10 Movies From 2017 That Deserve Razzie Awards (But Weren't Nominated)

From the director of National Lampoon’s Cattle Call comes 9/11, which stars Charlie Sheen as a businessman trapped in an elevator in the World Trade Center on the eponymous date. Also starring Whoopi Goldberg and Gina Gershon, the film is based on the play Elevator by Patrick Carson, which Tucson Weekly described as “an interesting but rather skeletal piece begging to be fleshed out with richer characterizations.”

The trailer condescends to the audience by informing us the movie is “based on actual events” and invites accusations of tastelessness by including its release date (September 8th) and giving prominence to Sheen who, other controversies aside, is on record as saying that 9/11 “feels like a conspiracy theory.”

Described by The Hollywood Reporter as “a cheapo disaster movie wrapping itself in the piety of one of the nation’s most tragic events”, 9/11 seems far more deserving of a Worst Picture nomination than, say, The Mummy or Baywatch. Then again, it might’ve persuaded people to watch the film so hold that thought.
