47 titles
- DirectorFrank PerryStarsFaye DunawayDiana ScarwidSteve ForrestThe abusive and traumatic adoptive upbringing of Christina Crawford at the hands of her mother, screen queen Joan Crawford, is depicted.Perfectly fine drama about an abusive mother did not deserve to win 6 Razzies, including worst picture of the decade. Faye Dunaway is legitimately good as Joan Crawford and the other actors are fine as well. There are some over-the-top scenes, sure, but worst of the decade? Hell no. Should've won: Tarzan, the Ape Man
- DirectorGeorge P. CosmatosStarsSylvester StalloneRichard CrennaCharles NapierRambo returns to the jungles of Vietnam on a mission to infiltrate an enemy base-camp and rescue the American POWs still held captive there.Cheesy but very entertaining action movie has explosions, guns, and it influenced a ton of action movies. Then again, the Razzies hate fun, almost as much as they hate 12-year-old girls. Should've won: Howling 2: Your Sister is a Werewolf (not nominated)
- DirectorAndrew DominikStarsAna de ArmasLily FisherJulianne NicholsonThe story of American actress Marilyn Monroe, covering her love and professional lives.Biopic about Marilyn Monroe tries to provide deep commentary on the abuse she faced in her life. Problem is, Monroe’s entire character in the film is “tragic sexually abused woman” which makes the film’s graphic depictions feel shallow and exploitative. Even so, Ana de Armas’ Oscar-nominated performance as Monroe is amazing and the film is visually inventive and ambitious. That alone should remove it from consideration as the year’s worst. Should've won: 365 Days: This Day (not nominated)
- DirectorDavid SeltzerStarsMichael DouglasMelanie GriffithLiam NeesonAn American woman of Irish and Jewish-German parentage goes undercover in Nazi Germany.Watchable drama set during the holocaust is very unrealistic. Woman who just so happens to know German becomes a Nazi-Spy because she knows a lot from movies? Melanie Griffith’s acting is also very wooden, especially when she narrates. Should've won: Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot (not nominated)
- DirectorAdrian LyneStarsRobert RedfordDemi MooreWoody HarrelsonA billionaire offers $1,000,000 to a young married couple for one night with the wife.Interesting movie about a millionaire who pays a couple for the wife to stay with him for one night is ruined by wooden acting and ridiculous plot points. It is never remotely convincing that the wife would fall in love with the billionaire. The film is still watchable, though, so I guess a better name for it would have been Quarter-decent Proposal. Should've won: Super Mario Bros (not nominated)
- DirectorRoger DonaldsonStarsTom CruiseBryan BrownElisabeth ShueA talented New York City bartender takes a job at a bar in Jamaica and falls in love.Predictable drama starring Tom Cruise is hard to take seriously, and its messages about how love is more important than money are utterly contrived. The film isn’t bad though. Just mediocre. Plus, Kokomo by the Beach Boys absolutely slaps. Should've won: Caddyshack II or Mac and Me
- DirectorBill CondonStarsKristen StewartRobert PattinsonTaylor LautnerAfter the birth of Renesmee/Nessie, the Cullens gather other vampire clans in order to protect the child from a false allegation that puts the family in front of the Volturi.The fifth and final Twilight film has the same wooden acting and melodramatic tone people have come to expect from the series. The only difference is we get to see Bella and Edward’s daughter, who starts out as a hideous CGI abomination and matures to become Jacob’s wife. Geez Jacob, I know you’re probably still bummed about losing Bella to Edward but going after their daughter is no way to enlighten yourself. The only redeeming quality of this film is Michael Sheen’s wonderfully hammy performance as the villain and the final battle scene is kinda entertaining even if it turns out to be just a vision. Matter of fact, let’s pretend this entire series was just a vision. Should've won: That's My Boy
- DirectorSam Taylor-JohnsonStarsDakota JohnsonJamie DornanJennifer EhleLiterature student Anastasia Steele's life changes forever when she meets handsome, yet tormented, billionaire Christian Grey.Here’s another movie where a clueless woman gets seduced by a billionaire, only even less convincing as Jamie Dornan is no Robert Redford. Him and Dakota Johnson talk in the same monotone voice for the entire movie and utter lines that make them sound like aliens (“this is fifty shades of f**ked up”). Another disappointment is that the character Ana Steele doesn’t shout “Holy Cow” over and over during the film’s sex scenes like in the book. Should've won: Fantastic Four (tied with it for Worst Picture)
- DirectorMichael Caton-JonesStarsSharon StoneDavid MorrisseyDavid ThewlisNovelist Catherine Tramell is once again in trouble with the law, and Scotland Yard appoints psychiatrist Dr. Michael Glass to evaluate her. Though, like Detective Nick Curran before him, Glass is entranced by Tramell and lured into a seductive game.Sequel to the 90s thriller is little more than a bland rehash of the original. The movie never convinces us that the main character Dr. Glass would be seduced by Sharon Stone’s character which just makes him look brainless. She even admits to killing his wife in one scene but still manages to lure him into bed. I guess you could say he lacked a “basic instinct”. That pun was still better than the movie’s dialogue which uses big boy words like cum in every sentence to sound sexy. Should've won: Pledge This (not nominated)
- DirectorBarry SonnenfeldStarsWill SmithKevin KlineKenneth BranaghThe two best special agents in the Wild West must save President Grant from the clutches of a diabolical, wheelchair-bound, steampunk-savvy, Confederate scientist bent on revenge for losing the Civil War.Lame action movie isn’t cheesy fun like Independence Day. It’s just plain stupid. The one-liners are weak (“No more Mr. ‘Knife’ Guy”), and the main villain’s accent is terrible. Will Smith is the only decent part of this, along with a few good action scenes. Should've won: Baby Geniuses (not nominated)
- DirectorKevin CostnerStarsKevin CostnerWill PattonLarenz TateA nameless drifter dons a postman's uniform and bag of mail as he begins a quest to inspire hope to the survivors living in post-apocalyptic America.The Postman (1997) Kevin Costner stars, directs, produces, and even sings in this 3-hour post-apocalyptic epic. Except it’s not epic, with a level of schmaltz that would make Hallmark movies cringe. The dialogue, messages, music, and use of slo-mo all reek of cheese.
Costner may have brought hope to America, but not to his career. Should've won: Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (not nominated) - DirectorWilliam ShatnerStarsWilliam ShatnerLeonard NimoyDeForest KelleyCaptain Kirk and his crew must deal with Mr. Spock's long-lost half-brother who hijacks the Enterprise for an obsessive search for God at the center of the galaxy.Easily the worst movie in the Star Trek series. The plot is boring and there is no tension or character development. There is also far too much preaching about god. I came here to watch Star Trek, not God’s Not Dead. Come to think of it, the third Star Trek movie could have been called Spock’s Not Dead. Should've won: Going Overboard (not nominated)
- DirectorPrinceMichael BallhausStarsPrinceJerome BentonKristin Scott ThomasTwo con artist brothers attempt to swindle a soon-to-be wealthy heiress, but things get complicated when one falls in love with her.Prince shows that he should have stuck to singing in this predictable romance. Prince’s acting is lackluster and Jerome Benton (I’m sorry, who?) is laughable, spouting some of the film's dumbest lines. In one of the first scenes, Prince plays with a rubber ducky in a bathtub like he’s Ernie from Sesame Street. They should have called this movie “Acid Rain”. Should've won: Howard the Duck (tied with it for Worst Picture)
- DirectorMichael BayStarsShia LaBeoufMegan FoxJosh DuhamelSam Witwicky leaves the Autobots behind for a normal life. But when his mind is filled with cryptic symbols, the Decepticons target him and he is dragged back into the Transformers' war.Explosions, one-note characters, explosions, mindless action, explosions, robot testicles. Did I forget to say explosions? Should've won: Dragonball Evolution (not nominated)
- DirectorAndrew BergmanStarsDemi MooreBurt ReynoldsArmand AssanteA stripper and single mother gets dragged into a dangerous situation after a congressman takes a fancy to her.Lackluster erotic thriller doesn’t know if it wants to be serious or silly. Demi Moore’s acting is very wooden, and the other actors are painfully campy. The plot is all over the place, and the climax (which results in the bad guys getting doused with sugar) is insultingly stupid. Also, way too many erotic dancing scenes. Hopefully, Chris Rock won’t predict a Striptease 2 anytime soon. Should've won: Bio-Dome (not nominated)
- DirectorRichard RushStarsBruce WillisJane MarchRubén BladesA color-blind psychoanalyst is stalked by an unknown killer after taking over his murdered friend's therapy group, all of whom have a connection to a mysterious young woman that he begins having intense sexual encounters with.In this thriller, Bruce Willis plays a colorblind psychologist, and I think I became blind after the film showed me his willie. He has an affair with a woman named Rose and they have sex in an alleyway, a pool, on a table, and in a bathtub. It’s later revealed that Rose disguised herself as a mentally challenged boy with glasses in a performance that would make the producers of Simple Jack offended. Should've won: North
- DirectorRhys Frake-WaterfieldStarsNikolai LeonMaria TaylorNatasha Rose MillsAfter Christopher Robin abandons them for college, Pooh and Piglet embark on a bloody rampage as they search for a new source of food.In this retelling of the beloved children’s book, Winnie-the Pooh and friends become feral, bloodthirsty killers after Christopher Robin leaves for college. When he returns as an adult, Pooh and Piglet imprison and torture him as well as a group of random women. Horror cliches abound, complete with terrible acting and laughable costumes for Pooh and Piglet. The film is entertaining during it's gory moments, though, and is fun to watch with others. Should've won: Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey
- DirectorEtan CohenStarsWill FerrellJohn C. ReillyRalph FiennesA humorous take on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's classic mysteries featuring Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson.Elementary, my dear Watson is a fitting description for this disappointing Sherlock Holmes parody that might as well have been written by elementary schoolers. Jokes about duck lips, fake mustaches, women being doctors, etc would’ve been dated in the time period this film takes place. It doesn't help that Ferrell and Reilly scream all their lines like they're in constant fear of staying irrelevant. Some may have put it lower on the list but a few jokes made me chuckle (don’t kill me). Should've won: Death of a Nation (not nominated)
- DirectorNancy WalkerStarsRay SimpsonDavid HodoFelipe RoseA pseudo autobiography of disco's The Village People.The very first movie to win worst picture at the Razzies is still pretty bad all these years later. Fictionalizing how the Village People music group got together, the film is full of bad acting, stereotypes, and music sequences that compare to a fever dream. I never thought I’d hear a “funky” song about milk. Should've won: Can't Stop the Music
- DirectorJosh TrankStarsMiles TellerKate MaraMichael B. JordanFour young outsiders teleport to an alternate and dangerous universe which alters their physical form in shocking ways. The four must learn to harness their new abilities and work together to save Earth from a former friend turned enemy.Disappointing reboot of the popular superhero team feels very rushed. Most of the movie is setting up how the characters get their powers, so when they finally do, there’s only about half an hour left. Because of this, most of the movie simply leads to a rushed climax. They also completely botched up Doctor Doom (in both character and design). Should've won: Fantastic Four
- DirectorPeter SasdyStarsPia ZadoraLloyd BochnerBibi BeschHoping to achieve success in Hollywood, a young aspiring screenwriter allows others to exploit her. She goes through affair after sordid affair in her attempt to write her own screenplay and have it produced.Pia Zadora (of Santa Claus Conquers the Martians fame) plays a high school student who attempts to become a screenwriter but is forced to have sex with abusive men in the business to reach the top. Despite being a commentary on abuse women face in the business, the film is all too comfortable showing Zadora’s boobs when given the chance, even when her character is underage. Also, rest in peace to the typewriter she viciously smashes during the film’s best scene. Should've won: The Lonely Lady
- DirectorPitofStarsHalle BerrySharon StoneBenjamin BrattA shy woman, endowed with the speed, reflexes, and senses of a cat, walks a thin line between criminal and hero, even as a detective doggedly pursues her, fascinated by both of her personas.Halle Berry plays the DC character and gives a very lackluster performance in this superhero flop. The dialogue is cheesy, and the editing and visuals are amateurish. There’s also this random basketball scene where Berry twerks. I get that it's meant to show off her new cat powers but when’s the last time you saw a cat twerk? I have two cats and the only time they twerk is when they’re running from my dog Kya. Should've won: Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2
- DirectorTom HooperStarsJames CordenJudi DenchJason DeruloA tribe of cats called the Jellicles must decide yearly which one will ascend to the Heaviside Layer and come back to a new Jellicle life.Two movies about cats in a row. Based off of the popular Broadway musical, Cats received a lot of hate for its ugly CGI. Indeed, it looks ugly. The cats look like humans with fur, and there are several glitches in the animation that had to be patched out. The story is also repetitive, as all that really happens is one cat shows up, they do a musical number, another cat shows up, they do a musical number, another cat shows up, they do a musical… I think you get the point. Should've won: Cats or Loqueesha (not nominated)
- DirectorGuy RitchieStarsMadonnaAdriano GianniniBruce GreenwoodA snooty socialite is stranded on a Mediterranean island with a communist sailor.Madonna gives arguably her worst acting performance in this seawreck. The two leads constantly bicker and abuse each other throughout most of the film, but then they fall in love for some reason. It’s no wonder this film “swept” the Razzies. Should've won: Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever (not nominated) or Swept Away
- DirectorPaul VerhoevenStarsElizabeth BerkleyKyle MacLachlanGina GershonA mysterious young drifter who calls herself Nomi Malone hitches a ride to Las Vegas, Nevada, and begins working as a strip club dancer, and sets about clawing her way to the top of the Vegas showgirls.The director was clearly from “different places” when he made this erotic drama about a girl who seemingly has a mental illness that forces her to overreact during any action, including squirting ketchup. It’s also possible she’s part dolphin as evident by how she flops around like a fish during one of the film's sex scenes. Should've won: It's Pat
