- DirectorJohn Cameron MitchellStarsNicole KidmanAaron EckhartDianne WiestLife for a happy couple is turned upside down after their young son dies in an accident.My dad made me watch this movie a few years ago and he really liked it but I absolutely hated it. I really didn't like the message of the movie. Basically the only reason the couple stay together is to put on a show. Pretend everything is alright even though they are on the brink of divorce. I know people grieve in different ways but I didn't like how the characters acted after their son died. The woman was very mean and angry (she even slaps a mother in a grocery store across the face because she wouldn't buy her son fruit snacks...). The man skipped out on support group meetings with a woman he became friends with and they decided to smoke weed in her car instead. And the couple together just weren't very nice people. They were very high strung and annoyed every time someone tried to comfort them. Sure, not everyone is good at comforting people but you could at least appreciate the effort. Also, I'm not sure 100% but the score sounded completely recycled from other films.
- DirectorBrad SilberlingStarsWill FerrellDanny McBrideAnna FrielA space-time vortex sucks scientist Rick Marshall, his assistant Holly and a survivalist Will into a world populated by dinosaurs and painfully slow creatures called Sleestaks.This one is just stupid. I went in expecting a fun comedy film with a little violence (I assumed that was the reason for the PG13 rating) and instead I ended up watching a vulgar film with almost no plot. It's really a shame because I remembered being really excited to see this movie and it was just awful.
- DirectorEric DarnellTim JohnsonLawrence GutermanStarsWoody AllenSharon StoneGene HackmanA rather neurotic ant tries to break from his totalitarian society while trying to win the affection of the princess he loves.Besides the fact that it's a blatant ripoff of "A Bug's Life", which is one of my very favorite Pixar films (hands down over the "Toy Story" series), this movie is completely adult for no reason and the jokes aren't even that funny. I watched about 40 minutes of it recently and I had to turn it off.
- DirectorJosh BooneStarsShailene WoodleyAnsel ElgortNat WolffHazel and Gus are teenagers who meet at a cancer support group and fall in love. They both share the same acerbic wit and a love of books, especially "An Imperial Affliction", so they embark on a journey to visit an author in Amsterdam.This is another one a family member begged me to see. My cousins had read the book and they had seen the movie multiple times so they dragged me and some of their friends along to see it. I thought the romance was completely unrealistic. Teenagers don't act like this! What I mean is Hazel and Augustus are like 80 year olds. Sure, maybe one person in a relationship might have a more mature personality but not both of them. I thought Augustus's metaphor with the cigarettes was stupid and disgusting. Really? You're going to waste your money buying cigarettes just to make a point? He even goes out to get a pack when his cancer relapses, risking his life in the process. The teen sex scene was gratuitous and dumb, does there really need to be one in every teen romance movie/book? And this is another film that I didn't like the message of. After Augustus dies Hazel speaks at his funeral. Instead of saying how she really felt, she told some empty lies about him because "that's what people wanted to hear". I can't think of anything more disrespectful to his memory. I did end up leaving the theatre in tears, but not because of the romance, but because of how depressing the message was. What I got out of it was "Curse God because he just gave you these challenges to mess with you. Life is hell and there's no point in trying to have a good one because that's all it will ever be." It probably didn't help that I had just gotten over a major depression, but I just felt like the movie wasn't a good example for people.
- DirectorM. Night ShyamalanStarsNoah RingerNicola Peltz BeckhamJackson RathboneAang, a young successor to a long line of Avatars, must master all four elements and stop the Fire Nation from enslaving the Water Tribes and the Earth Kingdom.This one is another absolute shame. The writers and director took everything that was good about the cartoon and they destroyed it. There wasn't even any comic relief in between the seriousness. The characters were one dimensional and completely different from the original. Sokka was NEVER serious! I don't know how they could even pass this one off as anything close to Avatar: The Last Airbender because it was so boring. I also didn't like how Zuko's scar was practically nonexistant. That's like a defining feature of him and they took that away. I couldn't even get past the hour mark on this one.
- DirectorJames CameronStarsSam WorthingtonZoe SaldanaSigourney WeaverA paraplegic Marine dispatched to the moon Pandora on a unique mission becomes torn between following his orders and protecting the world he feels is his home.Now I'm going to start revealing some unpopular opinions. I never thought that "Avatar" was any where near as good as the hype suggested. The effects were good, but that's about it. The acting was awful, the storyline was threadbare (and plagiarized Disney's Pocahontas), and it was just boring.
- DirectorEmile ArdolinoStarsPatrick SwayzeJennifer GreyJerry OrbachSpending the summer at a Catskills resort with her family, Frances "Baby" Houseman falls in love with the camp's dance instructor, Johnny Castle.I was really excited to watch this one when it was on Netflix but I ended up being disappointed. I don't really understand why this movie is so beloved. The dancing wasn't that great and the "dirty dancing" was disgusting. I get that that's the point, but it was borderline pornographic. Once again, the acting was bad, the storyline was bad (especially the side storyline with the botched abortion. It really didn't fit in with the rest of the film at all), and I didn't feel fulfilled when it ended. Also I didn't really feel the romance between Baby and whatever the guy's name was.
- DirectorJohn HughesStarsMolly RingwaldAnthony Michael HallJustin HenryA girl's "sweet" sixteenth birthday is anything but special: her family forgets about it, and she suffers from every embarrassment possible.The main character in this one is the quintessential b**ch. I definitely didn't connect with her in any way. She was bratty for no reason. Total first world problems. There was absolutely nothing charming or memorable about this one.
- DirectorBurr SteersStarsZac EfronMatthew PerryLeslie MannMike O'Donnell is ungrateful for how his life turned out. He gets a chance to rewrite his life when he tried to save a janitor near a bridge and jumped after him into a time vortex.This one was dumb. Number 1 I know for a fact that this is a ripoff of the Disney Channel movie called "Seventeen Again". I mean seriously, the titles and themes aren't a coincidence. Lots of unfunny, vulgar jokes and the characters weren't really likable in any way.
- DirectorChris RenaudKyle BaldaStarsZac EfronTaylor SwiftDanny DeVitoA 12-year-old boy searches for the one thing that will enable him to win the affection of the girl of his dreams. To find it he must discover the story of the Lorax, the grumpy yet charming creature who fights to protect his world.For the animated movies on this list I have pretty much the same opinion. The jokes are either too childlike or too adult. The animation is usually too stylized and ugly (even Shrek, was the point to make every single character ugly? Even the fairest of them all?). For the Lorax and Thumbellina, the music was the worst. Most of the songs were forgettable and not something I would want to put on my ipod or play at my wedding like I do with classic Disney songs. And the rest of the songs were maddeningly catchy (in a bad way) they get stuck in your head and the lyrics and music are awkward and un-clever.

- DirectorTom HooperStarsHugh JackmanRussell CroweAnne HathawayIn 19th-century France, Jean Valjean, who for decades has been hunted by the ruthless policeman Javert after breaking parole, agrees to care for a factory worker's daughter. The decision changes their lives forever.This one was another major disappointment. First, I hated that they didn't get enough real Broadway stars for the film. Hugh Jackman and Aaron Tveit were the best in the movie but even the directing did a lot to stifle their talent. Most of the time Hugh Jackman sounded like he was being strangled, and I know he has amazing talent so that wasn't his fault. I'm not a huge fan of Amanda Seyfried in musicals. She was ok in Mamma Mia but I wasn't happy with her being cast as Cosette. The actors were "supposed" to be singing live but when Seyfried was on the screen it was apparent that she was not, especially in Cosette's upper register. She didn't even breathe well enough to reach those high notes. I have a love/hate relationship with the Thenardiers in this film. Yes they were funny and awful at the same time but I think it was taken a bit too far. Actually I think the movie took a lot of things too far. The musical is quite dark but they leave a lot of the dark stuff to your imagination (for example, Fantine's work as a prostitute. They don't show anything onstage but you know it's happening). There are things the audience just doesn't need to see. Showing stuff like that cheapens it, in my opinion. Once again, all the characters were stylized as far too ugly. Do I really need to see every wrinkle on Aaron Tveit's face? No. The extreme closeups made me feel claustrophobic. Even the few times they pulled out to wider shots it felt too boxed in. I was constantly reminded that I was watching a movie instead of being transported into the world. Last rant, when Fantine and Eponine visit Jean Valjean as angels, Fantine should have had her long hair back. It wasn't a hallucination, they were actually supposed to be there. I'm pretty sure in heaven you don't end up looking exactly as you had when you died. This isn't Beetlejuice. Anne Hathaway did have her hair cut onscreen but they could have at least given her a wig or extensions.
