12 Terrible 2017 Movies "Snubbed" By The Razzies

11. The Book Of Henry

Colin Trevorrow's coming-of-age drama received plenty of awards buzz throughout the first half of 2017...until people saw it and realised it was one of the most tone-deaf dramas of the year.

With a litany of manipulative twists and turns and an off-kilter tone that's nowhere near as sweet or affecting as Trevorrow clearly thinks it is, The Book of Henry is exactly the sort of film the Razzies should target more often: an Oscar-baiting movie that fails spectacularly.

Again proving that Naomi Watts might be the most talented actress with the worst agent in the biz, she's left stranded in an accidental laugh riot of a movie so bad it most likely resulted in Trevorrow being kicked off Star Wars Episode IX.

What It Should've Been Nominated For: Worst Picture, Worst Director (Colin Trevorrow), Worst Screen Combo (Naomi Watts and a sniper rifle) and Worst Screenplay.
