The bar was set high with Borat. Nothing he does will ever be as good as that. I enjoyed Ali-G as well. But he’s made some stinkers for sure. Brothers Grimsby or whatever was terrible too. The elephant scene was just stupid.
The Dictator was pretty funny. Especially this scene:

The Boondock Saints was hated by critics and loved by viewers with a 20% critic score and 91% audience rating on RottenTomatoes. I personally loved it. The story was solid, the action was well done, and Dafoe gives an epic performance.
There were issues with production however the major problem was the timing of releasing a super violent movie not long after the Columbine massacre. This limited the theatrical run to 5 theaters and had critics focusing on the extreme violence instead of other aspects of the film.

After googling it I discovered that it was a made for TV movie, but my friend and I rented it from the movie store in 1994 or 95. We both feel asleep, it was bad. It is called Next Door and it stars Randy Quaid.
From movies I've recently seen that I absolutely hate is Suicide Squad. I watched it on the plane. I thought that since it was free I may as well see what the hate is all about. Worst portrayal of The Joker ever. Ever.
I had the same response, but thankfully I did not pay to see it. I watched it on a plane and was also angry about how bad it was.

I too watched it on a plane and thought it sucked. I tend to watch bad Superhero movies on planes, mostly because I have heard they are bad so since I am already suffering crammed in a sardine can, may as well double up. And if i'm lucky they will be boring too, and put me to sleep.
Question: was the Brad Pitt Troy movie a steaming pile of crap? Because that's certainly the way I remember it, but I'm also a big Iliad / Odyssey enthusiast, so I might have just been biased against it butchering the source material. It's certainly at the top of movies I hated in the theatre, but I was surprised to look up reviews for it and find that they were pretty middling.

No. It was objectively awful.
Not only did it butcher the source material it didnt even do it all that well. Just bad all around.

1) The Hidden starring Kyle Mclachlan - This steaming pile was built around two body stealing aliens fighting across earth. The Villain is a slimy looking worm thing that likes heavy metal, fast cars and loose woman. The heroic alien a beam of golden light. That alone tells you everything you should know. KM acted like he knew this could end his career. The effects were bad, and the plot stupid and the whole thing dumb. it almost didn't make the list due to the car chase, but managed to squeek on
Wow, I totally forgot about that movie. I used to love it as a kid, I think I must have recorded it off of Showtime or something because me and my friends watched it repeatedly. I'll have to watch it again because I remember enjoying it quite a bit. Maybe it actually sucks....

Corvette Summer. That this movie exists still bugs me to this day.
I saw it well after its release date at some cut-rate drive-in theatre in Kalispell Montanna, accompanied by a monumentally boring American boy. In desperation, I just got out of the car and randomly wandered around chucking rocks at stuff until some guy in a uniform came to stop me.
That said, I only watched the first 3 minutes of Battlefield Earth before bailing.
