Basically, what the subject^ says (though I had to shorten it because it wouldn't all fit):
What was the worst movie you watched because an actor or actress who you liked from Buffy the Vampire Slayer (or Angel) was in it?
Without a doubt, for me, it was (and still remains) Cruel Intentions 2.
Jack Sparrow: "Look." [shoots the monkey] "An undead monkey! Top that!"
The BtVS Actress: Alyson Hannigan
The Movie: Date Movie
My Eyes: Bleeding from how horrible every bit of it was
I honestly put that movie on my top 10 list of "Were you even trying??" It was one of the Harolds of the "Parody is Dead" apocalypse. The jokes weren't just bad, they were DATED. The acting was beyond subpar. Was there a plot? I mean, not all comedies need a good plot but they still have to have one!!
Demon Island with Nicholas Brendon was fun, popcorn thriller compared to Date Movie. The Grudge with SMG was Oscar worthy compared to Date Movie. Ice Princess with Michelle Trachtenberg was the heartfelt tale of the century compared to Date Movie. Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the Thirteenth with Julie Benz AND Danny Strong was a comedic masterpiece compared to Date Movie. Date Movie almost made me skip "How I Met Your Mother" out of fear it was all Alyson Hannigan's fault.
Date Movie is a fate worse than death...
Probably doesn't count but following Emma Caulfield on Twitter, the naive Buffy fan that I was back then.
That was (is?) one bitter, bitter cookie. I can't help but enjoy seeing her projects bomb one after another.
SMG; Simply Irresistible . Southland Tales was entertaining, a mess but entertaining.
Nic; Fire Serpent
Ally; Date Movie, so bad I didn't finish it and that's rare for me.
CC; Forget it's name but she played an evil twin, it was beyond parody.
Amber; Gryphon
ED; Open Graves, couldn't finish it.
Marc Blucas; The Alamo
Don't believe I've ever watched a movie due to a Buffy actor.
It's nice to meet the other person who has seen Cruel Intentions 2, though.

There was a relationship comedy "Chicks, Man!" with Robia LaMorte as one of a few girls involved. She was easily the most accomplished actor in the bunch, everyone else seemed like they were in an acting school project. She also looked out of place in a field of post-collegiate types (and I mean that in the best way possible for her).
This movie was merely unexceptional and surely not in the league of outright badness some of these movies on this thread sound like - sounds like I've dodged a hail of bullets.
That's a hard one but some that come to mind are
American Pie
Harvard Man
Suburban Girl
Survival Island
Valentine
Shadow Puppets
PS I Love You

I liked Suburban Girl, interesting DVD commentary where the director says he knew SMG was Buffy but never realised her vast fanbase and was shocked when 100s of people turned up to watch her film.
shareOne goofy 80s comedy "My Stepmother is an Alien" just didn't do it for me. I can enjoy a goofy 80s comedy certainly, but this one just clunked when it should have rang. Don't know why, either, good cast - Dan Ackroyd, Kim Basinger, Jon Lovitz - and predictably, a preteen Aly Hannigan was freaking adorable. A scene with her going on a date with a young Seth Green put this movie on the BtVS radar.
shareBUMP!
shareDemon Island as well. It was bad, but in a good way.
