12 Terrible Movies That Killed An Actor's Winning Streak

6. The Incredible Burt Wonderstone - Jim Carrey

The Streak: Though Carrey's boom period was largely considered to be during the mid-1990s, his longest streak came during the 2000s, beginning with Bruce Almighty and continuing with Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (more critically than commercially), Fun with Dick and Jane, The Number 23 (financially even though critics trashed it), Horton Hears A Who!, Yes Man, I Love You Philip Morris (again, critically more so than at the box office), A Christmas Carol and Mr Popper's Penguins. For ten straight movies, Carrey hit with either critics, audiences or both, proving the popular comedian's staying power.

The Film That Broke It: Though the starring role was taken by Steve Carell, The Incredible Burt Wonderstone was heavily sold on Jim Carrey's supporting part as a flashy magician boasting a unique physical appearance. Despite Carrey's game performance in the part, the movie failed to make its $30 million budget back and was panned by critics for failing to make the most of its promising premise.
