Robin Williams has to be the most overrated actor/comedian in the history of cinema. He's had maybe four movies over his entire career (Good Will Hunting, Fisher King, Awakenings, Dead Poets Society) that have been decent; and in those movies he's usually been carried by far superior actors (Bridges, DeNiro, etc.).
I can't remember the last time a really awesome comedy with Robin Williams came out.
Death to Smoochie was pretty good...and I liked Bicentennial Man, Final Cut, and a few more of his dramatic roles. And he was awesome in Aladdin.
Oh, an Jumanji was pretty go--
Bahahahaha. Almost got through that one with a straight face.

Good Morning Vietnam and The Birdcage are funny, but his best comedic work came here:
NSFW....language
I really liked him as the creepy photo shop dude in One Hour Photo
Overall, the lawsuits filed against Sasha Baron Sasha Cohen and 20th Century Fox for the film Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan are frivolous at best. Each of the plaintiffs signed a waiver to hold the producers harmless, and the villagers of Glod and Kazakhstan have yet to make a specific claim of damages in their lawsuit. In all cases, US District Judges ruled that no legal harm was done and permitted the release of the Borat DVD without any alterations to the original film version.
One of my least favourite Robin Williams movies is One Hour Photo. Hated it.
Really?? I kinda liked that movie. It wasn't a great movie by any stretch, but it had some redeeming qualities, and one of them was Williams' performance. I thought he was very good. His character was a tough one to portray(he was awakward, very forward and a demented loser) and I thought he pulled it off for sure. Just my two cents.
oooooh, just thought of another one of the worst movies I've ever seen.
The Blair Witch Project
Utter drivel. Saw it at the cheap movies and felt ripped off by the $2 admission. Probably the only movie I've seriously considered walking out on. Wasn't scary, plot and dialogue were horrible, camera work was nauseating. Not sure how it ever got hyped.
That movie sucked. Bigtime. I was expecting something great because everyone I knew was yapping about it, but when I saw it, I was pretty disappointed.
The only movie I ever walked out on (sorry, Al) was City Hall. I can't even remember what it was about, but it was boring as hell. I got about 30 minutes in to it and me that the woman bailed. There's no sense in wasting time after you've already wasted money.
Another movie that sucks is Adaptations. Maybe my blind hatred of Nick Cage is the reason I couldn't stand that movie, but it seems that alot of people liked it. I hated it. Terrible, useless, pointless movie. Plus Nick Cage. I want to kill him personally.

I just remember really looking forward to it and then being disappointed when I finally saw it. Maybe I was expecting too much.

I'm a Nick Cage fan, but I agree with you, Adaptation is one of his worst movies.
Oh, I'd also like to give honourable mention to Across The Universe for worst movie ever. Mamma Mia was equally as bad, but it knew it and didn't try to portray itself as deep and artistic.
My favorite quote about Across The Universe goes something like "the sappy musical excursion through the '60s with a Beatles-free soundtrack of Beatles songs". Too true.

Nicolas Cage has done a lot worse than Adaptation(for the record, I loved Adaptation)......like
The Wicker Man
Bangkok Dangerous
Next
Captain Corelli's Mandolin
The Weather Man
Windtalkers
Amos and Andrew
....and this list is from a guy who likes Nicolas Cage a lot, but these films were just trash, and those are the ones I could think of off the top of my head.

Ghost Rider.....Absolutely terrible. Me and my friends went to see 300 but there wasnt enough tickets left for all of us so we switched them to ghost rider and man......I almost threw up it was so bad
The Number 23 has to be the worst movie ever made. Ranks up there as one of Jim Carrey's funniest movies. One of the most ridiculous films I've ever seen.
I mean, any movie with the opening line of "You can call me Fingerling" you just know is going to be good.
what was that awful Tom Green movie a few years ago? Freddy Got Fingered. Absolutely unwatchable.
As for a movie that's so cheesy it's great, how about an old Arnie classic: Commando. It's great just from the body count alone. The one liners put it over the top.

amen to that.....The Running Man also fits that category.
Austin Powers 3, BLurgh, horrible garbage movie. I walked out of it and went to Reign of Fire. And even thought Reign was not great, it was 1000x better than Austin Powers....
Gah, I get angry thinking about that movie.
That new spike lee movie is pretty horrible too...
My sister and I have taken to watching the really horrible movies that they show on Space on Friday nights. We've seen some truly horrible movies that were so bad they were funny. Here are a few:
Sabretooth (technically a made for tv movie but still horrible!)
Basically it's about a government project genetically made sabretooth tiger that gets released into the wild and ends up killing everyone. The special effects were horrible, the tiger would change from CGI to some of the worst animatronics I've ever seen. It was hilarious!
It stars Christopher Plummer and is about a group of students who are cleaning up a haunted theatre where one of the student's mothers was murdered. It has a really horrible clown in it and some pretty grusome deaths but was horribly acted and the end was terrible.
I haven't seen the original, but the sequel is about a bunch of College guys who have a bet to hook up with as many girls as they can but end up getting pick off by a bunch of alien girls who need to reproduce and can only live in the cold. Another badly acted movie where you can't help but laugh.
This one doesn't even take place at Prom but has some crazy killer Monk going on a rampage, stalking two couples who go to a cabin on prom night. Such a horrible movie!
So, in conclusion, stay away from Friday night movies on Space, unless you really like to watch horrible horror movies that are more comedy than frightening!
