Critic Score: 11/100
User Score: 3.7/10
Synopsis: “A group of martial arts warriors have only six days to save the Earth from an extra-dimensional invasion.”
Critic Review: “It’s another of those movies that sets the mind to dreaming of a revised ratings system, one that might include a new category: A (adults admitted only when accompanied by a simple-minded 10-year-old).”
-Lawrence Van Gelder / New York Times
1998: The Avengers
Critic Score: 12/100
User Score: 3.7/10
Synopsis: “Two British agents team up to stop Sir August de Wynter from destroying the world with a weather-changing machine.”
Critic Review: “When a movie is really, really bad, they don’t screen it at all. Reviewers must go to the theaters on Friday and run back to the office to write for Saturday, a day many people don’t see a newspaper. This was the case with “The Avengers.””
-Barbara Shulgasser / San Francisco Examiner
1999: baby Geniuses

Synopsis: “Scientist hold talking, super-intelligent babies captive, but things take a turn for the worse when a mix-up occurs between a baby genius and its twin.”

-Roger Ebert
2000: Strippers
Critic Score: 5/100
User Score: 4.3/10
Synopsis: “In a disastrous economy, after loosing his job, Alan dreams a series of bizarre comedic worst case scenarios that could happen if society’s “strippers” get a hold of him.”
Critic Review: “Jorge Ameer’s ”Strippers” belongs to that vast cinematic underbelly of semiprofessional made-for-video movies that for reasons known only to God are lucky enough to enjoy a thoroughly undeserved theatrical release.”
-Jorge Ameer / New York Times
2001: Freddy Got Fingered
Critic Score: 13/100
User Score: 4.5/10
Synopsis: “An unemployed cartoonist moves back in with his parents and younger brother Freddy. When his parents demand he leave, he begins to spread rumors that his father is sexually abusing Freddy.”
Critic Review: “This movie doesn’t scrape the bottom of the barrel. This movie isn’t the bottom of the barrel. This movie isn’t below the bottom of the barrel. This movie doesn’t deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence with barrels.”
-Roger Ebert
2002: Vulgar
Critic Score: 5/100
User Score: 5.3/10
Synopsis: “A man who performs as a children’s birthday party clown tries to piece his life back together after being gang-raped.”
Critic Review: “To call it a comedy suggests there may be laughs in it; the only laughter Vulgar generates are the kind of involuntary chortles you expel from the back of your throat when you see something that affects your lower digestive system.”
-Buzz McClain / AllMovie
2003: The Singing Forest
Critic Score: 1/100
User Score: 1.6/10
Synopsis: “Two lovers are killed during the Holocaust. One reincarnates first. He has a twenty two year old daughter who falls in love with who her father believes is his past life lover.”

-Stephen Holden / New York Times

User Score: 2.9/10
Synopsis: “A pair of losers marry two elderly sisters, thinking they’ll inherit their fortune and Beverly Hills estate.”
Critic Review: “Imagine a horrible parallel universe, where Pauly Shore is allowed to direct a remake of “Harold and Maude.” The result couldn’t be much worse than “National Lampoon’s Gold Diggers,” a movie so filled with contemptible, ugly and unfunny characters that it is physically difficult to watch.”
-Peter Hartlaub / San Francisco Chronicle
2005: Chaos
Critic Score: 1/100
User Score: 3.2/10
Synopsis: “Two girls, looking to score some ecstasy at a rave, follow a young man to a house where terror awaits. There, a gang of felons capture and torment the girls, drawing them into a nightmare of violence.”
Critic Review: “A film I regret having seen. I urge you to avoid it. Don’t make the mistake of thinking it’s “only” a horror film, or a slasher film. It is an exercise in heartless cruelty and it ends with careless brutality. The movie denies not only the value of life, but the possibility of hope.”
-Roger Ebert
2006: Date Movie
Critic Score: 11/100
User Score: 2.7/10
Synopsis: “Spoof of romantic comedies which focuses on a man, his crush, his parents, and her father.”

User Score: 3.0/10
Synopsis: “Seeking to offer his son the satisfying summer camp experience that eluded him as a child, the operator of a neighborhood daycare center opens his own camp, only to face financial hardship and stiff competition from a rival camp.”
Critic Review: “If you looked in the dictionary under the word “boring,” after the variety of definitions we’ve all become familiar with you would see a more recent addition: any of Cuba Gooding Jr.’s “family friendly” films […] ‘Daddy Day Camp’ is so bland and tasteless it looks like Gooding himself had trouble staying awake during half the scenes. ”

User Score: 1.9/10
Synopsis: “A woman agrees to go on a date with a man only if he finds a suitor for her unattractive best friend.”
Critic Review: “We’ll always have Paris, at least to kick around, thanks to a zombiefied performance worthy of George Romero in this limp-dick of a comedy.”
-Peter Travers / Rolling Stone
Critic Score: 7/100
User Score: 5.0/10
Synopsis: “A young man awakens from a four-year coma to hear that his once virginal high-school sweetheart has since become a centerfold in one of the world’s most famous men’s magazines.”
Critic Review: “This is bad. Not bad in a way that it might be fun to see when inebriated. Bad in a way from which only death provides immunity. Forget waterboarding – just show Guantanamo detainees Miss March and they’ll say anything.”
-James Berardinelli / Reel Views
*Editors opinion: Whitest Kids U’ Know is one of the greatest shows ever.
Critic Score: 18/100
User Score: 3.5/10
Synopsis: “A spoof of vampire-themed movies, where teenager Becca finds herself torn between two boys. As she and her friends wrestle with a number of different dramas, everything comes to a head at their prom.”
Critic Review: “…it’s the best of the bunch. Not because it’s good, but because it’s only unbelievably boring while all the others have been unbearably irritating.”
-Josh Tyler / Cinema Blend
Critic Score: 9/100
User Score: 3.3/10
Synopsis: “A kid from the Midwest moves out to Hollywood in order to follow in his parents footsteps — and become a porn star.”

Critic Review: “Lean, nasty, and patently absurd, ‘The Tortured’ plays like one long scream of agony.”
-The Village Voice
Critic Score: 11/100
User Score: 3.5/10
Synopsis: “A couple begin to experience some unusual activity after bringing their lost nieces and nephew home. With the help of home-surveillance cameras, they learn they’re being stalked by a nefarious demon.”
Critic Review: “It’s not only that none of the spoofs are even remotely funny (most of the gags are either to do with physical pain or flatulence issues), but also that none feel appropriate enough for the films target audience.”
-Jamie Neish / Empty Screens
Critic Score: 8/100
User Score: 4.1/10
Synopsis: “A sewage worker gets trapped inside a septic tank during a water contamination crisis and undergoes a hideous transformation.”
Critic Review: “Nasty, disgusting, and every bit as ugly-looking as its otherwise apt title implies, but worst of all painfully pointless, stupid, and boring as hell, “Septic Man” does absolutely nothing right, other than grossing you out with its repulsive images to the point of throwing up”
Geroge Beremov / Cine Marvellous
Critic Score: 1/100
User Score: 2.1/10
Synopsis: “Follows the passing of the FIFA baton through three association presidents: Jules Rimet, Joao Havelange, and Sepp Blatter.”
Critic Review: “What follows should be a gripping, informative drama traversing world wars and world politics… what actually follows is car crash you can’t help but rubber-neck… this is FIFA’s attempt at cinema, this is United Passions…”
-Mirror UK
Critic Score: 2/100
User Score: 5.5/10
Synopsis: “Documentarian Dinesh D’Souza analyzes the history of the Democratic Party and what he thinks are Hillary Clinton’s true motivations.”
Critic Review: “Little more than an extended version of the kind of political screeds that can be found online with only a minimum of effort, this is just a terrible movie.”
-Roger Ebert
2017: The Emoji Movie
Critic Score: 12/100
User Score: 2.9/10
Synopsis: “Gene, a multi-expressional emoji, sets out on a journey to become a normal emoji.”
Critic Review: “It is one of the darkest, most dismaying films I have ever seen, much less one ostensibly made for children.”
-Emily Yoshida / Vulture

The movie was released in 2016. Ebert died in 2013. Unless he's been able to send his reviews from Hell (I imagine they wouldn't have any problem securing the film itself, seeing as how Hillary was Lucifer's candidate), there's no way Ebert could have reviewed this film. So either the review is fake, the review is wrongly attributed, or this is just some political hit piece. The middle one is most likely, although the last is possible, too.
