How do you know awful movie

George is a nice man, ethical, who faces indictment on a technicality. In theory, he should have known every detail about the financial malfeasance of his father's company.

It doesn't always work out that way. I expected this movie to be better. The writer-director is James L. So let's start with Nicholson.

Brooks hasn't given him much to work with. Here he plays a conniving tycoon who doesn't deserve his son's loyalty. It's a heavy role, and there's little to lighten it. In his best roles, Jack always seems to be getting away with something. He is here, too, but it's not funny. We like to identify with his onscreen sins, and this is a rare time when Nicholson is simply a creep. The best-written and funniest role in the film is for Owen Wilson, as the pro pitcher.

You know how his characters can have that ingratiating niceness, that solicitude for you while they're serving themselves? Here he plays a man tone-deaf to the feelings of women and clueless about his own behavior. But he's so nice about it that Lisa agrees to move in, and that provides an opening for what every actress should master, the scene where she repacks her bags and marches out.

Rudd's George is very likable. This is the wrong time for him to fall in love. Alas, it's not," wrote the Arizona Republic. The latest Studio Ghibli movie was called "ghastly" by Paste Magazine. The sports movie is based on the true story of the Fort Worth orphanage football team, the Mighty Mites. The only emotion the movie conveys is being full of itself," said Variety.

Cheese pizza. The jokes aren't funny. The action itself is doubly disappointing, as poorly choreographed as it is incomprehensibly filmed.

The sci-fi film about teenagers out to colonize a distant planet was called a "half-assed attempt at an updated 'Lord of the Flies,'" by the New York Post. Movie Nation called the movie "a thriller that misses the mark, and not by a little. Anne Hathaway and Chiwetel Ejiofor play lovers in a broken relationship during the pandemic lockdown.

By the time the film climaxes with multiple predictable but utterly preposterous twists, you'll probably be reaching for a bottle yourself. From ill-advised sequels like "Scary Movie 5" and "Caddyshack II," to two dubious political documentaries by conservative filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza, these films drew the ire of critics and provoked the repulsion of many.

What critics said: "Only old pros James Brolin and Jane Seymour, as Eva's colorfully squabbling parents, occasionally rouse the film beyond its fate as fodder for a Snuggie-wrapped slumber. What critics said: "Filling in for Eddie Murphy in a septically humored kiddie sequel to 'Daddy Day Care,' Gooding gives a mug-job performance that consists mainly of reacting again and again to nasty smells.

What critics said: "A thriller primarily about the movement of Cindy Crawford's breasts beneath a succession of ever-smaller T-shirts. What critics said: "The movie is simply not professional. It's not, even by the lowest standards of Republic B-westerns in the '30s or bad, cheap horror films in the '50s, releasable.

What critics said: "While the original was no classic, it had a few mild laughs and the plus-sized actor displayed a certain buffoonish charm.
