    • Metascore: 21
    • Joe Neumaier 20
    Robert Luketic's bland action comedy focuses on the uninteresting relationship between its two bland main characters, and that's the deadliest thing in sight.
    • Metascore: 50
    • Joe Neumaier 20
    An epic example of muddled storytelling, chintzy excitement and scatter-brained execution.
    • Metascore: 43
    • Joe Neumaier 20
    To call MacGruber"a total bomb is a bit much, but this comedy-action flick sure feels like it was put together with gum, shoelaces and a couple of sticky Twizzlers.
    • Metascore: 66
    • Joe Neumaier 20
    Kick-Ass - based on a graphic novel - thinks it's so brave and bold. But it's more like the title character, a dweeb who just thinks he's tough.
    • Metascore: 44
    • Joe Neumaier 20
    The Losers is simply a lot of low blows, telegraphed each and every time.
    • Metascore: 54
    • Joe Neumaier 20
    The Tracey Fragments is a grating stunt that plays like a film-school project, cutting a bland story into a million tiny irritating pieces.
    • Metascore: 31
    • Joe Neumaier 20
    This is one of those films in which almost every element is done in such an embarrassingly amateurish way, you want to put it out of its misery.
    • Metascore: 70
    • Joe Neumaier 20
    A documentary with too much dead time between the arduous tasks at hand, never grabs a viewer because -- sad to say -- it's too dull.
    • Metascore: 49
    • Joe Neumaier 20
    Throughout, Davidson's intentions are honest but become lost in a haze of overly familiar story beats.
    • Metascore: 43
    • Joe Neumaier 20
    Writer-director Sebastian Gutierrez seems to think his characters are oh-so-edgy, and maybe they would be -- if it were 1982.
    • Metascore: 51
    • Joe Neumaier 20
    The overlapping stories, the emotional disconnect, the heavy-handed symbolism -- no, it's not a movie from the makers of "Babel," its a mumbling, stammering copycat drama from Swedish director Lukas Moodysson.
    • Metascore: 21
    • Joe Neumaier 20
    John Peaslee's Screenwriting 101-style script has merely left everyone floating on their own.
    • Metascore: 52
    • Joe Neumaier 20
    Only viewers wondering if James Van Der Beek has finally outgrown "Dawson's Creek" will be at all satisfied by this dreadful police procedural that contains good history lessons and bad TV-cop-show drama.
    • Metascore: 49
    • Joe Neumaier 20
    The connection they share is clear; the reason we're invited to sit in is foggy at best.
    • Metascore: 54
    • Joe Neumaier 20
    The title of The Misfortunates ­really applies to any audiences unlucky enough to sit through it.
    • Metascore: 61
    • Joe Neumaier 20
    This fawning appreciation wears thin, despite the good-natured clowning of Alabama dentist/would-be actor George Hardy, who's like a poor man's Bruce Campbell (our apologies to Bruce Campbell).
    • Metascore: 20
    • Joe Neumaier 20
    Unfortunately, its positive attributes are thrown out of balance by its abundant negatives - including chintzy effects, lumbering storytelling and an overstylized, earnest incompetence that evokes "Speed Racer."
    • Metascore: 63
    • Joe Neumaier 20
    The Last Exorcism trods on previously stomped ground and has almost no good jump-outta-your-seat moments.
    • Metascore: 53
    • Joe Neumaier 20
    Has raw action and urgent performances, but loses power due to an amateur approach.
    • Metascore: 28
    • Joe Neumaier 20
    A chatty little bore.
    • Metascore: 73
    • Joe Neumaier 20
    The father is the only one who can leave the house to go to his factory job, and that seems like a paradise for viewers trapped watching this clinically shot claptrap.
    • Metascore: 65
    • Joe Neumaier 20
    Likely to draw a range of responses. Many will be transported by its gorgeous construction and breathless emotion. Others will find it patently ridiculous.
    • Metascore: 30
    • Joe Neumaier 20
    The James Bond parodies and genre riffs feel at least 20 years past their prime, and most will fly right over the heads of audience members 7 and under
    • Metascore: 52
    • Joe Neumaier 20
    This dour, hyperactive family film is joyless, overly busy and starchy.
    • Metascore: 39
    • Joe Neumaier 20
    Most of the acting is amateurish at best, and the tone is vintage "Afterschool Special." But it does aim to be family-friendly, and at least it succeeds there.
    • Metascore: 67
    • Joe Neumaier 20
    Johnson is convincing as a swaggering, jokey Lennon, but the photos of young John, Paul and George that end the movie ultimately have more punch than this bubblegummy montage.
    • Metascore: 26
    • Joe Neumaier 20
    It's finally here: The most boring alien-invasion movie ever.
    • Metascore: 56
    • Joe Neumaier 20
    It doesn't help that Eastwood's laconic style is as torpid as it was in such misfires as "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil" and "Changeling."
    • Metascore: 24
    • Joe Neumaier 20
    Half-assed, halfhearted attempt to copy the Farrellys' out-there style is missing both their jackassical riffs and their heart.
    • Metascore: 46
    • Joe Neumaier 20
    This tonal mishmash cripples The Dilemma almost immediately, though there are many other speed bumps, including Vaughn's irritating, fast-talking prattle.
