Welcome back to the MFC. We took a week off for Thanksgiving and in that time Mama Mia had plenty of opportunity to think up our next fight. As a result, this week centers on movies we love to hate on. Mama Mia’s question: Name a movie so dreadful that you would actually go out of your way to tell someone just how horrible it is?
I guess I have to go with my old standby 2001: A Space Odyssey. It's boring, weird, and overrated. The 15-minute vanity project Stargate sequence is a travesty for those who make it that far and the ending is not only unsatisfying, it's incoherent.
2010 was a good sequel though, way better than its predecessor.
Mamma Mia comes to mind. Sorry...no offense meant. We did not need an entire movie to flout all those Abba songs that I didn't listen to in the 70's. Pierce Brosnan and Colin Firth both lost a little of my respect after participating in this wedding video fiasco.
Not a fan and no need to feel bad or to be sorry! I've never seen Mamma Mia and pretty sure I don't want to. Thank you for the heads up about all the ABBA songs... hard pass. It sounds like a truly dreadful movie (and on that note, you get my vote).
Emma. The one that ends with a period in the title, ruins a great proposal with a bloody nose that some idiot must’ve thought would be “artistic,” and gives an awkward and cringy butt shot of Mr. Knightley, the most noble character in the whole story. SO MUCH WRONG. Blech. Shudder. Blankety blank.
The Breakfast Club. I've only seen it once and it really rubbed me the wrong way. People praise this movie like it is one of the great films of the 80s.

Oooh, that's kinda awkward.

Sorry. I feel bad. Are you a big fan?

As a rule, I am not a fan of sequels, but there is one that really out-bombs all the others... The Lost World: Jurassic Park. Gymnastics, realllly?!?!
