Despite a title that conjures images of a pre-teen Fear Factor, the critics say Worms is actually quite tame -- or quaint -- compared with much of contemporary family fare. Although its youthful cast contribute solid performances, the critics say Worms lacks bite, and doesn't live up to the standard set by the classic children's book of the same name.

Those Broken Lizard folks are at it again, with another gleefully juvenile movie that should appeal to their cult audience while confounding the critics. Sort of like Dodgeball for the pub set, Beerfest tells the tale of a group of misfits who take on the world in an international beer drinking contest. While critics concede that there are more than a few moments of boozy, tasteless fun, they also say the film, at 111 minutes, is a little too hit and miss to justify its running time.
