Rotten Tomatoes Just Go With It
Plenty of bad movies get rated on Rotten Tomatoes, but it's rare to run across a movie score a apartment 0% without a unmarried critic to defend something near the motion-picture show. If you lot didn't think it was possible, take a walk down the cinematic hall of shame and feast your eyes on some of the worst movies (according to Rotten Tomatoes) to engagement.
Each pic on this list has managed to achieve a flat 0% rating, implying a time suck of epic proportions should you choose to scout them. Obviously, these movies should simply exist viewed at your ain risk. Consider yourself warned!
Look Who'due south Talking Now (1993)
Although the original Look Who'southward Talking flick scored a mere 57% amid critics, it was a viewer favorite, which prompted the creators to brand not one, merely two sequels. The first 2 featured John Travolta, Kirstie Aisle and a series of talking babies. Cute, right?
In the third flick, Look Who'south Talking At present, the filmmakers instead swapped the babies out with crude talking dogs who make constant sexual references. Very kid-friendly, right? It'southward impossible to understand how anyone making the film failed to consider this strategy would completely amerce the target audience and critics.
Although Hollywood may occasionally be able to tummy a bad moving-picture show, there's nothing it hates more than a blatant rip-off. Such was the case when MAC and Me was released in 1988. The story features a young, wheelchair-bound male child who meets MAC (Mysterious Alien Creature), an alien who needs assist finding his fashion abode. Sound familiar?
Apparently, the filmmakers thought that putting the poor child in a wheelchair would keep everyone from realizing they had obviously hijacked the plot of E.T. It didn't work — Duh! — and critics weren't shy about letting anybody know what they idea about information technology.
Jaws: The Revenge (1987)
As Steven Spielberg told a film festival audience in 1975, "Making a sequel to anything is but a cheap carny fob." The fact that he understands what so many other filmmakers fail to grasp, however, didn't keep three sequels to his hit movie Jaws from being made by other misguided industry professionals.
The tales of terrified beachgoers but kept coming until finally Jaws: The Revenge, the franchise's fourth movie, finally sank things in one case and for all. The motion-picture show'south nonsensical plot, bad special effects and sloppy execution were more than than critics or moviegoers could handle with a directly face.
Staying Live (1983)
Always noticed that in that location's something about trip the light fantastic toe movies that seems to inspire a million sequels? Before the days of the Pace Upward franchise, Staying Alive led the way toward insipid dance movie franchises of the future. Unfortunately, this questionable sequel to the successful Sabbatum Night Fever came nowhere near the success of its predecessor.
John Travolta returned every bit Tony Manero in a plot ready six years subsequently he won the legendary disco contest in the first picture. The plot generally serves equally a filler for additional dancing that the filmmakers mistakenly counted on to carry the moving-picture show.
Bolero (1984)
Poor Bo Derek. One day, her career was off to a slap-up starting time, and the next, her husband, John Derek, had a not-so-brilliant thought called Bolero. Written and directed by John himself, the film features Bo equally a recently graduated woman in the 1920s who traipses all over the earth in an attempt to lose her virginity.
The whole thing turned out to exist one of those movies that's funny for all the wrong reasons, and information technology was largely considered a huge mess by critics. On the other hand, information technology won six of its 10 Razzie honor nominations. Maybe that counts for something — or non.
Dream a Little Dream (1989)
You know you have failed in a spectacular way when not even teen heartthrob Corey Feldman could salvage your '80s movie. Such was the case with Dream a Little Dream, a baroque story about an elderly couple who undertakes a mystical experiment.
As a result, they end upwardly trapped in the bodies of two teenagers, whose lives don't turn out to exist what they had expected. Non surprisingly, the film itself turned out to be epically breathless. Roger Ebert dubbed information technology "an aggressively unwatchable movie," while other critics questioned whether the writers had any idea what they had created.
Problem Child (1990)
A couple adopts a young male child who turns out to exist an accented nightmare who is determined to brand their lives hell. While this might sound like a solid premise for a horror movie — mayhap it would have worked that way — Problem Child really tried to present itself as a slapstick comedy.
The trouble was that none of the jokes were the least fleck funny, and the plot itself came across as more than mean-spirited than fun. The result was a mess of a movie with a lead character that neither adults nor children could bring themselves to understand, let alone like.
Megaforce (1982)
Megaforce was supposed to chronicle the tale of an aristocracy group of international warriors, but it turned out to be something most critics had to force themselves to watch. As one reviewer put information technology, the flick was "the kind of bad that makes you wish you were somewhere, anywhere else."
The pic barely grossed a quaternary of its $xx million upkeep, little of which appeared to have been used to improve anything about the picture show. With bad dialogue, cheesy special effects and a ridiculous plot, Megaforce ended upwards existence the most unintentionally funny action movie of all time.
Highlander 2: The Quickening (1991)
Few movies brought fans, critics and fifty-fifty its own crew together in mutual disgust quite like Highlander 2. The original Highlander at least achieved a cult following, but the sequel pretty much just borrowed the title and absolutely none of the proficient parts of the storyline.
The filmmakers bizarrely tossed much of the original pic's plotline and twisted the premise to include aliens battling on an environmentally plagued Globe in 2024. Rumor has information technology that even director Russell Mulcahy asked to supplant his name with a fake one but was forbidden by his contract from bailing out.
American Anthem (1986)
If you have never heard of this '80's gymnastics story, then you're not solitary. The story centers around a young male gymnast who works through various problems, meets a girl and trains for the Olympics — you know, the usual athlete coming-of-historic period story. Who better to play him than an actual Olympic gilt medal gymnast, right?
Apparently not. While production didn't accept to worry nearly training Mitch Gaylord to do the gymnastics, they probably should have focused a piffling more on training him to human activity. The sloppy story and overload of cliches came in 2nd but to his less than golden-medal acting operation.
Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol (1987)
You know how fifty-fifty the funniest joke loses all its hilarity if the same person keeps telling it over and over? That'south sort of what happened with the Constabulary Academy franchise. While the original was hilarious, nobody was laughing anymore by the end of the sixth sequel.
Among the most painful of the follow-ups was the fourth installment, in which Commandant Lassard decides to recruit civilians to work alongside the cops. The picture seems less concerned with a plot of any sort and plays out more like a string of gags tied together in the longest YouTube compilation ever.
Deadfall (1993)
Based on the cover alone, Ambush looks like a movie that could attract plenty of unsuspecting viewers. It has Nicolas Cage, James Coburn and even Charlie Sheen amidst its cast, not to mention a Coppola in the manager's chair.
As it turns out, it'due south just a lesson in never judging a book — or a movie — by its cover. The moving picture is basically an attempt at film noir gone terribly incorrect. Although the filmmakers managed to become the await correct, they forgot the part where you really need a strong plot to make the whole matter work.
A Thousand Words (2012)
When your flick is shot four years before anyone dares to actually release it in theaters, you know you lot're in for a rough ride. A Thousand Words made the error of taking the hilarious Eddie Murphy and pretty much forcing him to pull off an hour and a half of recorded silence.
Why? Because if his grapheme spoke too much, he would be doomed to become a magical tree in his lawn. By the time the picture was over, audiences everywhere were more desperate for Murphy to regain his speech than his character was.
Bucky Larson: Born to Exist a Star (2011)
Despite its name, this film ironically did more to tank the career of atomic number 82 actor Nick Swardson than help it. If you didn't see it, fear non. It's pretty much merely ane long joke that keeps struggling to tell itself for the most painful 96 minutes ever.
Y'all get a socially challenged loser kid who moves to L.A. to follow in his porn-star parents' footsteps. Unless the previous sentence made you laugh hysterically, then trust us when we clinch you that you didn't miss annihilation. Seriously, it doesn't go whatever funnier from there.
Gotti (2018)
Although it was released a mere two years ago, Gotti has already gained the pop vote for the worst mob motion-picture show of all time. John Travolta stars as infamous mobster John Gotti in this biopic, which attempts to cram the guy'due south entire life into 105 minutes.
Gotti was many things, and an interesting guy was certainly one of them. Unfortunately, the pic fails to capture this fact and also manages to be ridiculously boring in its attempt to entertain. One critic actually said he would adopt to "wake upwardly next to a severed horse head than ever watch Gotti again." Yikes!
Dark Crimes (2018)
In the '90s, almost of us idea of Jim Carrey every bit the hysterically goofy star of films like Ace Ventura: Pet Detective and Dumb and Dumber. And so, one day, he suddenly stunned the world with his obvious dramatic talent in movies like The Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Heed.
So, when Nighttime Crimes came along, information technology seemed promising. The moving picture bandage Carey as a detective, and he did a pretty skilful job with what he was given. That said, the film was less the thriller it was intended to be and by and large just too disturbing to actually sentinel.
The Ridiculous 6 (2015)
It seems similar we all fell so in love with Adam Sandler during his early career that nosotros but can't bring ourselves to surrender on him. It was probably his early success that made him rich enough to start bankrolling his own movies, and things have been going downhill ever since.
Among the worst of his creations is The Ridiculous vi, a would-exist Western satire that is but painful to lookout. Aside from its lame jokes, the motion-picture show is insanely racist and disrespectful toward Native Americans — to the degree that several Native American actors walked off the fix.
Max Steel (2016)
Not all superhero movies are created equal, as Max Steel will exist the first to grudgingly admit. While many activity films spawn toy lines, this ane did things backwards and attempted to brand a pic out of an old toy from the late '90s.
The motion-picture show tells the story of a boy named Max who meets a metallic alien being that can wrap around him like a knock-off Iron Human suit. The rest of the movie follows adapt with 1 superhero cliche later another, none of which are executed half as well as they are in the films they shamelessly mimic.
Simon Sez (1999)
Remember when Dennis Rodman was notwithstanding effectually? Well, of class, there was someone out there who just had to ride the coattails of his 15 minutes of fame past dropping him into an action picture. Hence, Simon Sez, the sequel to Double Take, was born.
While Rodman at least had Jean-Claude Van Damme to dorsum him up in the get-go film, he has to resort to teaming upwards with a pair of random computer hacking monks in the sequel. Prepare to spend the whole movie wishing he would but give it up and practice a couple of dunks instead.
Render to the Blueish Lagoon (1991)
Although The Blue Lagoon didn't even garner a ten% fresh rating from critics in 1980, that didn't stop someone out in that location from thinking a sequel would still exist a not bad idea. 1991 saw the ill-fated release of Return to the Bluish Lagoon, which fared fifty-fifty worse than the original.
The movie plopped so-teenagers Milla Jovovich and Brian Krause onto a desert island, threw in a lilliputian romance and a lot of flesh, and hoped for the all-time. Unfortunately, the movie tanked and was even deemed by i critic to be "for pervs and frustrated holidaymakers only." Ouch.
The Garbage Pail Kids Movie (1987)
Dorsum in the '80s, in that location was a card collecting trend featuring the Garbage Pail Kids. With characters meant to be knock-offs of Cabbage Patch Kids, the cards featured kids that were super gross in ways that merely immature boys find fascinating.
To the horror of parents everywhere, someone decided to plough the trend into a truly terrifying live-action film. While the cartoonish creatures may take looked harmless enough on the cards, their boob counterparts were the stuff that nightmares — and years of intense therapy — were made of.
Elevation Dog (1994)
While Chuck Norris may have spawned a series of hysterical memos detailing his epic levels of greatness, Top Canis familiaris is his Achilles Heel that refuses to die. How could an action-comedy starring non merely Norris only also an adorable dog maybe get wrong?
Well, the first mistake was inserting our heroes into a "family-friendly" moving-picture show laden with Neo-Nazis terrorists and White Supremacists. (What?) The second was having the poor gustation to release information technology ii weeks after the Oklahoma Metropolis bombings. All this added up to an epic fail that was most booed out of the box office.
Jury Duty (1995)
This Pauly Shore flop was enough to leave most film fans preferring actual jury duty to sticking around until the concluding credits rolled on this movie. The tale revolves around an bromidic slacker who gets the vivid idea to sign up for jury duty and then he can have advantage of the free room and lath. (Exactly where is this jury duty?)
The rest of the moving picture mostly focuses on him coming up with the most annoying ways possible to keep the case going, simply so he doesn't lose his temporary digs. By the end, y'all're sure to be just equally frustrated equally his beau jurors.
Ed (1996)
You lot could almost hear the collective shatter of the hearts of Friends fans around the globe when this bad boy flop came out. The sports comedy featured Matt LeBlanc — of Joey Tribbiani fame — and a lovable, baseball-playing chimpanzee named Ed. What could go wrong?
So much. Although the premise could have been a solid kid characteristic in the right hands, the filmmakers roughshod dorsum on a string of potty jokes and very lilliputian else to make the movie funny. The whole thing just seemed like such a waste product for LeBlanc's comedy skills, and it didn't do the chimp whatever favors either.
3 Strikes (2000)
Starring Brian Hooks and written by the same guy who penned the hysterical Fri, this comedy gem seemed destined to be a winner. Wrong! By the time information technology was all said and washed, critics were prepare to lock this 1 up and throw away the fundamental.
The plot centers around a two-strike felon who is trying his all-time to stay out of trouble, a chore that turns out to be surprisingly complicated. The movie relies mostly on super lowbrow humor, which might accept been excusable if it had actually managed to be funny.
Redline (2007)
You know those bargain bin DVDs that look like dollar store versions of pop movies? Redline is pretty much their king. Imagine The Fast and the Furious only without the plotline and with women depicted every bit nada more than arm processed. That pretty much sums upwards the movie.
Rather than try to tell a story of whatsoever sort, the film is a blatant vanity projection meant to bear witness off a bunch of flashy cars, complete with the calendar girl side pieces. Save your time and flip through a car calendar at a truck finish instead.
The Nutcracker in 3D (2010)
Seriously, how do y'all even mess up The Nutcracker? Sadly, this misguided children's pic pulled it off, much to the dismay of horrified film critics everywhere. The Hollywood Reporter chosen it "an apparent Scrooge-like attempt by Russian filmmaker Andrei Konchalovsky to forever ruin children's associations with the classic Yuletide ballet."
Despite the film's solid cast, which included Elle Fanning and Nathan Lane, it veered then far away from the much-loved traditional tale that it became something else entirely. You had 1 job, Nutcracker. Step away from the 3D glasses and stick to the beloved story.
National Lampoon'due south Aureate Diggers (2003)
This sincerely misguided effort at a one-act stars Will Friedle, who played the lovably bumbling Eric Matthews on Boy Meets Globe, and Chris Owen every bit the two least funny guys in whatsoever one-act ever. The hijinks begin when the boys determine to marry two older women, in hopes that they will soon dice and leave them a large inheritance.
Before long, everyone is trying to murder everyone else, and the mystery of why this mean-spirited flick was ever considered a comedy only keeps getting deeper. If yous want a existent laugh, read the film'south Rotten Tomatoes reviews instead.
Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (2002)
Look no further than this 2002 gem for proof that star power solitary can't save a bad pic. Starring Lucy Liu and Antonio Banderas, the motion picture is about ii authorities agents who are fighting over who can get their easily on some new diabolical weapon first.
An understandable plot, however, seems to be the terminal thing on the filmmakers' minds. The entire movie is more than similar ane big string of explosions, bullets and plotlines gone rogue (and incorrect). With more than 100 bad reviews to its name, if it'southward not the worst film of all time, it's definitely pretty shut.
Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas (2017)
Every bit 1 critic summed this one up, "Saving Christmas is basically fourscore minutes of Cameron lambasting Christians for not being his equal when it comes to intolerance and close-mindedness." The flick left both believers and nonbelievers akin wondering what had just happened to the incredibly confusing concluding 80 minutes of their lives.
The bizarre undertaking looks more than similar something Cameron filmed on his phone later a few too many egg nogs and is more or less him preaching a sermon he didn't bother to research. The whole matter comes beyond more similar a vanity piece than an inspirational bulletin.
Folks! (1992)
Tom Selleck, the thespian who resembles a real-life Ken doll, made a major mistake when he took the lead role in the incredibly problematic Folks. In the film, Selleck's Jon Aldrich tries to manage his work and personal life while his parents, specially his father who lives with dementia, continued to make his life more and more problematic.
Folks! was heavily panned for its negative portrayal of anyone over the age of 50, just particularly for the low-brow humor at the expense of someone living with dementia. You couldn't find whatsoever folks in the archives who had a practiced thing to say about this poorly-written movie.
A Low Down Dirty Shame (1994)
A motion picture with the likes of Keenen Ivory Wayans and Jada Pinkett Smith sounds similar information technology would be a recipe for a good movie, right? Wrong. This action/comedy dud written, directed by and starring Wayans was panned for its terrible plot lines and story structure.
Legendary picture critic had some particularly cutting words for the LAPD-focused flick: "Here is a movie about guns. Take abroad the guns, and the movie would be near zippo much. The plot, the dialogue and all just one of the characters are so shallow that, without murder for a punch line, they'd debunk." What a shame.
Precious Cargo (2016)
Sigh. Poor Bruce Willis. This motion-picture show was so bad it makes other bad movies wait good. Willis played the function of Eddie Filosa, who convinces a law-breaking boss and his gang to steal $thirty million in diamonds from another crime gang in exchange for a woman.
Another moving picture whose plot points and story structure are only filled with guns and high-speed chases. The cheap dialog and intentionally funny moments turned into a piece of painful, gut-wrenching movie theatre. It should honestly be retitled "Full Garbage".
Transylmania (2009)
A grouping of sexy higher co-eds party abroad in a vampire-filled Romania. What could possibly go wrong? When the lead grapheme Rusty arranges the Eurotrip then he could meet his Internet girlfriend Draguta, you lot realize how much actually will become wrong in this far-from-campy movie.
The movie is filled with a bunch of tired gags, monsters that aren't scary and too many characters to develop an analogousness towards whatever of them. For a flick from the National Lampoon franchise, this screwball comedy really fails to deliver any "mania" exterior of pure nausea.
London Fields (2018)
The clairvoyant Nicola Half-dozen, played by Amber Heard, learns that she will dice at the hands of a man in her life. Naturally, she begins to date three men to observe which one will be her killer. That makes total sense, right? Nothing confusing to contemplate there.
The picture show grossed $168,575 on its opening weekend, with a per-screen average of $261. The Contained's critic Kaleem Aftab claimed, "Well-nigh scenes lack pace, are performed badly and are accompanied by a running commentary of action nosotros can see for ourselves."
