10 Excruciatingly Bad Films You Should Die Before You See

When The Tom Green Show became a hit for MTV, Twentieth Century Fox gave its brash, loud-mouthed host $12 million to make his own movie, which Green spent staging sequences featuring animal abuse, a baby being swung by its umbilical cord and a handicapped woman who lives to give oral sex.

There’s no structure to Green’s script, no story, no jokes, punchlines or satire, just a succession of gross-out gags staged like a TV show, with crew members occasionally visible. Your ‘enjoyment’ of the picture will rest upon your tolerance for watching a would-be celebrity dance around in a deer carcass, beat his handicapped girlfriend with a bamboo rod or, having saved the best till last, accuse his father of “fingering” his younger brother.

Tune in if that’s your cup of tea, but everyone else will share critic Stephen Hunter’s opinion: “What part of ‘unfunny’ doesn’t Tom Green understand?”
