10 Movies That Suck So Bad You Can't Believe They Even Got Made

2. Movie 43

Look at that header image, which is indeed Hugh Jackman with a set of balls on his chin. That one photo manages to perfectly encapsulate both the level of star power involved in Movie 43, and how lowbrow and dreadful the pitiful attempts at wringing out even a single laugh from the anthology ensemble turned out to be.

A quick glance at the cast really makes you wonder if any of these people had even read the script, because Jackman, Kate Winslet, Elizabeth Banks, Kristen Bell, Halle Berry, Gerard Butler, Richard Gere, Terrence Howard, Chris Pratt, Liev Schreiber, Emma Stone, jason Sudeikis, Uma Thurman, Naomi Watts and Julianne Moore could all easily name it as the worst movie of their career and nobody could present a single compelling argument to the contrary.

Anthology movies are always hard to get right, and Movie 43 is the textbook example of how every single thing can go wrong, resulting in embarrassment for the gaggle of A-listers and a fully deserved reputation as perhaps the single worst comedy to ever come out of the studio system. Imagine wandering around the set with a pair of prosthetic testicles attached to your face and thinking the movie would be anything else than !*$%.

I don't do social media, so like or follow me in person but please maintain a safe distance or the authorities will be notified. Don't snap me though, I'll probably break. I was once labelled a misogynist on this very site in a twenty paragraph-long rant for daring to speak ill of the Twilight franchise. I stand by what I said, it's crap.
