2. Will Arnett (Show Dogs)

Will Arnett, who hurt you? Or rather, how badly did The Lego Batman Movie and the new season of Arrested Development pay that you needed to sell your soul to star in this talking dogs trainwreck?

Quite possibly the worst film of the year and certainly the worst thing Arnett has ever appeared in - even The Nut Job has this licked - his performance as human protagonist Frank, a cop who teams up with a police dog, seems half-embarrassed, half-bored.

At least he's able to spend a decent amount of the movie off-screen while the CGI-manipulated dogs do their thing, but it's still a dignity-annihilating performance, and with a mere $5.5 million budget, there's no way it paid him enough to be worthwhile.
