10 Terrible Movies That Wasted Amazing Casts
10. Movie 43
Gross-out comedy king Peter Farrelly and his multitude of co-directors aren’t entirely to blame for Movie 43. The blame for such an atrocity has to be shared also by its impressive cast, most of whom really should’ve known better.
You’d think given a huge, talented cast featuring a handful of Oscar winners and nominees that Farrelly and Co may have been able to pull a semi-decent movie out of the hat. You’d be wrong.
Accompanied by rightfully scathing reviews, Movie 43 was dubbed the ‘Citizen Kane of awful’ and ‘the biggest waste of talent in cinema history’. If that isn’t proof enough of its awfulness then a few examples of its fourteen skits – Hugh Jackman as a man with a pair of testicles attached to his neck on a blind date with a horrified Kate Winslet and Chris Pratt experimenting with a bit of coprophilia alongside real-life wife Anna Faris with predictably gross results – should suffice.
In fact, the only redeemable factor of Movie 43 is fantasizing about what kind of salacious dirt Peter Farrelly had on its stars to blackmail them into appearing in the film in the first place.
