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.

Love Actually

I watched that this week @CanIGoHomeNowPlease, it's so lacking in the wit and charisma and chemistry of the real Mummy. I topped that off by watching Tom Cruise in the second Jack Reacher film, that was pretty shite too. He was very lacking in the required physical presence of Jack Reacher.

Hot tub time machine

That’s all i have to say

Left behind

With Nicholas Cage. Awful

JolieOBrien · 29/11/2019 20:36

Captain Corelli's Mandolin .. read the book and loved it watched the film and hated it. Nicholas Cage is the the worst actor and his accent was terrible.

I really HATED Bridesmaids and cannot understand why people see it as a film that is great about women - it just seems like such a cliched idea of what women and our friendships are.

VanyaHargreeves · 29/11/2019 20:37

I have seen Captain Corelli, blanked modt of it out

Catwoman.
With Halle Berry.
She even licked her hand like a paw in it Confused

CanIGoHomeNowPlease · 29/11/2019 21:00

@Disfordarkchocolate ahh my DH and I were just talking about how Tom Cruise has fucked up two franchises. I love the Jack Reacher books but the films are proper shite

Timmytoo · 29/11/2019 21:03

Nobody has watched the worst film unless you've seen Headless. I've got nothing more to say...

Ghoulestofmums · 29/11/2019 21:10

Kill Bill - it’s just sick. To DH - no it isn’t great art house or some such twaddle

IHaveBrilloHair · 29/11/2019 21:43

@MatildeHidalgo.
I watched Adore too.
WTF?
It was just weirdConfused

Chesntoots · 29/11/2019 21:44

The Shape of Water.... I'm just going to leave that here. There is nothing more to say...

Aldilogue · 29/11/2019 21:46

zemblanity I think I may be one of the two people in the world that like vanilla sky.
I’m not even sure why but it’s so unusual I always watch it 🤷‍♀️

LittleTopic · 29/11/2019 21:47

I will happily watch anything with Henry Golding in it.

Sex and the City 2 is the worst film ever made, ever. And I will die on this hill.

Figgygal · 29/11/2019 21:56

Oh god yes sex and the city 2
Horrifying

SleepingStandingUp · 29/11/2019 22:03

Has anyone mentioned Notes in a Scandal? We did watch to the end, twas awful tho

IHaveBrilloHair · 29/11/2019 22:04

I've almost blocked SATC2 out, it was just embarrassing.

Artesia · 29/11/2019 22:05

Take this as a warning- don’t make the mistake I did and watch Holiday in the Wild, a Netflix Christmas romance staring Charlotte from Sex in the City and Rob Lowe. I don’t think I need elaborate.....

IHaveBrilloHair · 29/11/2019 22:05

I quite liked Notes on a Scandal!

VanyaHargreeves · 29/11/2019 22:22

@Chesntoots

Utter Emperors New Clothes GARBAGE isn't it?

Thank fuck for that - I thought it was just me!!

I LOVED A Simple Favour and Last Christmas Grin

IlsSortLaPlupartAuNuitMostly · 29/11/2019 22:29

I loved Dark City, Hellboy 2 and Lady Ghostbusters. I very rarely find myself watching a film I hate because a) I’m easily pleased and b) I read all the reviews first and am a pretty good judge of what I (and each member of my family) am going to like.

However I found myself with time to spare while doing the ironing recently and started watching Red Sea Diving Resort because a) Captain America in swimming trunks b) I was sure I’d read good stuff about it.

Half an hour in I was thinking “why did anyone say this shit was good?” and I went back to google the reviews. Turns out I’d read some articles about the fascinating real life story published to tie in with the story but not the actual reviews - which were shit.
