The Five Worst Movies Of 2011

Every year there are clunkers at the movies. But this year, there were a huge amount of really bad movies. And some had some very popular stars. This year the really bad movies were not the typical horrible slasher flicks, but actually movies that were made to be real movies, with people you know.

It was not real hard to put together the Best Movie list this week. That basket was not near full, and had few to choose from. But the Worst Movie list was way harder. That basket was overflowing this year.

I see about 150 movies a year, and I see them in the same theaters you do. So to be on this list, movies have to be in general release and shown in local theaters. This is always a fun list to talk about.

The Five Worst Movies of 2011

1/ I Don't Know How She Does It - Sarah Jessica Parker and a real nice sounding cast in this
absolute travesty of an idea. They attempted to show you a typical working mom and
how she balances it all. Problem is, she is a privileged, wealthy East Coast woman
that is not even remotely relatable to 99 percent of women anywhere. Parker is beyond
horrible in this movie as is the story, writing, and the whole idea. I am not sure this
could have been any worse if they tried. Nauseating.

2/ New Years Eve - Too bad that Sarah Jessica Parker also stars in this hunk of junk. But so
do a ton of other "big names" in this insultingly horrible idea. This movie also has 3
Oscar winners in it that had no business even going to this movie, let alone starring in
it (Halle Berry, Hilary Swank, and Robert De Niro). This was so bad, it was almost
walk out worthy. Please stop making these "star" loaded movies. No one cares about them, and more and more no one is going to them. And stop embarrassing yourselves. What was Hilary Swank thiking? 2 time Oscar winner, holy cow!

3/ One Day - The lovely Anne Hathaway somehow was talked into this piece of absolute trash.
This is a "love story" that takes place over a 20 year span, and the whole time you know
this is going no where, and worse, you don't care. Plus, she gets hit by a truck at the end. So there you go, you don't have to rent it. You will be pretty ticked off that this is your payoff for trudging through this mess. This was supposed to be emotional and it was. It made most everyone mad at themselves for paying to go see it.

4/ Your Highness - For heavens sake. How really terrible is this? I mean really. Not really worthy of much here. If you want to see bad, crude, vile, and 7th grade locker room humor for 2 hours as acted out by adult men and women. This is your movie. Oh, what some people will do for a paycheck.

5/ Country Strong - We have to go all the way back to January for this one. Gwenyth Paltrow as a washed up country singer who's on drugs trying to make a comeback. She is miserably miscast. The writing is abysmal, the ending is horrible, and the idea is so overdone, and unoriginal it loses all the way around. Music is good as Nashville held up its end. But the rest of this is a disaster. Plus, after paying Paltrow, there must have not been any money left, because this whole project looks amateurish, and underfunded. With the huge concert scene looking like it was filmed in someones garage.

There they are, the Five Worst Movies of 2011! I know there are tons more this year that were worthy of this list. Share your thoughts with me scott@wqmx.com .
