20 Movies Since 2010 So Awful They're Actually Harrowing

20. Pixels

What would a list of terrible movies be without something from Adam Sandler? His current string of turkeys shows no sign of ending and this will probably go down as his most bizarre.

Pixels came in backed up with a decent cast, the very funny joke of Kevin James (infuriating as he is) being President, a director who defined many childhoods with Home Alone and Harry Potter, and a story of aliens invading the earth in the style of famous arcade games. This one had the potential to be a fun sci-fi adventure, but with tragic inevitability Sandler and co. messed everything up.

With a lack of respect for the arcade games it focuses on, Peter Dinklage, good taste, and its audience, it's near impossible to isolate Pixels' biggest flaw.

Everyone involved goes through the motions, while the spectacle that looked fun in the trailers never amounts to anything. It's not Adam Sandler's worst movie of recent times at all, but then it'd be very hard to sink lower than some of his recent efforts.
