Date movie.
It has alisonhannigan in and we thought it might be light hearted
It was dire. Utter crap. And I have a high threshold for crap, can watch most rubbish as long as its entertaining

Sat through Jupiter Rising last night. Wooden acting, (even from decent actors like Eddie Redmayne) daft dialogue, improbable plot even for a SciFi type movie and Mila Kunis was an appalling lead who failed on every level.
Embarrassingly, I loved Ghost of Girlfriends Past. Proper twaddle that would have made Dickens throw up but I liked it.

I hated La la Land. Tried three times to watch it and decided I would rather clean my toilet.

gingergenius · 04/03/2018 21:54

An I the only one settling down for a 'shit film' Netflix binge?

Many years ago I went on a first date to watch The Killing Fields at the cinema. Being only about 15 at the time it went right over my head and I was dreadfully bored. I fell asleep on the boys shoulder and dribbled on his lovely tan suede jacket.
Needless to say he didn't ask me out again!

Yes, the Lobster is truly awful !! Somehow managed to sit through it... because I'm obsessed with Colin Farrell

DwangelaForever · 04/03/2018 21:54

That film with Megan Fox in it, Jennifer's body. Now that was horrendous

I'm one of the people who didn't actually mind Jupiter Ascending 😂🙈

NotExactlyHappyToHelp · 04/03/2018 21:55

Agree with the PP who nominated Phantom Of The Opera. Utter fucking toss.

The Revenant comes a very close second. Went to the cinema to see it and god it was dire. I felt robbed of all joy. I got out and googled pictures of kittens just to remind myself there was happiness in the world.

gingergenius · 04/03/2018 21:57

An old one, but utterly bizarre, starring Julian Sands: Boxing Helena. Totally batshit.

CotswoldStrife · 04/03/2018 21:57

Smurfs 2. Dire.

CherryChasingDotMuncher · 04/03/2018 21:57

YY Andy how La La Land won so many OSCARs I'll never know. Nothing happens in it, and the characters are so vapid a flat. I don't think the music or singing/dancing was that great either. Do these Academy Award judges get paid off or something?

Pixelpuffin · 04/03/2018 21:58

angieloumc - I thought Killing Fields was brilliant.

Blushingm · 04/03/2018 21:59

Anything with a hobbit in is shite

Toddlerteaplease · 04/03/2018 22:00

The worst film ever, is 'My own private Idaho' 2 hours of my life I'll never get back.

Vicky1990 · 04/03/2018 22:01

By far The worst film I have ever seen was Dunkirk, do not pay good money to watch this load of rubbish, there is not one good thing about this film except The end.

alittlehelp · 04/03/2018 22:02

Love Actually.

Blushingm · 04/03/2018 22:02

I love my own private Idaho

squoosh · 04/03/2018 22:02

OP is this the film where there's a 'funny' scene where they beat up a homeless person? I'm not exaggerating when I say I've rarely been more shocked by a film scene in my life. I thought it was going to be some lighthearted nonsense and then that scene totally stopped me in my tracks!

YANBU.

MoonriseKingdom · 04/03/2018 22:03

Most recently terrible for me was ‘Mother!’. I like weird (actually quite liked The Lobster) I love Antonio Banderas so I had high expectations. It was a strange mix of horrifying yet boring.

chocolateworshipper · 04/03/2018 22:03

Hostel. I love horror films, but that was some sick shit.

Mightybanhammer · 04/03/2018 22:03

Black Swan. Without a doubt. Crass rubbish.

Peanutbuttercups21 · 04/03/2018 22:04

A lot of films,I like have been mentioned: bridesmaids, black swan, date night must have bad taste!

Movies with hobits are my least favourite

squoosh · 04/03/2018 22:04

Did Darren Aronofsky direct Mother? I think all his films are pretentious tripe.

alpacawhacker · 04/03/2018 22:04

The Mothman Prophecies. Just, no. Incomprehensible twaddle.

RachelRosie · 04/03/2018 22:04

So pleased to find others who hated Bridesmaids. I knew I couldn't be the only one!

Only film I have ever walked out of was Identity Thief... It was dire!

Whilst, I didn't hate it, I agree La La Land was massively overrated and I was so disappointed as I really wanted to like it

myusernameisnotmyusername · 04/03/2018 22:04

Well it has 7% on rotten tomatoes so I guess it is shite! The Babysitter is one of the worst films I've seen in recent times!
