Critical List: Exceedingly Bad Films

By Eric Schneider

Here at Critical Mob, we carefully focus on pointing you in the direction of the finest in pop culture. With films, we very intentionally avoid productions that we know are going to be bad and/or bland. However, sometimes we cover a movie that seemingly has some potential--and it completely sucks. These 12 films are incredibly awful and should be avoided at all costs. Really.

CRITICAL LIST

Sucker Punch

Zack Snyder
Visually engaging, substantially lacking. >>

Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie

Eric Wareheim
A failed exercise in superfluity. >>

Lola Versus

Daryl Wein
An insipid and aimless story of self-discovery. >>

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen

Michael Bay
An appallingly bad follow-up to Michael Bay’s sturdy 2007 blockbuster. >>

The Raven

James McTeigue
Quoth the raven, “meh.” >>

Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

Stephen Daldry
A manufactured tearjerker. >>

Dream House

Jim Sheridan
A scare-free ghost story. >>

One Day

Lone Scherfig
Sentimental snapshots of a relationship better left forgotten. >>

Bad Teacher

Jake Kasdan
A strong cast can’t save this crudely mean-spirited and uneven comedy. >>

The Green Hornet

Michel Gondry
Gondry's superhero venture is a scattershot misfire. >>

I'm Still Here

Casey Affleck
Whether or not it’s a put-on, it’s an embarrassment. >>

The Extra Man

Shari Springer Berman
Disappointingly fails to capture the comic tone of Ames’s novel. >>
