| | Catwoman (2004): Halle Berry is the lone bright spot, but even she can't save this laughable action thriller. |
| | A Man Apart (2003): Action and drama elements don't mix well in this cliched actioner. |
| | Norbit (2007): Though Eddie Murphy gives it his all, Norbit's material is crass and largely unfunny. |
| | Slackers (2002): Another teen comedy with little on its mind but moving to the next gross-out gag, Slackers strains for laughs and features grating characters. |
| | Say It Isn't So (2001): Those that haven't tired from Farrelly brothers' brand of comedy may still find some laughs here. Otherwise, the slow pacing and unimaginative shock gags will start to wear on the viewer. |
| | Taxi (2004): Silly and unfunny remake of a French movie of the same name. |
| | I Dreamed of Africa (2000): The straightforward retelling of Kuki Gallman's life in Africa neither moves or entertains the viewer. |
| | Juwanna Mann (2002): With its tired premise, Juwanna Mann's jokes fall flat |
| | First Daughter (2004): First Daughter is a bland and charmless fairy tale that fails to rise above the formula. |
| | Urban Legends: Final Cut (2002): This teen horror movie brings nothing new to an already exhausted genre. And it's bad. Really bad |
| | The Number 23 (2007): Clumsy, unengaging, and mostly confusing, The Number 23 fails as both a psychological thriller and a Jim Carrey career move. |
| | Elektra (2005): This comic book movie is an inert muddle that takes itself much too seriously |
| | White Noise (2005): While there are some built-in scares, the movie is muddled and unsatisfying. |
| | Darkness Falls (2003): A derivative movie where the scares are few and things don't make much sense. |
| | Gods and Generals (2003): Filled with two-dimensional characters and pompous self-righteousness, Gods and Generals is a long, tedious sit. Some may also take offense at the pro-Confederate slant. |
| | Kangaroo Jack (2003): The humor is gratingly dumb, and Kangaroo Jack contains too much violence and sexual innuendo for a family movie. |
| | Stealing Harvard (2003): There are laughs Stealing Harvard, but they are few and far between. Tom Green's antics grow old fast. |
| | A Sound of Thunder (2005): Choppy logic and uneven performances are overshadowed by not-so-special effects that makes the suspension of disbelief a nearly impossible task |
| | The Skulls (2000): The Skulls is full of nonsense and empty of good script and plot. |
| | Underclassmen (2005): Despite the appealing presence of Nick Cannon, Underclassman is a shopworn Beverly Hills Cop/ 21 Jump Street knockoff. |
| | Man of the House (2005): A high-concept movie that plays out like a mediocre TV sitcom. |
| | Venom (2005): A voodoo horror flick without the mojo, Venom is chock full of gory impalings of interchangeable teenage girls and hunky guys by an unstoppable zombie whose unimaginative rampage quickly lulls us to sleep. |
| | My Boss's Daughter (2003): Offensive, incoherent, and ineptly acted and directed. |
| | See No Evil (2006): See No Evil is packed with cliches from countless other teen slasher films, making for a predictable, scare-free waste of time. |
| | The Wash (2001): Sloppily-made, amateurish, and scarce on laughs, The Wash can't compare to Richard Pryor's 1976 Car Wash. |
| | Out Cold (2001): A party movie that substitutes surfs for snow, Out Cold will leave viewers just that with its gross-out humor and sophomoric plot. |
| | Basic Instinct 2 (2006): One of the least-anticipated sequels of recent years, Basic Instinct 2 is a movie that falls squarely into so-bad-it's-good territory -- or perhaps, so-bad-it's-still-pretty-bad. |
| | Premonition (2007): An overly obtuse potboiler that borrows charmlessly from "Memento," "The Sixth Sense," and "Groundhog Day." |
| | Dragonfly (2002): A promising premise ruined by sap and absurdities. |
| | Surviving Christmas (2004): Surviving Christmas is unpleasant characters attacking each other for 90 minutes before delivering a typical, hollow anti-consumerist message |
| | The Reaping (2007): The Reaping is schlocky, spiritually shallow, and scare-free with its use of cheap, predictable jolts. |
| | The New Guy (2002): Incoherent, silly, and unoriginal, The New Guy offers up the same old teen gross-out comedy cliches. |
| | Lost Souls (2000): Though Kaminski's film is visually stylish, Lost Souls is just another derivative entry in the Apocalypse genre, with lackluster direction, unengaging characters, and no scares. |
| | Boat Trip (2003): Too stupid and groan-inducing to be funny. |
| | Date Movie (2006): Memo to would-be parodists: referencing other movies is not the same as satirizing them. |
| | Deck The Halls (2006): As far as movies about bickering neighbors during the Christmas holiday go, the predictable Deck the Halls is pretty mediocre, with hardy anything to cheer about. |
| | Chill Factor (1999): Claiming it fails on every level, critics had almost nothing good to say about this movie. |
| | Ultraviolet (2006): An incomprehensible and forgettable sci-fi thriller, Ultraviolet is inept in every regard. |
| | Undiscovered (2005): Undiscovered, a film about aspiring actresses and musicians, lacks originality and a convincing plot. |
| | Jawbreaker (1998): This throwaway comedy falls victim to its hip sensibilities. |
| | Stay Alive (2006): A by-the-numbers teen horror flick, Stay Alive fails to exploit its premise for any real scares |
| | Gray Matters (2007): Gray Matters tries emulating Hollywood screwball classics, but the rapid fire dialogue and witticisms comes off only as a contrived gimmick. |
| | The Order (2003): A religious thriller that's more lethargic and silly than thrilling. |
| | I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998): Boring; predictable. |
| | Doogal (2006): Overloaded with pop culture references, but lacking in compelling characters and plot, Doogal is too simpleminded even for the kiddies. |
| | Gigli (2003): Bizarre and clumsily plotted, Gigli is a mess. As for its stars, Affleck and Lopez lack chemistry. |
| | Envy (2004): Jack Black and Ben Stiller fail to wring laughs from a script that's essentially one extended poop joke. |
| | Yours, Mine & Ours (2004): The initial set-up is unbelievable, the plotting is predictable and stale, and the comedy depends on repetitive pratfalls that soon get old. |
| | Johnson Family Vacation (2004): A bland family-on-the-road comedy reminiscent of Chevy Chase's Vacation movies. |
| | Glitter (2001): Glitter is a hodgepodge of movie cliches and bad acting that's sure to generate unintentional laughs. Unfortunately, the movie is not bad enough to be good. |
| | Cheaper By The Dozen 2 (2005): A sequel to a remake, Cheaper 2 wastes its solid cast in scenes of over-the-top, predictable humor. |
| | Summer Catch (2001): Cliched and predictable, Summer Catch is a reminder of better films. |
| | The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002): The Adventures of Pluto Nash is neither adventurous nor funny |
| | Extreme Ops (2002): The various stunts in Extreme Ops don't compensate for the inane storyline and bad dialogue. |
| | The Forsaken (2001): It's all been done before, and done better. |
| | Universal Soldier: The Return (1999): This movie fails on almost every level from second rate action to bad acting and a formulaic story. |
| | Material Girls (2006): As a film, Material Girls fails to live up to even the limited corporeal goals of its title |
| | Yu-Gi-Oh The Movie (2004): Don't watch the TV show or play the card game? Then this movie is not for you. |
| | The Fog (2005): The Fog is a so-so remake of a so-so movie, lacking scares, suspense or originality. |
| | Supercross: The Movie (2005): While it provides some cool stunts, Supercross' plot is shopworn. |
| | Big Momma's House 2 (2006): Unfunny and unoriginal. In other words, a perfect piece of evidence for opponents of pointless movie sequels. |
| | Code Name: The Cleaner (2007): The affable Cedric is wasted in Code Name: The Cleaner, a limp action/comedy flick which juggles between lame, worn-out jokes and cheesy kung-fu sequences |
| | Swept Away (2002): Muddled and lacking the political context of the original, Swept Away offers further proof that Madonna can't act. |
| | Corky Romano (2001): Corky Romano continues the trend of bad movies featuring SNL members. The jokes are tired and unfunny, and the slapstick feels forced. |
| | Serving Sara (2002): Neither funny nor very romantic, Serving Sara is a forgettable time waster. |
| | The Perfect Man (2005): Preposterous and predictable. |
| | Because I Said So (2007): Because I Said So is an unfunny, cliche-ridden mess that manages to make Diane Keaton temporarily unlikable. |
| | Texas Rangers (2001): As far as westerns go, Texas Rangers is strictly mediocre stuff |
| | BloodRayne (2006): BloodRayne is an absurd sword-and-sorcery vid-game adaptation from schlock-maestro Uwe Boll, featuring a distinguished (and slumming) cast. |
| | Soul Survivors (2001): Soul Survivors' stock characters and utter lack of suspense gives viewers little reason to attempt deciphering the confusing plot. |
| | The Mod Squad (1999): A sodden, overly stylized mess that's even less compelling than a TV episode. |
| | My Baby's Daddy (2004): Full of poop jokes, broad racial stereotyping, and other tired gags. |
| | Darkness (2004): Yet another predictable variation on the hoary old haunted-house movie. |
| | The In Crowd (2000): The In Crowd fails to entertain because of its slow pacing, poor acting and unoriginality. |
| | House of the Dead (2003): A grungy, disjointed, mostly brainless mess of a film |
| | Down To You (2000): Down to You is ruined by a bland, by-the-numbers plot and an awful script. |
| | Happily N'Ever After (2007): Happily N'Ever After has none of the moxy, edge, or postmodern wit of the other fairy-tales-gone-haywire CG movie it so blatantly rips off. |
| | Fear Dot Com (2003): Stylish, incoherent mess with few scares. |
| | Son of the Mask (2005): Overly frantic, painfully unfunny, and sorely missing the presence of Jim Carrey. |
| | Bless the Child (2000): Bless the Child doesn't scare, but may provoke unintended laughter from audiences. It's basically a B-movie. |
| | Rollerball (2002): this 2002 remake features LL Cool J, Chris Klein, and a script possibly written by monkeys. Director John McTiernan, perhaps realizing what he had to work with, seemingly times the explosions to mask the cruddy dialogue and distract from the asinine plot, but it isn't enough. |
| | The Whole Ten Yards (2004): A strained, laugh-free sequel. |
| | Christmas With The Kranks (2004): A mirthless comedy as fresh as last year's fruit cake. |
| | Baby Geniuses (1999): Flat direction and actors who look embarrassed to be onscreen make Baby Geniuses worse than the premise suggests. |
| | The Covenant (2006): A fangless teen warlock pic, The Covenant takes the 'super' out of supernatural. Oh, and let's not forget the word "natural," since the film's stars may be good-looking, but their acting has been charitably described as 'wooden.' Add to that an absence of scares and pervasive homophobia, and you've got one of the year's worst. |
| | Deuces Wild (2002): A forgettable effort that leaves no cliches unturned. |
| | Battlefield Earth (2002): There are few, if any, redeeming qualities for Battlefield Earth. Critics are singing a near-unanimous rotten song. |
| | Epic Movie (2007): A crude comedy with nothing new or insightful to say about the subjects it satirizes. |
| | Godsend (2004): A murky thriller with few chills. |
| | Zoom (2006): Lacking the punch and good cheer of The Incredibles and Sky High, Zoom is a dull and laugh-free affair. |
| | Half Past Dead (2002): Seagal is now too bulky to make a convincing action hero, and Half Past Dead is too silly and incoherent to deliver any visceral kicks. |
| | The Master of Disguise (2002): The Master of Disguise plays to Carvey's strength at mimicry. Unfortunately, the movie is more painful to watch than is funny. |
| | Twisted (2004): Don't expect any mysteries or thrills in this poorly written thriller. |
| | National Lampoon's Gold Diggers (2004): Aspires to Farrelly-level offensiveness, but the PG-13 rating renders Gold Diggers tame, toothless, and dull. |
| | Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 (2004): Superbabies continues to prove that bad jokes still aren't funny when coming out of a toddler's mouth. |
| | King's Ransom (2005): An utterly inept would-be comedy. |
| | Pinnochio (2002): Torturous. Avoid it like the plague. |
| | Crossover (2006): Like Shaquille O'Neal at the free-throw line, Crossover hit theaters with a resounding clang. Its tale of a promising basketball prospect who must choose between staying true to himself and giving in to the temptations of slimy agents and assorted hangers-on will seem blindingly original to anyone who hasn't seen Hoop Dreams, He Got Game, or even Blue Chips. |
| | Alone in the Dark (2005): Stylish, but inept on almost every level. |
| | Ballistic: Ecks Vs. Sever (2002): Wall-to-wall action without a hint of wit or plot. |
