10 Robert De Niro Movies That Suck More Than Dirty Grandpa

7. The Adventures Of Rocky & Bullwinkle

The Adventures Of Rocky & Bullwinkle was apparently a pet project for De Niro, so he has nobody to blame but himself. The film is a combination of live action characters with cartoons, featuring a plot where the famous cartoon characters get mixed up in a scheme by De Niro's Fearless Leader. De Niro is on a one-way ticket to Hamsville in Rocky & Bullwinkle, and the viewer must decide for themselves if that€™s a good or bad thing. He€™s clearly having a blast, but his mock German accent and OTT delivery of every single line quickly grates on the nerves. Plus there€™s something heartbreaking about watching him do a parody of his €œYou talkin€™ to me?€ speech from Taxi Driver; it€™s a moment that marks the beginning of his decline. Elsewhere the movie is trying to be a meta-parody and heart-warming family comedy, only to fail miserably at both. The meta stuff is winking way too hard at the audience, and the comedy is so obnoxious you€™ll likely just hate everyone by the end.
