10 Actors Who Clearly Knew Their Movie Sucked

8. James Franco In Your Highness

If you don't remember the fantasy stoner comedy Your Highness, congratulations on all that freed up space in your head that you can use for literally anything else. Think of what you might achieve with it all!

But anyway, most of the cast behind this film recalls their last root canal with more fondness than this movie, but James Franco, who played one of the leads, is particularly bitter. Considering who we're talking about, it's no wonder why he did it (Franco would probably wade through dog poop at least once just to say he did it) but you can tell in his delivery just how bad he knows this material to be.

Now granted, from a certain perspective, and with certain jokes, his awkward delivery can actually be really funny, enhancing those select few jokes. But they're few and far between, and usually all it does it verbally emulate your feelings when you sit down and watch this brain dead comedy.
