10 Movies That Will Definitely Win Razzie Awards In 2017

3. Dirty Grandpa

Ben Stiller Razzie Zoolander 2

Here’s the good news: Dirty Grandpa is one of the most horrifying movies you will ever see in your life. Here’s the bad news: it was supposed to be a comedy.

Badly misjudged on every level, the movie mistakes its constant stream of profanity and sex references for wit so often that it’s difficult to find a single moment to highlight. Perhaps the scene where Zac Efron speaks to his Jewish girlfriend, unaware someone has drawn a swastika on his forehead? How about the moment when 32 year-old Aubrey Plaza and 73 year-old Robert De Niro have a child, and De Niro shows off his son’s wedding tackle?

If the movie doesn’t receive nominations in every major category, then something is rotten in the state of Denmark. Then again, “comedy” in 2016 consisted of Fifty Shades Of Black, The Boss and The Do-Over, so it’s not like there isn’t stiff competition.
