13 Outrageously Awful 2015 Performances That Deserve Razzies

5. Ryan Guzman - The Boy Next Door

The Role: Noah Sandborn, the 19-year-old who moves in next door to teacher Claire Peterson (Jennifer Lopez), and after the two have a steamy hookup, becomes the creeper from Hell. Why It's So Awful: Guzman doesn't do much here to dissuade that he's anything more than a generically attractive actor without any personality to distinguish himself from the thousands of others like himself. Granted, there's only so much you can do with howlingly bad one-liners like "I love your mother's cookies!", but his wooden line readings and cheesy attempts at appearing villainous are wildly unconvincing, as well as the fact that he's a 27-year-old playing someone eight years younger. It just doesn't work. He's a pure block of wood, plain and simple.
