0/4 8% Postal (2007) " Boll's self-inflicted dose of Schadenfreude is the only sure shot in this miserable misfire of a satire, which aims for "campy," but hits "crappy" instead." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted May 30, 2008
0/4 75% Naissance des Pieuvres (Water Lilies) (2008) " Unfortunately, this is not a satire like Dr. Strangelove -- it's a documentary in which talking heads spout pseudoscientific claptrap that comes across as all wet." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Apr 18, 2008
1/5 32% Freshman Orientation (2007) " Theatres showing it will likely have as many conspicuously empty seats as the classrooms and barrooms in this picture, which was apparently shot on such a shoestring that they couldn't even get enough extras to fill a set." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Sep 15, 2007
1/5 1% Daddy Day Camp (2007) " Here's to hoping that the pint-sized thespians who play those kids -- barely blessed with names, let alone personalities -- don't mistake the lame lessons of the adults around them on the set of Daddy Day Camp as a master class in comedic acting." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Aug 10, 2007
1/5 5% Delta Farce (2007) " That the second half of Delta Farce is a half-assed rip-off of the vastly superior Three Amigos is only one sign the Blue Collar boys have, to borrow one of the film's few funny lines, "more problems than a Cub Scout at Neverland Ranch."" — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted May 14, 2007
1/5 21% The Invisible (2007) " A 'thriller' with no mystery and no suspense whose doltish detective can't even track down his own soon-to-be-dead body, the only award The Invisible is likely to contend for is Cheesiest Use of a Death Cab for Cutie Song in a Teen Movie." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Apr 30, 2007
14% Hitman (2007) " Only the deadpan delivery of Timothy Olyphant as Agent 47 enlivens the wooden dialogue of this collection of clichés masquerading as a silver-screen adaptation." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Apr 3, 2008
71% Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour (2008) " Not a prime example of the musical documentary genre." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Feb 6, 2008
48% Run Fatboy Run (2007) " It's as if [director David] Schwimmer managed to shoot himself in his foot with the starter's pistol." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jan 18, 2008
15% The Amateurs (The Moguls) (Dirty Movie) (2005) " Potential laughs are largely lost due to the one-note nature of the characters." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Dec 7, 2007
42% The Golden Compass (2007) " The action sequences are the only outstanding aspect of this less-than-golden adaptation, which is ultimately undermined by its strictly tinny storytelling." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Dec 3, 2007
31% Black Irish (2007) " The problem with Black Irish is that, like those photos shifted to cover the holes, not everything is hanging in quite the right place here." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Oct 25, 2007
33% Music Within (2007) " Unfortunately, the cast and crew of Music Within don't get much of their own music out here -- at best, they hum a few bars of an off-key tune." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Oct 25, 2007
0% Living the Dream (2006) " "Will you stick with me, no matter what?" Brenda asks on more than one occasion. Unfortunately for the filmmakers, the audience's answer may well be "no."" — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Dec 1, 2006
1.5/5 57% Turn the River (2008) " Hopefully, more moviegoers will catch a performance as promising as this Turn in another rack." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Oct 18, 2008
1.5/5 —— Mattie Fresno and the Holoflux Universe (2008) " Ultimately, Mattie Fresno and the Holoflux Universe is a movie about big ideas that is simply too constrained by its theatrical staging necessitated by an apparently small budget." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Oct 17, 2008
1.5/5 0% The House of Adam (2006) " That fishy smell? Itâ(TM)s a sign that this merchandise is well past its sell-by date." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Sep 5, 2008
1.5/5 24% Fierce People (2005) " Griffin Dunne and Dirk Wittenborn think they're pretty clever." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Sep 15, 2007
1.5/5 15% The Brothers Solomon (2007) " It's bad enough that Odenkirk can't wring a single laugh out of cameos by funny folks like Jenna Fischer (TV's The Office) or Bill Hader (Superbad), but it's simply astonishing how he squanders Kristin Wiig." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Sep 7, 2007
1.5/5 23% Balls of Fury (2007) " This low-level laffer seems set to bounce out of theatres in short order." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Aug 30, 2007
1.5/5 7% Captivity (2007) " Although shot with a modicum of style by a seriously slumming Roland Joffe... nothing terribly thrilling happens in this 'thriller.'" — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jul 13, 2007
1.5/5 7% License to Wed (2007) " Anyone who wanders into License to Wed expecting a sweet-natured romantic comedy is likely to feel like the sensitive surface of that metaphorical tongue: ripped off." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jul 3, 2007
1.5/5 12% Let's Go To Prison (2006) " This movie's 90-minute run time definitely feels like too long of a sentence." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Nov 20, 2006
2/5 —— Jake's Corner (2008) " On a technical level, Jakeâ(TM)s Corner looks less like a theatrical release than an extended pilot for a Northern Exposure-style small-town sitcom." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Sep 11, 2008
2/5 61% Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008) " Audiences' connection to this gimmicky mistranslation of a sci-fi classic is likely to be spotty." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jul 2, 2008
2/5 38% Zombie Strippers (2008) " Call it unintentional-intentional-unintentional humor: Lee presumably believes that he's satirizing the unintentional laughs inherent in no-budget genre fare, but does so in such a shoddy manner that the audience is laughing at him instead of with him." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Apr 18, 2008
2/5 0% Remember the Daze (The Beautiful Ordinary) (2008) " Mostly, though, Remember the Daze is a set of largely plotless scenes showing teens trying to score either sex or drugs, with no particularly profound point to any of it." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Apr 11, 2008
2/5 91% Your Mommy Kills Animals (2007) " It isn't only organization that the mildly anarchic Your Mommy Kills Animals sorely lacks, it's also a sufficient number of sources." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Aug 30, 2007
2/5 16% Underdog (2007) " Saddled with shoddy storytelling, this is an Underdog in the saddest sense." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Aug 6, 2007
2/5 23% Evan Almighty (2007) " My advice to you: Just say Noah." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jun 22, 2007
2/5 48% Lonely Hearts (2006) " The only juice in Lonely Hearts comes from the thousands of volts shooting through the electric chair in which Martha and Ray are executed in back-to-back scenes that are disturbingly detailed and drawn out." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Apr 21, 2007
2/5 30% The Hawk Is Dying (2006) " Never takes flight." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Apr 7, 2007
2/5 20% Dead Silence (2007) " Ultimately undone by not only amateurish acting but also DOA dialogue." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Mar 17, 2007
2/5 19% The Last Sin Eater (2007) " A strong story is hindered here by on-the-nose dialogue and melodramatic delivery that makes it seem more like a pulpit-pounding sermon than a slyly subtle parable." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Feb 9, 2007
2/5 55% Déjà Vu (2007) " Most of the time-twisting plot is stuff moviegoers have seen before." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Nov 23, 2006
2.5/5 53% Viva (2007) " Trimming a quarter of the running time would have better enabled the vibrant vita of Biller's vision to amuse audiences." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Oct 18, 2008
2.5/5 40% Callback: The Unmaking of Bloodstain (2008) " A nice comedic calling card for a trio of relative unknowns who seem smart enough to make their own luck." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Sep 30, 2008
2.5/5 32% The X-Files: I Want to Believe (The X Files 2) (2008) " The true mystery of The X-Files, then, is not only whether the connection between Mulder and Scully, but also the one between the charismatic characters and their fans, would be able to withstand the resultant strain." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jul 25, 2008
2.5/5 35% 21 (2008) " Similar to the caper he's shooting, Legally Blonde director Robert Luketic's plan doesn't exactly go off without a hitch." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Mar 28, 2008
2.5/5 70% The Price of Sugar (2007) " [A] no-frills doc, which isn't done any favors by Newman's monotone narration." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Sep 28, 2007
2.5/5 33% Self Medicated (2006) " It's a precocious performance, although one with melodramatic moments that prevent Lapica from entirely dispelling the specter of vanity self-casting." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Aug 31, 2007
2.5/5 86% When the Road Bends...tales of a Gypsy Caravan (2007) " [Dellal's] attempts to 'straighten' the narrative through exposition disguised as the walkie-talkie messages of an unseen stage manager, however, are distractingly ham-handed." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Aug 30, 2007
2.5/5 78% Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2007) " Anyone expecting a rebirth of the Harry Potter film franchise in its fifth installment will find a disappointing dearth of cinematic magic." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jul 10, 2007
2.5/5 41% Shrek the Third (2007) " It's the croaking Frog King Harold who unwittingly provides the metaphor for the state of this fairytale franchise with a drawn-out death scene that's kind of funny at first but then drags on way too long." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted May 18, 2007
2.5/5 8% The Reaping (2007) " Perhaps the best way to put it is that the cast and crew reap what they so-so." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Apr 14, 2007
2.5/5 19% Primeval (2007) " Veteran TV director Michael Katleman has crafted a perfectly serviceable -- and scary -- B-movie." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jan 13, 2007
2/4 17% La tigre e la neve (The Tiger and the Snow) (2006) " What Benigni was able to do so improbably in a World War II concentration camp in his masterpiece Life Is Beautiful - find comedy - he is utterly unable to do in the shock-and-awed streets of Baghdad in the early days of Gulf War II." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Dec 29, 2006
3/5 68% Ben X (2007) " Undeniably a high-level achievement." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Oct 24, 2008
3/5 69% Synecdoche, New York (2008) " Undeniably brilliant at times, Synecdoche, New York is also incredibly dense." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Oct 24, 2008
3/5 88% Spirit of the Marathon (2007) " Like the majority of its subjects, this inspiring doc may not be able to hang with the big girls and boys at the front of the box office pack, but it looks to have the legs to last in the right theatres -- perhaps especially so during the Olympics." — Boxoffice Magazine
