10 Terrible Films That The Wrong Person Got Blamed For
1. Elizabeth Banks, Kristen Bell, Halle Berry, Leslie Bibb, Kate Bosworth, Gerard Butler, Josh Duhamel, Anna Faris, Richard Gere, Terrence Howard, Hugh Jackman, Johnny Knoxville, Justin Long, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Liev Schreiber, Seann William Scott, Emma Stone, Jason Sudeikis, Uma Thurman, Naomi Watts and Kate Winslet - Movie 43
Who Else Was To Blame: Peter Farrelly.
Movie 43 could only have been made worse if people had actually gone to see it, but thankfully audiences heeded critical planning and their own common sense to steer clear of last year's abominable 'comedy'. Attempting to have people aghast at its gross-out comedy, the only thing people were shocked by was the ensemble cast that would make Wes Anderson blush. So much talent starring in unfunny, vulgar sketches made for a cringe-inducing hour and a half, and although no one's career was seriously damaged (being in the film at all was punishment enough), a lot of blame rested on the actors, who without the film wouldn't have existed.
Except if you listen to director Peter Farrelly (half of the brother-duo that brought you films varying from There's Something About Mary to The Three Stooges), no one really wanted to be in it; over multiple years he called in favours, and tricked or otherwise blackmailed the stars to appearing. Don't be angry at the cast. Pity them.
