Film Review Index: Bad or Disappointing Movies (C+ to U-)

[philosoraptor42]

Reviews follow an old-fashioned report card grading system:
A = Excellent
B = Good
C = Satisfactory
D = Unsatisfactory
E = Unacceptable
U = Barely qualifies as a movie

I give each rating a + or - to suggest how close it was to being in the next grade up.
