At the end of the year we often see piles of lists. I even posted my own and John and Doug have theirs. I love lists. Mostly because they claim ultimate superiority on the topic and yet they are guaranteed to dissatisfy just about everyone who reads them. Thats cool.
Lindsay Lohan has given the worst performance of the year by an actress in “I Know Who Killed Me” according to a poll conducted by Moviefone. 58% of 3.8 million votes voted for Lindsay. John Travolta was in 2nd place for playing a chick in “Hairspray.”
Eddie Murphy was voted as the worst performance by an actor for “Norbit.” He got 46% of the votes.
Personally, I liked Travolta as a chick in Hairspray. I was pleasantly surprised with Hairspray, and convincingly pleased with Travolta as Mrs Turnblad. I think it was kinda creepy, but surely not something to be considered among the worst performances.
Lindsay Lohan nailing the top bad performance in a film doesn’t surprise me. I know she is trying to stretch into different roles as she has the light fluffy Disney flick routine down pat. I think she should stick to those movies as those are the ones in which I actually like her. There have been a few when she has stepped into some mild drama, but that is ok. Not even seeing her slinky form stripping on stage was enough to make people go see this movie.
Much of these “worst” lists are heavily subjective since a lot of things that qualify for the worst are among those things you just didn’t bother to see. Both Norbit and Lohan as a Stripper were movies that I didn’t bring myself to go see, so I can’t say I can really back their opinions, but I can’t deny them either. I wasn’t inspired to see them, and perhaps I dodged the bullet, but someone did.
So what would you put on your list as the worst (that you have seen)?
