When it comes to making movies, it is impossible to please everyone. The internet proves that point everyday as it provides multiple forums in which any audience member can be a critic. As the movie-going public, we can rely on the evaluations of our peers to make the ever important decision of whether or not to buy that ticket or purchase that Blu-ray. At least, thats the theory. In practice, we end up seeing negative assessments of films that practically everyone loves that leave us scratching our heads. How can a movie beloved by so many be so strongly hated by a very vocal minority? There are the obvious trolls to watch out for and skim right past, but not all of the oddly negative reviews are insincere and designed to start an online mudslinging session. Many of them are written in earnest, making the width of the range of opinion seem unfathomable. At times, this can be rather frustrating, but when approached with the correct frame of mind, the results can be a source of great amusement. Hold onto your favorites tightly, but open your mind as this article takes you through 20 hilariously bad Amazon reviews for films everyone loves!

The following review credits Bill Murray and his hilarious talents. The reviewer even seemed capable of enjoying everything about Groundhog Day, save for its plot.
