    • Metascore: 52
    • Lou Lumenick 25
    A lame teen comedy.
    • Metascore: 35
    • Lou Lumenick 25
    Hollywood's Thanksgiving turkey arrives today - 27 days early - in the gobbling guise of the heavily hyped, brain-dead comedy, I Spy.
    • Metascore: 43
    • Lou Lumenick 25
    It's not a bad premise for a movie, but writer-director Omar Naim, a 26-year-old Lebanese native making his feature debut, proves equally inept at handling plotting, actors and pacing.
    • Metascore: 25
    • Lou Lumenick 25
    The often difficult-to-follow plot is sort of "Traffic" for nitwits.
    • Metascore: 46
    • Lou Lumenick 25
    Eric Schaeffer's rip-off -- er, homage -- to "Magnolia," is a marginally better movie than his previous self-absorbed atrocities like "My Life's in Turnaround" and "Wirey Spindell."
    • Metascore: 35
    • Lou Lumenick 25
    This excruciating adaptation of the innocuous '70s cartoon show makes the film version of "Josie and the Pussycats" look sophisticated by comparison.
    • Metascore: 24
    • Lou Lumenick 25
    There's no excuse for a thriller as lame, leaden and unthrilling as Godsend, which manages to take a potentially interesting subject - human cloning - and use it to put audiences to sleep.
    • Metascore: 36
    • Lou Lumenick 25
    Soporific, shamelessly derivative and barely coherent by American standards.
    • Metascore: 59
    • Lou Lumenick 25
    This masturbatory exercise is the least revealing "documentary" since Jerry Seinfeld's "Comedian."
    • Metascore: 34
    • Lou Lumenick 25
    This mostly laugh-and scare-free turkey offers an utterly bored -- and boring -- Eddie Murphy taking a back seat to special effects, elaborate sets and a wispy story slapped together by David Berenbaum (the overrated "Elf").
    • Metascore: 39
    • Lou Lumenick 25
    When Will I Be Loved would rate no stars except for Campbell's brave, totally committed performance -- which deserves a far better movie than this.
    • Metascore: 29
    • Lou Lumenick 25
    This mess was directed with no skill whatsoever by Jesse Dylan, whose father, Bob, once urged us all to get stoned.
    • Metascore: 30
    • Lou Lumenick 25
    The acting is serviceable at best, the direction unfocused - and the special effects and makeup cheesy-looking. This is surely the most dreary-looking film ever shot by the great Vittorio Storaro ("Apocalypse Now").
    • Metascore: 30
    • Lou Lumenick 25
    If you stay awake, you'll certainly feel more than a little ground down after watching perhaps 15 minutes of skateboard footage padded out with nearly 90 minutes of strenuously unfunny toilet humor - all cheaply filmed on a budget that looks as if it would scarcely cover the catering bill for "Gigli."
    • Metascore: 14
    • Lou Lumenick 25
    Arguably the most insipid movie released so far this century.
    • Metascore: 38
    • Lou Lumenick 25
    The movie spins further and further into coincidence and incoherence.
    • Metascore: 47
    • Lou Lumenick 25
    May not set back Danish-American relations, but it's amusing to imagine how this schlock would have turned out under Denmark's most famous director, the American-hating Lars von Trier.
    • Metascore: 23
    • Lou Lumenick 25
    Desperately unfunny and unexciting.
    • Metascore: 16
    • Lou Lumenick 25
    A low-rent, slow-witted horror flick notable chiefly for its hilariously unsuccessful attempt to pass off Luxembourg City as New York City.
    • Metascore: 49
    • Lou Lumenick 25
    Might as well be called "Around the World in 80 Yawns."
    • Metascore: 33
    • Lou Lumenick 25
    It's so incoherent that at first you wonder if the reels are being shown out of order.
    • Metascore: 48
    • Lou Lumenick 25
    A shipwreck. They say a dead fish stinks from the head first - but the animated shipwreck Shark Tale arrives reeking all over.
    • Metascore: 33
    • Lou Lumenick 25
    Shlocky, sloppy and crass adolescent comedy.
    • Metascore: 56
    • Lou Lumenick 25
    A leaden retelling of the legend of Australia's Jesse James that has understandably been sitting on the shelf for a couple of years.
    • Metascore: 9
    • Lou Lumenick 25
    Goes from being tediously terrible to downright gigglesome.
    • Metascore: 68
    • Lou Lumenick 25
    A real head-scratcher that somehow won the grand jury prize at this year's Sundance Film Festival.
    • Metascore: 29
    • Lou Lumenick 25
    No "Schindler's List," to put it mildly.
    • Metascore: 47
    • Lou Lumenick 25
    The low point of the new Shall We Dance comes when Miss Paulina finally confesses why she's so sad.
    • Metascore: 22
    • Lou Lumenick 25
    A loud, coarse and witless family comedy.
    • Metascore: 58
    • Lou Lumenick 25
    It's hard to imagine hardened New Yorkers actually paying to see this totally uncritical, gee-whiz celebration of stock car racing, its fans and its history, breathlessly narrated by Kiefer Sutherland and perfunctorily directed by Simon Wincer.
