List

Film Year No. of reviews Consensus Reference
Staying Alive 1983 29 "This sequel to Saturday Night Fever is shockingly embarrassing and unnecessary, trading the original's dramatic depth for a series of uninspired dance sequences." [6]
Bolero 1984 23 "Bolero combines a ludicrous storyline and wildly mismatched cast in its desperate attempts to titillate, but only succeeds in arousing boredom." [7]
Jaws: The Revenge 1987 41 "Illogical, tension-free, and filled with cut-rate special effects, Jaws: The Revenge is a sorry chapter in a once-proud franchise." [8]
Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol 1987 20 "Utterly, completely, thoroughly and astonishingly unfunny, Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol sends a once-innocuous franchise plummeting to agonizing new depths." [9]
Problem Child 1990 30 "Mean-spirited and hopelessly short on comic invention, Problem Child is a particularly unpleasant comedy, one that's loaded with manic scenery chewing and juvenile pranks." [10]
Highlander 2: The Quickening 1991 25 "There should have been only one." [11]
Return to the Blue Lagoon 1991 32 "Despite its lush tropical scenery and attractive leads, Return to the Blue Lagoon is as ridiculous as its predecessor, and lacks the prurience and unintentional laughs that might make it a guilty pleasure." [12]
Folks! 1992 20 "Don't watch this alleged comedy looking for more than pained performances in support of ill-advised ageist jokes, because that's all Folks! has to offer." [13]
Look Who's Talking Now! 1993 25 "Look Who's Talking Now: Look away." [14]
Wagons East! 1994 30 "Wagons East! is a witless, toothless satire of Westerns that falls far below the standard set by Blazing Saddles, and is notable only for being John Candy's final screen performance." [15]
Simon Sez 1999 20 "Simon Sez no matter how starved you are for something to watch, there has to be a better option than this dreadfully misguided action thriller." [16]
3 Strikes 2000 29 "3 Strikes lacks direction and its low-brow humor isn't even that funny." [17]
Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever 2002 119 "A startlingly inept film, Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever offers overblown, wall-to-wall action without a hint of wit, coherence, style, or originality." [18]
Killing Me Softly 2002 22 "Respected director Chen Kaige's first English-language film is a spectacularly misguided erotic thriller, with ludicrous plot twists and cringe-worthy dialogue." [19]
Merci Docteur Rey 2002 22 "This overly wacky farce strains for sophistication but lacks polish and a coherent narrative." [20]
Pinocchio 2002 55 "Roberto Benigni misfires wildly with this adaptation of Pinocchio, and the result is an unfunny, poorly-made, creepy vanity project." [21]
Derailed 2002 5 "Derailed is one of those familiar and pulpy cautionary tales that depend largely on implausible coincidences and preposterous twists." [22]
National Lampoon's Gold Diggers 2003 44 "It aspires to Farrelly-level offensiveness, but the PG-13 rating and a dearth of decent gags renders Gold Diggers tame, toothless, and dull." [23]
Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 2004 46 "A startling lack of taste pervades Superbabies, a sequel offering further proof that bad jokes still aren't funny when coming from the mouths of babes." [24]
Constellation 2005 19 "Though earnestly directed, Constellation lacks dramatic fireworks and eventually falls into TV-movie sentimentality." [25]
Redline 2007 28 "Redline has plenty of bad acting, laughable dialogue, and luxury cars." [26]
Scar 2007 18 "A nasty, witless and unoriginal entry into the torture porn canon with hopeless acting and a waste of modern 3D technology." [27]
One Missed Call 2008 80 "One of the weakest entries in the J-horror remake sweepstakes, One Missed Call is undone by bland performances and shopworn shocks." [28]
Homecoming 2009 23 "A lazy collection of obsession thriller clichés, Homecoming will leave viewers wishing they'd opted for a lopsided football game and some awkward dancing instead." [29]
Stolen 2009 21 "With plot points Stolen from countless superior films, this would-be thriller squanders a solid cast on overly serious and suspense-free storytelling." [30]
Transylmania 2009 21 "Never aiming higher than threadbare jokes and offensive attempts at politically incorrect humor, Transylmania is a vampire comedy that truly sucks." [31]
The Nutcracker in 3D 2010 32 "Misguided, misconceived, and misbegotten on every level, The Nutcracker in 3D is a stunning exercise in astonishing cinematic wrong-headedness." [32]
Beneath the Darkness 2011 22 [33]
Dark Tide 2012 20 "Shallow and brackish, Dark Tide fails to rise." [34]
A Thousand Words 2012 58 "Dated jokes (A Thousand Words was shot in 2008) and removing Eddie Murphy's voice -- his greatest comedic asset -- dooms this painful mess from the start." [35]
Left Behind 2014 71 "Yea verily, like unto a plague of locusts, Left Behind hath begat a further scourge of devastation upon Nicolas Cage's once-proud filmography." [36]
The Ridiculous 6 2015 37 "Every bit as lazily offensive as its cast and concept would suggest, The Ridiculous Six is standard couch fare for Adam Sandler fanatics and must-avoid viewing for film enthusiasts of every other persuasion." [37]
Cabin Fever 2016 30 "No need for a quarantine -- enthusiasm for this inert remake is not contagious." [38]
Dark Crimes 2016 37 "Dark Crimes is a rote, unpleasant thriller that fails to parlay its compelling true story and a committed Jim Carrey performance into even modest chills." [39]
The Disappointments Room 2016 27 "The Disappointments Room lives down to its title with a thrill-free thriller that presumably left its stars filled with regret - and threatens to do the same for audiences." [40]
Max Steel 2016 22 "Bereft of characterization or even satisfying rock 'em sock 'em, Max Steel feels like futzing with an action figure without any childhood imagination." [41]
Precious Cargo 2016 22 [42]
Stratton 2017 36 "Stratton's action-thriller ambitions are roundly thwarted by a derivative story, misguided casting, and a low-budget feel underscored by unimpressive set pieces." [43]
Gotti 2018 58 "Fuhgeddaboudit." [44]
London Fields 2018 35 "London Fields bungles its beloved source material and an intriguingly eclectic cast, leaving audiences with a would-be neo-noir of interest only to the morbidly curious." [45]
The Queen's Corgi 2019 20 [46]
John Henry 2020 21 [47]
The Last Days of American Crime 2020 43 "This Crime is punishment." [48]
Hard Kill 2020 21 [49]
