ERIC D. SNIDER

Agrees with the Tomatometer 77% of the time.

Biography: I was born and raised in Lake Elsinore, Calif. (it's boring; don't go there!). I graduated from Brigham Young University with a B.A. in journalism, and once killed a guy with my bare hands in a bar fight in Tijuana. I was film critic and various other entertainment-y things for a daily paper in Utah, and now work as a freelance writer. I have a column called "Snide Remarks" that I publish on my Web site, as well as an e-zine (fancy word for "e-mail newsletter") of movie reviews called "In the Dark." In addition to my own site, I write for Film.com and Cinematical. When I grow up, I want to be Scott Weinberg.

Favorites: Memento, Fight Club, Toy Story 2, Mary Poppins, Lord of the Rings trilogy, Raising Arizona, Anchorman, Jaws, Psycho

Publications: Cinematical, DVDTalk.com, eFilmCritic.com, EricDSnider.com, Film.com

Rating	T-Meter	Title \| Year	Add Date (default)

Rotten F	Rotten 5%	Old Dogs (2009)	" Exactly as funny as you'd expect a movie to be that stars John Travolta and Robin Williams as two bachelors who must suddenly take care of precocious 7-year-old twins, and that was directed by the man who made Wild Hogs." — Cinematical Posted Nov 25, 2009
Rotten F	Rotten 6%	All About Steve (2009)	" My biggest surprise is scanning the credits and not seeing the name Wayans or Prinze Jr. anywhere." — Film.com Posted Sep 3, 2009
Rotten F	Rotten 15%	I Love You, Beth Cooper (2009)	" Wants to emulate a John Hughes film, in much the same way that a crack whore wearing a dime-store tiara wants to emulate Queen Elizabeth." — Film.com Posted Jul 9, 2009
Rotten F	Rotten 18%	Dance Flick (2009)	" So to all the world's 8th-graders I say this: Don't give up hope! Keep making the same jokes you're making now, and you may one day be a filmmaker, too!" — EricDSnider.com Posted May 21, 2009
Rotten F	Rotten 18%	New in Town (2009)	" The kind of movie someone would make if they put off their weekend movie-making homework until Sunday night." — Film.com Posted Jan 29, 2009
Rotten F	Rotten 2%	Disaster Movie (2008)	" Embarrassment. It's a feeling you should get used to, Freidberg and Seltzer. May you never befoul another cinema with your grotesque comic abortions." — Film.com Posted Aug 29, 2008
Rotten F	Rotten 13%	College Road Trip (2008)	" I hated every minute of this train wreck." — EricDSnider.com Posted Mar 6, 2008
Rotten F	Rotten 0%	Witless Protection (2008)	" I began hating it not just for its utter lack of quality as art or entertainment, but for the blackness of its very soul." — EricDSnider.com Posted Feb 23, 2008
Rotten F	Rotten 18%	Downloading Nancy (2008)	" In his arduous, sweaty attempt to be 'provocative,' what Renck does instead is make something transparent and fake." — EricDSnider.com Posted Jan 31, 2008
Rotten F	Rotten 2%	Meet the Spartans (2008)	" When the comedy revolution comes, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer will be the first ones shot." — EricDSnider.com Posted Jan 30, 2008
Rotten F	Rotten 1%	Daddy Day Camp (2007)	" The screenplay is attributed to three writers. That means if the film's funny parts were divided evenly among them, they each wrote zero." — EricDSnider.com Posted Aug 7, 2007
Rotten F	Rotten 7%	Bratz: The Movie (2007)	" Bad not for its message or values, but for simply being a flat-out awful abortive trainwreck of a disastrous pile of worthless stupid garbage of an utter mess of a movie, even by the low, low standards of Movies Based on Toys." — EricDSnider.com Posted Aug 2, 2007
Rotten F	Rotten 7%	License To Wed (2007)	" One of the year's worst comedies, and in a year that has already contained 'Norbit' and 'Wild Hogs,' that's saying something." — EricDSnider.com Posted Jul 2, 2007
Rotten F	Rotten 2%	Delta Farce (2007)	" An almost inconceivably bad movie, i.e., it is so bad that it is hard to conceive how someone could have conceived it." — EricDSnider.com Posted May 14, 2007
Rotten F	Rotten 8%	Are We Done Yet? (2007)	" I've never even seen the old Cary Grant version, and yet I know that even if it was the worst film of 1948, it's still 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 times better than Are We Done Yet?" — EricDSnider.com Posted Apr 5, 2007
Rotten F	Rotten 14%	Wild Hogs (2007)	" Why watch this film when you could stay home and put your head in the oven instead?" — EricDSnider.com Posted Mar 2, 2007
Rotten F	Rotten 6%	Deck the Halls (2006)	" So bad it almost makes me renounce Christianity altogether." — EricDSnider.com Posted Nov 22, 2006
Rotten F	Rotten 4%	Material Girls (2006)	" I barely buy them as sisters, let alone as whoever these characters are supposed to be." — EricDSnider.com Posted Aug 24, 2006
Rotten F	Rotten 4%	Zoom (2006)	" Seeing the once-great Chevy Chase reduced to this bug-eyed buffoonery is sad, like watching an old man crap his pants at the grocery store." — EricDSnider.com Posted Aug 14, 2006
Rotten F	Rotten 13%	Little Man (2006)	" The Wayans family's latest dim-witted fart comedy is even worse than its last one" — EricDSnider.com Posted Jul 13, 2006
Rotten F	Rotten 13%	Just My Luck (2006)	" Every single scene is an abominable assemblage of mind-boggling stupidity, completely unmotivated behavior, and unfunny slapstick." — EricDSnider.com Posted May 11, 2006
Rotten F	Rotten 44%	She's The Man (2006)	" The protagonist's stupidity is a powerful, brutish force, a fog that hangs over the entire film like a stench." — EricDSnider.com Posted Mar 16, 2006
Rotten F	Rotten 6%	Big Momma's House 2 (2006)	" *If you thought Big Momma's House* was funny, then two things are probably true: 1) You are stupid. 2) You will also think Big Momma's House 2 is funny.*" — EricDSnider.com* Posted Jan 27, 2006
Rotten F	Rotten 4%	BloodRayne (2006)	" It never occurs to you to think of the film as anything other than a silly swords-and-castles tale, and a particularly ineffective one at that." — EricDSnider.com Posted Jan 8, 2006
Rotten F	Rotten 10%	Venom (2005)	" A lifeless, uninspired horror flick that ought to have been left in whatever hole they found it in." — EricDSnider.com Posted Sep 18, 2005
Rotten F	Rotten 55%	The Devil's Rejects (2005)	" There's nothing worthwhile about a single moment of it, not even in a prurient, I-love-to-wallow-in-debauchery sort of way. It is simply rancid, unbathed, country-fried filth." — EricDSnider.com Posted Jul 22, 2005
Rotten F	Rotten 5%	The Perfect Man (2005)	" I would say the filmmakers must be retarded, but even the mentally challenged know not to center a movie around the idea that Heather Locklear is having trouble finding a man." — EricDSnider.com Posted Jun 22, 2005
Rotten F	Rotten 2%	King's Ransom (2005)	" Mean-spirited, unpleasant comedy about characters who are both nasty and stupid and who deserve every bad thing that happens to them. In fact, they deserve more." — EricDSnider.com Posted Apr 30, 2005
Rotten F	Rotten 23%	Down and Derby (2005)	" Imbecilic, unreasonable and wretchedly unfunny.... The film is 5,580 seconds long, and not one of those seconds is believable." — EricDSnider.com Posted Apr 18, 2005
Rotten F	Rotten 16%	Diary of a Mad Black Woman (2005)	" Displays a blind ineptitude on the level of some of the worst films I've ever seen.... This movie is an absolute train wreck." — EricDSnider.com Posted Feb 24, 2005
Rotten F	Rotten 1%	Alone in the Dark (2005)	" For as busy as this movie is, you'd think it would have more going on. Instead, it's just a big, chewy wad of badness." — EricDSnider.com Posted Feb 7, 2005
Rotten F	Rotten 26%	Anatomy of Hell (2004)	" I hate this movie, but only because it hated me first." — EricDSnider.com Posted Jan 16, 2005
Rotten F	Rotten 21%	Fat Albert (2004)	" Fails in every possible way -- fails to be funny, fails to be interesting, fails to speak to its potential audience. It is, as Mushmouth would say, a pebeece of crabap." — EricDSnider.com Posted Dec 27, 2004
Rotten F	Rotten 5%	Christmas with the Kranks (2004)	" Movies like this make me want to skip everything, including the remainder of my natural life." — EricDSnider.com Posted Nov 27, 2004
Rotten F	Rotten 44%	The Brown Bunny (2004)	" If this is a 'feature film,' then so are your old home movies, or videotapes from a convenience store's security camera. ... It's not just one scene; the whole movie blows." — EricDSnider.com Posted Oct 31, 2004
Rotten F	Rotten 0%	National Lampoon's Gold Diggers (2004)	" By the 30-minute mark, I was praying for the sweet release of death." — EricDSnider.com Posted Sep 20, 2004
Rotten F	Rotten 0%	Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 (2004)	" This is a film so thunderingly unfunny that it makes 'White Chicks' look like 'Blazing Saddles.'" — EricDSnider.com Posted Aug 30, 2004
Rotten F	Rotten 15%	Without A Paddle (2004)	" This is the kind of movie where the centerpiece scene involves dropping poop on people's heads. If that doesn't discourage you from seeing it, I can't imagine anything will." — EricDSnider.com Posted Aug 19, 2004
Rotten F	Rotten 15%	White Chicks (2004)	" It takes a premise that is unworkable to begin with, stretches it so far that no one will buy it, and then utilizes only the stalest and most obvious jokes anyway." — EricDSnider.com Posted Jun 22, 2004
Rotten F	Rotten 12%	New York Minute (2004)	" There is not a minute of it that makes sense. Cause and effect are meaningless. There is no real humor. It is a dour trainwreck of a faux-screwball movie." — EricDSnider.com Posted May 6, 2004
Rotten F	Rotten 6%	Johnson Family Vacation (2004)	" A paralyzingly unfunny and desperate comedy. It dulls the senses and aggravates the mind. There hasn't been a movie this painful to watch since "The Passion of the Christ."" — EricDSnider.com Posted Apr 7, 2004
Rotten F	N/A	Day of Defense (2003)	" Should be considered an embarrassment not just to Mormons, but to film-goers in general." — EricDSnider.com Posted Jun 5, 2004
Rotten F	Rotten 9%	Grind (2003)	" It seems to have been written on a ... dare, to see if a coherent, entertaining screenplay could be written using only the words 'dude,' 'man' and 'bro.'" — EricDSnider.com Posted Aug 17, 2003
Rotten F	Rotten 8%	From Justin to Kelly (2003)	" The notion behind it is as contrived, forced, manipulated and fake as any film ever made." — EricDSnider.com Posted Jun 28, 2003
Rotten F	Rotten 16%	House of 1000 Corpses (2003)	Click here to read article — EricDSnider.com Posted May 3, 2003
Rotten F	Rotten 14%	View from the Top (2003)	" Stinks like it was made by rank amateurs, and particularly incompetent ones, at that." — EricDSnider.com Posted Mar 22, 2003
Rotten F	Rotten 5%	Swept Away (2002)	" Gone are Ritchie's style and wit. Gone is the mischievous sense of fun that pervaded his other films. Here instead are drudgery and inanity." — EricDSnider.com Posted Oct 19, 2002
Rotten F	Rotten 5%	Serving Sara (2002)	" Lame, limp, unappealing, incompetent, clueless -- these are the kindest words I can come up with to describe this film." — EricDSnider.com Posted Sep 18, 2002
Rotten F	Rotten 2%	The Master of Disguise (2002)	" Rarely has such a talented comedian been so wildly out of touch with what's funny." — EricDSnider.com Posted Sep 18, 2002
Rotten F	Rotten 3%	Fear Dot Com (2002)	" It cannot be enjoyed, even on the level that one enjoys a bad slasher flick, primarily because it is dull. Yes, dull." — EricDSnider.com Posted Sep 18, 2002
