spend a family bonding session watching
one of these flicks welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top 10 worst
family movies we must lose hope no
matter how cold and lonely it gets
Gordie will find us for this list we’re
looking at movies that attempted to
appeal to both adults and children but
ended up bombing at the box office
receiving bad reviews or both we put a
few toaster waffles aside for winter and
magnets channel number 10
Kazaam who can’t change it I am Kazaam
right as he was starting his eight-year
stint as the legendary Center for the
Los Angeles Lakers Shaquille O’Neal
decided to take his career in a
different direction with some acting
roles he chose to star as a 5000 year
old genie in this family comedy which
became one of the most ridiculed films
of the 90s you realize Who I am I’m your
genie the premise which seized Shaq’s
titular Genie emerged from a boom box
after being found by a young boy is
absurd enough but the film’s detractors
said it was made worse by a mediocre
script and chasms constantly creepy
actions and you’re a friend of Max’s how
sweet of you to call me a friend but the
school district more commonly refers to
me as a tutor a tutor well the school
got you a tutor if that’s not enough
Shaq also raps
repeatedly watch it boy you don’t want
to diss me or I’ll dish out my misery
to be that the syrup on seat number nine
g-force I’m pretty sure this is animal
cruelty but I love it
despite a surprisingly capable cast that
includes Zach Galifianakis and Will
Arnett as well as the voices of Sam
Rockwell and Penelope Cruz this guinea
pig filled spy film no joke lacks any of
the power its title may suggest what
some of this you over broke it over
while its action scenes may be
relatively entertaining critics say it
offers little of substance to its target
audience
due to its contrived action movie plot
and cliche written script Pearlie how
would you butt out of my face
Thank You face oh my boy g-force was
actually a box-office hit earning almost
300 million dollars worldwide but that’s
probably only because it starred rodents
with tiny guns and goggles going survive
row number 8 ghost dad aren’t you tired
uh I don’t think ghosts get tired even
before his highly publicized fall from
grace this movie was considered a blot
on the then distinguished resume of Bill
Cosby you wallet directed by legendary
actors Sidney Poitier of all people this
story follows a father who dies and
comes back to life as a spirit a concept
some labelled ill-conceived and kind of
unfunny can you move your lips to
something dad this is really weird it
constantly winds up on critics lists of
the worst films of the 90s and has even
found its way onto several worst of all
time lists among its other flaws haters
say the fantasy comedies internal logic
makes no sense the movie features
Satanists and the plot becomes really
disturbing in hindsight
rude is that way after all the last
thing anyone would want to give Bill
Cosby is the ability to walk through
walls I am a ghost I’m no longer living
this is a joke right
number seven mr. Magoo the eggplant pop
you what watch your head
it truly pains us to watch the legendary
comedic talent of Leslie Nielsen being
put to use in a movie this disappointing
in this adaptation of the classic
cartoon Nielsen plays the titular blind
character whose only purpose in life is
to get into dangerous contrived
situations because of his blindness only
to then get out of said situations
because of his blindness iq package the
film received such a negative reaction
from blind and nearsighted groups that
Disney pulled it from theaters after
only two weeks some say the only funny
thing about this movie is the disclaimer
at the end saying that it was not meant
to be an accurate portrayal of
nearsighted or blind people thanks for
clearing that up
Oh Stacy aren’t you a sight for sore
eyes
number six daddy day camp oh who wants
chocolate while 2003’s daddy daycare
definitely wasn’t high art it did have
the always welcome presence of Eddie
Murphy about game today already needs
obstructions and playing activities
no we need ritalin and leashes that’s
what we need but in this maligned sequel
Murphy was replaced by Cuba Gooding jr.
a man who some have said was suffering
through the dreaded Oscar curse
the result is basically 90 minutes spent
watching an Academy Award winner become
the victim of unfortunate physical gags
interspersed with poop and vomit jokes
thrown in for good measure amazingly
enough this film was directed by Fred
Savage of The Wonder Years Fame who
really should know more about making
decent family entertainment hi eight
kids number five
mr. nanny it’s probably weird to see
wrestling legend Hulk Hogan and movies
meant for all ages but he made a lot of
those flicks in the 90s to mixed results
from now on you’re gonna ask right cuz I
ain’t leavin consider the worst of these
vehicles was this poor excuse for a
comedy where Hogan plays an ex wrestler
what a stretch who’s assigned to look
over the young kids of a tech mogul I
can show you few things about defending
yourself can’t mr. babysitter I don’t
want your stupid help it plays out as
you’d expect with the kids initially
pulling a variety of pranks on the
monstrously sized Hogan and then having
him warm up to them after saving them
from a threat I love you guys I love you
too
unfortunately critics pointed out a few
problems with this one
namely one Hogan can’t act – the movie
isn’t as funny as it wants to be and
three it’s not even that heartwarming we
have come to play with the children my
dead body
number four son of the mask go on Albie
do it do it
take that while the original mask wasn’t
exactly aimed at adults its humour and
content weren’t necessarily
family-friendly either so when they
decided to make a sequel 11 years later
the creators decided to gear it towards
a younger audience more so they say I am
Loki god of mischief
yeah and I’m Tim got a crazy baby lamb
you get all the babies why do we say
that because this film in which raunchy
stand-up comedian Jamie Kennedy fights
Alan Cummings Loki for control of the
mask contains some of the most
unintentionally disturbing imagery and
questionable excuses for quality we’ve
ever seen just give me the mask I don’t
have it I think my doggy the worst of it
comes from Kennedy’s dog Otis and his
son Albie who both possess the powers of
the mask and try to compete for
Kennedy’s affections this includes
several instances of the dog trying to
kill the baby you know for families I
was caught out in Vera Singh number
three Mac and me Debbie what’s going on
here’s a losing formula ripoff one of
the best family films of all time while
amplifying the part no one asked for the
product placement we think even
advertising execs can agree that Mac and
me is shameless in every way
particularly in the way it replicates
everything from Steven Spielberg’s et
from its friendship between a young boy
and an alien to adapting its working
title
ET and me things ruined it’s totally
ruined it wasn’t me ma missed a little
treat your side but Mac and me is most
infamous for its barely veiled product
placement which prominently includes
coca-cola skittles and of course
McDonald’s what’s next a Ronald McDonald
cameo oh come on
it’s
forcing your kids to watch an actual
commercial only instead of 30 seconds it
lasts 99 minutes you know what I feel
like a Big Mac man is a genius
I’m sorry key number two super babies
baby geniuses to Allman’s world will be
the McDonald’s of daycare great will be
known as McBay be maybe the reason the
sequel was made is because it’s 1999
predecessor was marginally successful
and its director Bob Clark and directed
one of the greatest family films of all
time a Christmas story how do you be
careful out there don’t shoot your eye
out unfortunately any family who pops
this one in looking to find an hour and
a half of cute kids saying badly lip
synced dialogue will find just that well
is your well now Archie you know what
I’m just a baby complementing that is a
story about mind control via television
a group of CGI toddlers with superpowers
jumping around and legendary actor Jon
Voight putting on a faux European accent
that makes Borat sound authentic
I should have staying young forever you
took all that from me don’t be fooled by
the adorable faces this one can be
skipped
IBP scanning if you touch my tie
pacifier before we unveil our number one
pick here are some honorable or in this
case dishonorable mentions who is this
ah that’s my mom
awkward when you get me across a smurf
with a cow
blue cheese number one the Garbage Pail
Kids movie more than anything families
deserve really good movies families
don’t deserve movies that pander to
their target audience or teach
questionable morals or are shockingly
unpleasant to sit through my gum here
what did you eat everything
that’ll do it alright all of these
pieces of criticism have been levied at
this film adaptation of the popular
trading card series le you ate my burger
as he is yeah oh yeah
prove it I can’t ape evidence labeled by
some is a gross unfunny and poorly made
film in the guise of family
entertainment the Garbage Pail Kids
movie was criticized for its repugnant
and annoying title characters dark
environments and baffling excuse for a
moral center based around what true
ugliness really needs ugliness is not in
a mirror ugliness is cruelty meanness of
spirit gree spoiler it makes no sense
some say this movie belongs in a garbage
pail but even that may be too good a
fate for it well perhaps it would have
been safer to lock them away from the
world do you agree with our list what
movies would you hate to watch with your
family they’ll go get the first aid kit
