Some movies are constantly caught in a struggle between the good and the bad, and for cinema fans, these types of flick will prove themselves to be the most frustrating - there's nothing less fun than a movie that forces you to constantly weigh things over in your head as you desperately try to tell yourself that you're having a good time... In most cases, the good will ultimately outweigh the bad, and you'll leave the movie theatre feeling like you - at least - got your money's worth. But sometimes things go the other way, especially when you find yourself suddenly watching a scene that completely tips the hat in a truly irreparable fashion. Here's 10 seriously misjudged scenes that - had they simply been removed or tweaked slightly - might've helped these movies towards a far better reception. In other cases, they're just irksome moments that don't do justice to the rest of the picture and we want them gone. As it stands, though, pretty much all of these scenes have done enough bad to ruin our movie experiences in their entirety...
9. "I'm Also Just A Girl..." - Notting Hill
A lot of you are probably thinking "Notting Hill was terrible anyway: what is this guy talking about?" Fair enough, but for my money - and for the most part - this is a strong romantic story built around an interesting idea: what happens if your average Joe falls in love with the world's biggest movie star? It's also the kind of thing that we've all probably fantasied about from time to time, so why the hell not? Despite being pretty schmalzy in every way imaginable, I still think the movie holds together well. Until... That awful, cringeworthy scene towards the end that only serves to remind you that, yes, Richard Curtis wrote this thing. You know the one I mean, right? When Julia Roberts' character, the movie star Anna Scott, pays a return visit to Hugh Grant's William Thacker, after, like, breaking off their romance and ruining his life, and utters the unbelievably corny line: "I'm also just a girl... standing in front of a boy... asking him to love her." Ugh! Every time I hear those words, it takes me out of the movie completely. And this is a rom-com with a Ronan Keating song in the middle of it, for God's sake - it's already corny as hell. I still want to love Notting Hill (what's wrong with me?), but this part has me wrenching in disgust on a frequent basis. Not that I'm watching this on a frequent basis or anything...
