I love lists. So subjective, and they generate so much discussion. Anyway, the folks over at the AV Club have put up a solid little list they’ve called the 10 directors you didn’t know you hated”. HAHA! Good title.
Anyway, here are the director THEY list (remember… this isn’t my list… but for the most part I agree with it). I won’t give you their great commentary, you can go read it for yourself if you’d like.
1. Tom Shadyac (Evan Almighty, Patch Adams)
2. Adam Shankman (The Wedding Planner, A Walk To Remember, Bringing Down The House, Cheaper By The Dozen 2)
3. Brian Robbins (Wild Hogs, Norbit, The Shaggy Dog, Summer Catch, Hard Ball)
4. Dennis Dugan (Problem Child, Big Daddy, National Security, The Benchwarmers)
5. Brian Levant (Problem Child 2, Flintstones 1 and 2, Snow Dogs)
6. Steven Brill (Little Nicky, Mr. Deeds, Without A Paddle)
7. Peter Hyams (End Of Days, Relic)
8. Steve Oedekerk (Kung Pow! Enter The Fist, Barnyard, Ace Ventura 2)
9. Raja Gosnell (Home Alone 3, Scooby Doo 1 and 2, Big Momma’s House)
10. Shawn Levy (Just Married, Pink Panther (Steve Martin), Night At The Museum)
So there you have it. Who else would you add to that list?
