10 Best Bad Movies Since 2000

2. I Know Who Killed Me

If you haven’t seen I Know Who Killed Me, just imagine a Charles-Addams-meets-Ed-Wood version of The Parent Trap. Lindsay Lohan gets a dual role, playing a piano prodigy named Aubrey as well as her twin sister Dakota, who’s a potty-mouthed slut you couldn’t pry off the stripper pole with a spatula. But get this: they don’t know they’re sisters. They’ve never met.

When Aubrey is kidnapped, the police find Dakota and decide she must be the missing girl which leads to a number of unintentionally hilarious complications. One of the funniest is when Dakota comes on to Aubrey’s boyfriend and lets him ride her like Viggo rode Hidalgo while mom’s downstairs in her white suburban front room, covering her ears against the sound of her baby panting like a racehorse.

Best of all, though, is the sequence where Dakota’s hand just falls off which Google informs her is a manifestation of the theory of “Stigmatic Twins.” As any aspiring Dr Mengele will tell you, this states that whatever injuries befall one twin are exhibited by another. So if a loony psycho kidnaps a girl and amputates her hand, her twin will eventually exhibit the exact same wounds.
