  1. The Wizard
    The Wizard is not only tacky and moribund, but it teaches gambling and bad sportsmanship.
  2. Hercules in New York
    It's a comedy to be laughed at rather than with, largely because the producers decided to dub Arnold's Teutonic voice with that of another actor, one who sounds like he's giving bus departure announcements at the Port Authority Terminal. [30 Jan 1992, p.C7]

  3. Another 48 Hrs.
    The movie isn't a disaster, and if you responded to the first one, its memory may carry you over the roughness, the excessive, ugly violence and lack of conviction here. Hill and his stars are merely going through the motions, but the motions are immensely familiar. If you've been there before, then you've been there.
  4. Furry Vengeance
    The problem, or problems, stem from the lazy, unfunny script; the weak computer-generated animals (never have God's creatures looked less lifelike while dancing to Chic's "Le Freak"); and the squandering of so much talent.
  5. Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo
    It's not Deuce's satisfied clientele, but the audience, that gets the shaft.
  6. Collateral Beauty
    The movie manages to be simultaneously superficial and heartbreaking. That’s no easy feat — nor is it a laudable one.
  7. Jack and Jill
    The unapologetic laziness and ineptitude of Jack's impersonation, which is played for cheap laughs, is just as lazy as Sandler's performance as the real Jill. You don't buy it for a minute.

    Couples Retreat
    Coasts on comic fumes, relying on colloquialisms, foreign accents, racial stereotypes, lemon sharks, Speedos and inopportune erections to supply the funny. Any one of these things might work in a comedy that was less contrived.
  9. Bats
    Hopeless rip-off of Hitchcock's "The Birds."

    Bride Hard
    There’s nothing wrong with a good, dumb comedy, but “Bride Hard” doesn’t even qualify as in-flight entertainment.
  11. For da Love of Money
    For da love of God, spare me.
  12. Ready to Rumble
    Bizarre yet popular.
  13. Turk 182
    Toward the beginning of Turk 182!, Terry the fireman (Robert Urich) brays, "Gimme annudda beeah, Hoolie." Audiences should understand that this is their cue to leave the theater. In the movie's condescending populism, The People are enshrined, The System is scorned. And The People say: phooey. [16 Feb 1985, p.C6]

  14. Formula 51
    Stars Samuel L. Jackson in the worst role of his career -- one hopes.
  15. The Condemned
    It's hard to imagine an audience that won't break up in laughter at this bewildering mixed message: Enjoy this movie, but you really shouldn't be watching it.
  16. Darkness Falls
    A truly awful and extremely loud scareflick.
  17. Beautiful
    Insufferably cloying experience.
  18. Half Past Dead
    Here, common sense flies out the window, along with the hail of bullets.
  19. Eight Crazy Nights
    In this vile contribution to the animated holiday genre, Sandler proves himself once again determined to get rich by setting the bar just a little bit lower each time out.
  20. I'm in Love with a Church Girl
    The intentions for I’m in Love With a Church Girl may have been noble, but nearly every part of the delivery turns out to be flawed.
  21. Lady Beware
    There is a televisiony smallness in its focus -- and while director Karen Arthur treats her story seriously, she has only a rudimentary feel for the medium and fails to bring the suspense elements to a boil.
  22. Love Stinks
    This movie reeks, stinks, smells and destroys life as we know it with one olfactory destructive blast.
  23. Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters
    A rarely funny spoof that's heavy on bone-crushing and blood-gushing.
  24. Hot to Trot
    Hot to Trot is an unbridled disaster, a screwball horseplay so lame you want to put it out of its misery.
  25. The Bounty Hunter
    Slack when it should be tight, dull when it needs to be sharp, The Bounty Hunter represents a failed attempt to make an Elmore Leonard movie without having to pay Elmore Leonard money.

    Reagan
    For a movie about the Great Communicator, “Reagan” communicates surprisingly little.
  27. Dark House
    Salva certainly gets points for creative repurposing. Much of what transpires in Dark House has been seen before, just not all in the same movie.
  28. The Ladies Man
    Another cheesy, overdrawn and witless "Saturday Night Live" takeoff.
  29. Saving Silverman
    One thing the makers of Saving Silverman do not have to worry about: Hannibal Lecter will never visit them to eat their brains. That is because they have no brains.

    Friday the 13th
    When the names of the players flash on the screen in Friday the 13th, it is not so much a list of the cast as a body count. Practically everyone who spends more than five minutes on camera dies horribly -- in close-up. Considering the quality of the acting, most of them deserve no better. [13 May 1980, p.B3]
