Becca and I have taken it upon ourselves to sit through as many of the worst movies of 2008 as we could, and boy-o are there a lot. Let's see!
Jumper: Starring that expressionless kid who made us hate Darth Vader all over again, this film knows no bounds in boredom.
Cloverfield: Did we really waste half the movie following identical A&F models at some dull party just to set us up for that?
Hancock: Passable for the first half, and then it spirals out of control as you witness the attempts of the producers to rewrite the ending of the novel it was based on.
Pineapple Express: You like yourself a little bit less after finding yourself laughing at it.
Sweeney Todd: As soon as the film opened, I knew I had made a huge mistake. The tagline should have been "The film that will make you think less of Tim Burton".
Teeth: It's sort of impressive that given the concept, they chose to take it down a serious path. Impressive in a bewildering way.
Fool's Gold: You know those people who recommend the Olive Garden? They also recommend Fool's Gold.
The Hottie and the Nottie: I can't believe we managed to sit through this. Considering however much money they put into it, it's amazing there isn't a single redeeming thing about it. Perhaps some sort of conspiracy.
Charlie Bartlett: This was insulting to my sensibilities and overly confusing in its earnest attempts to be good and failing so badly.
Shutter: Some movies make you feel smart for guessing what happens next at every step, and some make you feel stupid for wasting your time with a predictable and poorly acted film written by seven year olds.
The House Bunny: Say what you will about how insulting to the intelligence this film is to anyone who has graduated kindergarten, but Anna Faris's Yoda voice is hilarious. They could make an entire film about her going around talking like that in everyday situations. And it would be better than The House Bunny.
