One I do remember was Bend it like Beckham. I don't remember much about it other than it wouldn't end. Ever. And I was fully willing to chew through my arm to get away.
I remember being forced to sit through Steel Magnolias. Not even Dolly Parton's rack could save that one.
There are tons of movies I haven't enjoyed, even loathe, but I can recognize that my personal enjoyment is not actually a rating category in the Worst movie of all time pageant. I can also ignore shitty movies that were produced as B or tv/straight to video because there were no expectations of quality in the making.
If I remove my own subjective preferences and look just at the expectations of quality versus the actual quality of the result, then there is no question, the largest gap belongs to Dick Tracy. [Reply]

I love critically acclaimed movies that are utter dogshit. This turd and The Thin Red Line immediately come to mind. And I had to pretty much be physically restrained from leaving the theater during Moonstruck.
This reminds of another terrible movie that was critically acclaimed. Birdman. [Reply]

Heh. It's a fun guilty pleasure movie. It was on a couple of months ago and I watched it. Hadn't seen it in years.
The idea that there's some great national brotherhood of bouncers so entrenched that even hicks at a podunk Missouri bar would know of their superstars is even less likely than the assassins' neutral ground hotel in John Wick.
Still, it's fun. I can't imagine it would have worked with anybody other than Swayze and Elliot in the leads, though. [Reply]
