OMG how could I forget that GAWD AWFUL piece of rubbish Prom Night? Just once can a black girl live in the damn movie? Of course we're there for comic relief, snappy comebacks and quips...but just once could we make it to the closing credits?!

I enjoyed the eye candy, but that's about it.
What about Beverly Hills Chihuahua?
I didn't see it, but I heard it was pretty bad.

Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra
Salve, Salve Regina
Ad te clamamus exsules filii Eva
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes

I'm adding Righteous Kill to the list, too.

Posted: 2/1/09 at 1:50amI'm pretty sure this was 2008, 88 Minutes is possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. The Happening was also pretty poor. I didn't really care for Rachel Getting Married, but there are definitely worse movies this year. Oh, and Hamlet 2 was awful.

I liked Rachel Getting Married. Reminded me (somewhat) of some of my own family's OTT get togethers. I agree tho, that all the music sequences thru the wedding were interminable.
(oh an my Al-Anon blackbelts said the basic premise was fake- no one in a residential 12 step program would be allowed a weekend pass-esp w/o supervison- when they are so far from completing the program.)

I couldn't possibly list what I thought was bad.
Let's put it this way, I can count those that I actually enjoyed on one hand - and have fingers left over.

Posted: 2/1/09 at 10:24amI just saw Mamma Mia... well, about half of it. I had to stop watching it after about an hour. I was getting a headache from all of the forced 'glee.' Not one of the worst movies I've EVER seen, but one of the worst I've seen this year-- plus, I've never actually seen the stage musical, so I can't say if I think it's better or worse.

Redundant:The Day the Earth Stood Still
Not Redundant (but we're all thinking it):High School Musical 3.I refused to pay to see it;I sent my sister in to tell me what happens to Ryan

Posted: 2/1/09 at 12:46pmI liked HSM3. I have no idea why, since I didn't like Mamma Mia and I generally hate pop-style music and I really dislike most of the cast. I thought the choreography and costumes were great.
#39re: At the Movies: Worst of the Year
Posted: 2/1/09 at 12:49pm(off-topic) I liked the first and the second (I didn't think I'd like the second but was forced to watch it in chorus until I enjoyed it) Although Ryan is really the only character I care about.

Posted: 2/1/09 at 12:53pmMy son loves the HSM movies. 'course he's 5, and thinks they're all real people.

Posted: 2/1/09 at 12:59pmRACHEL GETTING MARRIED was exquisite. I don't know who Mankiewicz is, but I can't take him seriously if he honestly thought it was one of the year's worst movies.

I have to agree with Taz on Prom Night and Hamlet 2. Awful, both of them. Mamma Mia! was pretty painful, as well.
Side note: HSM3 was actually not that bad. I'm not remotely their target audience, and I think the first two are tragic, but this one actually had some genuinely...dare I say it...cool moments.

Wow. I was watching Rachel Getting Married on a screener and after about half hour I shut off the machine and chose another film. It wasn't my night, because then I tried to watch Mamma Mia!
