    Couples Retreat
    First-time feature director Peter Billingsley could have enlivened the action with more vigorous editing. Everything takes too long, and the slapstick sequences are particularly lethargic.

    Grown Ups
    Indeed, despite occasional attempts at plot and character, this is basically a roast with scenery.

    Side Effects
    The movie maintains its sense of style throughout, but that hardly matters as the story just gets stupider and stupider.

    Liberal Arts
    Jesse's nobility is one of the primary reasons Liberal Arts is so hard to take.

    Red Dawn
    The new Red Dawn's body count is as high as its predecessor's. But the fatalism in all of Milius' projects - even the silliest ones - has weight. That's not the case with the remake, whose portrayal of violence derives more from video games than from history.

    Playing for Keeps
    Style can be a risky thing in a movie like this, which aspires above all to inoffensiveness. Originally titled "Playing the Field," which was deemed too racy, this rom-com would have been more aptly renamed "Running Out the Clock."

    The Divide
    As the loosely aligned band of survivors turns into a pack of sociopathic loners, the only reasonable conclusion is that they were all pretty rotten to begin with.

    G.I. Joe: Retaliation
    What's the difference between an action figure and an action star? Very little in G.I. Joe: Retaliation, which features no performances of note, even from such combat-tested thespians as Bruce Willis, Jonathan Pryce and Dwayne Johnson.
