1.

The Box

Associated Press
11/05/09 Poor "...awful, preposterous... as empty as the heroines' heads in Diaz's 'Charlie's Angels' flicks.... wallows through superficial soul-searching and sermonizing..."
2.

Pain & Gain

Associated Press
04/25/13 Weak "All but the faintest flashes of humanity and pathos are flattened by the cinematic cyclone that is Michael Bay. He drowns the film in gimmick and style..."
3.

Alex Cross

Associated Press
10/18/12 Weak "...a movie built on bad ideas... Tyler Perry has little allure... the standard-issue cop-vs.-serial-killer story presents Cross as more of a dopey psycho-babbler..."
4.

Taken 2

Associated Press
10/04/12 Weak "...a mix of third-rate action, dreary family melodrama, laughable bad guys and even more laughable plot devices... a quick, crappy replay of the original..."
5.

That's My Boy (2012)

Associated Press
06/14/12 Weak "...vomit jokes, strip-club routines, fecal humor, and gags about masturbation... In short, we get Sandler, doing what he always does..."
6.

Safe (2012)

Associated Press
04/26/12 Weak "...the worst Statham movie since the last Statham movie, carrying on the bargain-budget action star's tradition of building a body of work out of, well, dead bodies."
7.

The Raven (2012)

Associated Press
04/24/12 Weak "...an unimaginative mess whose superficial appropriations of Poe's devilish yarns are deeply unworthy of the author.... offers up one of the dullest mass murderers ever."
8.

A Thousand Words (2012)

Associated Press
03/09/12 Weak "...a thin, pointless idea with dumb slapstick and pratfalls and a lot of wordless mugging by Murphy, who proves he can be just as insufferable when he's not talking..."
9. 02/09/12 Weak "...the presence of actors as good as Caine and Guzman only highlights how dreadful and dumb the banter is... If only the movie had the hint of a brain."
10.

W.E.

Associated Press
02/03/12 Weak "...poorly conceived, awkwardly orchestrated... The images have the sheen of a really grand music video or perfume commercial, and the movie has about as much insight."
11.

The Sitter (2011)

Associated Press
12/08/11 Weak "...other than Jonah Hill's admirable work ethic trying to squeeze laughs out of this dismally underdeveloped scenario, 'The Sitter' has nothing going for it."
12.

Real Steel

Associated Press
10/06/11 Weak "...dresses up a bad idea -- robots boxing -- with all the computer effects and heavy-metal action that Hollywood can buy.... horribly predictable..."
13.

What's Your Number?

Associated Press
09/29/11 Weak "...one-note... about a woman's sudden fixation that she's slept around too much and that one of those former partners must have been her perfect mate."
14.

Zookeeper

Associated Press
07/07/11 Weak "...as dumb as they come, the movie that finally allows Adam Sandler to lend annoying voice to a Capuchin monkey as it talks incessantly about flinging poop around."
15. 06/28/11 Weak "...wearisome... it all flies by in such frenzy that it remains a challenge to figure out who's who, which robot is which, and what machines you should be rooting for."
16.

Just Go With It (2011)

Associated Press
02/10/11 Weak "...idiotic... stuffed with unpleasant narcissists saying and doing the stupidest, often cruelest things in hope of cheap laughs."
17. 12/23/10 Weak "...the movie sullies a piece of literature that has endured for nearly 300 years for the sake of a cheap kiddie flick that'll be forgotten in a month."
18.

Little Fockers

Associated Press
12/21/10 Weak "...tasteless trash, filled with abysmally unfunny gags involving vomit, enemas, erectile dysfunction and the like..."
19.

Charlie St. Cloud

Associated Press
07/29/10 Weak "...a bore, despite a somewhat clever twist -- somewhat because it momentarily jolts the story out of the doldrums before the movie settles back to sleep."
20.

Jonah Hex

Associated Press
06/17/10 Weak "...so short, and so bad, you cringe at the thought of how awful whatever ended up on the cutting-room floor must be."
