Date Movie is as crude, tasteless and cheap as a movie the Farrelly brothers might’ve made during adolescence. And since the year has only just begun, let’s tack on 2005 and proclaim this the worst movie of the last year and a quarter… Oh, what the hell—the last decade.

Big Momma's House 2 is precisely what you'd expect from a sequel whose title no longer has any affiliation with the current "story": a few harmless, lowbrow laughs, all of which are forever indebted to the formulas of crap past.

Hoodwinked is CSI meets the Brother Grimm. But as clever as its premise is, the animated feature can’t quite maintain its wily sense of humor.

This seven-years-later sequel lacks the sexy, cutting zing! that made 1998’s The Mask of Zorro a sharp, stylish update of the old school swordsman. Instead, the sequel favors more a family-friendly approach. Still, there’s enough caliente chemistry to be found between stars Antonio Banderas and Catherine Zeta-Jones.

Between the two of them, Ridley Scott and Orlando Bloom have picked up their swords for Gladiator, Troy and The Lord of the Rings trilogy. And that's the problem. If the intriguing but ultimately derivative Kingdom of Heaven had arrived before these recent period epics, it may have stood a better chance of enthralling us.

Needless to say, as a cringe-worthy and excruciatingly awful comedy, you shouldn't pay a dime of King's Ransom.
