The shenanigans of randy soccer moms and their obnoxious blowhard husbands are intended as comic relief. But the sappy plot of this formulaic romantic comedy is just as silly as its inane attempts at farce.- Posted Dec 6, 2012

Audiences deserve a resounding "mea culpa" for the embarrassing dreck, masquerading as comedy, in The Guilt Trip.- Posted Dec 18, 2012

Despite its collegiate setting, 21 and Over is pretty much for people with an IQ of 21 and under.- Posted Feb 28, 2013

So sadistic and disturbing, Games is easily the toughest movie to sit through since 1994's "Natural Born Killers."- Posted Mar 19, 2013

Family Weekend is the kind of dark-for-dark's sake, wannabe quirkfest that proves indie films can be just as clichéd and vapid as the most soulless Hollywood movies.- Posted Mar 28, 2013

Never was a film so visually stunning and so intolerable as To the Wonder.- Posted Apr 11, 2013

It's an unrelentingly brutal movie set in an unusually scenic locale — the coastal city of Valparaiso, Chile.- Posted May 10, 2013

Nothing about this rote exercise feels remotely fresh. It's a re-tread of the 2009 original, sans the inspired lunacy.- Posted May 22, 2013

The comedian's braggadocio here is more wearying than that of the most self-absorbed rapper. And worse, it comes at the expense of humor. -

You know something is wrong when a preschooler's unwitting ad-libs are funnier than anything seasoned comedy writers can come up with. Kids say the darnedest things. Too bad the grown-ups don't. -

It tries hard to be sexy, mysterious and dangerous, but ends up laughably inscrutable. -

A moviegoer's nightmare. The story is incoherent, inane and interminable. -

Even by teen gross-out movie standards Van Wilder makes "Sorority Boys" look like "Some Like It Hot." -

In "There's Something About Mary," the gross gags were hilarious. Here, they're just vile. -

Lacking even a hint of humor or a watchable story, Disguise has distinguished itself as the summer's worst movie. -

That a group of creative people chose to direct their energies on this repulsive spectacle simply provokes disgust. -

An embarrassing debacle...the rare movie that never seems to take off, but also never seems to end. It tries hard to titillate, but ends up making audiences want to avert their eyes. -

Neither side is worth rooting for in this ridiculous blood feud, which features some of the year's most laughable dialogue. -

Should the desire to see a clever zombie movie strike, try the recent remake of "Dawn of the Dead" or last year's "28 Days." -

For a comedian (Allen) who often seems to be calling it in, he's more lackluster than usual. Curtis is a bigger disappointment, especially after "Freaky Friday," in which she was funny, smart and cheeky. -

In this Amityville, the performances are bad, the special effects ho-hum, and it's not even particularly scary. -

A good script is the most essential ingredient for a good movie. Hiring a comedian isn't enough. -
-
-
Claudia Puig 25
The premise is misbegotten, the chemistry non-existent and the dialogue leaden. Did we mention how tediously the plot unfolds? -

The 1992 phenomenon was creepy, tense and sexually charged in a bold yet tawdry way. This sequel lacks even a shred of those elements. -

School for Scoundrels will only leave you scratching your head in bewilderment and might possibly shave off IQ points. -

Claudia Puig 25
The film tries to be stylish and slick, but is mostly just nasty and blood-drenched. Piven, so funny in other film roles and on TV's "Entourage," overdoes it here, and extended scenes of his debauchery grow excessive and thuddingly dull. -

Claudia Puig 25
It's so derivative, unfunny and thuddingly bad that it's one of the more cringe-inducing movies of a genre chock-full of clunkers. -
