12 Actors Who Slammed Their Own Movie Before Release
8. Matthew Goode - Leap Year
“It’s turgid. I just know that there are a lot of people who will say it is the worst film of 2010.” That’s Matthew Goode talking about his romantic comedy Leap Year in an interview with The Telegraph, just ahead of its UK release date. The studio must have loved him for it.
His honestly has to be admired in a way, because the reviews up to that stage had already been scathing. He went on to say he only took the movie because it paid well, and it allowed him to be with his family on the weekend. He did go on to praise Amy Adams, but in the end, he admitted it was ultimately a bad gig.
Leap Year was a minor success all said and done, so Goode’s comments did little to damage it but don’t expect a Leap Year 2 in the immediate future either.
