The Host (2013)

Owen Gleiberman
03/29/13 Poor "The movie is arid, inert, inept, dumbly preposterous, and endless. I was looking at my watch after 20 minutes.... a dramatic sinkhole."
2. 10/19/12 Poor "...a repellent comedy about unpleasant women and a stubborn case of vaginal yeast infection... the nadir of equal-opportunity raunch..."
3.

2016: Obama's America

Owen Gleiberman
08/31/12 Poor "Dinesh D'Souza's documentary is no mere screed: '2016: Obama's America' is a nonsensically unsubstantiated act of character assassination."
4.

Valentine's Day

Lisa Schwarzbaum
02/12/10 Poor "...a nasty box of cheap chocolate on Valentine's Day... follow me while we search for the emergency exits together."
5.

Transylmania

Adam Markovitz
12/11/09 Poor "...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..."
6.

Old Dogs

Lisa Schwarzbaum
11/27/09 Poor "Exhausted as the premise already is, 'Old Dogs' nevertheless finds ways to make the lesson even less tolerable."
7. 11/06/09 Poor "...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."
8.

Paris 36

Owen Gleiberman
04/03/09 Poor "...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."
9. 03/13/09 Poor "...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."
10. 09/21/12 Poor "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."
11.

The Apparition (2012)

Keith Staskiewicz
08/24/12 Poor "Despite endless jarbled techno-nonsense about EEGs and spectral energy, the ghostly terror at the center of this generic scarer remains a paranormal nonentity."
12.

Crazy Eyes

Lisa Schwarzbaum
07/06/12 Poor "...largely autobiographical.... But still: An appreciation that the pain is personal doesn't compensate for the picture's self-absorbed need to alienate."
13.

A Little Bit Of Heaven

Lisa Schwarzbaum
05/04/12 Poor "Terminal colon cancer has never looked more fetching than in the critically ill romantic-disease comedy.... inane..."
14. 03/16/12 Poor "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."
15.

What's Your Number?

Lisa Schwarzbaum
09/30/11 Poor "...the movie not only makes cheap sex jokes but looks skanky, too. Lighting, camerawork, and editing are all a slapdash mess."
16.

Beastly

Adam Markovitz
03/05/11 Poor "...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."
17.

I Am Number Four

Lisa Schwarzbaum
02/25/11 Poor "...witless, insultingly derivative, muddy-looking... edited in the hammering epileptic style that marks so many films produced, as this one is, by Michael Bay."
18.

My Soul to Take

Adam Markovitz
10/09/10 Poor "...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..."
19.

Life As We Know It

Lisa Schwarzbaum
10/08/10 Poor "...the most ridiculous, irritating, two-dimensional rom-com heroine since... Katherine Heigl's last rom-com.... witless, unfunny, unromantic..."
20.

Case 39

Chris Nashawaty
10/02/10 Poor "...even if you've never sat through 'The Omen' or 'The Bad Seed' or 'Orphan' or 'Joshua,' you've seen this hackneyed, hell-spawn hooey before."
