Love Deja Vu - another one of those flicks if I see it on the guide regardless of where it is in the movie I'll turn it on.
OT: worst movie you paid money to see in a theatre:
- Thread starter Swervin27
- Start date
From an old guy--"The Blob". A grade "C" late 1950's or early 60's horror flick. This big mass of clear jello engulfed people like an amoeba and digested them. It was notable for having starred Steve McQueen before he became famous.
Jennifer's Body. The problem was you never actually see Jennifer's body. False advertising
In other news, I can't believe someone said three amigos. That is an all time classic and one of the funniest movies of my lifetime. "Then we raped the horses and rode off on the women. And pruned the hedges of many small villages"

I have seen well over 500 movies at the movie theater. I have walked out of one. "Pretty in Pink"
Its been a long time since I ever walked out of a theater for a bad movie, we can thank Red Box for that 
But I saw a real one with my young fiancee at the time it was called "Defending your Life" Meryl Streep and Albert Brooks (1991)
I thought, It was Meryl Streep's real low moment in her otherwise stellar career to that point. Maybe we were just too young to really grasp it.

I would say Deadpool, but my brother paid for it. The worst I saw was The Blair Witch one, and the only one we walked out of was Single White Female, but mostly because my girlfriend wanted to leave, but I agreed it was awful.
The list of bad movies I paid to see is long though, when you are on a date and just wanting to see whatever, usually that is going to be bad.

once and only once did I go to the movies without knowing what movie id' see. ended up seeing some life aquatic movie with Bill Murray. Love bill murray and actually liked the movies that this director did previously.. and it was painful. Actually hurt me, watching this. Do you know how bad a movie has to be to have bill murray in it and it not be funny? Pretty damn bad..
How pathetic, even as a teen it would be lame to take a girl to see howard the duck. Nuff said.

Another vote for "Joe Versus the Volcano".
Add to it:
"Moment by Moment" - supposed to be a romantic drama, but they should've known better to try casting a love scene with John Travolta and....Lily Tomlin??? (Mike Tomlin would've brought more sex appeal to the role!) To demonstrate how bad that it was, I copied these review-gems from Wikipedia:
During filming of Moment by Moment, a Los Angeles magazine reported from the set at the time: "The chemistry between Tomlin and Travolta began to rival that between Menachem Begin and Yassar Arafat." A crew staff was also quoted saying: "Two weeks into the shooting on location in Malibu, there was nobody on the set that didn't know we were in the middle of a turkey. It was like being on the voyage of the damned."
Two years after its release, Lily Tomlin said of the experience: "John and I were totally unprepared. We thought it was a sweet, small, lightly funny movie. We were not prepared for what others thought. It's the one thing that all performers live in fear of - total failure. And when it happens and you survive, I think you're probably in a much better place. It's made me less cautious. It made me place more importance on the experience of working with other artists than on the reaction of critics or the public."
"Death Race 2000" - a satirical movie that missed its mark. David Carradine & Sly Stallone mis-calculated this one badly. We walked-out early.
"Godfather III" - if only for the horrific casting. Having Sofia Coppola playing in the role that called for an Italian beauty was a terrible, terrible decision - and it successfully killed her acting career - what little career there was anyway. I'm a Godfather movie fanatic, but her role in the movie - by itself - ruined "Godfather III" for me.

Gonna have to say Howard the Duck seems like the winner, closely followed by Joe vs The Volcano.. Never thought it was possible to ruin a love scene with Leah Thompson either but then again, I never envisioned her partner would be a talking duck..
An annual Blob fest is held every year in Phoenixville PA at the Colonial Theater. Much of the film was shot in & around Phoenixville (the movie theater scenes) and Downingtown ( the diner location). You have to rethink your impression of this great film art! (wink wink)

I'm of Greek descent, and to me "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" was ABSOLUTE PURE GENIUS, but "Big Fat Greek Wedding 2", pretty much sucked, they could've done something original, all they did was rehash the best jokes from the 1st one so many times it wasn't funny anymore.
I cannot say "My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2" was the worst among the bad films that i've seen. But, it was very disappointing. Certainly, it was a very, very mediocre sequel to an amusing and fun original.
Mr Deeds some Costner thing... Walked out... Last night I saw for the first time on TV Catwoman with Halle Barry... Absurdly awful ... Bad bad very bad CGI... And it has Benjamin Brat... Which actually above all else should be the biggest red flag .. One of those dudes you see is going to be in a movie and you say "oh s#it...this is gonna suck"....
22 Jump street or maybe it was 21 Jump street. My son begged me to take him. to this day about those 2 hours of my life that were wasted
I thought 21 Jump Street was hilarious. 22 Jump street not as good but Ice Cube scenes were hysterical. But I am kind of shallow.....
Castaway was a pretty bad movie to see in theaters. Reasonably long at 2.5 hours; pretty much no dialogue at all. I mean it's a decent movie but more the type that you want to sit at home so you can get another beer during the many slow parts.
Agree 100 percent on the Wolf of Wall Street. Maybe the only time I've ever walked out of the theatre actually pissed that I wouldn't get those hours of my life back. Another movie that came out around the same time, American Hustle, was also a complete dud and a waste of money.
I was 11 or 12 years old at the time when my buddies and I decided to go to the theater to try to sneak in to see the hot rated R movie at the time. Ended up watching On Golden Pond. Another one on a date was Lorenzos Oil. I remember my head spinning how bad that was.
