terribly romantic and, ultimately, terribly, terribly dull.

    A two-hour stink bomb, Boxing Helena is a pitifully pervy piece of work.
  25. Let's talk about it quickly, because the thumbs of both my hands have gone similarly crazy. They're pointing downward and refuse to budge until I finish this review.
  26. Screenwriter Lona Williams and director Michael Patrick Jann spare no attempt to show characters at their zaniest, wackiest or most grotesque. The effect is disconcerting. Is this light comedy or dark satire? It ends up being neither.
  27. So dull and formulaic, it ought to be leashed and led directly to the doghouse.
