I have just watched the worst film

It's on Netflix and it's called A Simple Favour

Anna Kendrick plays "Mom Stereotype"

Blake Lively plays "Mysterious Woman Stereotype"

Henry Golding plays "Wooden Husband"

Appalling dialogue and acting

Weird incest subplot

Recommended for purposes of mockery.

Ignore the above ^ it has not just started, there was a blip in my tv guide (no wonder I thought it was going to be good, with so much action going on at the start of the film - it was because it was nearing the end lol)

Just started watching Christmas Inheritance on Netflix if anyone fancies a different crap film? It features Andie MacDowell who delivered one of the worst lines in movie history in Four Weddings and a Funeral. My excuse is that I'm doing some work in front of it so not really watching 🤣

Whatthefunk · 30/11/2019 19:58

I can see, I'll have to risk the Irishman......Possibly dying, half way through.....

DesMartinsPetCat · 30/11/2019 21:36

OP, I’ve started A Simple Favour on your recommendation. I love a bad film.

It’s awful. The “plot” is just ridiculous.

VanyaHargreeves · 30/11/2019 22:37

Happy to oblige Grin

Haven't read the whole thread but has anyone mentioned Raging Bull? Dear God there's an eternity I'll never get back...

AfterSchoolWorry · 30/11/2019 23:31

The worst one I've seen lately was 'Victoria and Abdul' on Netflix. It was painfully shit. I tried that's, watched about 3/4 of it, but one of those where even having invested that much time I just couldn't take any more. It was tripe.

DesMartinsPetCat · 30/11/2019 23:39

Ok, I’ve finished A Simple Favour. The acting was shite, the script awful, and the plot woeful, but it’s not the worst thing I’ve ever seen. I think it got lost between being a thrilled and a comedy. If it had been solely a thriller, it wouldn’t have been that bad.

The best worst film is Troll 2.

SinisterBumFacedCat · 30/11/2019 23:51

There’s loads of films I like on here...Blush

Notting Hill for me was awful, unfunny, characters were all carbon copies of Four Weddings and Julia Roberts was like a fucking LOG!

Also thought Spectre was pretty bad, trying to be Skyfall, only without the plot or a genuinely terrifying villain.

Cattenberg · 30/11/2019 23:56

260 posts and no one has mentioned Moulin Rouge! It had a fascinating setting and great sets and costumes, but Baz Luhrmann tried to be too clever and reinvent the musical, or something. The result was an unfunny, nonsensical mess. So frustrating.

VanyaHargreeves · 01/12/2019 00:01

I bloody love Moulin Rouge, its only misstep is the bit at the beginning

I try and avoid films that look shit so its very annoying when I get caught out

A Wrinkle in Time (Disney). DD was desperate to watch it. God it was utter drivel.
I agree with Pulp Fiction. Only watched about an hour, got bored.
The Matrix. See Pulp Fiction.
Some shite with this hair things with faces that come out of the sand and basically go into people's bodies and kill them so they have try and stay off the sand and they're trapped. Truely dire.

Whatthefunk · 01/12/2019 11:50

We started The Irishman, last night and it really good, but only managed 1.5 hours....We're going to plough on tonight Grin

MitziK · 01/12/2019 17:45

We're about to sit down with Sunday Dinner and Santa Claws.

Wish me luck.

JolieOBrien · 01/12/2019 18:24

I am sick of all the Christmas films at the moment which are American and all fluffy and show a perfick Christmas.

GoGoLego · 01/12/2019 18:46

I was in a proper festive mode last night I watched a Christmas movie on Netflix called "Miss me this Christmas" OMG how on earth i stayed awake through it is beyond me. It's awful especially the lead woman's acting. And her playing drunk is just wow 😮.

There looks to be a sequel which I kinda wanna watch to see if you can make a sequel just as bad and also to see if the very good looking lead guy is in it again

JolieOBrien · 01/12/2019 18:49

@GoGoLego

This?

GoGoLego · 01/12/2019 18:55

@JolieOBrien yes that's the one

JolieOBrien · 01/12/2019 19:04

I enjoyed this which I watched last year

SomewhereInbetween1 · 01/12/2019 20:04

Has anyone mentioned Event Horizon yet?

BingoLittlesUncle · 01/12/2019 20:40

You are probably all too young to remember the unmitigated crap that was 633 Squadron. Be thankful for that.

TheCanterburyWhales · 01/12/2019 21:02

But can you remember Boxing Helena?
So bad it was bad Grin
I started the Irishman last night but fell asleep not liking the strangely badly done (for the budget) superimposing of their young heads. You could see the joins iyswim. Shoddy.

Mysterian · 01/12/2019 22:38

Starcrash. David Hasselhoff acts everybody else off the screen. Terrible sci-fi effects. Blatant copy of Starwars complete with "laser swords". Ridiculous plot holes: The baddie's huge weapon as big as a planet gets blown up by the baddie in order to kill the 3 goodies captured on it! The heroine, Stella Star, in prison uniform of bikini and high heeled boots throws huge balls of radium into the nuclear reactor. Good soldiers crash through bad guy's space ship's windows leaving huge holes but everybody can still breathe. And at the end the universe is saved by using something that hasn't been mentioned up to that point.

I LOVE it!!! Grin

MitziK · 01/12/2019 22:39

Santa Claws was shit, but only in the cheap Christmas film for kids type of shit. As it's an Asylum movie, I was hoping for far more shitness.

Grumpasaurus · 01/12/2019 22:54

The Mist was truly, truly awful.

I walked out of Mamma Mia- absolute shite.

I also hated Maid in Manhattan.
