" It's a lot like a bad movie once removed, which is to say that it's exactly the kind of bad movie that characters in a movie sometimes go to see."
Posted Jun 4, 2002
 
Enough (2002)21%
/
.5/5
 
" So monstrously awful that it will probably make a fortune, spawn sequels and cause a mania for gags involving projectile-vomiting babies."
Posted Dec 2, 2008
 
Four Christmases (2008)24%
/
.5/5
 
" What transpires is everybody's guess, and all of it leads to what may take the blue ribbon for the least exciting climax ever to festoon a horror picture."
Posted Nov 5, 2008
 
The Haunting of Molly Hartley (2008)3%
/
.5/5
 
" The ad campaign for Saw V assures the viewer, 'You won't believe how it ends.' This is true, because you won't believe it could possibly be this lame."
Posted Oct 30, 2008
 
Saw V (2008)14%
/
.5/5
 
" Every time one of these Friedberg-Seltzer movies is released the sum total of human knowledge is reduced."
Posted Sep 2, 2008
 
Disaster Movie (2008)2%
/
.5/5
 
" Heightened suspicions of the decline of civilization became inescapable this past Friday when Adam McKay's Step Brothers oozed its way into theaters."
Posted Jul 30, 2008
 
Step Brothers (2008)54%
/
.5/5
 
" Junk science meets even junkier filmmaking in Expelled -- a no more shameless, stupid and loathsome piece of propaganda has ever skulked its way into the theater."
Posted Apr 22, 2008
 
Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed (2008)10%
/
.5/5
 
" Merely an excuse for the viewer to delight in the hilarity generated by Mr. Cable Guy breaking wind, vomiting, producing various gastric noises, etc."
Posted Feb 27, 2008
 
Witless Protection (2008)0%
/
.5/5
 
" It's marketed as a supernatural romantic comedy. The problem is that it's neither very romantic, nor comedic -- and things aren't appreciably better on the supernatural front."
Posted Feb 5, 2008
 
Over Her Dead Body (2008)16%
/
.5/5
 
" The film's directors, David Moreau and Xavier Palud, bring nothing new to the table, and they aren't even particularly adept at reheating the leftovers."
Posted Feb 5, 2008
 
The Eye (2008)22%
/
.5/5
 
" Messrs. Friedberg and Seltzer make their annual locust-like descent on theaters leaving a trail of ruthlessly murdered brain cells in their wake."
Posted Jan 30, 2008
 
Meet the Spartans (2008)2%
/
.5/5
 
" 116 minutes of tedium punctuated with outbursts of tastelessness."
Posted Oct 10, 2007
 
The Heartbreak Kid (2007)30%
/
.5/5
 
" Legislation needs to be passed guaranteeing that any movie in which Dane Cook appears will find his character smacked in the face with a shovel and dumped into an open grave."
Posted Sep 26, 2007
 
Good Luck Chuck (2007)3%
/
.5/5
 
" The laughs never stop only because they never start. In fact, I can't remember the last time I laughed so little."
Posted Sep 19, 2007
 
Mr. Woodcock (2007)13%
/
.5/5
 
" It's a toss-up as to whether September Dawn is more offensive as history, as allegory or simply as lousy self-important filmmaking."
Posted Aug 29, 2007
 
September Dawn (2007)13%
/
.5/5
 
" Doesn't attain the acute awfulness of last week's Bratz -- but also lacks the grim 'end of civilization as we know it' fascination of that discharge of dumbness."
Posted Aug 15, 2007
 
Daddy Day Camp (2007)1%
/
.5/5
 
" Everything about the movie exists in a hermetically sealed vacuum of stupidity."
Posted Aug 8, 2007
 
Bratz: The Movie (2007)7%
/
.5/5
 
" Absolutely nothing to recommend the film as anything other than a sagging collection of predictable clichés and brain-numbing boredom."
Posted Aug 1, 2007
 
Brooklyn Rules (2007)47%
/
.5/5
 
" All this witless tastelessness is headed toward happiness for all concerned. Their happiness will not equal yours when you see the credits finally rolling."
Posted Jul 11, 2007
 
License To Wed (2007)8%
/
.5/5
 
" Perhaps best enjoyed by persons who have been lobotomized. After the first 30 minutes (I'm being generous), you may well feel like you have been."
Posted May 16, 2007
 
Delta Farce (2007)3%
/
.5/5
 
" You might think that after Kennedy proved capable of emptying every theater in the civilized world with his last two vehicles someone would have said, 'Enough!' But no."
Posted May 2, 2007
 
Kickin' It Old Skool (2007)3%
/
.5/5
 
" Bears no relation to the old 1985 sequel, which hardly matters since The Hills Have Eyes II is perfectly capable of being a rancid crapfest on its own merits."
Posted Mar 28, 2007
 
The Hills Have Eyes II (2007)11%
/
.5/5
 
" Nothing spells funny like someone in a fat suit -- unless, of course, it's someone in a fat suit suffering from flatulence. That's the ne plus ultra of comedy."
Posted Feb 14, 2007
 
Norbit (2007)9%
/
.5/5
 
" Anyone going to a PG-13 horror film called Blood and Chocolate thinking that it's going to be good has serious reality issues."
Posted Feb 1, 2007
 
Blood and Chocolate (2007)11%
/
.5/5
 
" Even in the realm of oversized animal movies, this is a singularly appalling effort."
Posted Jan 17, 2007
 
Primeval (2007)17%
/
.5/5
 
" The scene of faux flames burning in front of a city bus will go down in the annals of Le Cinema du Frommage."
Posted Jan 10, 2007
 
Thr3e (2007)6%
/
.5/5
 
" This is strictly 'Teenagers as Meat on the Hoof 101' stuff -- only more idiotic than usual."
Posted Dec 6, 2006
 
Turistas (2006)15%
/
.5/5
 
" A box of Christmas movie clichés wrapped in tired slapstick and tied up with a bow made of trite lessons about the 'true meaning of Christmas.'"
Posted Nov 29, 2006
 
Deck the Halls (2006)6%
/
.5/5
 
" Made for an audience that actually thinks Beavis and Butthead were meant to be desirable role models."
Posted Sep 27, 2006
 
Jackass: Number Two (2006)61%
/
.5/5
 
" This inane film is definitely a wayward canine in need of an animal-control officer."
Posted Sep 13, 2006
 
The Covenant (2006)3%
/
.5/5
 
" One of the most amateurish essays in excruciating tedium I've encountered in a year that's hardly lacked for tedium. "
Posted Aug 30, 2006
 
How to Eat Fried Worms (2006)57%
/
.5/5
 
" Zoom is a bad movie. It's badly written, badly directed, badly acted, badly edited, badly scored and beyond badly overdubbed."
Posted Aug 16, 2006
 
Zoom (2006)2%
/
.5/5
 
" When our screening started, there were 12 people and a dog in attendance. Before it was over our number had dwindled by nine, and the dog had fallen asleep. "
Posted Jul 19, 2006
 
You, Me and Dupree (2006)22%

.5/5
 
" I honestly cannot think of anything worse that has been made in between the time the Lumiere Brothers photographed a train pulling into a station in 1895 and today."
Posted Jul 19, 2006
 
Little Man (2006)13%
/
.5/5
 
" This movie is mediocrity incarnate. Watching it I felt brain cells leaping to their deaths like so many lemmings."
Posted Jun 21, 2006
 
Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties (2006)11%
/
.5/5
 
" R.V. isn't just a bad movie; it's more than that, it's symptomatic of a kind of bad movie that seems to be proliferating like cinematic cockroaches."
Posted May 3, 2006
 
RV (2006)23%
/
.5/5
 
" Makes one long for the sophisticated wit of Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo, which should tell you most of what you need to know."
Posted Apr 12, 2006
 
The Benchwarmers (2006)12%
/
.5/5
 
" The very existence of Larry the Cable Guy would seem like a pretty good argument against the concept of Intelligent Design."
Posted Mar 29, 2006
 
Larry the Cable Guy: Health Inspector (2006)6%
/
.5/5
 
" The kind of brutally painful movie-going experience generally associated with the lesser efforts of Rob Schneider."

.5/5
 
" It's boring, then it's nasty, then it's over. That last one is its only saving grace "
Posted Dec 28, 2005
 
Wolf Creek (2005)53%
/
.5/5
 
" When the camera panned to look straight up Ashley Scott's legs, I was morally certain that director John Stockwell had spent his formative years tying mirrors to his shoes."
Posted Oct 5, 2005
 
Into the Blue (2005)22%
/
.5/5
 
" I don't mind that the plotting is as transparent as a roomful of Saran Wrap. what I object to is that this movie is terminally, sleep-inducingly boring."
Posted Sep 22, 2005
 
Cry_Wolf (2005)23%
/
.5/5
 
" With movies like this is it a wonder that all theaters have lacked for most of the summer was the occasional tumbleweed to complete the illusion of their being ghost towns?"
Posted Sep 8, 2005
 
Underclassman (2005)8%
/
.5/5
 
" Bottom line: I get paid to sit through this kind of rubbish. You don't."
Posted Sep 1, 2005
 
Undiscovered (2005)6%
/
.5/5
 
" More like flipping back and forth between ESPN and one of the less-demanding teen-centric TV networks than a movie. "
Posted Aug 24, 2005
 
Supercross: The Movie (2005)5%
/
.5/5
 
" So cosmically god-awful that it raises the bar for such upcoming titles as Dukes of Hazzard, Deuce Bigalow and SuperCross. "
Posted Aug 3, 2005
 
Stealth (2005)13%
/
.5/5
 
" Simply vile, sometimes downright creepy, and it features for its leads two of the most selfish, self-centered, reprehensible and possibly unhinged characters imaginable."
Posted Jun 22, 2005
 
The Perfect Man (2005)5%
/
.5/5
 
" Spurn King's Ransom as you would spurn a rabid weasel. "

King's Ransom (2005)0%
/
.5/5
 
" Samara has been reduced to the ghost in The Grudge -- complete with gastric-distress noises. Apparently, there's no Alka Seltzer in the afterlife."
Posted Mar 24, 2005
 
The Ring Two (2005)20%
/
.5/5
 
" A parade of creepy animated baby effects or almost equally disturbing CGI dog effects, all of which smack more of manic desperation than even passing inspiration. "
