Saw Jumper and Love Guru and both deserve to be on this list.
Anakin Skywalker has got to be the worst actor alive. I've seen better acting at 2 AM on Skinemax.

I only saw 2 of these in the theaters (88 Minutes & 10000 BC). I saw 'Jumper' the other night on cable, it wasn't that bad...10. ' Meet Dave'
Eddie Murphy plays the leader of a crew of miniature humanoid aliens who board a human-looking spacecraft (also played by Murphy -- shocker!) and head to Earth in the hopes of saving their dying world. Yes, it is as bad as it sounds. And if Murphy didn't have nightmare flashbacks to his notorious cinematic debacle 'The Adventures of Pluto Nash' while filming 'Dave,' you bet he has since the flick debuted to horrific reviews and a box office even more miniature than the film's alien stars. -- Tom DiChiara
9. 'The Hottie and the Nottie'
It didn't take long to figure out which one was the hottie -- no, not because Paris Hilton is, like, the prettiest person ever. Because they made poor Christine Lakin (Al from 'Step by Step'!) so ... not. But the pounds of makeup, prosthetic mole and yellowing fake teeth couldn't hide the movie's shallow plot and insipid lesson. Oh wait, it's about inner beauty? Nah, still hated it. -- Maggie Furlong
8. '88 Minutes'
Oh, Al Pacino, what happened? Once you were one of our most acclaimed thespians; now you star in swill like this "thriller," whose implausible storyline and ridiculous characters pale next to a performance in which you seem to be either half-asleep or yelling. And the worst part? The movie's 108 -- not 88 -- painful minutes long, which makes it both literally and figuratively the longest '88 Minutes' of our lives. -- Patricia Chui
7. 'Fool's Gold'
Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson must've depleted their supply of chemistry with 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days.' We only say that because, well, there's zero sizzle in this loser rom-com, even with the sexy pair in skimpy scuba gear. And, as if that's not bad enough, there are enough offensive stereotypes -- ultra-effeminate gay men, criminally stereotyped rapper -- to keep everyone away. 'Fool's,' yes, but 'Gold'? No way. -- Angie Argabrite
6. 'Saw V'
Grinding out five films in as many years has taken a toll on the blood-and-guts franchise. With villain Jigsaw pretty much out of the picture, the fifth-generation flick tries too hard to one-up itself with plot twists. Sure, there are still some cringe-worthy moments. But even if you're just looking for gore, it's a bit of a bore. The most torturous thing of all? 'Saw VI' is already in the works. -- Katy Kroll
5. 'Jumper'
We expected more from director Doug Liman, who has helmed action gems like 'The Bourne Iden y' and 'Mr. and Mrs. Smith.' But with its erratically incoherent storyline, mediocre special effects and laughable line readings by Hayden Christensen and Rachel Bilson, 'Jumper' landed with a resounding thud. Too fast for its own good, it made us want to jump right out of a window. -- KK
4. '10,000 BC'
If there's non-fiction, fiction and science-fiction, than Roland Emmerich's awful wannabe blockbuster deserves a distinction all its own: We'll call it garbage-fiction. Like a Disney-fied version of 'Apocalypto' (the plots are ridiculously similar), the film follows a prehistoric tribe on an epic quest as they encounter one historical inaccuracy and impossibility after another. And worst of all, it's boring as .
-- Kevin Polowy
3. 'Disaster Movie'
From Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer, the makers of 'Date Movie,' 'Epic Movie' and 'Meet the Spartans' comes ... something even worse! The spoof "masters" hit an all-time low (if that's possible) with this rubbish, which doesn't even lampoon disaster films, it lampoons scenes from memorable (if completely random) movie trailers ('Juno,' 'Enchanted,' 'Han '). Apparently they're too busy collecting paychecks to watch full movies for ideas. -- KP
2. 'The Love Guru'
Saying funny words like "Mariska Hargitay" with an exaggerated foreign accent -- hilarious right? Hardly. Mike Myers' new spiritual leader character left audiences subjected to blatant discrimination -- against various cultures, physical attributes and, worst of all, people who like laughing. Because even with a laundry list of (what-were-they-thinking) co-stars, the one thing Guru Pitka couldn't find was comedy enlightenment. -- MF
1. 'The Happening'
Some jumped off the M. Night Shyamalan bandwagon as early as 'Signs,' while others waited for the divisive 'Village' or the roundly despised 'Lady in the Water.' With 'The Happening,' a laughable eco-horror movie with B-movie "shocks," C-grade acting and F-marks writing, that wagon seems headed straight toward the junkyard. The director's latest is a disaster movie in every way. -- KP
Saw Jumper and Love Guru and both deserve to be on this list.
Anakin Skywalker has got to be the worst actor alive. I've seen better acting at 2 AM on Skinemax.
10,000 BC deserves #1.
Zohan should be on there...i cant believe i got convinced to see that terrible movie.
I saw none of these. Win!
Ditto.
Though, I've got The Happening in my Blockbuster queue purely out of curiosity.
You are right, that movie was awful.
I did see The Happening, and it sucked out loud. But even only on the basis of seeing the previews I refuse to believe anything could be worse than #2 and #3 on the list. I really believe that Ben Kingsley's Oscar should be revoked for signing on for such a steaming hunk of .
I knew they are both horrible and I'm yet to watch either, but I downloaded Jumper because I don't care, I just like that one particular effect; it reminded me of Nightcrawler in X-Men 2. And sometimes, y'know, a ty movie just is what it is.
Downloaded the Happening because, , I too just had to see for myself.
The Happening probably deserves #1. I saw that movie and nothing "happened"!
I knew it was gonna suck, but my ex- wanted to see it.
so did I
Jumper wasn't bad!! I actually liked it.
I believe I saw Vantage Point, Horton Hears a Who, Righteous Kill, Australia, Dark Knight, Iron Man, Hulk, Wall E, Role Models, Bedtime Stories, and some other i cant remember... i think the worst out of all that was either bedtime stories or vantage point.
+1
It was just an excuse for Sandler to get all his friends in a movie. Quick payday, is what it was.
Oh, and
+1
The dude got more money for being a bad actor in Star Wars than most decent actors will get in a lifetime.
Jumper was total suckage, I only saw it because they had it on the HDTV's at the store and it LOOKED good, too bad it wasn't...
I'd replace "Jumper" with "blah blah blah Zohan." Yeah, Jumper isn't a great movie, but I was able to finish it, and the concept is good (the vfx were decent too). "Zohan" was pure , and I turned it off (edit: before it finished... on it's own): a clear sign of garbage.
Honestly, there are so many bad movies being made, compiling one of these lists is too easy.
I love Shyamalan but the Happening was stupid.
Stupid? Really?? I would have to say it was ing re ed.
As for the Love Guru, Meet Dave, & Fools Gold; I feel as if I was robbed of time that I could have been doing much more important things. ie..taking a dump. THat would have been more enjoyable than watching those movies
i saw 10,000 bc on dvd. sucked
didnt see any of the rest and never will
10000 BC sucked so much ass it wasn't even funny. I remember seeing the mammoth scene and getting tricked into thinking it would be good, but I soon found out it sucked.
Saw 5 - I left the theater after about 20 minutes in.
Zohan was horrible, but I think Emmanuelle Chriqui made it worth the $1 I spent at the Redbox to watch it.
Add Speed Racer to that list.
