Gerard Butler: 5 Awesome Performances And 5 That Sucked

by Dan Woburn

1. Leprechaun 1 & 2 - Movie 43 (2013)

Relativity Media

Yeah, so, Gerard Butler totally played two twin foul-mouthed leprechauns who get into a barney with Sean William-Scott and Johnny Knoxville. Peter Farrelly's ill-advised sketch movie produced a lot of dire offerings from a surprising amount of A-listers. Butler's racist leprechaun act was definitely nearer the top of the sh*t heap, although to be fair, nothing can top Hugh Jackman's testicle neck.

When will filmmakers learn that constantly talking about balls doesn't equate to comedy gold? Nor does taking things so far as having a leprechaun say he was going to climb inside of your mother's vagina and light a campfire. Lord knows what compelled Butler to take the part - even on paper, it's not funny - but he did it and it sucked and that's why it's on this list.
