Worst 2012 Reviewed Movies

Based on third-party critic reviews.

  1. Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star
    0% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 36 reviews
    "A severely misguided and inept comedy incapable of even telling its single joke properly."
  2. Jack and Jill
    3% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 105 reviews
    "Although it features an inexplicably committed performance from Al Pacino, Jack and Jill is impossible to recommend on any level whatsoever."
  3. Passion Play
    3% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 32 reviews
  4. Abduction
    4% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 101 reviews
    "A soulless and incompetent action/thriller not even a veteran lead actor could save, let alone Taylor Lautner."
  5. The Roommate
    4% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 83 reviews
    "Devoid of chills, thrills, or even cheap titillation, The Roommate isn't even bad enough to be good."
  6. Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son
    5% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 60 reviews
    "Unnecessary, unfunny, and generally unwelcome, Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son offers more of the same for fans of Martin Lawrence's perplexingly popular series."
  7. Dream House
    6% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 81 reviews
    "Dream House is punishingly slow, stuffy, and way too obvious to be scary."
  8. New Year's Eve
    7% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 132 reviews
    "Shallow, sappy, and dull, New Year's Eve assembles a star-studded cast for no discernible purpose."
  9. Dylan Dog: Dead of Night
    8% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 39 reviews
    "An uninspired, feebly-acted horror/comedy that produces little scares and laughs."
  10. Season of the Witch
    10% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 115 reviews
    "Slow, cheap-looking, and dull, Season of the Witch fails even as unintentional comedy."
  11. Trespass
    10% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 70 reviews
    "Another claustrophobic thriller that Joel Schumacher can churn out in his sleep, Trespass is nasty and aggressive, more unpleasant than entertaining."
  12. Red Riding Hood
    11% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 189 reviews
    "Amanda Seyfried is magnetic in Red Riding Hood's starring role, but she's let down by her uninspired leading men and a painfully cliched script."
  13. Hoodwinked Too! Hood vs. Evil
    11% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 63 reviews
    "It may add 3D to the original, but Hoodwinked Too! is missing the first installment's wit and refreshingly low-budget charm."
  14. Atlas Shrugged Part 1
    11% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 46 reviews
    "Passionate ideologues may find it compelling, but most filmgoers will find this low-budget adaptation of the Ayn Rand bestseller decidedly lacking."
  15. There Be Dragons
    11% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 38 reviews
  16. Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chipwrecked
    12% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 76 reviews
    "Lazy, rote, and grating, Chipwrecked is lowest-common-denominator family entertainment that's strictly for the very, very, very young at heart."
  17. The Darkest Hour
    12% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 58 reviews
  18. I Melt With You
    12% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 41 reviews
  19. W.E.
    13% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 103 reviews
  20. Zookeeper
    14% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 125 reviews
    "Zookeeper smothers Kevin James's with a sodden script and a surfeit of jokes inappropriate for the young viewers who would be intrigued by its juvenile storyline."
  21. Seven Days In Utopia
    14% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 43 reviews
  22. Something Borrowed
    15% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 113 reviews
    "In spite of solid performances from Kate Hudson and John Krasinski, Something Borrowed is an unpleasant misfire that lives down to its title."
  23. Priest
    16% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 94 reviews
    "Sleek and stylish, but those qualities are wasted on a dull, derivative blend of sci-fi, action, and horror."
  24. Shark Night 3D
    16% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 63 reviews
    "A joyless excursion into the water that doesn't even produce good gore or nudity thanks to the neutered PG-13 rating."
  25. I Don't Know How She Does It
    17% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 109 reviews
    "A limp comedy with a hopelessly outdated viewpoint on gender, featuring Sarah Jessica Parker in rote Carrie-mode."
  26. Miral
    17% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 63 reviews
  27. The Son of No One
    17% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 35 reviews
    "Needless stylistic flourishes and wholly illogical storytelling make The Son of No One a grisly, repugnant journey."
  28. The Art of Getting By
    18% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 107 reviews
    "A sitcom-level twee mess that bakes in the typical manic pixie dream girl and boring, withdrawn boy hero."
  29. Just Go With It
    19% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 132 reviews
    "Just Go With It may be slightly better than some entries in the recently dire rom-com genre, but that's far from a recommendation."
  30. Judy Moody And The NOT Bummer Summer
    19% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 78 reviews
    "Entertaining for some very young viewers, but for those with normal attention spans, Judy Moody is loud hyperactive overload."
  31. The Rite
    20% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 155 reviews
    "Anthony Hopkins is as excellent as ever, but he's no match for The Rite's dawdling pace and lack of chills -- or Colin O'Donoghue's tentative performance in the leading role."
  32. Beastly
    20% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 91 reviews
    "Fundamentally misguided, poorly written, and badly acted, Beastly adds little to the legacy of its timeless source material."
  33. Fireflies in the Garden
    20% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 51 reviews
    "Despite boasting a stellar cast, Fireflies in the Garden is just tedious, dull and predictable melodrama. Instantly forgettable."
  34. The Double
    20% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 45 reviews
  35. Snow Flower and the Secret Fan
    21% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 87 reviews
  36. Salvation Boulevard
    21% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 33 reviews
  37. The Sitter
    22% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 106 reviews
    "With its recycled plot, misguided gags, and formula performance from Jonah Hill, The Sitter adds up to another disappointing entry from director David Gordon Green."
  38. Sucker Punch
    23% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 202 reviews
    "It's technically impressive and loaded with eye-catching images, but without characters or a plot to support them, all of Sucker Punch's visual thrills are for naught."
  39. The Smurfs
    23% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 115 reviews
    "The Smurfs assembles an undeniably talented cast of voice actors and live-action stars -- then crushes them beneath a blue mound of lowest-common-denominator kiddie fare."
  40. What's Your Number?
    23% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 108 reviews
    "The comic timing of Anna Faris is sharp as always, but it's wasted away in this predictable, boilerplate comedy."
  41. Spy Kids: All the Time in the World
    23% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 57 reviews
    "Burdened by a rote plot and unfunny scatological humor, All the Time in the World suggests that the Spy Kids franchise has run its course."
  42. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1
    24% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 193 reviews
    "Slow, joyless, and loaded with unintentionally humorous moments, Breaking Dawn Part 1 may satisfy the Twilight faithful, but it's strictly for fans of the franchise."
  43. The Dilemma
    24% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 158 reviews
    "It boasts a likable cast and an interesting premise, but The Dilemma can't decide what to do with them; the result is an uneven blend of cheesy slapstick and surprisingly dark comedy."
  44. Conan The Barbarian
    24% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 136 reviews
    "While its relentless, gory violence is more faithful to the Robert E. Howard books, Conan the Barbarian forsakes three-dimensional characters, dialogue, and acting in favor of unnecessary 3D effects."
  45. The Three Musketeers
    24% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 90 reviews
    "It plays admirably fast and loose with Alexandre Dumas' classic tale, but in every other respect, The Three Musketeers offers nothing to recommend -- or to set it apart from the many other film adaptations."
  46. The Change-Up
    25% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 146 reviews
    "There's a certain amount of fun to be had from watching Bateman and Reynolds play against type, but it isn't enough to carry The Change-Up through its crude humor and formulaic plot."
  47. Killer Elite
    25% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 121 reviews
    "A rote, utterly disposable Jason Statham vehicle that just happens to have Clive Owen and Robert De Niro in it."
  48. Apollo 18
    25% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 69 reviews
    "A boring, suspense-free Paranormal Activity rip-off that feels long even at just 90 minutes."
  49. Green Lantern
    26% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 225 reviews
    "Noisy, overproduced, and thinly written, Green Lantern squanders an impressive budget and decades of comics mythology."
  50. Arthur
    26% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 183 reviews
    "An irritating, unnecessary remake that demonstrates the libertine charm Russell Brand exudes in supporting roles turn against him when he's star of the show."
  51. Your Highness
    26% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 167 reviews
    "Big budgets and costumes in service of scatalogical jokes may seem funny on paper, but in execution this is a highly monotonous romp that registers only occasional laughs."
  52. Hop
    26% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 133 reviews
    "It's impressively animated, but Hop's script is so uninspired that not even James Marsden's frantic mugging can give it any bounce."
  53. Colombiana
    26% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 92 reviews
    "Zoe Saldana has the chops but she's taken out by erratic and sloppy filmmaking."
  54. Dirty Girl
    27% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 37 reviews
  55. Take Me Home Tonight
    29% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 111 reviews
    "It has a charming sweetness about it, but Take Me Home Tonight is neither funny nor original enough to live up to the comedies it evokes."
  56. Machine Gun Preacher
    29% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 110 reviews
    "There's a complex man at the center of Machine Gun Preacher but the movie is too shapeless and emotionally vacant to bring his story to life."
  57. The Human Centipede Part 2 (Full Sequence)
    29% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 76 reviews
    "The Human Centipede II (Full Sequence) attempts to weave in social commentary but as the movie wears on, it loses its ability to repulse and shock and ends up obnoxious and annoying."
  58. Sanctum
    30% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 160 reviews
    "Sanctum is beautifully photographed, and it makes better use of 3-D technology than most, but that doesn't make up for its ham-handed script and lifeless cast."
  59. I Am Number Four
    32% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 156 reviews
    "It's positioned as the start of a franchise, but I Am Number Four's familiar plot and unconvincing performances add up to one noisy, derivative, and ultimately forgettable sci-fi thriller."
  60. The Ward
    32% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 69 reviews
