1. Mommie Dearest (1981)

R | 129 min | Biography, Drama

55 Metascore

The abusive and traumatic adoptive upbringing of Christina Crawford at the hands of her mother, screen queen Joan Crawford, is depicted.

Director: Frank Perry | Stars: Faye Dunaway, Diana Scarwid, Steve Forrest, Howard Da Silva

Votes: 18,358 | Gross: $19.03M

Perfectly fine drama about an abusive mother did not deserve to win 6 Razzies, including worst picture of the decade. Faye Dunaway is legitimately good as Joan Crawford and the other actors are fine as well. There are some over-the-top scenes, sure, but worst of the decade? Hell no. Should've won: Tarzan, the Ape Man

2. Rambo: First Blood Part II (1985)

R | 96 min | Action, Adventure, Thriller

47 Metascore

Rambo returns to the jungles of Vietnam on a mission to infiltrate an enemy base-camp and rescue the American POWs still held captive there.

Director: George P. Cosmatos | Stars: Sylvester Stallone, Richard Crenna, Charles Napier, Steven Berkoff

Votes: 182,576 | Gross: $150.42M

Cheesy but very entertaining action movie has explosions, guns, and it influenced a ton of action movies. Then again, the Razzies hate fun, almost as much as they hate 12-year-old girls. Should've won: Howling 2: Your Sister is a Werewolf (not nominated)

3. Blonde (2022)

NC-17 | 167 min | Drama, History

50 Metascore

The story of American actress Marilyn Monroe, covering her love and professional lives.

Director: Andrew Dominik | Stars: Ana de Armas, Lily Fisher, Julianne Nicholson, Tygh Runyan

Votes: 72,011

Biopic about Marilyn Monroe tries to provide deep commentary on the abuse she faced in her life. Problem is, Monroe’s entire character in the film is “tragic sexually abused woman” which makes the film’s graphic depictions feel shallow and exploitative. Even so, Ana de Armas’ Oscar-nominated performance as Monroe is amazing and the film is visually inventive and ambitious. That alone should remove it from consideration as the year’s worst. Should've won: 365 Days: This Day (not nominated)

4. Shining Through (1992)

R | 132 min | Drama, Romance, Thriller

An American woman of Irish and Jewish-German parentage goes undercover in Nazi Germany.

Director: David Seltzer | Stars: Michael Douglas, Melanie Griffith, Liam Neeson, Joely Richardson

Votes: 10,746 | Gross: $21.73M

Watchable drama set during the holocaust is very unrealistic. Woman who just so happens to know German becomes a Nazi-Spy because she knows a lot from movies? Melanie Griffith’s acting is also very wooden, especially when she narrates. Should've won: Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot (not nominated)

5. Indecent Proposal (1993)

R | 117 min | Drama, Romance

45 Metascore

A billionaire offers $1,000,000 to a young married couple for one night with the wife.

Director: Adrian Lyne | Stars: Robert Redford, Demi Moore, Woody Harrelson, Seymour Cassel

Votes: 78,170 | Gross: $106.61M

Interesting movie about a millionaire who pays a couple for the wife to stay with him for one night is ruined by wooden acting and ridiculous plot points. It is never remotely convincing that the wife would fall in love with the billionaire. The film is still watchable, though, so I guess a better name for it would have been Quarter-decent Proposal. Should've won: Super Mario Bros (not nominated)

6. Cocktail (1988)

R | 104 min | Comedy, Drama, Romance

12 Metascore

A talented New York City bartender takes a job at a bar in Jamaica and falls in love.

Director: Roger Donaldson | Stars: Tom Cruise, Bryan Brown, Elisabeth Shue, Lisa Banes

Votes: 91,914 | Gross: $78.22M

Predictable drama starring Tom Cruise is hard to take seriously, and its messages about how love is more important than money are utterly contrived. The film isn’t bad though. Just mediocre. Plus, Kokomo by the Beach Boys absolutely slaps. Should've won: Caddyshack II or Mac and Me

7. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2 (2012)

PG-13 | 115 min | Adventure, Drama, Fantasy

52 Metascore

After the birth of Renesmee/Nessie, the Cullens gather other vampire clans in order to protect the child from a false allegation that puts the family in front of the Volturi.

Director: Bill Condon | Stars: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Peter Facinelli

Votes: 262,968 | Gross: $292.30M

The fifth and final Twilight film has the same wooden acting and melodramatic tone people have come to expect from the series. The only difference is we get to see Bella and Edward’s daughter, who starts out as a hideous CGI abomination and matures to become Jacob’s wife. Geez Jacob, I know you’re probably still bummed about losing Bella to Edward but going after their daughter is no way to enlighten yourself. The only redeeming quality of this film is Michael Sheen’s wonderfully hammy performance as the villain and the final battle scene is kinda entertaining even if it turns out to be just a vision. Matter of fact, let’s pretend this entire series was just a vision. Should've won: That's My Boy

8. Fifty Shades of Grey (2015)

R | 125 min | Drama, Romance, Thriller

46 Metascore

Literature student Anastasia Steele's life changes forever when she meets handsome, yet tormented, billionaire Christian Grey.

Director: Sam Taylor-Johnson | Stars: Dakota Johnson, Jamie Dornan, Jennifer Ehle, Eloise Mumford

Votes: 335,874 | Gross: $166.17M

Here’s another movie where a clueless woman gets seduced by a billionaire, only even less convincing as Jamie Dornan is no Robert Redford. Him and Dakota Johnson talk in the same monotone voice for the entire movie and utter lines that make them sound like aliens (“this is fifty shades of f**ked up”). Another disappointment is that the character Ana Steele doesn’t shout “Holy Cow” over and over during the film’s sex scenes like in the book. Should've won: Fantastic Four (tied with it for Worst Picture)

9. Basic Instinct 2 (2006)

R | 114 min | Drama, Mystery, Thriller

26 Metascore

Novelist Catherine Tramell is once again in trouble with the law, and Scotland Yard appoints psychiatrist Dr. Michael Glass to evaluate her. Though, like Detective Nick Curran before him, Glass is entranced by Tramell and lured into a seductive game.

Director: Michael Caton-Jones | Stars: Sharon Stone, David Morrissey, David Thewlis, Stan Collymore

Votes: 41,603 | Gross: $5.97M

Sequel to the 90s thriller is little more than a bland rehash of the original. The movie never convinces us that the main character Dr. Glass would be seduced by Sharon Stone’s character which just makes him look brainless. She even admits to killing his wife in one scene but still manages to lure him into bed. I guess you could say he lacked a “basic instinct”. That pun was still better than the movie’s dialogue which uses big boy words like cum in every sentence to sound sexy. Should've won: Pledge This (not nominated)

10. Wild Wild West (1999)

PG-13 | 106 min | Action, Comedy, Sci-Fi

40 Metascore

The two best special agents in the Wild West must save President Grant from the clutches of a diabolical, wheelchair-bound, steampunk-savvy, Confederate scientist bent on revenge for losing the Civil War.

Director: Barry Sonnenfeld | Stars: Will Smith, Kevin Kline, Kenneth Branagh, Salma Hayek

Votes: 167,327 | Gross: $113.81M

Lame action movie isn’t cheesy fun like Independence Day. It’s just plain stupid. The one-liners are weak (“No more Mr. ‘Knife’ Guy”), and the main villain’s accent is terrible. Will Smith is the only decent part of this, along with a few good action scenes. Should've won: Baby Geniuses (not nominated)

11. The Postman (1997)

R | 177 min | Action, Adventure, Drama

29 Metascore

A nameless drifter dons a postman's uniform and bag of mail as he begins a quest to inspire hope to the survivors living in post-apocalyptic America.

Director: Kevin Costner | Stars: Kevin Costner, Will Patton, Larenz Tate, Olivia Williams

Votes: 78,345 | Gross: $17.63M

The Postman (1997) Kevin Costner stars, directs, produces, and even sings in this 3-hour post-apocalyptic epic. Except it’s not epic, with a level of schmaltz that would make Hallmark movies cringe. The dialogue, messages, music, and use of slo-mo all reek of cheese. Costner may have brought hope to America, but not to his career. Should've won: Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (not nominated)

12. Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (1989)

PG | 107 min | Action, Adventure, Fantasy

43 Metascore

Captain Kirk and his crew must deal with Mr. Spock's long-lost half-brother who hijacks the Enterprise for an obsessive search for God at the center of the galaxy.

Director: William Shatner | Stars: William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelley, James Doohan

Votes: 64,224 | Gross: $52.21M

Easily the worst movie in the Star Trek series. The plot is boring and there is no tension or character development. There is also far too much preaching about god. I came here to watch Star Trek, not God’s Not Dead. Come to think of it, the third Star Trek movie could have been called Spock’s Not Dead. Should've won: Going Overboard (not nominated)

13. Under the Cherry Moon (1986)

PG-13 | 100 min | Comedy, Drama, Music

36 Metascore

Two con artist brothers attempt to swindle a soon-to-be wealthy heiress, but things get complicated when one falls in love with her.

Directors: Prince, Michael Ballhaus | Stars: Prince, Jerome Benton, Kristin Scott Thomas, Steven Berkoff

Votes: 3,835 | Gross: $10.09M

Prince shows that he should have stuck to singing in this predictable romance. Prince’s acting is lackluster and Jerome Benton (I’m sorry, who?) is laughable, spouting some of the film's dumbest lines. In one of the first scenes, Prince plays with a rubber ducky in a bathtub like he’s Ernie from Sesame Street. They should have called this movie “Acid Rain”. Should've won: Howard the Duck (tied with it for Worst Picture)

14. Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (2009)

PG-13 | 149 min | Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi

35 Metascore

Sam Witwicky leaves the Autobots behind for a normal life. But when his mind is filled with cryptic symbols, the Decepticons target him and he is dragged back into the Transformers' war.

Director: Michael Bay | Stars: Shia LaBeouf, Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson

Votes: 428,607 | Gross: $402.11M

Explosions, one-note characters, explosions, mindless action, explosions, robot testicles. Did I forget to say explosions? Should've won: Dragonball Evolution (not nominated)

15. Striptease (1996)

R | 115 min | Comedy, Crime, Drama

37 Metascore

A stripper and single mother gets dragged into a dangerous situation after a congressman takes a fancy to her.

Director: Andrew Bergman | Stars: Demi Moore, Burt Reynolds, Armand Assante, Ving Rhames

Votes: 48,067 | Gross: $33.11M

Lackluster erotic thriller doesn’t know if it wants to be serious or silly. Demi Moore’s acting is very wooden, and the other actors are painfully campy. The plot is all over the place, and the climax (which results in the bad guys getting doused with sugar) is insultingly stupid. Also, way too many erotic dancing scenes. Hopefully, Chris Rock won’t predict a Striptease 2 anytime soon. Should've won: Bio-Dome (not nominated)

16. Color of Night (1994)

R | 121 min | Drama, Mystery, Romance

36 Metascore

A color-blind psychoanalyst is stalked by an unknown killer after taking over his murdered friend's therapy group, all of whom have a connection to a mysterious young woman that he begins having intense sexual encounters with.

Director: Richard Rush | Stars: Bruce Willis, Jane March, Rubén Blades, Lesley Ann Warren

Votes: 25,760 | Gross: $19.72M

In this thriller, Bruce Willis plays a colorblind psychologist, and I think I became blind after the film showed me his willie. He has an affair with a woman named Rose and they have sex in an alleyway, a pool, on a table, and in a bathtub. It’s later revealed that Rose disguised herself as a mentally challenged boy with glasses in a performance that would make the producers of Simple Jack offended. Should've won: North

17. Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey (2023)

Not Rated | 84 min | Horror

16 Metascore

After Christopher Robin abandons them for college, Pooh and Piglet embark on a bloody rampage as they search for a new source of food.

Director: Rhys Frake-Waterfield | Stars: Nikolai Leon, Maria Taylor, Natasha Rose Mills, Amber Doig-Thorne

Votes: 28,461

In this retelling of the beloved children’s book, Winnie-the Pooh and friends become feral, bloodthirsty killers after Christopher Robin leaves for college. When he returns as an adult, Pooh and Piglet imprison and torture him as well as a group of random women. Horror cliches abound, complete with terrible acting and laughable costumes for Pooh and Piglet. The film is entertaining during it's gory moments, though, and is fun to watch with others. Should've won: Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey

18. Holmes & Watson (2018)

PG-13 | 90 min | Comedy, Crime, Mystery

24 Metascore

A humorous take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic mysteries featuring Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson.

Director: Etan Cohen | Stars: Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly, Ralph Fiennes, Rebecca Hall

Votes: 39,409 | Gross: $30.57M

Elementary, my dear Watson is a fitting description for this disappointing Sherlock Holmes parody that might as well have been written by elementary schoolers. Jokes about duck lips, fake mustaches, women being doctors, etc would’ve been dated in the time period this film takes place. It doesn't help that Ferrell and Reilly scream all their lines like they're in constant fear of staying irrelevant. Some may have put it lower on the list but a few jokes made me chuckle (don’t kill me). Should've won: Death of a Nation (not nominated)

19. Can't Stop the Music (1980)

PG | 124 min | Biography, Comedy, Musical

A pseudo autobiography of disco's The Village People.

Director: Nancy Walker | Stars: Ray Simpson, David Hodo, Felipe Rose, Randy Jones

Votes: 4,498 | Gross: $2.00M

The very first movie to win worst picture at the Razzies is still pretty bad all these years later. Fictionalizing how the Village People music group got together, the film is full of bad acting, stereotypes, and music sequences that compare to a fever dream. I never thought I’d hear a “funky” song about milk. Should've won: Can't Stop the Music

20. Fantastic Four (2015)

PG-13 | 100 min | Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi

27 Metascore

Four young outsiders teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe which alters their physical form in shocking ways. The four must learn to harness their new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy.

Director: Josh Trank | Stars: Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Bell

Votes: 176,648 | Gross: $56.12M

Disappointing reboot of the popular superhero team feels very rushed. Most of the movie is setting up how the characters get their powers, so when they finally do, there’s only about half an hour left. Because of this, most of the movie simply leads to a rushed climax. They also completely botched up Doctor Doom (in both character and design). Should've won: Fantastic Four

21. The Lonely Lady (1983)

R | 92 min | Drama

Hoping to achieve success in Hollywood, a young aspiring screenwriter allows others to exploit her. She goes through affair after sordid affair in her attempt to write her own screenplay and have it produced.

Director: Peter Sasdy | Stars: Pia Zadora, Lloyd Bochner, Bibi Besch, Joseph Cali

Votes: 1,287 | Gross: $1.22M

Pia Zadora (of Santa Claus Conquers the Martians fame) plays a high school student who attempts to become a screenwriter but is forced to have sex with abusive men in the business to reach the top. Despite being a commentary on abuse women face in the business, the film is all too comfortable showing Zadora’s boobs when given the chance, even when her character is underage. Also, rest in peace to the typewriter she viciously smashes during the film’s best scene. Should've won: The Lonely Lady

22. Catwoman (2004)

PG-13 | 104 min | Action, Crime, Fantasy

27 Metascore

A shy woman, endowed with the speed, reflexes, and senses of a cat, walks a thin line between criminal and hero, even as a detective doggedly pursues her, fascinated by both of her personas.

Director: Pitof | Stars: Halle Berry, Sharon Stone, Benjamin Bratt, Lambert Wilson

Votes: 125,827 | Gross: $40.20M

Halle Berry plays the DC character and gives a very lackluster performance in this superhero flop. The dialogue is cheesy, and the editing and visuals are amateurish. There’s also this random basketball scene where Berry twerks. I get that it's meant to show off her new cat powers but when’s the last time you saw a cat twerk? I have two cats and the only time they twerk is when they’re running from my dog Kya. Should've won: Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2

23. Cats (2019)

PG | 110 min | Comedy, Drama, Family

32 Metascore

A tribe of cats called the Jellicles must decide yearly which one will ascend to the Heaviside Layer and come back to a new Jellicle life.

Director: Tom Hooper | Stars: James Corden, Judi Dench, Jason Derulo, Idris Elba

Votes: 55,930

Two movies about cats in a row. Based off of the popular Broadway musical, Cats received a lot of hate for its ugly CGI. Indeed, it looks ugly. The cats look like humans with fur, and there are several glitches in the animation that had to be patched out. The story is also repetitive, as all that really happens is one cat shows up, they do a musical number, another cat shows up, they do a musical number, another cat shows up, they do a musical… I think you get the point. Should've won: Cats or Loqueesha (not nominated)

24. Swept Away (2002)

R | 89 min | Comedy, Romance

18 Metascore

A snooty socialite is stranded on a Mediterranean island with a communist sailor.

Director: Guy Ritchie | Stars: Madonna, Adriano Giannini, Bruce Greenwood, Elizabeth Banks

Votes: 17,879 | Gross: $0.01M

Madonna gives arguably her worst acting performance in this seawreck. The two leads constantly bicker and abuse each other throughout most of the film, but then they fall in love for some reason. It’s no wonder this film “swept” the Razzies. Should've won: Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (not nominated) or Swept Away

25. Showgirls (1995)

NC-17 | 128 min | Drama

23 Metascore

A mysterious young drifter who calls herself Nomi Malone hitches a ride to Las Vegas, Nevada, and begins working as a strip club dancer, and sets about clawing her way to the top of the Vegas showgirls.

Director: Paul Verhoeven | Stars: Elizabeth Berkley, Kyle MacLachlan, Gina Gershon, Glenn Plummer

Votes: 74,679 | Gross: $20.30M

The director was clearly from “different places” when he made this erotic drama about a girl who seemingly has a mental illness that forces her to overreact during any action, including squirting ketchup. It’s also possible she’s part dolphin as evident by how she flops around like a fish during one of the film's sex scenes. Should've won: It's Pat

26. The Love Guru (2008)

PG-13 | 87 min | Comedy, Romance, Sport

24 Metascore

Pitka, an American raised outside of his country by gurus, returns to the States in order to break into the self-help business. His first challenge is to settle the romantic troubles and subsequent professional skid of a star hockey player whose wife left him for a rival athlete.

Director: Marco Schnabel | Stars: Mike Myers, Jessica Alba, Romany Malco, Jessica Simpson

Votes: 54,986 | Gross: $32.24M

Mike Myers killed his career with this dreadful comedy about a really strange guru named Pitka. There are no laughs to be found, and do we really need to see elephants humping? If the Razzies had a “Worst Kiss” category, Mike Myers and Jessica Alba would have definitely won for this film. Should've won: Disaster Movie and Meet the Spartans

27. Howard the Duck (1986)

PG | 110 min | Action, Adventure, Comedy

28 Metascore

A sarcastic humanoid duck is pulled from his homeworld to Earth where he must stop an alien invasion with the help of a nerdy scientist and a struggling female rock singer.

Director: Willard Huyck | Stars: Lea Thompson, Jeffrey Jones, Tim Robbins, Ed Gale

Votes: 50,765 | Gross: $16.30M

George Lucas went from Star Wars to this? An animatronic duck lands on earth, sleeps with a human woman, defeats badly CGIed monsters, and becomes the manager of a rock band. Need I say more? Should've won: Howard the Duck

28. Diana (I) (2021)

PG-13 | 117 min | Biography, Drama, Musical

29 Metascore

The dazzling and devastating life of Princess Diana takes center stage in this original musical, filmed in advance of its official Broadway opening.

Director: Christopher Ashley | Stars: Jeanna de Waal, Roe Hartrampf, Erin Davie, Judy Kaye

Votes: 1,512

If you thought Cats was lacking in substance, this theatrical musical based on Princess Diana’s life is literally just a collection of corny, cringe-inducing songs with no structure or depth between them. There’s only like one set in the entire movie too. The high school Chicago play I was involved in had more effort put into it. Should've won: Diana: the Musical

29. Hillary's America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party (2016)

PG-13 | 106 min | Documentary, Biography, History

2 Metascore

Documentarian Dinesh D'Souza analyzes the history of the Democratic Party and what he thinks are Hillary Clinton's true motivations.

Directors: Dinesh D'Souza, Bruce Schooley | Stars: Dinesh D'Souza, Jonah Goldberg, David Guyette, Andrea Cohen

Votes: 7,796 | Gross: $13.10M

Propaganda about the Democratic Party has false information and lack of proof. Historical reenactments are poorly acted and produce unintentional laughs. The film’s director Dinesh D’Souza actually accepted the film’s Razzie wins in a video, stating that the movie only won because voters were mad that Trump won the election. Hilarious. Should've won: Hillary's America

30. Absolute Proof (2021)

120 min | Documentary

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell's film claiming a Chinese cyberattack 'flipped' the 2020 election.

Directors: Brannon Howse, Mike Lindell | Stars: Mike Lindell, Phil Waldron, Russ Ramsland, Shiva Ayyadurai

Votes: 881

This documentary starring Mike Lindell (The MyPillow Guy) is like Hillary’s America, with false information and contrary to the title, lack of proof. It also contains a ton of random cuts to black, and Mike Lindell saying “wow” every 5 seconds. Only reason it’s not lower on the list is because it stretches the definition of a “film”. Should've won: 365 Days

31. The Last Airbender (2010)

PG | 103 min | Action, Adventure, Family

20 Metascore

Aang, 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.

Director: M. Night Shyamalan | Stars: Noah Ringer, Nicola Peltz Beckham, Jackson Rathbone, Dev Patel

Votes: 174,944 | Gross: $131.56M

M. Night Shyamulan’s worst film completely botched up its source material. Wooden acting, a rushed plot, and mediocre special effects are just a few of the problems here. They couldn’t even pronounce the main character’s name right. Should've won: The Last Airbender

32. I Know Who Killed Me (2007)

R | 105 min | Horror, Mystery, Thriller

16 Metascore

A young woman who was missing reappears, but she claims to be someone else entirely.

Director: Chris Sivertson | Stars: Lindsay Lohan, Julia Ormond, Neal McDonough, Bonnie Aarons

Votes: 30,891 | Gross: $7.50M

More like “I Know What Killed Lindsay Lohan’s Career”. This ridiculous horror movie expects us to believe that the main character has a twin sister even though all evidence in the movie suggests otherwise. Also, the piano teacher that appeared in one scene was the killer? Really? Should've won: I Know Who Killed Me

33. The Adventures of Ford Fairlane (1990)

R | 104 min | Action, Adventure, Comedy

24 Metascore

A vulgar private detective is hired to find a missing groupie and is drawn into a mystery involving a series of murders tied to the music industry.

Director: Renny Harlin | Stars: Andrew Dice Clay, Lauren Holly, Wayne Newton, Priscilla Presley

Votes: 19,253 | Gross: $21.41M

Andrew Dice Clay plays a “rock-&-roll detective” in this convoluted mess of a movie that shifts between being an obnoxiously “cool” 90s flick and a campy live-action cartoon. The dialogue reads like an senile elder trying to keep in touch with the youth. Ford Fairlane also has a pet koala who gets hung on a ceiling fan… for some reason. Should've won: Troll 2 (not nominated)

34. The Emoji Movie (2017)

PG | 86 min | Animation, Adventure, Comedy

12 Metascore

Gene, a multi-expressional emoji, sets out on a journey to become a normal emoji.

Director: Tony Leondis | Stars: T.J. Miller, James Corden, Anna Faris, Maya Rudolph

Votes: 71,120 | Gross: $86.09M

This review was just going to be an image of the poop emoji but IMDB won't allow supporting characters so yeah. Should've won: The Emoji Movie

35. Inchon (1981)

PG | 140 min | Drama, History, War

During the Korean War, General Douglas MacArthur masterminds the amphibious invasion of Inchon in September 1950.

Director: Terence Young | Stars: Laurence Olivier, Jacqueline Bisset, Ben Gazzara, Toshirô Mifune

Votes: 849 | Gross: $5.20M

Box office flop about the Korean War is one of the cheapest films on this list, as the sound quality, editing, and effects make indie films look like blockbusters. Lifeless acting and unintelligible dialogue only make it more unbearable. The film was such a bomb that today, it can only be watched on Youtube. Should've won: Inchon

36. Jack and Jill (I) (2011)

PG | 91 min | Comedy

23 Metascore

Family guy, Jack Sadelstein, prepares for the annual event he always dreads--the Thanksgiving visit of his fraternal twin sister, the needy, and passive-aggressive Jill, who then refuses to leave.

Director: Dennis Dugan | Stars: Adam Sandler, Katie Holmes, Al Pacino, Elodie Tougne

Votes: 90,459 | Gross: $74.16M

Dumb comedy starring Adam Sandler has him playing both Jack And Jill, the latter of which involves him dressing up in drag. The only laughs from this movie come from Jill being harmed in some way. They even dragged Al Pacino into this mess. It’s fitting that Jill destroys an Oscar trophy in the movie, because Adam Sandler will unlikely ever win an Oscar with movies like this. Should've won: Jack and Jill

37. An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn (1997)

R | 86 min | Comedy

When a rookie filmmaker with the unfortunate name Alan Smithee realizes he's an unwitting studio puppet, being forced to make a big-budget action movie he knows is horrible, he steals the master reels and tries to make a deal.

Director: Arthur Hiller | Stars: Ryan O'Neal, Coolio, Chuck D, Eric Idle

Votes: 3,771 | Gross: $0.05M

Parody of hollywood filmmaking is extremely boring and unfunny. It involves the making of this film called Trio which one character says is “worse than Showgirls”. Though the film is never shown, it’s still better than the movie it appears in. The director removed his name from this movie ironically enough, meaning that it now really is “An Alan Smithee Film”. Should've won: An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn

38. Battlefield Earth (2000)

PG-13 | 117 min | Action, Adventure, Sci-Fi

9 Metascore

It's the year 3000 A.D., and the Earth is lost to the alien race of Psychlos. Humanity is enslaved by these gold-thirsty tyrants, who are unaware that their 'man-animals' are about to ignite the rebellion of a lifetime.

Director: Roger Christian | Stars: John Travolta, Forest Whitaker, Barry Pepper, Kim Coates

Votes: 83,110 | Gross: $21.47M

Sci-Fi movie with John Travolta is laughably bad. Script, acting, and camera angles were clearly done by “rat brains”. The film has plot holes big enough to wipe out an entire population. Example: Jets buried for thousands of years start up immediately and have full gas tanks. Only worth watching for John Travolta’s over the top performance. Should've won: Battlefield Earth

39. Freddy Got Fingered (2001)

R | 87 min | Comedy

13 Metascore

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.

Director: Tom Green | Stars: Tom Green, Rip Torn, Marisa Coughlan, Eddie Kaye Thomas

In this “comedy”, Tom Green cuts open a deer and wears its corpse, licks an open wound, swings a newborn infant by its umbilical cord, accuses his dad of molestation, smacks a paraplegic’s legs with a club for over a minute, and worst of all, sprays water at a restaurant. No really, that’s the only time in the movie where the cops arrest him. Kermit the Frog is right. It’s not easy being Green, and it’s not easy watching him either. Should've won: Freddy Got Fingered

Director: Martin Brest | Stars: Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez, Justin Bartha, Terry Camilleri

Votes: 50,724 | Gross: $6.07M

Affleck and Lopez made their relationship even more of a joke in this dreadful film with a nonsensical plot, offensive portrayals of the mentally disabled and lesbians, and some of the worst dialogue ever put to film (“It’s turkey time. Gobble gobble”). Best part is Al Pacino blowing a guy’s brains out on screen in this “romantic comedy”. Should've won: Gigli or The Room (not nominated)

Bo Derek’s elderly husband kills himself but can still talk to her as a ghost. Unfortunately, they can’t have sex forcing Bo to find a man who's good in bed that her husband can possess. You know a movie’s bad when Donald Trump is the least insufferable part of it. Should've won: Troll 2 (not nominated)

She eventually loses it to some dude from Spain but unfortunately, his dick gets impaled while bullfighting so they can’t have sex. Will Bo be able to motivate him into becoming well endowed again, and will the audience stick around long enough to see it happen? At least one of those answers is no. Should've won: Bolero

Votes: 112,337 | Gross: $8.83M

Incredibly unfunny comedy wastes tons of talent. Nearly every skit in the movie is gross, offensive, and sickening to watch. Some examples include a guy with testicles on his neck, a mom forcing her son to make out with her, a man “preparing” to poop on his wife, a gay cat trying to murder his owner’s wife, and so on. Should've won: Movie 43

Votes: 16,763 | Gross: $2.78M

Kirk Cameron christian movie is preachy, poorly acted, and lacking in actual content. Half the movie is a random dance scene. A better title for this film would have been Snowing Pains. Should've won: Saving Christmas

45. Dirty Love (2005)

R | 91 min | Comedy, Romance

9 Metascore

A jilted photographer goes on a mission to get back at her philandering model boyfriend and along the way discovers that not all love is created equal.

Director: John Asher | Stars: Jenny McCarthy-Wahlberg, Eddie Kaye Thomas, Carmen Electra, Victor Webster

Votes: 7,429 | Gross: $0.06M

Awful romantic comedy has zero laughs and some of the worst acting ever put on screen. The opening scene is literally Jenny McCarthy shouting “oh my god” for a full minute. It also has racist stereotypes, and a bizarre magician character named J. Houdinis. McCarthy was married to the film’s director John Asher and they divorced a few weeks after the film’s release. I wonder why? Should've won: Alone in the Dark (not nominated) or Dirty Love

46. Leonard Part 6 (1987)

PG | 85 min | Action, Comedy, Sci-Fi

Secret Agent Leonard Parker (Bill Cosby) is called out of retirement to save the world from evil genius Medusa Johnson (Gloria Foster).

Director: Paul Weiland | Stars: Bill Cosby, Tom Courtenay, Joe Don Baker, Moses Gunn

Votes: 8,664 | Gross: $4.92M

Really bad spy movie parody with Bill Cosby makes no sense and is not even close to funny. The plot involves Cosby defeating evil vegetarians using the magical powers of meat. Bill Cosby sounds depressed throughout the entire film. Even he knew the film was a waste of time. Maybe that’s why he became a [censored by IMDB]. Should've won: The Garbage Pail Kids Movie (not nominated) or Leonard Part 6

47. Hudson Hawk (1991)

R | 100 min | Action, Adventure, Comedy

17 Metascore

A cat burglar is forced to steal Da Vinci works of art for a world domination plot.

Director: Michael Lehmann | Stars: Bruce Willis, Danny Aiello, Andie MacDowell, James Coburn

Votes: 60,345 | Gross: $17.22M

Terrible action movie with Bruce Willis is full of unfunny dialogue, campy acting, and lazy writing. Bruce Willis and Danny Aiello sing “Swinging on a Star” during a heist scene and I wouldn’t be surprised if they inspired Simon Cowell to make a living ripping on bad singers a decade later. In one of the final scenes, Bruce Willis asks his love interest “will you play Nintendo with me?” as a romantic line. I have a better question: “will you remove this movie from existence?” Should've won: Hudson Hawk
