1/5 11% Red Riding Hood (2011) " Bloodless on every level." — Digital Spy
Posted Jul 14, 2011
1/5 26% Your Highness (2011) " In case you miss the joke, McBride helpfully arcs an eyebrow and cocks his head to signal the punchline. And with all the subtlety of Thor, he hammers most of his crude one-liners in the direction of Portman as the vengeful warrior chick Isabel." — Digital Spy
Posted Jul 14, 2011
1/5 43% Dinner for Schmucks (2010) " The result is a dog's dinner." — Radio Times
Posted Sep 2, 2010
1/5 43% Dinner for Schmucks (2010) " Most right-minded viewers will be left in a fog trying to make sense of this drivel." — Digital Spy
Posted Sep 1, 2010
1/5 20% Obsessed (2009) " Everyone involved should feel cheap and used." — Digital Spy
Posted May 29, 2009
1/5 5% 88 Minutes (2008) " There are more thrilling ways to spend 88 minutes, like counting from one to 5,208." — Film4
Posted Oct 3, 2008
1/5 13% College Road Trip (2008) " Martin Lawrence sits sheepishly low behind the wheel for this meandering drive through comedy hell." — Film4
Posted Aug 22, 2008
1/5 14% The Love Guru (2008) " If you truly love yourself, do yourself a favour and avoid this spiritless comedy." — Film4
Posted Jul 31, 2008
1/5 6% Yours, Mine & Ours (2005) " Dennis Quaid and Rene Russo follow wearily in the footsteps of Henry Fonda and Lucille Ball in this asinine remake." — BBC
Posted Oct 23, 2007
1/5 20% Death Sentence (2007) " From the novelist who spawned Death Wish (1974) comes another story of vigilante justice that'll make you want to hurt someone. Anyone." — BBC
Posted Aug 31, 2007
1/5 4% Material Girls (2006) " Haylie and sister Hilary Duff just don't have the comedy stylings to sell this half-baked story of heiress sisters battling to save their dad's cosmetics empire from ruin." — BBC
Posted Feb 27, 2007
1/5 28% Smokin' Aces (2007) " [Director Joe] Carnahan aims for a Tarantino-style black comedy but wildly misses the mark. Instead of crafting characters to laugh with (or at, even) he indulges a sniggering schoolboy obsession with casual mutilation and silly wigs." — BBC
Posted Jan 12, 2007
1/5 45% Final Destination 3 (2006) " Once more, Wong raises questions of fate and predestination and, while throwing in a tasteless reference to 9/11, fails to address them. It's an orgy of cheerful carnage with no context or purpose and, worst of all, no suspense." — BBC
Posted Feb 18, 2006
1/5 25% 9 songs (2005) " Simply put: a violation." — BBC
Posted Mar 13, 2005

Posted Feb 15, 2005
1/5 8% First Daughter (2004) " This stunning lack of inspiration is reflected in a script that continually hints at how teenagers have become disenchanted with politics without ever following it up." — BBC
Posted Feb 15, 2005
1/5 33% The Phantom of the Opera (2005) " Despite the combined talents of Emmy Rossum and Gerard Butler, its tragic love story between an opera-singing novice and her disfigured mentor is horrifically bloated with theatrical gestures and falsetto dialogue." — BBC
Posted Dec 21, 2004
1/5 7% Surviving Christmas (2004) " All that's vaguely funny or Christmassy about this are the sweaty beads of desperation which string together like fairy-lights across Affleck's forehead as he hammers out one lame gag after another." — BBC
Posted Nov 30, 2004
1/5 15% White Chicks (2004) " Wayans takes one (unfunny) joke and runs with it far beyond the realms of plausibility to a point where even Michael Jackson would draw the line." — BBC
Posted Oct 19, 2004
1/5 7% Envy (2004) " The differing styles of the two comedians never meld, but the script is so flabby even an industrial crane couldn't lift it." — BBC
Posted Sep 7, 2004
1/5 36% Duplex (Our House) (2003) " Barrymore wanders through scenes as if she has trouble remembering what day it is." — BBC
Posted Apr 13, 2004
1/5 19% Just Married (2003) " Murphy has no comic timing and Kutcher overcompensates." — BBC
Posted Mar 19, 2003
2/5 21% Elles (2012) " What a shame that Binoche goes all the way, only for the director to tell half the story." — Digital Spy
Posted Apr 19, 2012

Posted Jan 24, 2012
2/5 23% The Sitter (2011) " There are a few funny moments, but Gordon makes a mess trying to shake up the formula with too much sauce." — Radio Times
Posted Jan 20, 2012
2/5 7% New Year's Eve (2011) " It's fair to say that Marshall dropped the ball with this one, too." — Radio Times
Posted Dec 8, 2011
2/5 47% Anonymous (2011) " By and large it's a comedy of errors, but not as Shakespeare intended it." — Digital Spy
Posted Oct 26, 2011
2/5 69% Horrible Bosses (2011) " At least our would-be murderers enjoy an easy rapport, and this may provide some distraction as the pace slackens and plot continues to go nowhere." — Radio Times
Posted Jul 21, 2011
2/5 69% Horrible Bosses (2011) " It's a shame the story is so flimsy, because the casting is solid." — Digital Spy
Posted Jul 20, 2011
2/5 26% Arthur (2011) " The problem is that our soliloquising Cockney comic as the "world's only loveable billionaire" (as the poster has it) seems too much like a child stamping his feet, demanding that love." — Digital Spy
Posted Jul 14, 2011
2/5 20% The Tourist (2010) " It's a self-conscious attempt at a Hollywood caper with the mix of comedy, romance and conspiracy watered down to the point where you can see straight through it." — Digital Spy
Posted Jul 14, 2011
2/5 39% Due Date (2010) " It runs out of steam before the end comes into view." — Digital Spy
Posted Jul 14, 2011
2/5 32% How Do You Know (2010) " It's all a bit of a slog and, in the end, you don't know much more than you did at the start." — Digital Spy
Posted Jul 14, 2011
2/5 24% The Dilemma (2011) " Even for an experienced director like Howard, there are just too many problems to get around." — Digital Spy
Posted Jul 14, 2011
2/5 35% Larry Crowne (2011) " The megawatt pairing of Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts brings precious little sparkle to this romantic comedy." — Radio Times
Posted Jun 30, 2011
2/5 35% Larry Crowne (2011) " A romance featuring older characters shaped by bitter experience is rare, making it all the more frustrating that Hanks opts for juvenile gags about boobs and bums, and the occasional pratfall." — Digital Spy
Posted Jun 28, 2011
2/5 27% Green Lantern (2011) " Weakness is the Lantern's greatest strength. If anything, there should have been more chinks in his CG armour." — Digital Spy
Posted Jun 15, 2011
2/5 34% Hall Pass (2011) " Potentially funny insights are quickly drowned in a constant stream of bodily fluids, like the sweat of desperation as the Farrellys struggle to recapture their own glory days." — Radio Times
Posted Mar 10, 2011
2/5 34% Hall Pass (2011) " Apparently unable to extract humor from the situation they've set up, the Farrellys resort to doing what they feel they do best: staging schoolboy gags involving the untimely emission of various bodily fluids." — Digital Spy
Posted Mar 9, 2011
2/5 19% Just Go with It (2011) " Broad comic turns by Nicole Kidman and Nick Swardson only exacerbate the feeling that everyone is just trying too hard for their own good here." — Radio Times
Posted Feb 10, 2011
2/5 19% Just Go with It (2011) " You may root for Sandler and Aniston to just 'go with it', but only so you can be done with it." — Digital Spy
Posted Feb 9, 2011
2/5 4% A Little Bit Of Heaven (2012) " Hudson struggles to strike the balance between comedy and tragedy, and she and Bernal share little chemistry." — Radio Times
Posted Feb 3, 2011
2/5 4% A Little Bit Of Heaven (2012) " The emotional breakthroughs are clearly signposted, as if you can feel the filmmaker's hand while she slowly winds our heartstrings around her little finger." — Digital Spy
Posted Feb 2, 2011
2/5 32% How Do You Know (2010) " Nicholson is on autopilot, and Brooks doesn't give the characters the full three dimensions to complement the script's undeniably witty lines." — Radio Times
Posted Jan 27, 2011
2/5 24% The Dilemma (2011) " Even with veteran director Ron Howard behind the camera, proceedings too often veer off in the wrong direction." — Radio Times
Posted Jan 20, 2011
2/5 44% The Green Hornet (2011) " Rogen tests the limits of his likeability as the spoilt brat who inherits an empire while Gondry scrabbles for the right tone." — Digital Spy
Posted Jan 13, 2011
2/5 49% The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (2010) " The Voyage of the Dawn Treader should have been a great, seafaring adventure and instead it's a wishy-washy affair where all-aboard seem rather wet, for all the wrong reasons." — Digital Spy
Posted Dec 8, 2010
2/5 32% London Boulevard (2011) " Essentially, London Boulevard is a long but not very winding road." — Digital Spy
