* ''Film/TheGrudge'' franchise might not be everybody's favorite horror series, but the 2004 remake has its fans despite arguments over whether or not it's as good as the original Japanese movie. The same cannot be said for its allegedly soft reboot, '''''Film/TheGrudge2020'''''. The film supposedly is a sidequel that takes place in between the events of the first film and its sequel, but makes so many contradictions in the movies' already confusing timelines that overcomplicate them even further. The film jumps around between multiple timelines and is so poor at communicating basic information to the audience, and the filmmaking style tries very hard to be cool but only ends up looking obnoxious. When the film isn't padded out with annoyingly predictable [[JumpScare jump scares]], it tries to ape infamous moments and storytelling techniques from the first film (the film even tries to explain why a little girl ''has a nose bleed''). Top that off with probably one of the most aggravating and obnoxious [[NoEnding endings]] to a horror movie in recent memory and you have one transparent failed attempt at reviving a horror franchise that should have stayed dead. Watch WebVideo/YourMovieSucksDotOrg's hilarious review of the movie [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mHeveAKkjMo here]], where he jokingly calls it "the best movie of the decade", while adding that it's "[[DamnedByFaintPraise the only movie I've seen this decade, so don't expect that to stick for long]]" (the film came out in the first weekend of 2020). [=CorderyFX=] rips into the film [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fj-jJtC0mMI&t here]], and LetsPlay/{{Critikal}} skips his usual Moist Meter review to go off on a rant about it [[https://youtu.be/xNWZe7X7RfU here]], where he also admits to feeling horrible for making his friend visiting from Australia see it with him.

* '''''Film/MrMagoo''''' was a 1997 film adaptation (or abomination) of ''WesternAnimation/MrMagoo''. The movie involves Magoo (played by Creator/LeslieNielsen) being mistaken for an international jewel thief and getting chased around the world by the authorities and said jewel thieves. All of this takes a backseat to [[ItsTheSameSoItSucks tired slapstick gags]] long ago run into the ground by not just the source material, but other films in that genre from that era. Magoo's {{Flanderization}} into an oblivious, nigh-on ScatterbrainedSenior didn't do it any favors either, as it resulted in heavy backlash from blindness awareness groups. And speaking of insensitivity, the film casts Creator/JenniferGarner as a vaguely South Asian woman named Stacey Sampanahodrita, and has Agent Chuck Stupak (Stephen Tobolowsky) dress up in '''''[[Brownface brownface makeup]]''''' and a turban to look like an Indian. The only redeemable things about this movie were the surprisingly catchy music score by Mike Tavera and some brief animated segments that illustrate the film's sheer waste of potential. The backlash ultimately resulted in the movie being pulled from theaters after only a few weeks and becoming [[BoxOfficeBomb a financial failure]] for Creator/{{Disney}}, only so much as being mentioned again via Disney+. The movie received absolutely scathing reviews (an abysmal 18% on Metacritic and a 7%[=/=]24% critic/audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes), and the career of its director, Stanley Tong, [[CreatorKiller crashed and burned]]. This all but killed Mr. Magoo, with only the obscure 2010 movie ''Kung-Fu Magoo'' and [[WesternAnimation/MrMagoo2019 a very loose TV adaptation]] in the decade since. Siskel and Ebert both gave the film two thumbs down, and Ebert called it "transcendently bad" in [[https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/mr-magoo-1997 a separate review]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7x_EJwOOK2E Doug Walker]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NGJ7LHrY3E AniMat]] were no kinder.

* '''''My Big Fat Independent Movie''''', a 2005 Creator/SeltzerAndFriedberg-esque movie featuring parodies of independent movies such as ''Film/{{Clerks}}'', ''Film/{{Swingers}}'', and ''Film/MyBigFatGreekWedding''. Perhaps it may have had some potential if done [[AffectionateParody with undertones of love to the original work]], but instead it's just a [[ShallowParody shallow mess]] that attempts to [[DeconstructiveParody deconstruct]] the movies shown even though there's barely anything wrong with them. It earned major internet backlash when it was first released because of this concept, and was singled out for the fact that most mainstream filmgoers would only get a handful of the movie references featured. And then everything went FromBadToWorse when the reviewing publication ''Film Threat'', who co-produced the film alongside Anchor Bay, gave it a highly positive review and [[http://www.filmthreat.com/reviews/8195/ called anybody who hated the movie an idiot]]. The script and acting in the final result are downright awful, and the film [[RRatedOpening opens with a scene involving]] [[DoubleStandardRapeMaleOnMale man-on-man molestation]]. The film was a BoxOfficeBomb, earning only $4,655 out of its ''$3 million'' budget, and has since fallen into obscurity. It received the "BOMB" (1 star out of 4) rating from Creator/LeonardMaltin, who called it "unfunny, self-indulgent, and a struggle to watch." The film posters are even worse, taking incredibly mean-spirited shots at the movies being parodied, advertising the movie as something for "everyone who wanted to slap [[Film/{{Amelie}} that sweet French girl]]" to see, and going forth to say that "some of you may not be cool enough to laugh at this movie."

* [[MerchandiseDriven Based on]] [[Franchise/GarbagePailKids a brand of trading cards and stickers]], '''''Film/TheGarbagePailKidsMovie''''' was clumsily rewritten from a horror movie to a family film mid-production. As a result, it's tonally inconsistent, bobbing and weaving between graphic juvenalia and unsettling creepiness. The costumes are cheap and the characters are cheaper (Nat Nerd wetting himself is a RunningGag), and they're cast so poorly that it begs suspension of disbelief. Of note, there's a bizarre inversion of DawsonCasting[[note]]Mackenzie Astin was fifteen, but looked twelve. Katie Barberi was sixteen, but looks college-aged.[[/note]] which makes the romance between Dodger and Tangerine outright uncomfortable. The State Home for the Ugly alone [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot raises a dozen questions]] [[PlotHole the story never attempts to answer]], and turns the leads into {{designated hero}}es. And it's just one of many such elements, not least of all the characters' attidudes towards the Kids themselves, that take a backseat to wall-to-wall gross-out and ToiletHumour--including a climax consisting of nonstop farting and vomiting. Creator/{{Jim Cummings|1952}}, who voiced two of the Garbage Pail Kids, [[CreatorBacklash hated this film so much he personally got it taken out of theaters]]. Creator/AnthonyNewley's once-illustrious acting career was [[StarDerailingRole all TV shows from here on out.]] Creator/LeonardMaltin, in his review, argued that the garbage pail the kids live in is "where they are destined to be joined by the negative of this movie". Creator/DougWalker named this movie as [[http://channelawesome.com/the-worst-movies-nostalgia-critics-reviewed/ the worst he ever saw]], let alone [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6WVjZ7DENw reviewed]] as WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic, and the only one that he has never heard an argument for. WebVideo/IHateEverything was confounded by the pure meanspiritedness of the film. They couldn't even find a blurb to twist as positive for the DVD case, instead using words like "vile", "rude", "smelly", "ugly", and "gross".

* While the works of Creator/DerekSavage (of ''Film/CoolCatSavesTheKids'' fame) are typically regarded as SoBadItsGood, even many who enjoyed his other works found '''''Gun Self-Defense for Women'''''[[note]]Also released as ''Gun Self-Defense for Ladies'' and ''Self-Defense for All''[[/note]] to be unwatchable. The film tackles a very serious topic with little respect and nuance, full of bad acting, SpecialEffectsFailure, and an odd sexualization of guns. [[DontShootTheMessage Any meaningful advice is drowned out]] by Derek Savage plugging ''Cool Cat Saves the Kids'' merchandise and random footage of him recklessly shooting stuff in an attempt to make himself look like a badass while [[BrokenAesop simultaneously defying the film's messages about gun safety]]. All this and more earned the film [[https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4780902/ a 2.8 on IMDB]].

* In 1996, Creator/EllenDeGeneres made her film debut in a romantic "black" comedy called '''''Mr. Wrong'''''. This flick revolves around Martha Alston ([=DeGeneres=]) who falls head over heels for a man named Whitman Crawford (Creator/BillPullman), who she thinks is "Mr. Right". However, her dreams are crushed when she realizes that Whitman is actually [[TheSociopath a sociopath whose erratic behavior comes to destroy her life]]. Needless to say, it's all downhill from there. For starters, Ellen and Bill [[NoSparks have no romantic chemistry whatsoever]], and every joke comes is painful and wretched. The dialogue is bizarre, the loud trumpet music gets old way too fast, and everything else is just tedious and pitiful. It's got a rancid 7% on Rotten Tomatoes, a poor 3.8 on IMDB. Ellen [=DeGeneres=] herself would later throw shade at it on The Ellen [=DeGeneres=] Show. [[https://web.archive.org/web/20070103153105/http://theenvelope.latimes.com/extras/lostmind/year/1996/1996st.htm The Hastings Bad Cinema Society Stinkers Awards]] would later nominate Ellen for Worst Actress for her role in the movie and also win her the award (without competition) for Biggest Acting Stretch (for Ellen playing a heterosexual woman). Allison Pregler [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tD5SuSZnv7k does a very good job summarizing everything "wrong" with Mr. Wrong]].

* '''''Film/{{Loqueesha}}''''' is a comedy, so to speak, [[CopiouslyCreditedCreator written, produced, directed by, and also starring]] Jeremy Saville. Saville plays a down-on-his-luck, divorced, white bartender who, in order to cover his son's tuition, becomes a radio host impersonating the titular SassyBlackWoman he invented of course becoming a nationally-syndicated sensation. Do you really even need to go further after reading that? The premise apparently attempts to go two-for-two by not only being racist but also misogynistic (with some transphobia thrown into the mix as well). A film like this probably wouldn't have even flown in TheSeventies, never mind in 2019. Groundbreaking concept aside, the direction is about stale as a sawdust smoothie and takes the gold in being impossibly unfunny. Needless to say, it has earned its zero percent on Website/RottenTomatoes. Creator/BradJones (who would later rank ''Loqueesha'' as one of the worst movies of 2019) and his wife [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xw09-MGquFk spent quite some time discussing it]]. [=MacDoesIt=], a gay black man, also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvs3fJ9z06g highlights the faults of the film himself.]]

* '''''Film/{{Jem and the Holograms|2015}}''''' gave a whole new meaning to InNameOnly. Ditching campy fun for an ostensibly realistic critique of the music industry, the end result is instead a ClicheStorm borrowing from nearly every rock-star franchise ''but'' its namesake. We say "ostensibly" because almost every beat is a nonsensical ContrivedCoincidence. The acting is uniformly terrible, in [[LargeHam both]] [[DullSurprise extremes]]. The film also makes several unfitting changes to the characters, with Synergy being similar to [[Franchise/StarWars R2-D2]] rather than being a computer, Eric Raymond being {{gender flip}}ped, and the Misfits (including Music/{{Kesha}} as Pizazz, one of the few positive elements of the film) reduced to an unanswered SequelHook. In addition, the film features supposed clips of fans praising the movie, [[Horrible/{{Advertising}} which are actually edited clips of fans praising the original show]].[[note]]This extends to the film claiming to feature Creator/ChrisPratt and Wrestling/DwayneJohnson when they don't actually star in the film, instead only been featured in slightly edited archived footage that is irrelevant to ''Jem''; Johnson talking about the song "Bad Blood" by Music/TaylorSwift is made to look as if he's talking about "''Young'' Blood" from this movie, while Pratt jokes about having dated Jem in the past from an interview where he actually talked about pretending to date his sister's Jem dolls, which raises some questions since Jem is a teenager and Pratt is several years older.[[/note]] [[NoBudget The movie only had a budget of $5 million]], and [[http://finance.yahoo.com/news/movie-did-terribly-universal-pulling-190338176.html in all the fourteen days it was in theaters,]] couldn't make half of it back. Several online film critics took it to task, including [[https://youtu.be/23Bo2wwip_w RebelTaxi]], [[https://youtu.be/DToJv1oAyPc Cinematic Excrement]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XfdeyS6Ukg0 Andre the Black Nerd]], and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tmKNZajsxu8 Brad Jones (as part of Midnight Screenings)]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTUef3vICqE The Nostalgia Critic]] admitted that, even though he was never a fan, the movie still felt like an insult.

* '''''Film/{{Getaway}}''''' is a stillborn attempt at combining the racing and thriller genres. The film focuses on former racer Brent Magna (Creator/EthanHawke), whose wife has been kidnapped by a mysterious villain called "The Voice" (Creator/JonVoight). As Brent follows the Voice's instructions, a young woman only known as "The Kid" (Music/SelenaGomez) attempts to carjack him, but is ultimately forced to help Brent save his wife. The movie's pacing is fast. And probably too fast for its own good, as ''Getaway'' features dire directing, incoherent editing, a monotonous plot, insensible dialogue, and horrific acting. The result? A 2% on Website/RottenTomatoes, a 23 on Metacritic, and [[BoxOfficeBomb disastrous box office results]] (it only made $10.5 million worldwide out of its $18 million budget). On top of that, the film's co-producer Dark Castle Entertainment [[CreatorKiller didn't release another film until]] ''Film/{{Suburbicon}}'' four years later - which also bombed horribly. WebVideo/CinematicExcrement tells us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBaFL-7cTeo what he thinks of the film]]. The WebAnimation/{{Spill}} Crew also give their thoughts about the movie [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1cEK2adEVJQ here]], with Leon even declaring the movie's title to be a warning to those wanting to watch the it.

* '''''Game Therapy''''' is an Italian-American co-production focusing on the world of video games, which was good on paper because it was very unusual for an Italian release, but flopped and gained scathing reviews by critics and viewers alike. They bragged about the participation of famous Italian [=YouTubers=] [=FaviJ=] and Federico Clapis, who just ''can't'' act. The plot is [[ClicheStorm trite and predictable]], the acting is stilted, and it focuses more on sexist jokes and outdated pop culture references than on sci-fi and video game-related tropes. It's never explained how the titular Game Therapy works, nor what its goal is. The fight against the BigBad ends with the [[DesignatedHero obnoxious "heroes"]] defeating him with the result of an editing mistake ([=FaviJ=] was incapacitated but somehow freed himself to slay the villain '''without any explanation of how he did it'''). [[BoxOfficeBomb The movie cost 2 million euros to produce, but it only grossed €741,085]] and earned a 1.5/10 score on Website/IMDb. The funniest part? The DVD release of the movie happened only because they got enough likes on a post on the movie's official Facebook page asking people if they wanted it... and most of them were from people who wanted to see the movie reviewed by popular Italian CausticCritic [=MightyPirate=].

* Following the successes of ''Film/TheBluesBrothers'' and ''Film/WaynesWorld'', the producers of ''Series/SaturdayNightLive'' greenlit an interminable series of sketch-based movies of questionable quality. '''''Film/ItsPat''''' stood out as particularly terrible. It, like the skits it's based on, consists primarily of scenes in which the revelation of [[AmbiguousGender Pat's gender]] is [[TheUnreveal set up and then avoided]], with a few scenes of Pat just being irritating to pad the movie to feature-length. It grossed only $60,822, among the lowest totals of any major-studio release. The worst part about ''It's Pat'' (spoilers ahead; you're welcome) is that the movie ''never reveals Pat's gender'' [[note]]the closest thing the film gets to a resolution with this plot is that Pat accidentally flashes his/her privates (facing away from the camera, of course) in front of the audience during a Music/{{Ween}} concert.[[/note]], nor does it even hint at it, thereby negating the entire ''purpose'' of a movie based on a skit whose only purpose is to raise speculation about the character's gender! Without that, it's just a feature-length version of a skit which isn't even all that funny in its short forms. Imagine a [[LockedRoomMystery locked-room murder mystery]] where neither the killer or the method is ever revealed, and the story just... [[NoEnding stops in its tracks]] at some undefined point after about the 60-minute mark. If ''Monster A Go-Go'' is a Dadaist anti-movie, ''It's Pat'' is the cinematic equivalent of Nihilism. Oddly enough, '''Creator/QuentinTarantino''' did uncredited work on the script. You can [[https://www.youtube.com/embed/XyS6Hk0p1iQ learn more about its problems here]] in TwoTakes' "IMDB's Worst 100 Movies" marathon, and from the ''WebVideo/DoubleToasted'' crew's review [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyYaxRX8SnY here]].

* 2001's '''''Film/KeeperOfSouls''''' is so obscure only 219 people have rated it on IMDB, and it ''still'' managed to get only 2.1. It starts off with a simple enough premise of a couple being tormented by a backwoods cult. Unfortunately, the acting is wooden, the sound is barely audible at times, and the editing is incoherent even outside of the nightmare sequences that make up a quarter of the runtime. Despite the OpeningScroll promising a plot about an AncientEvil from the time of the Salem Witch Trials, there is no explanation for motives or personality of the cult that shows up, and the demon they worship never even appears. To add insult to injury, the film's ending resolves absolutely nothing. All in all, it deserves to languish in obscurity.

* While ''Film/KidnappingCaucasianStyle'' is a beloved classic of Russian cinema, '''''its 2014 remake''''' is definitely not. The whole film is an AshcanCopy of the original one, filmed in the manner that looks more like a bad parody, with over-the-top accents. The only differences from the original are the flaccid attempts at being modern (for example, a dance lesson is replaced by the suds party), and the ending, where the main villain is EasilyForgiven. Kinopoisk gives this movie a rating of 1.1.

* '''''House of Numbers: Anatomy of an Epidemic''''' is a documentary produced, directed, and starring HIV/AIDS denialist Brent Leung. The film not only propagates the denialism, contradicted by conclusive evidence, that [[ScienceIsWrong the HIV virus is harmless and not the cause of AIDS]], but also states [[InsaneTrollLogic that AIDS is instead caused by the drugs used to treat HIV]]. Like ''Vaxxed'' after it, it depicts the world as hostage to the medical industry, at one point including depicting former South African president Thabo Mbeki's rejection of HIV medication -- which directly resulted in well over 300,000 deaths that could have been avoided -- as heroic. [[ManipulativeEditing Quotes from scientists are taken out of context and edited in order to toe the director's party line.]] The most disturbing part about this whole thing, however, is that several of the people the film who are interviewed (including Christine Maggiore, whose refusal of anti-HIV medication ''resulted in the infection and subsequent death of her daughter'') have died (which the film states [[BlatantLies had nothing to do with HIV/AIDS.]]) and people have taken the film seriously and died as a result. [[https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2009-aug-21-et-capsules21-story.html The LA Times considered it “not especially well-organized or focused” and criticized Leung’s lack of screen presence]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLthPsWmE3cec-DqXSC8sT3hCW9c9Zu4v8 British chemist and debunker Myles Power dissects the film here.]] Oh, and [[CantTakeCriticism people from the movie tried to take Power's videos down at one point]].

* '''''Film/GoneFishin''''' was a 1997 [[BuddyPicture buddy comedy]] that suffered from an extremely [[TroubledProduction troublesome production; which ranged from writing changes, to firing the original director]] after only 2 weeks, [[FatalMethodActing to an actual stuntwoman's death caused by a stunt boat]]. The plot of the film involves best friends Joe Waters (Creator/JoePesci) and Gus Green (Creator/DannyGlover), who go to Florida after winning a fishing contest, only for wild shenanigans to ensue. The biggest problem with the film is that the jokes were done much better in other family comedies of the time, and that both Pesci and Glover were miscast as the main characters. The protagonists are also destructive idiots, having destroyed a boat in just a couple hours and burned down an expensive hotel because one of them was sleepwalking, which leaves the audience questioning why they're even rooting for them in the first place. Unsurprisingly, it was a huge flop at the box office, grossing only a third of its money back and earned a pitiful 4% on Rotten Tomatoes. Creator/LeonardMaltin gave the film a "BOMB" rating, his lowest rating, and latter called it an annoyingly unfunny gambit" which wasted Pesci and Glover's talent, remarking "this film really smells". The Walt Disney Company were aware that this film was going to suck, transferring it from Walt Disney Pictures to Hollywood Pictures (the "Walt Disney Pictures Presents" credit ended up staying on the film, which goes to show just how little they cared). The only thing regarded as decent about this forgettable flick was that Willie Nelson provided the main theme ("Down in the Everglades"), but even then, it doesn't excuse the terrible acting, poor writing, and simply dull aftertaste audiences got from watching this. [[WebVideo/BadMovieBeatdown Film Brain]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PK2WgCWWv4Y takes a great time]] explaining why ''Gone Fishin''' failed from the start.

* '''''Film/{{Loqueesha}}''''' is a "comedy", so to speak, [[CopiouslyCreditedCreator written, produced, directed by, and also starring]] Jeremy Saville. Saville plays a down-on-his-luck, divorced, white bartender who, in order to cover his son's tuition, becomes a radio host impersonating the titular SassyBlackWoman he invented of course becoming a nationally-syndicated sensation. Do you really even need to go further after reading that? The premise apparently attempts to go two-for-two by not only being racist but also misogynistic (with some transphobia thrown into the mix as well).

Needless to say, it has earned its zero percent on Website/RottenTomatoes.

* '''''Film/MrMagoo''''' was a 1997 film adaptation (or abomination) of ''WesternAnimation/MrMagoo''. The movie involves Magoo (played by Creator/LeslieNielsen) being mistaken for an international jewel thief and getting chased around the world by the authorities and said jewel thieves. All of this takes a backseat to [[ItsTheSameSoItSucks tired slapstick gags]] long ago run into the ground by not just the source material, but other films in that genre from that era. Magoo's {{Flanderization}} into an oblivious, nigh-on ScatterbrainedSenior didn't do it any favors either, as it resulted in heavy backlash from blindness awareness groups. And speaking of insensitivity, the film casts as Creator/JenniferGarner as a vaguely South Asian woman named Stacey Sampanahodrita, and has Agent Chuck Stupak (Stephen Tobolowsky) dress up in '''''[[BlackFace blackface makeup]]''''' and a turban to look like an Indian. The only redeemable things about this movie were the surprisingly catchy music score by Mike Tavera, and some brief animated segments that illustrate the film's sheer waste of potential. The backlash ultimately resulted in the movie being pulled from theaters after only a few weeks and becoming [[BoxOfficeBomb a financial failure]] for Creator/{{Disney}}, only so much as being mentioned again via Disney+. The movie received absolutely scathing reviews (an abysmal 18% on Metacritic and a 7%[=/=]24% critic/audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes), and the career of its director, Stanley Tong, [[CreatorKiller crashed and burned]]. This all but killed Mr. Magoo, with only the obscure 2010 movie ''Kung-Fu Magoo'' and [[WesternAnimation/MrMagoo2019 a very loose TV adaptation]] in the decade since.
