Cost: $33.5m

Infamously, Whoopi Goldberg attempted to back out of this dino-buddy-cop movie (seriously), and was "forced" back with a $2m pay rise. New Line has wanted to release it to coincide with the star's stint on the Oscars, but when they actually saw it - and the test audience reactions - they decided it was best for everyone if it went straight to DVD.

Is It Any Good?

Is that some kind of joke? It's a buddy cop movie starring Whoopi Goldberg and a dinosaur.
