Rating T-Meter Title | Year Add Date
0.5/5 26% Your Highness (2011) " It fails so completely at its reach for lowness that you may find yourself crying out for Mel Brooks, Monty Python, hell even Cheech OR Chong to swoop in and save the thing. No such luck." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Apr 8, 2011
.5/5 1% Daddy Day Camp (2007) " Lights out." — Maxim
Posted Aug 10, 2007
.5/5 37% The Ten (2007) " It is as if the filmmakers created an 11th commandment of their own: Thou Shalt Not Laugh. And we don't." — Maxim
Posted Aug 4, 2007
.5/5 7% License to Wed (2007) " If for any reason your wife or girlfriend - or both - try to drag you to this thing, break up with them instead. It would be less painful." — Maxim
Posted Jul 6, 2007
1/5 6% Standing Ovation (2010) " This lame musical advertises itself as 'the most rockin' movie of the summer'. Replace 'rockin'' with 'rotten' and they would just about have it right." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Jul 20, 2010
1/5 13% The Bounty Hunter (2010) " The sad thing is good romantic comedies are on the endangered species list. The Bounty Hunter proves the point." — Back Stage
Posted Mar 22, 2010
1/5 44% The Limits of Control (2009) " Director Jim Jarmusch tests the limits of our patience with this indulgent, minimalist exercise that all adds up to nothing." — Hollywood.com
Posted Apr 30, 2009
1/5 13% The Informers (2009) " There seems to be no point to this derivative Bret Easton Ellis retro-wallow. It's all sex, drugs, rock 'n roll and boredom - with the emphasis on boredom." — Hollywood.com
Posted Apr 24, 2009
1/5 64% Crank 2: High Voltage (2009) " This Crank sequel fails to live up to the original in every way and that one didn't exactly set a high bar to begin with." — Hollywood.com
Posted Apr 18, 2009
1/5 0% Super Capers (2009) " Too much of the time though is wasted with moronic shenanigans and B-level acting by a cast that was obviously hired because they were affordable." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Mar 20, 2009
1/5 5% Miss March (2009) " A witless hodgepodge of gross-out gags that by comparison makes last summer's 'The House Bunny' look like 'Citizen Kane'." — Hollywood.com
Posted Mar 13, 2009
1/5 18% Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (2009) " When Chris Klein yells "Bomb! Everybody Out!", he just as well could have been talking about this movie too." — Hollywood.com
Posted Feb 28, 2009
1/5 21% The Lodger (2009) " This faux Hitchcock mystery whodunit will only have you guessing why they bothered to remake it in the first place." — Hollywood.com
Posted Jan 23, 2009
1/5 9% Bangkok Dangerous (2008) " A by-the-numbers retread that's ill-conceived as an action vehicle for Cage." — Hollywood.com
Posted Nov 20, 2008
1/5 14% My Best Friend's Girl (2008) " Yet another in a continuing line of dismal Dane Cook so-called romantic comedies." — Hollywood.com
Posted Nov 20, 2008
1/5 11% An American Carol (2008) " What could have been an amusing riff looks more like a propaganda film out to destroy Moore rather than spoof him." — Hollywood.com
Posted Nov 20, 2008
1/5 8% Miss Conception (2008) — Hollywood.com
Posted Oct 1, 2008
1/5 5% 88 Minutes (2008) " Fortunately for the great Al-and us-this one ought to be in and out of theatres in just about 88 hours." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Apr 18, 2008
1/5 31% The Hottest State (2007) " Boy meets girl. Boy shacks up with girl. Boy almost marries girl. Girl loses interest in boy. Boy loses girl.Boy and girl lose audience." — Maxim
Posted Aug 25, 2007
1/5 57% The Astronaut Farmer (2006) " Houston, we've got a bomb!" — Maxim
Posted Feb 23, 2007
1/5 27% Trust the Man (2006) " Trust the Maxim. Take a pass." — Maxim
Posted Aug 21, 2006
1/4 39% Speed Racer (2008) " With "The Matrix" the Wachowski Brothers created a sci fi action classic, with its two sequels they destroyed a franchise and now with Speed Racer they have destroyed another one right out the box." — Back Stage
Posted May 9, 2008
1.5 43% Pathology (2008) " Existing somewhere in a world between Flatliners, Saw and Last Tango in Paris, this oversexed, over the top, underwritten medical horror flick won't come anywhere near the success of those films." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Apr 25, 2008
1.5/5 34% Battleship (2012) " Its endless parade of explosions, battles and general mayhem makes Michael Bay seem like Ingmar Bergman in comparison with Battleship director Peter Berg." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted May 15, 2012
1.5/5 23% Sucker Punch (2011) " This almost laughable mock-adventure should give Warner Bros at least one good weekend before receipts take a nosedive and audiences discover they are the ones being sucker-punched." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Mar 25, 2011
1.5/5 25% Letters To God (2010) " There is no complexity to these characters at all and the relentless pitch for prayer as the answer to all lifeâ(TM)s problems is laid on like molasses." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Apr 9, 2010
1.5/5 14% Year One (2009) " This lame biblical/caveman jokefest fails to elict many laughs." — Hollywood.com
Posted Jun 19, 2009
1.5/5 10% Bride Wars (2009) " Gary Winick directs way too broadly for this thing to ever have a chance and any semblance of reality or believability is just tossed out with bridal bouquet." — Hollywood.com
Posted Jan 8, 2009
1.5/5 3% The Haunting of Molly Hartley (2008) " The acting in Haunting is cardboard as can be, and although Bennett tries hard to engage us, sheâ(TM)s seemingly interchangeable with any number of teen actresses currently roaming the airwaves at the CW." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Nov 4, 2008
1.5/5 45% The Strangers (2008) " A retread of just about every home-invasion movie of the past 50 years mixed with elements of torture porn and chick-flick romance." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Oct 18, 2008
1.5/5 45% The Strangers (2008) " A retread of just about every home-invasion movie of the past 50 years mixed with elements of torture porn and chick-flick romance...has nothing new to offer in the genre." — Hollywood.com
Posted May 30, 2008
1.5/5 3% Deal (2008) " Thoroughly predictable in every way including an obvious ending that tries unsuccessfully to bluff the audience, Deal feels fake and trite." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Apr 25, 2008
1.5/5 18% Chapter 27 (2007) " If there is any good reason for an audience to spend an hour and a half wallowing in the psychotic reveries of this wayward young man, the filmmakers and their star have sadly failed to provide it." — Boxoffice Magazine
Posted Mar 28, 2008
1.5/5 44% redacted (2007) " It's a shame that with the vast canvas of this seemingly never-ending conflict that this crap is the image De Palma wants to convey." — Maxim
Posted Nov 21, 2007
1.5/5 21% Fred Claus (2007) " A ho-ho-hum yuletide comedy trying to shoehorn Vaughn's fast talking wise-guy brand into a warm and fuzzy Christmas confection that seems like it has been focus-grouped to smithereens." — Maxim
Posted Nov 9, 2007
1.5/5 53% Across the Universe (2007) " Something that would have been a bad idea for an Off-Broadway concept show has inexplicably been turned into a bloated two hour and eleven minute movie musical." — Maxim
Posted Sep 14, 2007
1.5/5 23% Balls of Fury (2007) " Super BAD!" — Maxim
Posted Sep 7, 2007
1.5/5 16% Illegal Tender (2007) " Over-the-top melodrama that offers lots of freewheeling gunplay and action in desperate search of a believable story." — Maxim
Posted Aug 25, 2007
1.5/5 39% Hot Rod (2007) " If this film somehow manages to become a hit it will be a bigger feat than ANYTHING this dumb dude tries on screen!" — Maxim
Posted Aug 4, 2007

1.5/5 9% Norbit (2007) " A one-dimensional bad news comedy." — Maxim
Posted Mar 2, 2007
1.5/5 21% Catch and Release (2007) " The kind of movie that just can't seem to have enough annoying self-absorbed people around to rattle on about their life woes. Catch this release at your own peril." — Maxim
Posted Jan 26, 2007
1.5/5 4% Code Name: The Cleaner (2007) " This is the kind of movie where everyone looks like they are having a lot more fun than the audience." — Maxim
Posted Jan 19, 2007
1.5/5 51% For Your Consideration (2006) " There are a lot of laughs to be mined from the spectacle of ego-inflated superstars tripping over each other trying to grab a $65 gold statue, but you won't find them here." — Maxim
Posted Nov 19, 2006
1.5/5 33% Stormbreaker (Alex Rider: Operation Stormbreaker) (2006) " This mishmash retread fails to find its own identity on any level and should head straight to cable TV where it belongs." — Maxim
Posted Nov 6, 2006
1.5/4 13% The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor (2008) " If Universal wants to continue the tired series after this one, we suggest they take it to Broadway instead, maybe as a musical. How about 'Mummy Mia!'?" — Back Stage
Posted Aug 1, 2008
1.5/4 39% Finding Amanda (2008) " This cloying comedy is barely enlivened by its talented stars who both deserve much better." — Hollywood.com
