00:00 "Gary! Is that you? Look how handsome you are!"
00:04 Welcome to WatchMojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most dismal films of the 21st century.
00:11 "Ha ha ha. What a story, Mark."
00:14 "Yeah, you can say that again."
00:15 Number 30. Winnie the Pooh, Blood and Honey.
00:19 "Remember when we were younger, Pooh? Pooh, please, ah."
00:23 "Why, why are you doing this?"
00:27 A horror reimagining of beloved childhood characters is bound to be controversial,
00:32 but it turns out even more horrifying than the gory kills in this movie was the screenplay.
00:37 In January 2022, the first Winnie the Pooh book went into the public domain,
00:43 allowing writer-director Reese Frake-Waterfield to plan his own
00:46 nightmare version of A. A. Milne's classic story.
00:48 A slasher that sees Pooh and friends kidnap Christopher Robin and go on a murderous rampage
00:53 against a group of university students, the movie was panned for its weak dialogue, story, and acting.
00:59 However, it did make over five million dollars on a budget of just $100,000,
01:04 and so there's a sequel in the works.
01:07 "Why would you leave me alone? He just keeps following me everywhere I go."
01:11 Number 29. After Earth.
01:13 "I wanna work with mom."
01:14 "Me too."
01:20 This 2013 post-apocalyptic action movie starring Will Smith and his son Jaden
01:25 was directed by M. Night Shyamalan, a director famous for his surprise twist endings.
01:30 Unfortunately, this entry doesn't have a surprise twist where we tell you how it was actually a good film.
01:35 With flat performances and a cliched, preachy, predictable story,
01:39 After Earth was disliked by both critics and audiences.
01:43 Will Smith had pitched the movie to the studio as just the beginning of a series of films,
01:47 television shows, theme park rides, and much more.
01:50 Needless to say, that all went away after the film was released.
01:54 "That sucked."
01:55 "That is correct."
01:57 Number 28. Street Fighter.
01:59 The Legend of Chun-Li.
02:00 "Should we kill you before or after we cut you?"
02:03 While the video game franchise is still going strong,
02:06 we've still never gotten a quality live-action Street Fighter movie.
02:10 At least the 1994 film with Jean-Claude Van Damme made money at the box office.
02:15 However, not only did 2009's Street Fighter The Legend of Chun-Li lose the studio money,
02:21 it was even worse than the 1994 film, something many probably never thought possible.
02:26 Besides the terrible writing and cardboard acting,
02:29 The Legend of Chun-Li was also criticized for less than stellar fight scenes.
02:33 And if you can't at least get awesome fight scenes in a Street Fighter movie,
02:37 then what's the point?
02:39 "How do you know who I am?"
02:40 "We've been watching you for some time. I know who took your father."
02:45 "He's alive?"
02:47 Number 27. Holmes and Watson.
02:49 "Watson, stop panicking! We can disable the Queen!"
02:53 After Talladega Nights and Stepbrothers,
02:55 we were all ready for another Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly collaboration to be a laugh riot.
03:00 The only mystery in Holmes and Watson is how so many funny people
03:04 produced such a clueless, not to mention elementary comedy.
03:08 The movie basically follows the same formula as every other Will Ferrell star vehicle.
03:13 An egotistical buffoon needs to learn the value of humility and friendship.
03:17 "Ah, the most obvious conclusion."
03:19 This time, however, the formula is devoid of anything resembling charm, humor or effort.
03:25 In 2018, did the filmmakers seriously think that people would laugh at jokes about fake mustaches,
03:30 the Titanic and women being doctors?
03:32 "What does 'doctor' mean in America?"
03:35 "It means doctor."
03:36 The fact that Sony couldn't even pawn this inevitable bomb off on Netflix says everything.
03:42 Number 26. The Haunting of Sharon Tate
03:44 "Well, well, well. Pregnant little starlet. She's got some fight in her."
03:54 The premise sounds just awful, but somehow it was made into a film.
03:58 Writer-director Daniel Farren's horror movie stars Hilary Duff as Sharon Tate,
04:02 who's having premonitions of her murder.
04:05 A murder that, of course, really did happen in the summer of 1969.
04:09 There are a few worthwhile movies about Charles Manson and the Manson family murders,
04:13 and you're definitely better off watching them instead.
04:16 The exploitative screenplay and miscasting of Hilary Duff were poorly received by critics
04:21 and audiences alike. It is a cheap schlock horror take on tragic real events.
04:27 "I guess you could say I live in a fairy tale world.
04:30 Looking at everything through rose-colored glasses. I probably always will."
04:37 Number 25. Glitter
04:39 There's been no shortage of quality musical dramas in the 21st century,
04:42 but this is not one of them.
04:44 Mariah Carey has tried to blame the film's failure on the fact it was released on 9/11,
04:48 even though it was actually released on the much less traumatic 9/21.
04:52 "You got anything we can hear right now? Sure, why not?"
04:56 "We're working on it."
04:57 But the fact that critics and fans alike loathed the film seems like a far more likely explanation.
05:02 For one, Carey's performance as Billy Frank was so harshly criticized,
05:07 she ended up winning the Razzie in 2002 for worst actress.
05:10 "Your whole thing, the superstar always comes first."
05:13 "Don't blame me for your failure."
05:15 After just 27 days in theaters, it closed having earned back only around a quarter
05:20 of its 22 million dollar budget. All that glitters clearly ain't box office gold.
05:25 Number 24. Pinocchio
05:27 "Could you find it in her heart to forgive me?
05:29 Then I asked myself, is it possible that her heart is big enough?
05:34 I thought no, no, but then yes, of course it is."
05:37 Italian actor, writer, and director Roberto Benigni became a household name with the release
05:42 of his multi-award winning film Life is Beautiful in 1997. But life wasn't so beautiful five years
05:48 later when his film Pinocchio made its way to theaters. What made Life is Beautiful so amazing
05:54 was Benigni's ability to bring true moments of beauty in the midst of unthinkable monstrosity.
05:59 But in Pinocchio, that joie de vivre is missing. Instead, it feels like Benigni is just going
06:05 through the motions. There's also the questionable edit that Miramax did to the film for the English
06:10 dubbed version released in the US. While the Italian release received mixed reviews,
06:15 the US version rocks 0% on Rotten Tomatoes.
06:19 "These are donkey ears!"
06:22 Number 23. Saving Christmas
06:24 "Just maybe, someone like Santa Claus is actually on the team?"
06:34 Best known for his role as Mike Seaver on Growing Pains, Kirk Cameron became a born-again Christian
06:39 at 17 and has spent much of the last decades producing TV and movies that speak to his faith.
06:45 One such work was the 2014 holiday film Saving Christmas, which begins with Cameron delivering
06:50 a diatribe to the audience that Christmas is under attack. The movie/sermon that follows
06:56 consists of Cameron's arguments to a character playing his brother-in-law, named Christian,
07:00 for the Christian roots of Christmas. The only people who are angrier than Cameron are those
07:06 that had to watch this poorly written and painfully acted slog. As one YouTube commenter put it,
07:11 quote, "Finally, something that both atheists and Christians can dislike."
07:16 "S-A-N-T-A. Rearrange the letters. Satan. Santa. Satan. Same letters."
07:22 Number 22. The Hottie and the Naughty
07:25 "June's a handler at the zoo."
07:26 "That's great!"
07:28 "The only downside is that I'm constantly covered in hair. Not that I don't already
07:34 have enough to begin with."
07:35 Shockingly, Paris Hilton's acting isn't even the worst thing about this movie.
07:39 She plays the titular hottie, Christabel, the love interest of Joel David Moore's Nate.
07:44 When Nate asks her out, she agrees, but only if he finds a date for her best friend, the naughty.
07:50 What follows are cruel jokes at the naughty's expense, a dramatic makeover, and true love.
07:56 While the film may see itself as celebrating inner beauty, it definitely does not.
08:01 The script, the dialogue, and the depth of characters are as surface-level as the
08:06 beauty that really matters in this movie.
08:08 "I-I-It's a little bit of a shock to the system. We have the whole new look."
08:12 Number 21. Catwoman
08:14 "Meow."
08:15 Here's a movie executive board meeting we can't imagine happening.
08:19 "Hey guys, the campaign news of Batman and Robin was such a success,
08:22 let's create the same cheesy atmosphere for this Batman spin-off and not use Batman at all."
08:27 Extra points to Halle Berry for agreeing to do this fresh off her Oscar win though.
08:31 "Cats come when they feel like it, not when they're told."
08:36 It won Razzie's for worst picture, screenplay, actress, and director.
08:41 And everybody, even Halle Berry, agreed that this was a piece of garbage.
08:45 "If you don't have an identity, why keep it a secret?"
08:48 "Because you killed me."
08:51 Not only did it have barely anything to do with the DC Comics characters,
08:55 it also lacked any strong female characters, action sequences, or even a compelling plot.
09:01 Jeez, where's Michelle Pfeiffer when we need her?
09:03 "Game over. Guess what? It's overtime."
09:10 Number 20, Fantastic Four.
09:12 The next entry on our list is a case of tripping right out of the gate.
09:15 Director Josh Trank was a relative newcomer to the scene
09:18 when he was hired to helm 2015's big budget reboot of Marvel's Fantastic Four franchise.
09:23 "Victor! Come on! We can't leave him. Wait, we gotta go now! Come on!"
09:29 Trank had only one prior directorial credit in film to his name with 2012's Chronicle.
09:34 Yet the writing was on the proverbial wall when Trank posted a negative tweet
09:37 about his experience on the film prior to its release.
09:40 "He's been active in covert operations with a 100% success rate."
09:44 This was in addition to the already poor reception Fant Fourstic was receiving from critics,
09:48 who wrote off the film as a quote "woefully misguided attempt to translate a classic comic series
09:54 without the humor, joy, or colorful thrills that made it great."
09:58 Ouch.
09:59 "Gotta say, it's fantastic."
10:02 Number 19, Bucky Larson.
10:04 Born to be a star.
10:06 "Oh, you hit me in the eye!"
10:09 We guess you could say that Nick Swordson was the 2010's equivalent to Rob Schneider,
10:13 i.e. the guy who frequently pops up in Adam Sandler movies.
10:16 Whereas Schneider had a few star vehicles back in the day though,
10:19 Swordson was given one shot to prove he could carry a movie.
10:23 "That's my folks on the big screen."
10:27 If Bucky Larson proves anything, it's that Swordson was not born to be a star.
10:32 Centering on a buck-toothed mouth breather who learns his parents were adult film stars,
10:37 Bucky Larson sets out in pursuit of fame.
10:39 It's basically a poorer version of Orgasmo, which didn't exactly set the bar very high.
10:45 Throw in Pauly Shore and you've got a movie that clearly is not even trying.
10:50 "Hey ma'am, I got your paper."
10:51 "You can leave the paper on the counter."
10:54 Number 18, The Adventures of Pluto Nash.
11:00 "You married twins, huh?"
11:01 "No, they're not twins. I met the perfect woman and then I had a clone."
11:04 "Which one's which?"
11:05 "Who cares?"
11:06 This sci-fi comedy was in development for almost two decades.
11:10 We're not sure why they bothered.
11:12 After Eddie Murphy signed on, several writers took cracks at the story,
11:16 but Murphy rejected them all, asking for a regular action movie script
11:20 like they'd write for Sylvester Stallone, promising that he'd bring the comedy.
11:24 "You're a genius."
11:25 "What did I do?"
11:25 "You're a genius. Now look what you did. That's how she saw it. She saw it upside down."
11:29 Well, unfortunately, The Adventures of Pluto Nash just isn't funny,
11:33 and the action isn't very interesting either.
11:35 Even director Ron Underwood has admitted that it isn't good,
11:38 and said of Murphy, quote, "He wasn't feeling that funny, I don't think."
11:42 Yeah, we noticed.
11:43 "How did they find us?"
11:45 "Obviously, you did something stupid."
11:47 Number 17, Norm of the North.
11:50 "I didn't know what to do. No other bear seemed to be able to speak human."
11:54 If anyone thought that making a good animated movie is as easy as throwing together a bunch
11:59 of cute talking animals, Norm of the North is here to prove you wrong.
12:03 Talking animals alone do not a good movie make,
12:06 because what they're saying is also very important.
12:09 And what they say in this one are mostly a lot of tired jokes interspersed throughout a film
12:14 that obviously takes, um, inspiration from the likes of Happy Feet, Madagascar, and Ice Age,
12:20 but without any of the charm or heart.
12:22 "What's he doing?"
12:23 "He wants you to stomp on him, he wants you to prove how tough he is."
12:25 "Well, you would've almost had to hook him."
12:28 "Could he sign a release first?"
12:29 Number 16, Cats.
12:31 "The naming of cats is a difficult matter."
12:36 We all know that having an all-star cast does not always translate into a successful picture,
12:40 but that was just the tip of the iceberg when it came to Cats.
12:43 The Tom Hooper-directed fantasy musical was absolutely annihilated upon release.
12:47 With critics tearing apart CGI glitches that were so obvious,
12:51 Universal Pictures had to send out visual updates to theaters after the movie was already released.
12:56 Meanwhile, audiences had to sit through a nightmarish and disjointed story
13:00 that had silver screen icons like Ian McKellen and Judi Dench
13:03 clawing away needlessly at their storied careers and reputations.
13:07 Plus, with those post-release CGI fixes,
13:10 the losses on Cats are expected to reach between 70 and 100 million dollars,
13:15 making it a total flop on all accounts.
13:17 "That's what I say to you, okay?"
13:20 Number 15, Dragon Ball Evolution.
13:23 "I will defeat Ozaru, and I'm here to destroy you."
13:28 This movie lives in live-action adaptation infamy.
13:31 Dragon Ball has been a beloved franchise since the release of the manga and anime in the mid-1980s,
13:36 but this 2009 live-action adaptation wasn't for the fans,
13:40 showing very little faith to the source material.
13:43 Then there was the casting, which invited accusations of whitewashing.
13:47 Add in a weak script and awful acting, and you've got Dragon Ball Evolution.
13:52 Critics and fans are not always on the same page,
13:55 but in this case, they were lockstep in their agreement.
13:58 "It doesn't feel right. I must be missing something."
14:00 Needless to say, the rest of the movies in the planned Dragon Ball series were cancelled.
14:05 "We are just stuck down here. I'd be, uh, so grateful
14:10 if you could just help me and my friends out."
14:12 Number 14, Alone in the Dark.
14:14 "What the hell's going on here?"
14:16 Especially known for his video game adaptations,
14:19 Luba Bull has built a reputation for directing some of the worst movies of all time,
14:23 with most of his productions becoming critical and box office disasters.
14:27 He also doesn't care what you think.
14:29 Although House of the Dead deserves a special mention,
14:32 it's his other video game adaptation that's our choice.
14:34 In Alone in the Dark, Christian Slater uses his special powers
14:42 to chase after these demonic creatures that used to be worshipped by an extinct civilization.
14:46 And it is epically bad.
14:49 "If they disrupt electricity, how come my flashlight still worked?"
14:52 Number 13, Gotti.
14:54 "This life ends one of two ways. Dead or in jail. I did both."
14:59 Congratulations, John Travolta.
15:01 You've made your silliest movie since Battlefield Earth.
15:04 "Are you not aware that I graduated top of my class?"
15:07 The script for this crime biopic reads like it was written by an AI bot
15:11 that gathered all of its data from Italian-American stereotypes and gangster cliches.
15:16 "You got us into this mess, please."
15:18 Gotti hits all the familiar mob movie beats,
15:20 but it's completely deprived of any humanity.
15:23 When all's said and done,
15:24 what do we really learn about John Gotti by watching this movie?
15:27 Well, he was a mob boss, he had a family, he swore a lot.
15:32 That's about it.
15:33 There's no real insight into what made Gotti such a fascinating figure.
15:37 The only thing more confused than the movie itself is the soundtrack.
15:41 Which includes the musical stylings of Pitbull and the theme from Shaft.
15:45 "I mean, that ain't right. That ain't right."
15:47 Number 12, The Emoji Movie.
15:49 "Today is my first day on the phone. Oh boy, I'm gonna be so meh. What are you gonna do?"
15:55 In 1914, Winsor McCay premiered his animated short, Gertie the Dinosaur,
16:00 launching a groundbreaking art form into the mainstream.
16:04 103 years later, this art form was used to turn Sir Patrick Stewart into a talking piece of poop.
16:10 "That's because I believe in you."
16:12 "Should we wash our hands?"
16:14 McCay would be so proud.
16:20 The Emoji Movie doesn't even feel like a real animated feature,
16:23 but rather a satire of one.
16:25 Come to think of it, if smarter writers were involved,
16:28 maybe this could have been a clever satire about product placement and Hollywood's creative bankruptcy.
16:32 "This feels very odd, and it smells."
16:35 Since this is a movie about a society that inhabits a device, however,
16:38 it's nothing more than a commercial, really.
16:40 As Rotten Tomatoes will tell you,
16:43 the whole movie can be summed up with a general prohibition sign emoji.
16:47 "Aim higher, Steven."
16:48 Number 11, Freddy Got Fingered.
16:51 "What in the name of sweet breakfast meats are you doing?"
16:55 Even when he was making the Tom Green show for local Canadian television,
16:58 then the Comedy Network, and eventually MTV,
17:01 we understood that the comedian is an acquired taste.
17:04 And while many of us enjoyed the subversive comedy on his show,
17:07 his 2001 film Freddy Got Fingered is a flavor many of us did not ever acquire.
17:12 Sausages hanging from ceilings and newborns swung around by their umbilical cord
17:17 just didn't scream funny to a lot of us.
17:19 While the movie has gained a cult following in the intervening decades,
17:23 it still holds a 10% critic score and a 56 audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
17:28 "My dad was right all along, it is stupid."
17:31 Number 10, Gigli.
17:32 Thanks to Benefer 1.0, this monstrosity received way more attention than it deserved.
17:37 However, that didn't stop the movie from being among Hollywood's most expensive bombs ever.
17:42 "In every relationship, there's a bull and a cow.
17:45 It just so happens that in this relationship right here with me and you,
17:48 I'm the bull, you're the cow."
17:51 In Gigli, Ben Affleck is a mobster who needs to kidnap a prosecutor's brother
17:56 who has mental disabilities in order to help a crime boss played by Al Pacino avoid prison.
18:01 You all guessed right, this is clearly a romantic comedy.
18:04 "What about me is not your type?"
18:06 "Your penis."
18:12 This movie is offensive to people with mental disabilities,
18:16 to lesbians, and to any audience members with eyes or ears.
18:20 After winning six Razzies, it later won a seventh
18:23 for worst comedy of the Razzie's first 25 years.
18:27 Well deserved.
18:28 Number 9, Son of the Mask.
18:30 "Don't you just love Halloween?"
18:32 Following the mega success of The Mask,
18:37 the studio found a sequel irresistible and wanted to bring back Jim Carrey.
18:42 The problem was that Carrey didn't want to do it,
18:45 and that's why instead of The Mask 2, we got Son of the Mask instead.
18:49 And the results were anything but
18:51 "Smokehead!"
18:54 The script feels like a premise desperately trying to find a story,
18:57 and the CGI can't hide just how unfunny it all is.
19:01 And no disrespect to Jamie Kennedy, but he's no Jim Carrey.
19:05 To paraphrase the original Mask,
19:07 "Somebody should have stopped him from agreeing to be in this movie."
19:11 In fact, somebody should have stopped everyone from making it.
19:14 "Who's a turkey?"
19:15 Number 8, The Last Airbender.
19:19 "Is it okay if you tell me your name?"
19:21 "The monks named me Aang."
19:22 The Last Airbender lived up to its title,
19:25 but not in the way director M. Night Shyamalan intended.
19:28 Shyamalan built up this film as if it was gonna kick off Hollywood's next epic trilogy.
19:32 Between its rushed plot, wooden acting, overproduced special effects,
19:44 unnatural dialogue, and accusations of whitewashing though,
19:47 a sequel naturally never saw the light of day.
19:50 The good news is that there's already an epic trilogy,
19:53 the three-season-long animated series that inspired this cinematic travesty.
19:57 That being said, the fact that The Last Airbender was derived from such a brilliant show
20:01 is what truly gets under people's skin.
20:04 A terrible movie is one thing.
20:05 A terrible movie based on promising source material is just shameful.
20:09 Number 7, Movie 43.
20:17 "Hello Mrs. Miller, I'm the pretty girl."
20:20 "She is."
20:22 Helmed by Peter Farrelly,
20:24 who'd ironically gone on to direct a Best Picture winner only five years later,
20:28 Movie 43 was supposed to be Kentucky Fried Movie meets Funny or Die.
20:33 Instead, we got the Citizen Kane of Awful, as Richard Roper put it.
20:37 Comprised of several sketches,
20:39 this anthology comedy enlisted a cornucopia of gifted actors and filmmakers.
20:43 The selling point was a skit where Kate Winslet goes on a date with Hugh Jackman,
20:48 who's given a unique neck abnormality.
20:51 - "Hi." - "Lois."
20:52 - "Yes." - "Lois Lane."
20:54 - "No, I know, I've, I've, it's, it's me, Robin."
20:57 From there, more and more stars signed up for a comedy that ultimately produced few laughs,
21:02 but plenty of groans and cringes.
21:05 We dare you to find a movie released that same decade that flushed more talent down the toilet.
21:10 - "A certain percentage of our younger demographic are sticking their, you know what, in the vent."
21:15 - "No, I don't know what."
21:17 Number 6. Birdemic, Shock and Terror.
21:20 - "So, uh, what do you do?" - "Um, I'm a fashion model."
21:25 - "And a beautiful one, too." - "Thanks."
21:28 Because of climate change, birds have mutated into creatures who attack humans,
21:32 spit acid, and explode upon hitting the ground.
21:36 Lovers Rod and Natalie are caught in the middle of this deadly phenomenon
21:39 and must escape with their lives and those they can save along the way.
21:43 Trust us, we feel even dumber saying all that than you do listening to it.
21:48 But that is 2010's Birdemic, Shock and Terror in a nutshell.
21:52 The film was made for just $10,000 and ooh, does it show.
21:56 The visual effects are laughable and while money can be blamed for the effects,
22:01 it isn't an excuse for such an awful script,
22:04 painful dialogue, and some of the worst acting you'll ever see.
22:07 - "Sir, don't you know that these birds are attacking people?"
22:11 - "These birds?" - "Yes."
22:13 - "No way, they're dead from the, uh, bird flu virus."
22:16 Number 5. Superbabies, Baby Geniuses 2.
22:19 - "What are you guys blabbering about?" - "Oh, they're not babbling, they're talking."
22:24 At the heart of this movie are babies who can talk to each other using baby talk,
22:28 and a superbaby who drinks some kind of green drink to become a powerful fighter.
22:33 There's also Jon Voight with a German accent as the bad guy,
22:36 a whole lot of terrible puns, and boring action scenes.
22:39 Just 'cause it's all done with cute kids does not make it better.
22:42 And if you're wondering why Superbabies, Baby Geniuses 2 made our list,
22:47 but the original Baby Geniuses didn't,
22:49 it's only because the latter was released in 1999, last century.
22:54 - "If we find the key to the human mind, every child will be educated in the Kinder Method."
23:00 - "Every great mind will be ours to mold."
23:02 Number 4. Food Fight.
23:04 - "Listen up, fat cat burglar. I'm giving you one last chance to hand 'em over before I cash in your coupons for you."
23:10 Some movies should stay in development hell.
23:13 This computer-animated adventure comedy about food mascots was originally set to be released in 2003,
23:19 but delayed until 2012 when the world finally got to see what they'd been working on all that time.
23:25 And the world wasn't impressed.
23:27 - "When in doubt, just do the right thing and you can't go wrong."
23:30 - "Yeah, man, but I don't wanna lose you too."
23:32 We're not sure what they were doing that whole time, but based on the poor script and awful animation,
23:36 it can't have been writing or animating.
23:39 They failed on every level.
23:41 As an adventure, it wasn't fun, and as a comedy, it wasn't funny.
23:45 Then there was the annoyingly obvious product placement.
23:49 We'd rather have someone throw actual food at us than ever have to watch this thing again.
23:53 - "You want some?"
23:54 - "Oh, yeah."
23:55 - "It warms my heart the way you love my raisins, tough guy."
24:01 Number 3 - Jack and Jill
24:03 - "How we doing?"
24:04 - "Where were you? I've been waiting forever for you!"
24:08 We're glad that Adam Sandler closed out the decade with his acclaimed performance in Uncut Gems
24:13 because he kicked off the decade with a Razzie-winning performance in Jack and Jill.
24:17 Actually, he gave two Razzie-winning performances,
24:20 playing Adman Jack and his unbelievably obnoxious twin sister Jill.
24:24 - "Oh, Polly Wolly Zoom golly golly. That means I wanna choke on my own vomit!"
24:30 The film even managed to win a Razzie in every category, an unprecedented achievement.
24:36 Even in a decade that brought us Pixels and Grown Ups 2,
24:39 Jack and Jill is Sandler's crowning achievement of lazy anti-humor.
24:43 Al Pacino says it best in the final scene where he orders Jack to "burn this".
24:48 In the story's context, he's talking about a commercial,
24:51 but it just as easily could be applied to the movie we just endured.
24:54 - "Everyone wants my Dunk-a-cino. Can't get enough of my Dunk-a-cino."
24:59 Number 2 - Battlefield Earth
25:01 Many of our entries can be seen as career killers,
25:04 but Battlefield Earth brought John Travolta to an all-time low.
25:07 - "Oh, thank you, sir. I don't know if I could have kept my sanity to be here another five cycles."
25:14 Although most actors are forced to take these steps down for a paycheck,
25:18 Travolta spent years bringing this movie to the world,
25:21 claiming its source material was better than Star Wars.
25:24 - "Please forgive my pretension as I try to educate you in Cyclone,
25:30 the noble language of our superiors."
25:32 Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard wrote the book in an attempt to bring the religion to
25:36 younger audiences, and that book serves as the basis of the sci-fi action flick.
25:41 Needless to say, the world wasn't interested.
25:44 When the most horrible acting you've ever seen is topped by camera work that will give you a
25:48 cramp in the neck, it's not surprising you have a recipe for unintentional hilarity.
25:51 - "Stupid humans."

26:08 Number 1. The Room
26:11 When your movie sparks a debate about film as "outsider art" and gets compared to
26:16 "getting stabbed in the head," you know you've done something special.
26:19 - "Do you want me to order a pizza?"
26:21 - "Whatever, I don't care."
26:23 - "I already ordered a pizza."
26:25 - "You think about everything."
26:27 The Room was created by Tommy Wiseau, a mysterious eccentric who delivers one of
26:32 the most head-scratching performances ever as the lead in this cringe-worthy romantic drama.
26:36 - "I did not hit her."
26:37 - "I did not."
26:38 - "Oh, hi Mark."
26:40 - "Oh, hey Johnny, what's up?"
26:42 Wiseau plays a banker in San Francisco named Johnny,
26:44 who's trying to cope with the infidelities of his fiancée Lisa.
26:48 - "You are tearing me apart, Lisa!"
26:50 - "Why are you so hysterical?"
26:52 - "Do you understand life? Do you?"
26:55 From the melodramatic acting and awkward sex scenes to the nonsense plot,
27:01 the movie tries to convince audiences that it's authentic and real,
27:04 while somehow missing every single note.
27:07 - "Go, Chief!"
27:08 - "Chief Peter, you're clumsy."
27:16 There's a reason The Room has often been called the best worst movie ever made.
27:20 What films do you think are the worst of the century so far? Let us know in the comments below.
27:25 This is why Superman works alone.
