Clerks

I hated Superbad--people were just raving, and I got bored after about 20 minutes of d!ck jokes.

And ditto to whoever said Brazil. Sometimes I think Terry Gilliam gets so caught up in his vision that he forgets to be engaging to the audience.

The Ring

Supposed to be scary but I just kept laughing like crazy when she climbed out of the TV.

I was using IMDb and Rotten Tomatoes as references, they got decent to good ratings on both sites.

I haven't seen either one, but I seem to recall Natural Born Killers causing a very polarized reaction. Even among people I know some considered it pure trash and others thought it was a successful/brilliant indictment of the media's obsession with criminals.
