15 Awful Films Terminator Actors Want You To Forget

11. The Mod Squad (1999) - Claire Danes

RottenTomatoes Score: 4% The Plot: A contemporary movie adaptation of the classic 60s/70s TV series, in which three young delinquents, Julie Barnes (Claire Danes), Pete Cochran (Giovanni Ribisi) and Lincoln Hayes (Omar Epps), are recruited as undercover agents in order to avoid jail time. When the cop who recruited them, Capt. Adam Greer (Dennis Farina), is murdered, they seek to bring down the drug ring responsible. Why It Sucks: The film was nominated for a Worst Screenplay Razzie, and with good reason, and it's pretty easy to understand why Sarah Michelle Gellar, Melissa Joan Hart and Milla Jovovich all turned down the role that Danes accepted. The film as a whole is all over the place: it wants to be a pastiche and a homage to the original show, but it's also keen to be slick and contemporary, and as a result the messy mix pleases neither fans of the original nor younger viewers looking for something new. Flatly directed, horribly written and failing to put paid to its iconic characters, the only real pleasure here is Ribisi's somewhat amusing performance. On the whole, though, a total dud.
