Worst Movie You Ever Paid to See

Mine has to be the infamous Rob Reiner film "North," one of Roger Ebert's most hated movies. I was on a date in high school.

Dishonorable mentions:
Toys
First Knight
The Postman
Vanilla Sky

 

Love Actually
Superbad

 

Ernest Goes to Camp.

Chose it over Beverly Hills Cop 2

-30-

 

Signs

 

The Punisher. This was the one with Thomas Jane in the title role. Mrs. OOP and I nearly walked out.

 

Monuments men

 

^ That movie was a complete pile of dung.

-The Crush (1993)
-Knowing (2009)
-300 (2007)

 

Paranormal Activity.

 

Spaceballs.

Somehow people have come to view it as a classic. I went with a buddy and we were both huge Mel Brooks fans. After an hour I was begging him to leave and he kept saying "It's got to get funny at some point."

Spoiler: it didn't.

Honorable mention to the original Red Dawn. It was part of a double bill at a drive-in and we bailed midway through.

 

So you said "Check please!"

*I went because my best gay boyfriend had a crush on Jeff Goldblum. Everyone onscreen looked like they wished they were somewhere else. I kept waiting for it to get better. It never did.
** I went with my priest to see The Last Temptation of Christ. There was a poster for this abomination. We thought it would be campy fun. No.
*** I took my friend's mother who loved her some Keanu. When he cried, I was ready to join him.
**** This is what happens when you share custody of a small child (my nephew) in the 90s.
***** This is what happens when you share custody of a small child (my nephew) in the 90s. Note: I made the mistake of telling him Obi-Wan Kenobi and Qi Gong Badoobiedoobie were pretty and made me happy. He made sure that I was only taking him to the second movie because it was the greatest thing EVAR! I could not go just to look at boys.
****** This is what happens when you share custody of a small child (my nephew) in the 90s. The couple next to me offered to share their blunt with me when they realized I was yet another adult trapped in what was a two-hour toy commercial. Nothing against it or anyone who does it, but I'm weird enough without engaging in recreational chemical impairment. I am still haunted by how much trauma I could have spared myself if I'd gone that one toke over the line.
