Love Actually, for the wooden dick van dyke school of acting (barring Liam Neeson and Bill Nighy), and for the unforgiveable use of the word "spaz" in it.

Intolerable Cruelty for the utter lack of chemistry between CZJ and Clooney and awful Home Alone stylee gurning of Clooney and sidekick. Horribly disappointing.

Angeliz · 26/03/2004 18:24

Oh no Lou.........i've been dying to see that!!

Vanilla Sky cause it gave me a headache!!!

spacemonkey · 26/03/2004 18:25

Solaris - ear bleedingly dull, despite droolsome presence of Clooney

Angeliz · 26/03/2004 18:27

God Almighty - can't believe we bothered to pay to watch it on Box Office.

AI:Artificial Intelligence

most romantic comedies.

Oh Angeliz, am with you with Vanilla Sky. What was that about? One we gave up with.

Liked Vanilla Sky, but Donnie Darko left me utterly bewildered!

CountessDracula · 26/03/2004 19:05

Am about to watch In the cut tonight

Grommit · 26/03/2004 19:06

Chicago - absolutely mind-numbingly boring - CZJ leaping around like a carthorse

Grommit · 26/03/2004 19:07

Extraordinary League of Gentleman - got this on DVD last week - unbelievably bad

kiwisbird · 26/03/2004 19:19

Sweet Home Alabama - pay per view, looked sweet romantic piffle, it was actually MUCH worse

spacemonkey · 26/03/2004 19:19

I found Confessions of a Dangerous Mind quite disappointing

CountessDracula · 26/03/2004 19:22

Second AI - appalling despite Jude Phoarr

Tinker · 26/03/2004 19:23

Pretty Woman

JennH · 26/03/2004 19:47

Don't Say a Word, incredibly diappointing.

Final Destination 2.

spacemonkey · 26/03/2004 20:15

A Beautiful Mind - sentimental tosh

Tinker · 26/03/2004 20:17

Oh, thank you spacemonkey, was trying to remember the name of that! Oh and Gangs of New York - turned off after first 20 minutes it was so awful.

How could I forget - Moulin Rouge

Oh, and Chicago.

With spacemonkey on Solaris - thought I could watch George Clooney in anything. I was wrong.

Identity. Likewise thought I could watch John Cusack in anything - this was like an 80s Made for TV movie. Absolute tosh.

American Beauty. Am I the only person in the world who hated this?

And Love Actually for the reasons detailed by lou. Have found myself, particularly after seeing a picture of Lou's beautiful son, who has CP, wanting to kick over the displays of this film in shops.

marthamoo · 26/03/2004 20:23

Yeah, sm, Donny Darko...what WAS that about?

spacemonkey · 26/03/2004 20:24

Yes, I am boycotting Love Actually too for same reason. RC films are mawkish shite anyway.

Loved American Beauty and thoroughly enjoyed Identity too although it wouldn't make it into my top films list!

Spacemonkey you are not busy you are on MN
