After.Life

Us Weekly
04/08/10 Poor "Given the pretentious direction, drab dialogue and flat acting, the only thing noteworthy about this supernatural dud is that Ricci plays most of it stark naked."
2. 02/10/11 Poor "Channing Tatum wears a skirt as a 2nd-century soldier in this dreary sandle-and-sword adventure.... (brooding throughout like an underwear model)."
3.

Buried

Us Weekly
09/23/10 Poor "The one 'highlight': He battles a snake with a lighter and a flask of booze. It's a mind-numbing bore."
4.

Your Highness

Us Weekly
04/07/11 Poor "...dreadfully unfunny... the humor is painfully low: McBride spends the movie's climax wearing a beast's penis on a string around his neck. Groan!"
5. 03/03/11 Poor "There's big hair, Duran Duran, cocaine -- and stupid laughs hinged on awkward bathroom sex.... It's, like, totally lame!"
6. 11/04/10 Poor "...wastes talents such as Janet Jackson and Thandie Newton.... the actress' poetic soliloquies inspire groans, and the movie's male characters are almost all villainous."
7. 10/07/10 Poor "A cloying cross between 'The Breakfast Club' and 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest'... Thoroughly false and more annoying than amusing..."
8.

Happy Tears

Us Weekly
02/18/10 Poor "Demi Moore is the only good thing in this mawkish, grating dysfunctional family comedy about two sisters who reunite in Pittsburgh to care for their demented father..."
9. 09/10/09 Poor "Creaky and obvious.... Jesse Metcalfe shows little acting range, Michael Douglas blusters... plays like a dumbed-down John Grisham flick. Case closed!"
10. 08/20/09 Poor "...dreary... Zellweger's summer-stock southern accent is totally grating.a movie that should have gone straight to DVD."
11.

Shrink

Us Weekly
07/23/09 Poor "A 'Crash'-like course in Left Coast loneliness... a poorly conceived Hollywood pity party."
12. 03/12/09 Poor "...with a graphic rape scene and repeated stabbing and bludgeoning (and here's a new one: death by garbage disposal!), the horror flick made us nauseous."
13.

The Change-Up

Us Weekly
08/04/11 Weak "...bores with endless potty humor.... Plus, it wastes Olivia Wilde, who's too talented for a stupid sex-object role."
14. 06/16/11 Weak "...the audience hardly cares whether limp George fails to graduate, finds his true self or gets the girl.... The humdrum romance flunks out."
15. 08/12/10 Weak "Stallone needs a lighter touch, and his face looks as laminated as a playing card. The film has some laughs -- but they're largely unintentional."
16. 07/29/10 Weak "...comes off as an excuse for Efron to look dreamily at the camera with Windex-blue eyes as he drinks Jack Daniels and cries buckets."
17.

The Last Song

Us Weekly
04/01/10 Weak "...overstuffed with twists, tragedies... While Cyrus holds her own, every plot turn can be anticipated, and every confrontation ends in hugs. Ugh!"
18. 03/05/10 Weak "...a downer crime thriller.... unravels like episodes of 'The Wire,' but without that series' dense plotting and insight into human nature."
19. 02/25/10 Weak "...stars Kristen Stewart -- who shows promise, though she's twitchy... a limp road movie that doesn't cover any new territory."
20. 01/14/10 Weak "Jackie Chan's amazing stunts can't rescue the grating family comedy... With jokes about stink bombs and giant wedgies, the flick did not work..."
