Top Ten Worst Movies Midway Through 2008

Picking only ten was the hard part...

Fool's Gold

I have already reviewed this film twice (theatrical and Blu-ray) and I am not sure there is much more to say. Fool's Gold is an example of what happens when you try to stuff too much into a romantic-comedy, ultimately turning it into a damn near two hour movie when it really should have been only 80 minutes, and at that length it may have actually been tolerable.

What Happens in Vegas

Let's watch the trailer and together we will see what is wrong with this movie:

  • "Don't get me wrong, you're like a son to me." "Dad, I am your son."
  • Falling off the bar… She's okay!
  • "Sentencing you two to six months… hard marriage."
  • Dropping girl on floor
  • Peeing in the sink
  • Beating via baguette
  • Taking the toilet seat

These are the clips from the film Fox felt would get the audience into the theaters. It worked to the tune of $78 million. These people should be put on suicide watch because they obviously hate themselves. Oh, and this trailer didn't even have the scene where Ashton puts popcorn down his pants, nope, that gem was saved for a second preview.

Be Kind Rewind

This film is here simply because it is an absolute borefest that makes zero goddamn sense. If you watch closely you can actually see this film falling apart as each frame passes until the end arrives and you are in utter shock at what is left of the film that started a mere 100 minutes ago.

Leatherheads

Talk about needless films. Yeah, see, let's make us a '20s style football comedy. It'll be a humdinger. Yeah, thanks Clooney.

The only movie I have seen from this list is Zohan, and it was some shitty bootleg my friend had. I'm glad I havn't spent money on these movies.

I think that 10,000 B.C. should have been on the list though. I know you mentioned it but, oh my god did that movie blow! Ten minutes into the movie I couldn't wait for it to be over. But those other movies must be much worse to be ahead of 10,000 B.C.

10,000 B.C. is awful, but I think I could tolerate a second viewing of that and the rest of the honorable mention titles far more than any of the films that actually ended up in the top ten. The idea of "what if I had to watch these one more time" played a large role in which ones made the ten and those that were just on the outside.

Maybe I should give 10,000 B.C. another chance. I think I was doing my taxes online while at the same time trying to watch the movie. That could be a reason why I didn't enjoy it.

@ravidlaz: okay, so maybe my opinions don't matter, but i've seen a bunch of movies on this list such as made of honor, what happens in vegas, drillbit taylor, don't mess with the zohan, 21, and jumper. i could definitely understand why don't mess with the zohan and drillbit taylor are on this list. maybe even what happens in vegas.. but come on! 21 is one of my favorite movies. i saw 10,000 BC also. yeah, it was difficult to grasp because it was so much different from what i'm used to, but i thought it was pretty good. i really think mamma mia! should be on this list. i saw it for the first time last weekend and honestly it was difficult to watch. haha. it's not even remotely good. okay, i'm done ranting. bye :)
