587,356 | 783,721 | 262,571 | 2 | Don't waste your time . | Life Without Dick is a romantic / comedy though you'll be hard pressed to find any of either in its vacuous plot . In spite of a good core cast , this to-broadcast-in-a-heartbeat flick is a waste of time not worthy of further commentary . ( |
587,690 | 783,721 | 185,183 | 2 | Oh , the pain ! The suffering ! The Agony ! | And that was just the audience . " Battlefield Earth " is every bit the clunker the critics said it was .

586,319 | 783,721 | 240,944 | 3 | Think " The Substitute " couldn't get any worse ? ? | Guess again . " The Substitute IV " is an even more sophomoric knock-off of it's predecessors . While most sequels try to capitalize on whatever the original had going for it , " Sub IV " doesn't seem to care that it ever had anything going for it as it departs from the " Kick-ass High School teacher takes on punks " t... |
586,744 | 783,721 | 160,611 | 3 | An abysmal failure | Ordinary Decent Criminal is sad because it is obviously trying to succeed and equally obviously hasn't a chance in hell of making it apparently owing to the absence of a clear sense of purpose .

587,455 | 783,721 | 290,018 | 3 | Perfectly awful . | Women vs Men is an uninspired regurgitation of all the same old trite and tired battle of the sexes stuff with a few new buzz words pounded into the pathetically flat script to give it a contempo edge .
