ring the bell to get notified about our
latest videos for this list we’re taking
a look at flicks that face an uphill
battle from the get-go either due to the
premise talent involved or early
backlash and ultimately fail to deliver
romantic comedy deprived of any real
romance or comedy this box-office dead
wasn’t so much a star vehicle for Hilton
as it was a massive ego trip the whole
film revolves around one joke
Hilton’s Christabel is basically the
most desirable woman on the planet and
her best friend June is cartoonishly
unattractive the movie isn’t just
superficial but also highly hypocritical
forcing it a message about inner beauty
that’s completely misguided you can’t
always judge a book by it’s cover but in
the case of the hottie and the Nottie
the title tells us everything we need to
know well when you really care about
someone you’re willing to overlook their
flaws number 9 battleship
this Titanic shipwreck is based on a
board game with no established story
characters or lore but that’s not what
doomed the project casting pop star
Rihanna as a naval officer didn’t doom
the film either although that didn’t
exactly help rather this ship went down
because it had no idea what it wants to
be the film starts off like a romantic
comedy about a guy a girl and a chicken
burrito then all of a sudden it becomes
a sci-fi action flick about an alien
invasion
what do a lien x’ and chicken burritos
have to do with the original game by
failing to capture the spirit of its
source material the filmmakers
essentially sunk their own ship
battleships are great ships but they
were kind of like dinosaurs they’re
designed to take it’s kind of like a
floating punching bag number eight from
Justin to Kelly
remember when American Idol was the
most-watched show on television this
singing competition series exploded into
a cultural phenomenon and at the height
of its popularity inspired a feature
film starring season 1 winner Kelly
Clarkson and runner-up Justin Guarini
even with an insanely popular series as
its launch pad from Justin to Kelly
failed to attract even the most die-hard
viewers grossing less than 5 million
dollars on a 12 million dollar budget
Wow smooth this musical romance was such
a corny dated and obvious cash grab that
it made the worst American Idol
auditions look operatic by comparison
Clarkson actually begged to be released
from the project before it started
shooting it’s never a good sign when the
star senses a train wreck from a mile
away
you know goodbye number 7 speed to
cruise control a fan of ship for this
the original speed revolved around a bus
that couldn’t drop under 50 miles per
hour or else it would explode the sequel
basically contradicts everything its
predecessor stood for with its title
alone rather than kicking things up a
notch cruise control restricts itself to
a set speed placing the characters on
the slow-moving boat in the middle of an
ocean rather than a runaway bus on the
busy streets of LA so who’s ready to
party on the big poop sets me if you
were counting on the great chemistry
between Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock
to salvage the lackluster set up you’re
in for even more disappointment
although Bullock is back Reeves is
jacked Ravan is nowhere to be found and
Jason Patric is far from an ideal

mask just give me the mask I’ll have it
Nathan Ryan drunk won a Nintendo Power
contest to appear in the mask to when I
was initially announced in the 90s
nathan is lucky that it never ended up
in this abysmal sequel instead receiving
$5,000 and some SNES games son of the
mask should have remained shelved after
Jim Carrey turned it down instead the
studio decided to push forward nearly a
decade after the fact relying on Jamie
Kennedy to fill Carrie shoots what am I
thinking but really deprived this sequel
of any hope however was the decision to
center the plot around a nightmare
inducing CGI baby seriously son of the
mask could have been a horror picture
had they substituted the cartoony music
with the Rosemary’s Baby soundtrack okay
I’m just gonna say it
I was flat-out embarrassing number five
Jack and Jill hold the thought I have I
have to go Adam Sandler movies don’t
exactly have your reputation for being
critically acclaimed but to call this
2011 comedy lowbrow would be an
understatement the plot is so lazy that
it’s hard to believe any studio even
Happy Madison productions would
greenlight it
Sandler plays Jack an advertising
executive Sandler also stars as Jill his
identical twin sister with a voice so
obnoxious that you’ll pray for little
Nicky’s second coming oh please tell me
you don’t be a bit I didn’t feel it
maybe if you did it harder as if the
premise alone wasn’t enough to guarantee
a dumpster fire the film also has Oscar
winner Al Pacino wrapping in a
commercial for Dunkin Donuts which oddly
enough is probably the comedic highlight
sweeping the Razzies in every category
Jack and Jill forever lowered the bar

making a movie about two Italian
brothers who rescue a princess from a
