  1. Fame
    Offers about as much flava as a Dr. Pepper commercial and about as much drama as a “Sesame Street” rerun.

  2. Ninja Assassin
    This amateurish action flick is so lacking in personality or punch, it ought to be titled "V for Video Store Discount Bin."

  3. Old Dogs
    Old Dogs is so oafish, when it tosses us a biscuit, it feels like we've been smacked with a newspaper.

  4. Edge of Darkness
    Here most of the punishment is inflicted on the audience, which gets nailed to a cross of boredom.

  5. Our Family Wedding
    Director Rick Famuyiwa did much better when focusing just on African-American culture in films such as "Brown Sugar" and "The Wood." Here, in bringing together two cultures, he does neither any favors.

  6. Clash of the Titans
    In the new Clash of the Titans, the effects are computerized, the hero is questionable and, instead of an owl, we get a turkey.

  7. The Last Song
    Sadly, The Last Song is badly out of tune with real filmmaking.

  8. The Losers
    Whether you're betting on action or laughs, this is a lose-lose scenario.

  9. The Back-up Plan
    With movies like this, Lopez might want to start leaving low-end romantic comedies alone and look at her movie career's backup plan.

  10. Furry Vengeance
    The message that needs to be posted at the theater door is "No trespassing."

  11. Survival of the Dead
    A bland family-feud potboiler with no sign of the cook.

  12. Grown Ups
    Nobody escapes unscathed, except, of course, for Sandler, who co-wrote the infantile screenplay.

  13. The Last Airbender
    A toxic potion that will put children to sleep and kill his (M. Night Shyamalan) career.

  14. Charlie St. Cloud
    It's more like a shelved episode of "Touched by An Angel." The sappy script is a disservice to the naturally effervescent Efron, whose character is so mopey he makes Robert Pattinson seem like a song-and-dance man.

  15. The Virginity Hit
    If The Virginity Hit had been filmed as a straightforward sex comedy, it could've been a riot.

  16. The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
    An utter shipwreck, a would-be adventure with meager rations of magic and a listless crew.
  17. Little Fockers
    If instead of story and characters, your movie wish list includes projectile vomiting and erection gags, this lump of coal has your name on it.
  18. Gulliver's Travels
    Loosely - very loosely - based on the classic Jonathan Swift story, "Gulliver's Travels" begins promisingly but quickly loses its way.
  19. I Am Number Four
    The cheap, indifferent, teen-alien thriller I Am Number Four delivers none of the spectacle of a competent sci-fi film, none of the emotion of an effective teen romance and none of the giggles of a kitsch fiasco.
  20. Hall Pass
    Like the middle-aged dads in this flaccid fiasco, Hall Pass is a decade behind the curve of what's happening.
  21. Red Riding Hood
    Such a sorrowful attempt to resurrect the marketing magic of "Twilight" that it ought to be titled "Career Eclipse."
  22. Hop
    It's supposed to be sweet, but Hop is a headache waiting to happen.
  23. Did You Hear About the Morgans?
    Given the creator and the cast, "Morgans" is as drearily predictable as a plague of locusts.
  24. Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides
    On Stranger Tides has the fishy smell of something washed ashore and sold as new. But this shipwreck isn't worth a wooden doubloon.
  25. Green Lantern
    The spectacular collapse of Green Lantern is bound to be blamed on Reynolds, but the villainy has its origins in an injustice league of TV-trained screenwriters and tin-hearted studio suits.
    • Metascore: 48
    • Critic Score 38
    Glee: The 3D Concert Movie
    The result is more like a long commercial than a cohesive movie, and the omissions are glaring.
  27. Johnny English Reborn
    For anyone expecting the second coming of Clouseau, Johnny English Reborn is a karmic catastrophe.
  28. Happy Feet Two
    The best thing you could say about Happy Feet Two is that it doesn't have any product placements or potty jokes. Other than that, this charmless Antarctic cartoon is what it looks like when hell freezes over.
  29. Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows
    As in the first "Sherlock Holmes" movie, there are plenty of pratfalls and bare-knuckle brawls but no sleuthing for us to share.
  30. Joyful Noise
    Nothing more than uninspired mushiness.
