Worst. Movie.Ever

I saw this movie at an independent film festival a few months ago and I literally cringed while watching it. Waiting for the movie to finish felt like a lifetime and all I wanted to do was walk out of the theater. I resisted, with the small flicker of hope that the next scene would get better. I mean, common, the reviews were saying it was great and the trailer looked funny. I waited and waited for something funny ( that I hadn't already laughed about while watching trailer) to come on screen, but it never did. The humor was dry, the characters developed in a manner that left too much unanswered and the whole movie just blew

Really? LITERALLY the worst movie ever? You NEVER in your life saw a movie worse than this?

[–] Primeval_Scum 13 years ago

lmao, I was thinking the same thing. Even if someone hated this movie, by no stretch of the imagination could this be the worst ever. not even close.

I did see it, I thought it was a real stinker, and can honestly say it's been a while since I saw a worse movie. That said, it's also been a while since I've seen mst3k, so, no, this is nowhere near the worst movie ever. Weed and popcorn could get me to force myself through this one in one try no problem...Manos, on the other hand, took lots of booze, several friends and three tries WITH mst3k. Not the worst movie ever.

I thought the movie was very good honestly. It was never meant to be a full out comedy nor an intense drama, and it ended being something rather original and definitely way better than most stupid, predictable and/or empty romantic comedies which have the misfortune of getting released every year. Cyrus has a very familiar premise, of course, but the way it unfolds and the clever, sensible dialogues delivered by the cast greatly elevate the film. The characters played very effectively by Jonah Hill, Marisa Tomei and John C.Reilly are anything but one-dimensional, and you end up being truly attached to all of them, however flawed they are.

How old are you? This movie was brilliant!
I guess you might be able to in part blame the trailer if it made it out to be some mad comedy, which it isn't.

Even if you hate Uwe Boll, give Postal a try, be offended or entertained.

Surely it cant be as bad as Norbet or as unfunny as Faliure To Laugh - i mean Launch!

[–] Ambrosia-I 14 years ago

"Failure To Laugh" - that's very funny! The new title I mean, not the film, which I didn't fancy seeing, not being a particular fan of either of the main actors.

I went to see "Cyrus" today because there wasn't much else on. I didn't expect to enjoy it because I heard from a review that it was "mumblecore". I'd never heard of mumblecore before this and, from the description, it sounded like it might not be my kind of thing. But I really enjoyed the film much more more than I expected. The humour was gentle rather than laugh-out-loud hilarious, but I thought the cast were all very good and Jonah Hill was touching as the son.

I just love how there seem to be about a Million "Worst. Movie Ever" or posts that is. Anyone with a computer and a few minutes to waste seems to be a critic.

Idiots like yourself, lose all credibility with statements like yours. You have been moved to the wastebin, with the other detritus amongst the ranks of the unimportant, never to be seen or heard of again.
