The Movie Sucked, But Not Because Of....

[kostgard]

The Girl Next Door sucked, but not because of Timothy Olyphant. The movie itself was basically your standard "redeem a helpless whore" sexist sludge, but TO was freaking hilarious as awesomely crazy porn director Kelly.

I completely agree - this movie was just plain awful. In fact when I rented it, the DVD screwed up and the screen went completely white and I didn't notice for like 20 minutes because I'd gotten up to do something else.

I didn't care about the main "couple" at all, and the premise was incredibly stupid. However, TO was pretty darn funny. He and Chris Marquette, who played one of the main character's best friends, were the only things that didn't suck.

I'll also second just about every movie on poor Hugh Jackman's resume. I'd also like to add Harold Perrineau Jr. (Michael on "Lost") turned in a great performance as a drag queen and Penelope Cruz's best friend in a crapfest called Woman on Top - a movie that was a total rip-off of "Like Water for Chocolate" but Harold was great in it.

The Forgotten sucked, but not because of Julianne Moore. The only decent thing about the movie was her performance...I thought she played the whole distraught mother thing well. Too bad the movie was one of the worse ever.

I will second that. I saw that movie flying back home and it's the biggest piece of shit I've seen in a while. So many plot-holes, it's astounding.

Saw The Skeleton Key the other day and that was some of the suckiest suck that ever sucked, but that wasn't Peter Sarsgaard's, Gena Rowland's or John Hurt's fault.

My poor Tommy Lee Jones in that clunker Of Heaven and Earth. Gorgeous cinematography, and his first movie after his Oscar winning turn in The Fugitive. Way too long, a snoozer of a story, but he was brilliant in it anyway.

This is something of a radical opinion, but: Radio sucked-sucked-sucked, but not because of Cuba Gooding Jr. His performance is just fine, and actually pretty good in places. But the script, Jesus, the script!

<b> Crossroads </b> sucked not because of...Taryn Manning. She's got the trashy parts down pat by now. However, she actually tried to have Kit be a person rather than a stereotype.

Jason Schwartzmann, Lily Tomlin and Shania Twain made <b> I Heart Huckabees </b> watchable. Twain. Jude Law and Naomi Watts decided to act with their looks while Dustin Hoffmann phoned it in.

Punch Drunk Love, but not because of Philip Seymour Hoffman. This movie has to be up there with Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever as the worst movie ever made in the history of all mankind, but Philip Seymour Hoffman bit the bullet and turned in his usual inspired performance.

Whoa, I don't even remember him being in that. I did HATE it, though.

This may be an unpopular opinion: The Mexican sucked, but not because of Brad Pitt.

He was the crazed mattress salesman/con ringleader.
(Saw it a few months ago. Was not impressed, but have seen far worse. Kingdom of Heaven, for example.)

And not because of Edward Norton and Jeremy Irons.

Or Liam Neeson, IMO.
