    WARNING: Do not take your mom to Georgia Rule unless she's Roseanne Barr. You may expect a three-generational chick flick, but what you get is a child-rape comedy.

    Watching I'm Reed Fish is like being forced to read the diary of a dull-witted teen who is breathlessly beginning a lifelong fascination with himself.

    A comedy for no ages, has an amazing amount of CGI - Cuba Gooding Incompetence.

    Even worse than the hacky chick revenge fantasy now showing on channel 186 of your box.

    A comedic sinkhole, a dramatic tundra.

    Good Luck Chuck, a fungal little sex comedy, doesn't need a review. It needs a tube of ointment and a shot of penicillin.

    Shoot ’em up, run ’em over, blast ’em with flame-throwers, who cares? These creatures are only there to go splat.

    Not like a lump of coal in your stocking. Coal is useful; you can burn it. This movie is more like a lump of something Blitzen left behind after eating a lot of Mexican food.

    At 96 minutes, this vanity/insanity project runs a bit long; five minutes would have been plenty.

    If someone ran this guy through a scanner, the readout would say: “Mark down and stock in straight-to-video aisle."

    The year's dullest movie has arrived: the deeply silly Badland, which is as dead as winter and twice as long.

    This film is headed quickly for DVD. In the video store, though, it isn't funny enough to be shelved in the comedy section nor dirty enough to be filed with the smut. It might be useful in propping up a wobbly chair, though.

    88 Minutes holds you in a state of acute suspense, keeping you wondering until the very last minute whether this is the worst Al Pacino movie ever made.

    It's something old, it's something new, it's something borrowed and it's something that blows.

    This adventurously awful film is awful in many ways at once.

    The bad movie in my head was far better than the one on-screen, which offers no twists at all. A twist? There isn't even a curl or a bend.

    I went in expecting to be disappointed, but even so, I was disappointed.

    As usual, Hartnett exhibits the acting ability of linoleum; his performance would not be measurably changed if he lapsed into a coma halfway through. Only an amusing cameo by David Bowie enlivens things, but he's onscreen for just about two minutes at the end.

    A slow ride to nowhere.

    The laughs begin with the excellent title Hamlet 2 - and they end there.

    The movie boasts five Oscar winners. That figure exceeds by five the number of times I laughed at this cheap collection of icky jokes.

    • Kyle Smith 12
    A Liam Neeson thriller so lacking in ambition they should have called it "Paycheck."
    • Metascore: 36
    • Kyle Smith 12
    A grubby cut-price sci-fi thriller.

    For a horny-road-trip flick that's actually funny, check out last year's "Sex Drive," which just came out on video.

    Formerly a real American hero, G.I. Joe is no longer a hero (it's a group) or American. (It's a multinational team of military superstars, though the way it does business, you'd feel safer with the Croatian navy on your side.)

    Love Happens is a weepie about the grieving process, mainly my own.

    Calls to mind Grandpa taking out his dentures and trying to put on a comedy monster show for little kids at Halloween: When he tries to be scary, he's goofy, but when he tries to be goofy, he's scary.

    If anything is frightening here, it's the scenes of the small children being indoctrinated into an organic lifestyle and being made to sing, at least three times, a song about the evils supposedly lurking in the environment around them.
    • Metascore: 47
    • Kyle Smith 12
    Not just a shabby "Wall Street" knockoff clogged with dull, jargon-spewing trading-desk scenes that fail to advance the plot in any way. It's also a nondescript "Sex and the City" retread.

    Someday, The Bounty Hunter and last month’s “Cop Out” will be featured in a cable movie double bill as the two worst 1988 films of 2010.
