Redacted
and
Rendition
were the two turkeys of the year. Of course, I have the common sense to avoid most of that crap that John listed.

Forgot about rendition. The ending of that movie pissed me off the most.

Yes, Rendition was already bad enough, but the "twist" ending that relies on the sleaziest of editing tricks was enough to send it into "worst of" territory. Ebert gave it 4 stars, of course.

Chris,
"Redacted"? Come on. How can you say bad things about a film that grossed $65,000 nationwide? That wasn't even cab fare for De Palma. It's like kicking a kitten.

John,
You gotta see it.
It almost makes me support the war in Iraq.

Dang! I guess I must be lucky. A lot of the movies you guys have listed, I didn't get to see, but wanted to. "Wild Hogs", "The Invasion", "Silver Surfer", and a few others I can't remember off of the top of my head.
I think "Hairspray" would have to be my nominee. I liked aspects of it, but, as a rule, I find it very hard to tolerate musicals in general. There are a few I like "Singing In The Rain", and I'm sure there's at least one other I like, but I can't think of it at the moment. I couldn't watch Hairspray much past the 20 minute mark.

Josh,
It always amuses me when I compare critics' lists of "best" and "worst" movies of the year because some movies inevitably end up on both lists. For example, "Hairspray" is on your "worst" list and on my "best" list. (Actually, I prefer a "favorites" list because I couldn't create a "best" list to save my life.) Anyway, it shows how subjective and personal people's tastes are. And don't let anybody tell you there are any objective, set criteria for a "good" or a "bad" movie. Well, unless Tom Green is in it.
