0/5 3% Jack and Jill (2011) " It's not hard to do but Jack and Jill has the distinction of being the worst Adam Sandler movie ever." — Tri-City Herald
Posted Nov 12, 2011
0/5 23% What's Your Number? (2011) " What's Your Number? Dumb question. And an even dumber movie." — Tri-City Herald
Posted Oct 2, 2011
.5/5 17% I Don't Know How She Does It (2011) " I not only have nothing nice to say about this movie, but it also is so bad it is a struggle to say anything about it at all." — Tri-City Herald
Posted Sep 16, 2011
.5/5 17% You Again (2010) " Women reverting back to their terrible teens looks more like a revert back to the terrible 2s. That actually fits, the movie has about that maturity level." — Tri-City Herald
Posted Sep 24, 2010
.5/5 81% Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (2010) " Cast anyone else in the lead role and it might work. I assume the Scott Pilgrim of the graphic novels is actually masculine and has all the correct and working body parts. " — Tri-City Herald
Posted Aug 13, 2010
.5/5 17% The Haunting in Connecticut (2009) " Open the medicine cabinet door, nothing is in the mirror, close the door and there is--place your check mark here--the demon, monster, psychopathic killer." — Tri-City Herald
Posted Mar 27, 2009
0.5/5 55% Step Brothers (2008) " No Step Brotherly love here...He [Farrell]gets not funnier with each succeeding movie." — Tri-City Herald
Posted Jul 24, 2008
1/5 18% Baggage Claim (2013) " The worst movie of the year so far. Period." — Tri-City Herald
Posted Sep 27, 2013
1/5 3% Getaway (2013) " Getaway or One Direction: This is Us? I chose Getaway. Boy bands aren't my thing. A reel or two into Getaway and I'm thinking One Direction is a better direction." — Tri-City Herald
Posted Aug 30, 2013
1/5 14% The Smurfs 2 (2013) " Why the Smurf do we need The Smurfs 2?" — Tri-City Herald
Posted Aug 2, 2013
1/5 38% The Purge (2013) " The dumbest premise in the history of Earth. " — Tri-City Herald
Posted Jun 7, 2013
1/5 19% The Hangover Part III (2013) " The hangover on the third day of a three-day binge makes you wonder why you decided to go there in the first place. Apparently it's the same for movies. " — Tri-City Herald
Posted May 24, 2013
1/5 36% The Incredible Burt Wonderstone (2013) " The Incredible Burt Wonderstone just isn't. " — Tri-City Herald
Posted Mar 15, 2013
1/5 13% Safe Haven (2013) " The Nicholas Sparks novel inspired movie is neither inspired nor novel. For those who love this stuff, your sugary treat awaits." — Tri-City Herald
Posted Feb 15, 2013
1/5 66% Mama (2013) " Two-thirds of the way through Mama a psychiatrist hypnotizing a little girl asks her if she's asleep. Yes, she says. In fact, by then, so is the audience. " — Tri-City Herald
Posted Jan 18, 2013
1/5 30% Chasing Mavericks (2012) " The surfing scenes are spectacular. Unfortunately, those scenes cover about 30 minutes of a badly written, mostly boring 90-minute film." — Tri-City Herald
Posted Oct 26, 2012
1/5 25% Fun Size (2012) " Fun Size? No fun in any size. " — Tri-City Herald
Posted Oct 26, 2012
1/5 57% Sparkle (2012) " To have our last image of Whitney Houston come from this terrible, terrible movie is truly depressing. " — Tri-City Herald
Posted Aug 17, 2012
1/5 17% The Watch (2012) " Stars Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn and Jonah Hill. That can be good. Or that can be bad. In this case, it's bad. A great premise, some clever ideas but ultimately unwatchable. " — Tri-City Herald
Posted Jul 27, 2012
1/5 63% The Five-Year Engagement (2012) " A movie about a five-year engagement should not seem like you were in the theater the entire five years." — Tri-City Herald
Posted Apr 27, 2012
1/5 20% The Lucky One (2012) " This is guy repellent turf. You'll likely want to let her do this one alone. And she ought to think twice." — Tri-City Herald
Posted Apr 20, 2012
1/5 28% Project X (2012) " Project X. Sounds like a horror story. In a way, it is. This is a teen partying movie on steroids." — Tri-City Herald
Posted Mar 2, 2012
1/5 24% Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 (2011) " Is this really what Twilight fans want? Two characters drooling over and on each other for half the movie and not much else? " — Tri-City Herald
Posted Nov 18, 2011
1/5 36% One Day (2011) " In one scene, we are told a boyfriend of Anne Hathaway's character left. At that point, I'm envious. How come he gets to leave and I have to stay?" — Tri-City Herald
Posted Aug 19, 2011
1/5 22% The Smurfs (2011) " I saw this one so you don't have to. " — Tri-City Herald
Posted Jul 29, 2011
1/5 38% Monte Carlo (2011) " Several times I was tempted to run out of the theater and to the edge of the fourth story balcony of the mall the theater is located in and throw myself off." — Tri-City Herald
Posted Jul 1, 2011
1/5 34% The Hangover Part II (2011) " To paraphrase statements from the characters: we've done it again doesn't do it again." — Tri-City Herald
Posted May 27, 2011
1/5 15% Something Borrowed (2011) " A better title: Everything Borrowed." — Tri-City Herald
Posted May 7, 2011
1/5 25% Hop (2011) " To put it succinctly: Hop is brain death." — Tri-City Herald
Posted Apr 1, 2011
1/5 21% Beastly (2011) " To redo The Beauty and the Beast and introduce a movie version of classic literature to a texting addicted, reading challenged generation, at least do it right." — Tri-City Herald
Posted Mar 4, 2011
1/5 13% Yogi Bear (2010) " Yogi Bear may be smarter-than-the-average bear, but his new live-action-animated-mix flick is dumber-than-the-average-movie. Dumb with a capital D. " — Tri-City Herald
Posted Dec 17, 2010
1/5 66% The American (2010) " You know a movie is slow when the only excitement and the most action is found in an out-of-place and overly long sex scene. " — Tri-City Herald
Posted Sep 2, 2010
1/5 4% Vampires Suck (2010) " Vampires Suck lives up to the title." — Tri-City Herald
Posted Aug 21, 2010
1/5 47% The A-Team (2010) " TV's Hannibal Smith is famous for the line, "I love it when a plan comes together." Too bad his movie didn't." — Tri-City Herald
Posted Jun 12, 2010
1/5 66% The Karate Kid (2010) " It's not karate now, it's kung fu. Why not call it The Kung Fu Kid?" — Tri-City Herald
Posted Jun 12, 2010
1/5 8% Furry Vengeance (2010) " So few films are totally aimed at kids, and tearing this one to shreds is not pleasurable." — Tri-City Herald
Posted May 2, 2010
1/5 19% The Back-up Plan (2010) " Ten minutes into this disaster and anyone unfortunate enough to attend will be making back-up plans of their own." — Tri-City Herald
Posted Apr 24, 2010
1/5 28% Remember Me (2010) " The script calls for several scenes with gut-wrenching, hard-core emotional outbursts. They're so bad they're embarrassing. Robert Pattinson should stick to sulking." — Tri-City Herald
Posted Mar 13, 2010
1/5 18% The Tooth Fairy (2010) " The Rock's stock has slipped from ex-superstar wrestler and Scorpion King and action-icon heir apparent to donning Dollar Store lace wings and a tutu to play a tooth fairy." — Tri-City Herald
Posted Jan 23, 2010
1/5 21% Leap Year (2010) " A late scene has Amy Adams standing at the edge of a cliff. I thought she was going to jump. Had it not been so late in the movie, I would have gladly traded her places." — Tri-City Herald
Posted Jan 9, 2010
1/5 12% Did You Hear About the Morgans? (2009) " Forget witness protection, with this one you need protection %u2014 'witless' protection." — Tri-City Herald
Posted Dec 19, 2009
1/5 7% Whiteout (2009) " The characters based on the [graphic] novel never get beyond one dimension and the film moves at the pace of an Antarctic glacier. On second thought, the glacier moves faster." — Tri-City Herald
Posted Sep 12, 2009
1/5 67% Brüno (2009) " No stoop is too low for a Cohen gag." — Tri-City Herald
Posted Jul 11, 2009
1/5 43% Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian (2009) " If only [Ben] Stiller in real life would take a hint from his latest character and miss whatever career he had before acting and go back to it." — Tri-City Herald
Posted May 23, 2009
1/5 37% Angels & Demons (2009) " The Church sees the themes as anti-Catholic. I'm not sure about anti-Catholic, but church officials could make a strong case for anti-good filmmaking." — Tri-City Herald
Posted May 16, 2009
1/5 26% The Ghosts of Girlfriends Past (2009) " It shamelessly rips off all of the films and TV specials that have also ripped off his brilliant, metaphor-filled story." — Tri-City Herald
Posted May 2, 2009
1/5 25% Friday the 13th (2009) " There is absolutely no%u2014dare I say%u2014creativity here. It's so boring and so badly done that you don't even see the first guy die." — Tri-City Herald
Posted Feb 14, 2009
1/5 59% The International (2009) " The story is bland. The performances are bland. There was nowhere for the plot to go and nowhere for this review to go. The end. Roll credits." — Tri-City Herald
Posted Feb 14, 2009
1/5 31% The Uninvited (2009) " [It}...in a very heavy-handed way tries to make you believe something is happening when it isn't. The twist at the end is a big non-surprise." — Tri-City Herald
Posted Feb 1, 2009
1/5 14% The Spirit (2008) " [Frank] Miller tries drama, then comedy and when that doesn't connect he hopes his patented neo-noir effects and innovative sets will lull you into thinking this is genius." — Tri-City Herald
