"The movie is arid, inert, inept, dumbly preposterous, and endless. I was looking at my watch after 20 minutes.... a dramatic sinkhole." |

"...a repellent comedy about unpleasant women and a stubborn case of vaginal yeast infection... the nadir of equal-opportunity raunch..." |

"Dinesh D'Souza's documentary is no mere screed: '2016: Obama's America' is a nonsensically unsubstantiated act of character assassination." |

"...boasts the kind of acting and direction usually relegated to the adult section of your local video store.... everyone should see something this bad at least once..." |

"Exhausted as the premise already is, 'Old Dogs' nevertheless finds ways to make the lesson even less tolerable." |

"...one of those over-the-top absurdist antiwar 'satires'... a magical-realist sitcom war farce that ends up being about nothing but its own slovenly smugness." |

"...it's like a pastry that's been sitting on the shelf for 60 years.... the plot is a drily indigestible wad of show-must-go-on preciousness and socialist sentimentality." |

"...merely vile (and dull), with a badly miscast Tony Goldwyn as the raging dad who makes revenge for his daughter's violation look more gratuitously brutal than the crime." |

"Its entire thing is slackly staged, flatly acted exposition.... the rare horror film so bad you almost wish it had turned into a good old connect-the-gory-dots slasher movie." |

"Despite endless jarbled techno-nonsense about EEGs and spectral energy, the ghostly terror at the center of this generic scarer remains a paranormal nonentity." |

"...largely autobiographical.... But still: An appreciation that the pain is personal doesn't compensate for the picture's self-absorbed need to alienate." |

"It makes you want to see Murphy team up with Judd Apatow, or even take on a dead-serious dramatic role -- do anything but star in another movie like this one." |

"...the movie not only makes cheap sex jokes but looks skanky, too. Lighting, camerawork, and editing are all a slapdash mess." |

"...stunningly bad... Spectacularly poor judgment in everything from acting to costuming... right on the cusp of the so-bad-it's-good Hall of Shame." |

"...witless, insultingly derivative, muddy-looking... edited in the hammering epileptic style that marks so many films produced, as this one is, by Michael Bay." |

"...a brainless, joyless, and yes, you might even say, soulless teen slasher -- the kind of thing you'd expect from one of the lesser directors Wes Craven inspired..." |
