20 Worst Movie Moments Of The Decade

2. Movie 43 - Hugh Jackman's Chin Balls

Movie 43 Hugh Jackman

If, a decade ago, someone had said that there would be a film in which the brilliant Hugh Jackman, one of Hollywood's finest A-listers, would pop up in arguably the decade's worst film playing a man with a scrotum hanging from his chin in one of the worst comedy sketches imaginable, everyone would've laughed it off as some painfully unfunny joke.

Unfortunately, this actually happened.

To this day, no-one knows why so many talented actors agreed to appear in this loathsome, incompetent, stupid, ugly and staggeringly unfunny comedy car crash, which consists of 12 of the worst comedy shorts you've ever seen. Still, at least they were polite enough to get the worst short out of the way first.

This opening short is disturbing, poorly-written, repetitive, unfunny as hell... it's one of those things where such mundane things as words simply cannot do justice to how painful it is to watch the humiliation of both Hugh Jackman and Kate Winslet (yes, she's also in this) in this useless, sickening garbage.

To paraphrase Morpheus's line from The Matrix, "Unfortunately, no-one can really be told how bad Movie 43 is. You have to see it for yourself."

Still, for crying out loud, please don't.
