I know you think you might have seen the worst movie ever... but you are wrong. I say this with the confidence of someone that has a pension for stupid movies.

Dumb and Dumberer

Seen all of those...

You guys aren't even close.

Dumb and Dumberer puts them all to shame. At the end of every scene, you get the feeling the actors and the crew walked away in shame.

Anyone not giving it it's due credit... just hasn't seen it.

"Wax: or the discovery of television among the bees".

Worst. Movie. Ever.

The only reason it doesn't get a -5 on IMDB is that people must be voting ironically for it. It is truly bad bad bad bad.

I haven't seen Kangaroo Jack... but I get the feeling that yes, it is worse.

Same database gave dumb and dumberer a 3.9 to wax's 4.5. Kangaroo Jack did get a 2.8 animal.

Still gonna have to go with it as worst ever!

Don't know if you heard about / saw it but Jim Carey was a guest on a British chat show a week or so ago, the Jonathon Ross show.

Dumb and dumberer was mentioned, Ross said he'd heard it sucked to which Carey stood up and celebrated.

I saw bits of that show Swoop. The fawning of Ross over Carrey made me want to puke; he ain't that funny.

Worst film in a serious kind of way was Catch-22... awful casting, awful ham-fisted acting.

Worst film I've seen in recent times would have to be that Father Fingered Freddy crap. Truly awful.

Of course Pearl Harbour ranks up there. As does Titanic. Although the Titanic sinking sequence redeems it somewhat.

Unless you're saying "Dumb and Dumberer" is the worst movie ever, you are quite simply wrong.

All movies have bad casting to some extent. Bad acting too. But at least they have some kind of redeaming value. Catch-22 had numerous funny moments. The Holy Grail has numerous bad moments in it. But at least you can point to them and laugh/ridicule then get on with the movie.

Dumb and Dumberer had zero redeaming value. Zero. I am a lesser person for having seen it... and I've never said that about any movie.

Catch-22 murders the funny moments compared to how they are written in the book. It should never have been even attempted with that cast; in particular, Yossarian is played by a 35+ y/old when in the book he's in his early twenties. It was completely unconvincing - as WW2 aviation buffs, you'll know that officers of Yossarian's rank were typically 20 years old.

But I'm biased because I think Catch-22 is one of the best books ever written.
