The 40 Worst Movies of the Last 40 Years

Designing cannons is a fascinating topic. Important considerations include the barrel’s size, the type of muzzle, and the size of the cascabel. These are all crucial questions to answer.

Here at ScreenCrush, we’re more interested in popular movies than technical details, so let’s talk about building a ‘canon’ – but instead of the greatest films of all time, we’re focusing on the *worst*. We’re about to dive into the 40 biggest cinematic disasters of the last four decades.

No one intentionally tries to make a terrible movie, which means there’s no foolproof method for creating a complete disaster. Some bad films were ruined by editing after the director finished, becoming confusing and disjointed. Others stayed true to the director’s original idea – the problem was, those ideas were just really bad to begin with.

I’ve seen a lot of movies, and honestly, these 40 are pretty rough. It’s a real mixed bag – some comedies just don’t land, and the thrillers aren’t very thrilling. There’s everything from cartoons and superhero flicks to movies based on old books, and even a couple of real oddballs thrown in. You just never know if a movie will work until it’s done and people actually see it. I’ve unfortunately watched them all, and believe me, they’re not good. Oh, and if you’re really into the technical side of things and want to learn about how stories are built, don’t worry too much about it – you can actually find a lot of useful info just by reading the Wikipedia page on narrative structure!

The 40 Worst Movies of the Last 40 Years (1985-2024)

40. Wild Wild West (1999)

To understand the problems with Hollywood over the last three decades, look no further than *Wild Wild West*. The movie took a largely forgotten story and transformed it into an overblown blockbuster packed with excessive special effects. It was such a failure that even the lead actor, Will Smith, admits he despises it, often calling it the worst film of his career and a constant source of regret.

39. North (1994)

The 1994 film *North* is widely considered one of the worst movies ever made, famously earning a scathing review from critic Roger Ebert. He famously wrote that he ‘hated’ the film repeatedly and found every moment insulting. The movie truly lives up to that criticism, particularly with bizarre scenes like Dan Aykroyd and Reba McEntire appearing as exaggerated Texas characters to sing a song about their deceased son, followed by jokes about a child’s rear end. Adding to the oddity, Kathy Bates plays an Inuit woman who sends her father (Abe Vigoda!) to his death on an ice floe. Ebert’s strong reaction was clearly justified.

38. Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li (2009)

Fifteen years after the original *Street Fighter* movie starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, a new attempt was made. Despite being called *Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li*, the film doesn’t feature many legends or much street fighting. What it *does* have is a memorably bad performance from Chris Klein, who plays Charlie Nash. He completely deviates from the video game character, constantly showing off and posing for the camera-it’s a truly remarkable, though not in a good way, performance.

37. Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday (1993)

Let’s be honest, the *Friday the 13th* movies weren’t known for making a lot of sense, but *Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday* really took things to a new level. Forget the Jason Voorhees we knew – this time, he’s a parasitic creature that takes over people, turning them into killers. The film added a lot of complicated backstory, including magical daggers and previously unknown family members, to explain why Jason was so hard to kill. (It seems the writers just needed to invent a mystical weapon!) And honestly, a movie called *Jason Goes to Hell* should probably show Jason… actually going to hell. Instead, he mostly hangs out in a house, a diner, a jail, and a morgue. The title really only works as a short, four-word review of the movie itself.

36. Ringmaster (1998)

When *The Jerry Springer Show* was incredibly popular, Jerry Springer starred in a movie called *Ringmaster*. He played a confused host of a low-class talk show, also named Jerry, mirroring his TV persona. While Springer always appeared comfortable with the unusual people on his show, he seemed genuinely uncomfortable with *Ringmaster*’s fictionalized take on it, acting alongside professional actors. Though some of the supporting cast did a good job with the scandalous material, the movie ultimately feels like it’s about a man who’d rather not be involved.

35. The Happytime Murders (2018)

Brian Henson’s comedy, *The Happytime Murders*, relies heavily on crude and immature humor. It feels like the filmmakers simply thought it would be funny to put puppets in a raunchy, sexually-charged situation without much deeper purpose. It’s a movie defined by shock value – in fact, it’s famous for scenes like Melissa McCarthy biting a puppet’s penis and a parody of the *Basic Instinct* interrogation scene. Honestly, the only bright spot is Maya Rudolph, who manages to land a genuinely funny joke about rice pilaf. She’s the real star here.

34. Steel (1997)

Looking for a truly bad 90s movie? You’ll likely find one starring Shaquille O’Neal. In *Steel*, he plays an armored superhero based on a DC Comics character who briefly took over for Superman. (The movie significantly changes Steel’s backstory because Superman is mysteriously absent.) While O’Neal is physically imposing enough for the role and seems to be enjoying himself, the movie is filled with awkward, self-aware jokes-like Shaq missing basketball shots and characters referencing the shape of Steel’s hammer-and the superhero costume is just plain awful. The result feels less like a real movie and more like a painfully unfunny, extended *Saturday Night Live* sketch.

33. Caddyshack II (1988)

Want to know how a classic comedy spawned one of the worst sequels ever? A 2020 article in *Sports Illustrated* details the story of *Caddyshack II*. Warner Bros. needed a summer blockbuster in 1988 and offered a lot of money to bring back Rodney Dangerfield and Chevy Chase. Dangerfield then persuaded *Caddyshack*’s co-writer and director, Harold Ramis, to write the script. However, Ramis wasn’t enthusiastic about the project, and Dangerfield disliked the script Ramis produced. Dangerfield even quit right before filming! Desperate for a hit, Warner Bros. moved forward anyway, casting Jackie Mason to replace Dangerfield as the wealthy, boisterous character who clashes with the snobbish members of the Bushwood Country Club. Unfortunately, Mason couldn’t replicate Dangerfield’s comedic style, resulting in a film filled with predictable jokes and slapstick. (Think laser-emitting golf clubs – seriously!) Still not convinced it’s a disaster? Even the director, Allan Arkush, gave his own film a one-star review, admitting he shouldn’t have made it!

32. The Book of Henry (2017)

Colin Trevorrow’s follow-up to *Jurassic World*, *The Book of Henry*, was a critical and commercial failure – a truly strange film. It mixes fantastical elements with disturbing themes, and surprisingly, attempts to tell a story reminiscent of the life of Christ. The plot centers on a seemingly god-like child who dies, enabling his troubled mother to confront a dangerous man and offer a home to her mistreated stepdaughter. On top of all that, the film presents a serious message about the consequences of indifference, delivered through the unbelievable scenario of a deceased prodigy guiding his mother to become an expert assassin from beyond the grave. It sounds crazy, but all of this actually happens in the movie, I assure you.

31. Space Jam: A New Legacy (2021)

Warner Bros. hilariously skewered itself in *Space Jam: A New Legacy* by portraying its vast library of characters as being coldly managed by a heartless computer program – a truly remarkable act of self-criticism. However, the movie itself was a significant disappointment, making the original *Space Jam* seem like a cinematic masterpiece by comparison. While LeBron James wasn’t a bad actor – his performance was about as good as Michael Jordan’s in the first film – almost everything else about *A New Legacy* was simply embarrassing. The film seemed to miss the point of what makes the Looney Tunes characters so beloved, even turning Bugs Bunny into a complaining and gloomy figure. Instead of watching this movie, I recommend revisiting some classic *Looney Tunes Cartoons* on Max. You’ll find five times more laughs in any random short than in this entire two-hour film, and the animation is far superior.

30. Basic Instinct 2 (2006)

Sharon Stone is incredibly talented – she can make even cheesy lines sound seductive. However, even with her skills, *Basic Instinct 2* is a disappointing film. Stone completely overshadows her co-star, David Morrissey, whose character never feels like a match for hers. It’s never believable why she’d be attracted to him, almost as if she’s toying with an easy target. Stone seems to be enjoying playing a dominant role, but Morrissey’s character is so bland that her manipulation lacks any real suspense. The dynamic is completely uneven – it’s like watching a professional team play against amateurs. The film tries to portray her character as a risk-taker, but there’s no tension or excitement because her opponent is no challenge at all.

29. Dirty Grandpa (2016)

The comedy in *Dirty Grandpa* relies on a simple idea, much like *The Happytime Murders*: taking something typically seen as wholesome – like puppets or grandfathers – and having it say or do something shocking. If you find the thought of Robert De Niro uttering crude words funny, you’ll probably enjoy this movie. But if that doesn’t appeal to you, you’re likely to be disappointed. At least the title is honest!

28. The Scarlet Letter (1995)

The 1995 film *The Scarlet Letter* effectively ended the run of adult-themed erotic thrillers that were popular in the 80s and early 90s. After the success of films like *Fatal Attraction*, Hollywood made a lot of steamy dramas for adults, but as the 90s continued, studios began focusing on family-friendly movies with wider appeal. *The Scarlet Letter* was a major box office failure, earning very little of its $45 million budget, and was critically panned, which ultimately signaled the end of the genre.

Despite being “freely adapted” from Nathaniel Hawthorne’s novel, the film feels more like a teenager’s sensationalized interpretation of the story. The complex themes of guilt and sin present in Hawthorne’s work are largely absent, replaced with explicit scenes and a particularly poor performance by Robert Duvall. The movie feels less like a classic adaptation and more like a steamy, Puritan-era version of *The Red Shoe Diaries* – which perhaps explains the emphasis on red footwear.

27. Marmaduke (2022)

I’ve rarely seen an animated movie as visually unappealing as *Marmaduke*, and I hope I never do. It feels like something made purely to fulfill a contractual obligation or, frankly, to hide money. Despite the awful animation, the movie boasts a surprisingly talented voice cast, including J.K. Simmons, David Koechner, and Pete Davidson. It’s baffling – did none of them see how bad it looked, or read the script? What could have possibly motivated their involvement? *Marmaduke* is simply terrible. I wouldn’t even recommend it to the kids who used to tease me – their songs about me were more imaginative than anything in this film.

26. Madame Web (2024)

“Madame Web” feels like an older, less polished Marvel movie, reminiscent of the days before the Marvel Cinematic Universe became dominant. It’s as if everyone involved was a little hesitant about making a superhero film. Even Dakota Johnson, who plays the lead, isn’t actually called “Madame Web” throughout the movie – she’s Cassie Webb. And she rarely wears a traditional superhero costume. It all feels a bit awkward, which, considering the film, isn’t surprising. The movie is goofy, strange, and sometimes hard to follow, making the previous “Amazing Spider-Man” films seem like masterpieces by comparison. It makes you wonder what someone like Kevin Feige, the head of Marvel Studios, would think while watching it – that would be entertaining.

25. Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie (1997)

Even though the *Mighty Morphin Power Rangers* movie wasn’t great, it at least had a bigger budget than a typical *Power Rangers* episode. *Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie*, however, looks just as cheap as the TV show-or even cheaper. It’s almost as if every line of dialogue was re-recorded after filming, maybe because it was originally recorded in another language, or the sound wasn’t captured properly. The action scenes are even worse than what you’d see on the show. It’s surprising a movie made so poorly was actually released in theaters. Perhaps the title refers to how quickly it was made to capitalize on the *Power Rangers* popularity before it disappeared?

24. Meet the Spartans (2008)

For a long stretch of the last three decades, a wave of poorly made parody movies flooded cinemas, largely thanks to the financial success of the *Scary Movie* series. Many of these films were created by *Scary Movie* writers and directors Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, and their humor relied on a simple, repetitive formula: recreate scenes from popular movies – *300* was a frequent target for *Meet the Spartans*, though they also threw in random gags from films like *Shrek, Spider-Man 3,* and *Happy Feet* – and add slapstick, often involving characters getting hit in the groin. Even when these movies managed a laugh, the jokes were usually tied to early 2000s celebrity gossip – think Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton – making them feel incredibly dated today. Trust me, you’re better off avoiding *Meet the Spartans*.

23. The Jerky Boys: The Movie (1995)

I grew up listening to The Jerky Boys tapes, and I definitely found them funny – I was 13, after all! But even as a fan, I really disliked *The Jerky Boys: The Movie*. It featured Johnny Brennan and Kamal Ahmed playing themselves and getting involved in a crime after prank calling a mobster. The movie just didn’t work because the charm of The Jerky Boys was always the spontaneous, unscripted nature of their calls. Seeing them interact with fictional characters and predictable responses felt completely wrong – it was like trying to turn *Whose Line Is It Anyway?* into a full-length movie.

22. X-Men Origins: Wolverine (2009)

The title itself hints at the film’s biggest problem: it tries to do too much. Is it an X-Men movie, a Wolverine story, or an origin tale? It attempts to be all three, and ultimately fails. Director Gavin Hood would have been better off focusing on a single element, but the film was burdened from the start by trying to cram in pieces of multiple X-Men and Wolverine storylines. Hugh Jackman’s character, Logan, even says, “We didn’t sign up for this,” which perfectly sums up how many viewers likely felt about the movie. Other lines, like “We’ve done enough!” and “Wake me when it’s over,” seem to acknowledge just how flawed *X-Men Origins* is.

21. Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot (1992)

Sylvester Stallone starred in quite a few terrible movies during the 1990s – films like *Daylight*, *Judge Dredd*, and *The Specialist* immediately come to mind. But even among those, *Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot* stands out as possibly his worst, even worse than the adult film he made before *Rocky* launched his career. The movie just isn’t funny in any way, not even as a guilty pleasure. The idea of an overbearing mother could actually be funny, and a good movie could definitely be made from that concept. Unfortunately, this isn’t it. Estelle Getty’s character is particularly jarring – she swings wildly between being completely clueless and surprisingly competent, like knowing how to escape handcuffs but not realizing buying a machine gun is illegal. It’s just bizarre.

20. Shanghai Surprise (1986)

Some famously bad movies get a bad rap, but aren’t actually as terrible as people say. *John Carter* is a good example – it’s much more engaging than its box-office failure and negative reviews suggest. However, *Shanghai Surprise* truly deserves its reputation as a terrible film. Starring Sean Penn and Madonna – during their marriage – it’s a bizarre story about a glow-in-the-dark tie salesman and a missionary who attempt an opium heist. The movie itself is completely forgettable, though it does offer a curious look at Penn and Madonna’s relationship. While their marriage lasted longer than the film’s run, *Shanghai Surprise* remains a particularly dull and tedious production from the 1980s.

19. Inspector Gadget (1999)

The popular 1980s cartoon *Inspector Gadget* didn’t translate well to the big screen in the 1990s. A major issue is the casting: Matthew Broderick, while generally likable, doesn’t have the energetic, clumsy personality needed for Inspector Gadget. Rupert Everett feels equally miscast as Dr. Claw. The movie’s special effects feel more like a cartoon than the original, and the final version-clearly heavily edited-barely reaches 70 minutes. Yet, it still feels surprisingly long.

18. Daddy Day Camp (2007)

It appeared no one from the original *Daddy Day Care* wanted to return for the sequel. The cast was completely revamped, with Cuba Gooding Jr., Paul Rae, Josh McLerran, and Tamala Jones replacing Eddie Murphy, Jeff Garlin, Steve Zahn, and Regina King. (The director of the first film, Steve Carr, was also absent.) The original movie focused on Murphy and Garlin learning the ropes of running a daycare. This sequel sees them taking on a summer camp, which, considering their experience, should have been easy. However, like the plot of the movie, things quickly go wrong.

17. Elektra (2005)

Before the Marvel Cinematic Universe took off, things were tough for Marvel fans. After the initial success of movies like *X-Men* and *Spider-Man*, studios rushed to make more Marvel adaptations, but they often lacked the quality and care of those earlier films. One of the worst examples was *Elektra*, starring Jennifer Garner. The movie portrayed Elektra as an incredibly meticulous assassin who obsessively cleaned up after herself to avoid leaving any trace, yet somehow managed to be shockingly careless during assignments, even befriending her neighbors while on the job – neighbors who turned out to be her targets. To make things even stranger, after dying in *Daredevil*, Elektra gained the power to see the future and even rewind time, essentially becoming immortal. But instead of using these god-like abilities for something meaningful, she just went around stabbing ninjas. Honestly, who wouldn’t?

16. Norbit (2007)

Eddie Murphy is known for entertaining audiences by playing several characters in one movie, often with the help of impressive makeup. While the 2007 film *Norbit* received negative reviews, it still made nearly $160 million worldwide on a $60 million budget – though that doesn’t make it a good movie. In *Norbit*, Murphy’s ability to transform himself (along with Rick Baker’s fantastic makeup) is used for a frustrating story about a timid man who marries a controlling and abusive woman – both roles played by Murphy. His portrayal of the angry Rasputia is technically skilled, but relies on cruel stereotypes and endless jokes about her weight. He also plays Mr. Wong, a harsh Chinese man who runs an orphanage and speaks with a heavy, stereotypical accent. Overall, the film is simply disheartening.

15. The Emoji Movie (2017)

A good movie about smartphones and emojis could definitely be made, but it would need a much sharper and funnier script than *The Emoji Movie* offers. Beyond a simple message of accepting others, the film feels exactly like what you’d expect from a tech company that relies on selling phones – essentially a long advertisement suggesting that using a cell phone will make you more popular and appealing. It’s just not very good.

14. Chairman of the Board (1997)

Going into *Chairman of the Board*, a movie starring prop comedian Carrot Top, expectations weren’t high-and the film doesn’t even meet those low expectations. The movie centers around a clumsy inventor who unexpectedly inherits a company from a rich friend (Jack Warden). The premise suggests a comedy, but unfortunately, there isn’t much to laugh at. However, the film did give us a memorable late-night TV moment: Norm Macdonald hilariously kept interrupting an interview with co-star Courtney Thorne-Smith on Conan O’Brien’s show, offering his brutally honest opinion about a potential Carrot Top movie. He famously suggested the title *Box Office Poison*.

13. Artemis Fowl (2020)

When the COVID-19 pandemic started, Disney postponed most of its big 2020 movies, but surprisingly released *Artemis Fowl* directly on Disney+. Looking back, that should have been a warning sign. The movie tries to squeeze the plot of ten books into just 90 minutes, making it confusing and difficult to watch. (I still can’t figure out how Josh Gad’s character went from breaking into Artemis Fowl’s house to working *with* him, without saying a single word to each other!) It’s rare for a streaming movie you didn’t even pay extra for to feel like a waste of time, but *Artemis Fowl* managed to do just that.

12. Son of the Mask (2005)

It’s hard to find a more disappointing movie than a sequel to *The Mask* that doesn’t feature Jim Carrey. The original film was so popular because of Carrey’s energetic performance, enabled by the magical mask that let him be completely uninhibited and showcase his talent for impressions. But in *Son of the Mask*, Jamie Kennedy’s character rarely wears the mask – surprisingly, his dog wears it much more often! – and when he does, he’s incredibly awkward. The movie tries to justify this by making his character a cartoonist, hoping he’ll mimic Carrey’s style, but it doesn’t work. They even seem to have dubbed over his voice to make him sound more like Carrey.

The second half of the movie is unbelievably about a dog getting jealous of a new baby and deliberately putting on the mask to try and harm him! A jealous dog plotline! Thankfully, the baby is okay, and is even born with powers connected to the mask. Seriously, nothing could have prepared me for the sight of a horribly CGI-rendered baby messing on Jamie Kennedy. This movie deserved to be thrown away just like the mask at the end of the first film.

11. She’s Out of Control (1989)

This truly awful comedy centers on a father (Tony Danza) who completely loses it when his 15-year-old daughter starts showing an interest in boys. It’s not a dramatic situation – she simply gets contact lenses, a new haircut, and goes on a few dates. The father then seeks help from a therapist (Wallace Shawn!) who bizarrely believes fathers should strictly control their daughters’ sexuality. The movie shockingly supports the father’s extreme reactions, even when the daughter is assaulted by her prom date (Matthew Perry!). This film is harmful and should not be watched by anyone.

10. The Avengers (1998)

Okay, let’s clear something up right away: I’m talking about the 1998 film *The Avengers*, not the Marvel superhero team. This one is based on a vintage British spy show that actually came *before* the comics. And honestly? These ‘Avengers’ don’t do much avenging at all, which feels a little ironic. But then again, very little about this movie *does* make sense. It’s barely 90 minutes long, and it plays like a severely cut version of itself. Scenes just jump from place to place with no explanation – you’ll wonder how Ralph Fiennes and Uma Thurman even *got* to where they are! All the explosions and effects are there, but everything *between* those moments is missing. Forget character development, motivations, or anything resembling genuine emotion. It’s all just visual noise. Honestly, watching this *Avengers* feels like reading the CliffsNotes version of a movie – you get the bare bones, but lose everything that makes it worthwhile.

9. Mac and Me (1988)

After the huge success of *E.T.*, everyone wanted to capitalize on the popularity of friendly alien stories. This included McDonald’s, which partnered on a low-budget film clearly inspired by *E.T.*, featuring another adorable creature and its human companion. (The title itself is a playful nod to the McDonald’s logo.) The movie famously grinds to a halt for an extended dance sequence inside a McDonald’s restaurant. While that scene is widely considered terrible, the film did give Paul Rudd a story he’s been able to use to playfully tease Conan O’Brien for years.

8. Alone in the Dark (2005)

Uwe Boll gained notoriety in the 2000s for consistently releasing poorly received video game adaptations. He was able to fund these films through a German tax benefit that ensured they’d make money, a situation somewhat similar to the premise of the movie *The Producers*, but with video games. One particularly bad example, *Alone in the Dark*, stars Tara Reid as an archaeologist and Christian Slater as a detective investigating paranormal events. However, the plot is so confusing that it’s hard to explain, and the lengthy, 90-second opening title sequence actually *adds* to the confusion. Considering *Alone in the Dark* already ranks as the worst video game movie ever made, its position on this list-not at the very bottom-is truly remarkable.

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

This low-budget horror film is a loose and rather unfortunate adaptation of the classic Winnie-the-Pooh stories, which are now in the public domain. It fails as both a slasher movie and a parody of children’s literature. Ironically, it actually *makes* a strange case *against* the idea of public domain – suggesting that copyright protection might be useful in preventing truly terrible movies like this one from being made. Simply put, *Blood and Honey* is a dreadful film.

6. Dolittle (2020)

Remember the scene in Tim Burton’s *Batman* where the doctor botches Jack Napier’s surgery, leaving him with the Joker’s disfigured face? That’s essentially what *Dolittle* feels like – a chaotic, confusing film that seems cobbled together from unused footage and reshoots. What likely began as a more grounded story devolved into a bizarre mix of crude humor – think poop, farts, and itchy bottoms – alongside talking animals, shaky special effects, and a wildly over-the-top performance from Robert Downey Jr. He’s so flamboyant, he makes Johnny Depp’s Captain Jack Sparrow seem reserved.

5. Going Overboard (1989)

Adam Sandler’s early career included a particularly unsuccessful comedy called *Going Overboard*, set on a cruise ship with beauty pageant contestants. The movie was famously rushed into production – according to IMDb, the script was written in just three days, the cast assembled in one, and filming completed in only six. And the result? It’s even worse than you’d expect from a movie made that quickly.

4. Mad Dog Time (1996)

While there are definitely bad movies out there, *Mad Dog Time* is uniquely strange. Despite boasting an incredible cast – including Jeff Goldblum, Gabriel Byrne, Ellen Barkin, and many more – the film is a bizarre gangster story set, unbelievably, in a parallel universe in deep space. This universe, called “Vic’s World,” is filled with nothing but gangster movie clichés, and the characters spend their time having pistol duels behind old desks in dimly lit basements. Honestly, the plot doesn’t make any more sense when you’re watching it. It’s so odd, it almost feels like it *was* made in another universe, where people enjoy truly terrible films.

3. Leonard Part 6 (1987)

When Bill Cosby was at the peak of his career, he starred in *Leonard Part 6*, a truly terrible spy comedy. The film centers on a retired CIA agent who’s brought back to stop a villain who uses brainwashed animals to commit murders. The title is a failed attempt at a running gag, suggesting it’s the sixth film in a series. Cosby himself disliked the movie even before it came out, and for good reason. It doesn’t know if it wants to be a James Bond parody or a silly kids’ movie, and it’s filled with unbelievably obvious product placement. Calling it one of the worst movies of the 80s is actually being generous.

2. Frozen Assets (1992)

Even the worst comedies are better than *Frozen Assets*, which feels like a deliberate attempt to make the least funny movie ever. Corbin Bernsen plays a bank executive sent to fix a failing branch in Oregon, but this isn’t a regular bank – it’s a sperm bank! (And that’s pretty much the only joke.) Bernsen is focused solely on profits, which clashes with the head scientist, Shelley Long, and he treats her terribly – naturally, she falls for him. Larry Miller shows up as an escaped mental patient who becomes an employee. Honestly, it’s even worse than it sounds. Do yourself a favor and avoid *Frozen Assets* completely. I’d actually pay money *not* to watch it again.

1. Disaster Movie (2008)

The title *Disaster Movie* is misleading on both counts. While the film pokes fun at disaster movies like *10,000 B.C.*, *Hancock*, *Jumper*, *Enchanted*, *Alvin and the Chipmunks*, *Beowulf*, and *The Love Guru*, it barely qualifies as a movie itself. It features very few developed characters and a weak plot, held together by a never-ending stream of awful celebrity impersonations that are so bad, the characters in the movie even point them out. Honestly, it’s one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen. By the time a man was fighting someone dressed in a poorly made *Kung Fu Panda* costume, I felt sorry for the actors and, even more, for anyone who actually paid to watch it.
