10 More Movies That Suck So Bad You Can’t Believe Got Made

How did anyone think these movies were a good idea?

You've likely heard of the phrase "so bad, it's good" being used to describe certain rather dreadful big-screen experiences. The Room, for example, is one of those pictures that has gone on to become an unexpected cult hit despite being a bit of a mess.

This list, though, won't be focusing on those awful movies that bizarrely still found a way to bring a smile to fans' faces. Instead, it'll be taking a closer look at the films that fall into the slightly more painful "so bad, how in the hell did anyone ever think this was a good idea to create?" category.

Over the years, everything from deeply unfunny "comedy" tales, to anything but game-changing Sci-Fi action stories have managed to somehow make their way into theatres, as seen previously in our 10 Movies That Suck So Bad You Can't Believe They Even Got Made list. But if you think they were the only examples of truly crap movies that make you question how they were ever allowed to become a thing in the first place, you thought wrong.

From dodgy family adventures, to those superhero ideas that should have probably just stayed locked away in the minds of all involved, here are even more films that sucked so much, it's hard to understand why or how they were made.

10. The Emoji Movie

Following on from a movie focusing on some iconic little bricks unexpectedly proving that even the silliest sounding concepts have the potential to be a hell of a time in 2014, The Lego Movie's unlikely success left some who would usually be quick to run a mile from a movie about those faces found on your phone feeling cautiously optimistic.

But the second that first trailer for this 2017 animated Tony Leondis-directed picture dropped, those same folks soon sensed that everything would not be awesome when it came to this particular cash grab. Even those who swiftly recoiled at that first look at the legendary Patrick Stewart voicing some talking crap in The Emoji Movie couldn't have guessed just how much of an unmitigated disaster was on its way, though.

Slammed as an unfunny, uninspired, and just plain lazy 86-minute experience, which also largely acted as a blatant advert for various smartphone apps, it was almost impressive just how poorly this dumb story of a multi-expressional emoji trying to become a standard one turned out.

It didn't walk away empty handed come awards season, at least, with the James Corden, T.J. Miller, and Anna Faris-starring film bringing home the awards for Worst Picture, Director, Screen Combo, and Screenplay at that year's Razzies.

How a film containing "jokes" about sophisticated turds doing their duty was ever given the thumbs up emoji is anyone's guess, but here we are.
