Tomatometer icon 17%

The Mummy (2017)
Tomatometer icon 15%

#53

The House (2017)
Tomatometer icon 20%

#53

#52

Wish Upon (2017)
Tomatometer icon 20%

#52

#51

Baywatch (2017)
Tomatometer icon 18%

#51
Adjusted Score: 31380%
Critics Consensus: Baywatch takes its source material's jiggle factor to R-rated levels, but lacks the original's campy charm -- and leaves its charming stars flailing in the shallows.

Directed By: Seth Gordon

#48

The Book of Henry (2017)
Tomatometer icon 21%

#48
Adjusted Score: 28604%
Critics Consensus: The Book of Henry deserves a few points for ambition, but its tonal juggling act -- and a deeply maudlin twist -- may leave viewers gaping in disbelief rather than choking back tears.

Starring: Naomi Watts, Jaeden Martell, Jacob Tremblay, Sarah Silverman
Directed By: Colin Trevorrow

#47
#47
Adjusted Score: 46207%
Critics Consensus: King Arthur: Legend of the Sword piles mounds of modern action flash on an age-old tale -- and wipes out much of what made it a classic story in the first place.

Starring: Charlie Hunnam, Astrid Bergès-Frisbey, Jude Law, Djimon Hounsou

#46

#45

Snatched (2017)
Tomatometer icon 36%

#45
Adjusted Score: 47553%
Critics Consensus: Snatched has a pair of terrifically talented stars, but their presence isn't enough to compensate for this rote comedy's threadbare plot and scattershot laughs.

Starring: Amy Schumer, Goldie Hawn, Wanda Sykes, Joan Cusack
Directed By: Jonathan Levine

#44

Kidnap (2017)
Tomatometer icon 34%

#44
Adjusted Score: 38481%

Starring: Halle Berry, Sage Correa, Chris McGinn, Lew Temple
