3. Seriously Dude, Where's My Car?
Barely any movie truly warrants a sequel, and
Dude Where's My Car? certainly isn't one of them. In fact, it's surely a contender for "Movie Least Deserving Of A Sequel Ever," isn't it? Though the original flick - which starred Ashton Kutcher as a befuddled stoner trying to reclaim his lost wheels after a heavy night - was a critical bomb, it made a lot of money at the box office, because this is what people wanted to go see in 2000. A sequel was green-lit in the wake of
Dude's box office success (it was tentatively titled
Seriously Dude, Where's My Car?), and meandered in development for a good few years, until Ashton Kutcher decided he wanted to do better things than a sequel to a movie about stoners and starred in a succession of middling romantic comedies instead. The plot, of course, would have concerned another crazy night resulting in another lost car. Nowadays, the
Hangover franchise has embraced
Dude's "what happened last night?" trope to such an extent that it feels kind of lame.
