Top 5: Worst Movies.

5. The Hangover Part III

Alcohol poisoning can be deadly and I wouldn’t wish it on anybody. But something needs to
put this franchise, which in its first installment was raw and disgusting and also totally
hilarious, out of its nasty, self-loathing misery. So, drink up, boys!!

4. Oz the Great and Powerful

Michelle Williams and Rachel Weisz dress up the production a bit but the
movie looks tawdry and every line has, uh, a tin quality to it. You can’t fault
director Sam Raimi for having the courage — oh God, stop me — to take on one
of the most classic movies of all time, but this Oz lacks heart.

3. RIPD

Dead guys Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges return to earth as members of the
Rest in Peace Department, hunting foul-looking rogue spirits in an action
movie likely to thrill only make-up artists. There’s a little bit of Ghostbustersto
the story, too much Ghost and a ton of computer-generated billowing clouds
and beams of light from on high. Bridges can usually be depended upon to
elevate anything and everything, but his grating Western sheriff type,
aLonesome Dove-style character gone way over the top, becomes tedious
within a minute of his first appearance. This one was practically the death of
me.

2. After Earth

Will and Jaden, co-star as a father-son pair locked in the classic love-hate
battle that pits the domineering leader against resentful youth. That the
settings are intergalactic, the time frame post-apocalyptic, and the space-suits
flattering does nothing to elevate the dynamic beyond the tedium of everyday
dinner table squabbles most of us have witnessed or participated in. With a
story as thin as a minor episode of Star Trek — cross the dangerous tundra to
pick up that thing we need so we can get home again — there is ample time to
ponder such matters as why family features so many different regional accents
and where Jaden Smith falls on the annoying-petulant-space-boy spectrum.

1. Grown Ups 2

There is no plot. Just four repulsive guys (Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, David
Spade and Kevin James) wandering around their hometown confronting the
big themes of life: Urination, Defecation, Drooling, Bad Things Happening to
Their Scrotums. Misogynistic, homophobic and sloppy, Grown Ups 2 is
essentially a walk down a junior-high school hallway, except for the presence
of various lovely women (Salma Hayek, Maya Rudolph, Maria Bello) who we’re
expected to believe actually married these guys. There are people who will
argue that 12 Years a Slave is the most depressing movie of the year.
EnduringGrown Ups 2 threw me into a much deeper funk.
