" The only conceivable way this toxic heap could benefit mankind is if every print were melted down and had its celluloid content rendered into guitar picks."

" To use the obvious metaphor and equate 'Envy' to what Jack Black’s miracle product is designed to clean up would be an insult to the canine digestive system."

0/4
 
" Whoever first had the big idea of revisiting this material should be hung up by his Buster Browns and forced to watch the result -- then he'll know what 'punishment' means."

" Before the opening credits had ended, I was counting down the minutes until I could get back to scraping old tile adhesive off my kitchen floor."

0/4
 
" ... So bad that it rockets through the gauntlet of insipidity and tastelessness and emerges on the other side to become good, only to ricochet off the wall of cinematic decency and become bad all over again."
Posted Jul 30, 2003
 
Bad Boys II (2003)24%

0/4
 
" The best I can say of this sinking ship is that it’s an equal opportunity offender: there’s something here to infuriate you whether you’re a heterosexual, homosexual, black, white, Hispanic, Swedish, Swiss, aristocrat, Joe Sixpack, disco diva, war veteran"

" Sinfully tasteless cinema was everywhere in 2001 - but this movie is so bad it's Freudian."

0.5/4
 
" It's rough going when our heroes have us longing for the complexity of the riverboat crew from 'Anaconda.'"

.5/4
 
" The title tells all. To hell with it."

Jackass: Number Two (2006)61%
/
.5/4
 
" So boring, derivative and patently inane that hate is entirely too strong an emotion to attribute to it. You're either in the target demographic or you're not."
Posted Aug 16, 2005
 
Boogeyman (2005)13%
/
.5/4
 
" As humorless, lazy and oppressively inane as anything since any one of the witless car chase movies that derailed Burt Reynolds’ career not long after the original wrapped."

The Longest Yard (2005)30%

.5/4
 
" One of those barbarically unfunny romps that would be over in less than 10 minutes if just one character had an IQ higher than a cherry Pop-Tart."

King's Ransom (2005)0%

0.5/4
 
" With Ashley Judd above the title, no cookie-cutter contrivance is unaccounted for, no performance betraying the hint of any effort beyond showing up on the set. "

" In all its harrowing witlessness, it ironically proves the healing power of laughter."

My Baby's Daddy (2004)4%

0.5/4
 
" ... a shrill, soulless and disturbing void of imagination that murders the spirit of a beloved children's book -- which the filmmakers obviously have not read."
Posted Nov 23, 2003
 
Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat (2003)12%

" 'Grind' rather economically describes the experience for anyone above age 11 who wanders into this skateboarding 'Rad' retread for 'jackass' fans."

" Should sheer boredom or an advanced state of masochism compel you to see the film, try this instead: Take seven $1 bills and methodi-cally shred them into pieces of equal size. You’ll end up with an expensive bowl of green confetti — and an infinitely mor"

" Urination can be funny. So can severed ears, folliculitis, rock-climbing trophy wives, chest self-exams and owls that drink from the toilet. Occasionally, even a massive head wound can be funny. None of these things are funny in 'My Boss’s Daughter.'"

My Boss's Daughter (2002)8%

" Our culture is headed down the toilet with the ferocity of a frozen burrito after an all-night tequila bender — and I know this because I’ve seen 'jackass: the movie.'"

" This mind-numbing comic void never generates enough electricity to brown an English muffin."

" Lohan can be good in characters endowed with a glimmer of intelligence. But too often she shoehorns herself into vehicles operating under the fallacy that stupidity is cute."

" David Zucker, who once had one of the most supple comic touches in the business, has turned into the chowderhead who keeps elbowing you in the ribs asking, 'Get it? Get it?'"

Scary Movie 4 (2006)38%

" 'Annapolis' is a neatly pressed, mirror-shine drone -- so impeccably mediocre we get the feeling somebody cheated on the entrance exam."

Annapolis (2006)10%

1/4
 
" No level of noble intent by the filmmakers can compel me to recommend a work of cinema that's this cheap, simplistic and sloppy."

End of the Spear (2006)43%

1/4
 
" A dour, humorless, clunky, reductive, insulting diatribe on race relations, masquerading as a kidnap melodrama. Or maybe it's the other way around."

Freedomland (2005)24%

" Not one character has the emotional maturity of an English muffin. If we could harness the intellectual energy of everyone involved in this, we could toast one. Lightly. "

" I've made bologna sandwiches that inspired more enthusiasm."

" Michael Bay should have been strung up by his Buster Browns for getting the Big Idea of exploiting the DeFeo tragedy for a new generation. Let this family rest in peace."

" 'Are We There Yet?' is an eerily appropriate title for cinema’s first authentic endurance test of 2005."

" Whipping a battery at the screen would have accomplished nothing -- but I haven't ruled out a drive to LA so I can whip a battery at Oliver Stone."

Alexander (2004)16%

1/4
 
" A cartoon sponge and starfish playing fisticuffs with a marauding biker on David Hasselhoff's live-action backside is the most asinine image I've ever seen at the movies."

" Being neither 12 years old nor endowed with X chromosomes, all that held my attention was wondering what in the holy underwear Paul Williams was doing up there."

Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (2004)27%

" ... a mean, nasty, mostly laughless 104 minutes spent in dogged pursuit of an ironic cause that’s as subtle as a falling gargoyle’s head."

Ladykillers (2004)55%

" I cried 'Please, Lord, make it stop' at about the 90-minute mark -- long after I was numbed into a vegetative state by reheated spy cliches and sub-sophomoric bathroom jokes."

Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London (2004)12%

1/4
 
" ... Nothing if not fluffy -- but oddly, egregiously offensive in ways far more insidious and damaging than merely wasting our time."

Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen (2004)13%

" ... a curious form of cinematic matricide worthy of kabuki drama is being committed here — the offspring is rising up to disembowel its celluloid parent, visiting cruel punishment on Tobe Hooper for the unforeseeable sins that have sprung from the genre h"

" I’m not offended by its singular lack of energy or invention — I never expected more than a cinematic Big Mac when I saw Eddie Mur-phy’s name above the title 'Daddy Day Care.' But what I got was a sandwich from a gas station."

" I don’t like being lied to. I don’t like being cheated. I don’t like being manipulated by a filmmaker willing to negate his entire story for the sake of cleverness or a cheap thrill. It should come as no surprise that I didn’t like 'The Life of David Gal"

" Another of the three or four obnoxious, race-baiting flops Hollywood routinely seems to tolerate from Martin Lawrence between can’t-miss blockbusters such as “Big Momma’s House” and “Bad Boys.”"

" If you’ve spent every waking moment since the summer of 1991 pining for a 'New Jack City' with a salsa soundtrack, your cinematic savior has arrived."

Empire (2002)22%

" Whether the film 'works' is a question in direct correlation to willingness to set aside preconceptions of logic, characterization or ambition - and tolerance of Tom Green."

Stealing Harvard (2002)8%
