As everyone knows, nothing is worse than sitting through a bad movie.
It can be a painful, frustrating experience, especially when you’re trapped in a movie theater.
However, some movies are so terrible that they’re actually kind of fun.
When a movie is so bad it’s good, the watching experience can become pretty enjoyable.
After all, what’s more fun than laughing at a film’s terrible script or ridiculous plotline?
In 2003, “The Room” proved this point.
It even became a cult favorite (viaVox).

As Sandler told theIndependent, critics don’t always go for his films.

I got into it to make people laugh and have fun with my friends.”
If you like dumb slapstick humor, give this one a try.
This film starredHilary Duffand her sister,Haylie Duff, as wealthy sisters.

They’re a plague on our cinematic landscape, a national shame, a danger to our culture."
Ok, so the movie’s not too impressive.
You may remember him for hisOscar-winning performancein the 1997 film “Life Is Beautiful.”
However, his 2002 live-action version of “Pinocchio” wasn’t met with the same acclaim.
In fact, the film has a shocking 0% rating onRotten Tomatoes.
The general consensus seems to be that Benigni seriously misfired with this film.
But could there be something we’re missing?

We Italians loved it."

Onesaid, “While the mixture looks sweet, it goes down decidedly sour.”

While this is probably not the best rom-com out there, it’s not necessarily a bad pick.
After all, it stars some super-loved actresses.
You have to love the combo of Annie Hall, Lorelai Gilmore, and Rebecca Pearson!
Plus, Keaton herself gave the film her stamp of approval.
As she toldColliderat the time, “I just thought it was funny.”
We definitely suggest giving this movie a try, even if the critics turned up their noses at it.
Criticscalled this movie"predictable," “unpleasant,” and even “excruciating.”
However, we think this movie deserves a second chance.
Somewhat predictably, the pair fall in love.
Sounds like a silly setup we’re all in!
Staying Alive may be a misguided sequel, but why not give it a shot?
“Saturday Night Fever” is widely considered a classic.
Travolta presumably had hoped that “Staying Alive” would win him positive reviews.
He also thought that this older version of Tony was “more appealing.”
Maybe it’s time we gave this infamous sequel another try.
Look no further than the 1991 flick “Return to the Blue Lagoon.”
Another called it “one of the most misguided children’s films ever made.”
Their co-stars include Catherine Zeta-Jones, Judy Greer, and Uma Thurman.
It’s not agreatmovie.
You might lose some brain cells, but you’ll probably laugh at least once.
AnIMDb reviewerwrote of the film, “Hocus pocus is a timeless classic.
The perfect Halloween movie, a combination of minor scares, great laughs, and some killer costumes.
The most iconic three witches in all of Salem.
I rewatch this multiple times every Halloween season, and it only gets better.”
Simply put, the critics were wrong about this one.
It is too dark to be cheerful, and too gleefully nihilistic to be glum.
It is trashy, wonderful, endlessly quotable, and it was 20 years ahead of its time."
One IMDb reviewer wrote, “This is probably one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen.
Ah, good times.
Listen, “Vampires Suck” is not a good movie.
The jokes are low-brow; the acting is subpar at best.
But the reason it’s on this list is because it is so awful that it becomes funny.
So, all in all, we’d say it’s worth watching.
Without, of course, being any good” (via Rotten Tomatoes).
“Space Jam” isn’t going to be for everyone.
Critics claim the movie is essentially Michael Jordan promotion, and it very well may be.
But it’s also a fun, nostalgic favorite for many.
However, something went really, really wrong with 1999’s “Mod Squad.”
Something went so wrong, in fact, that it has a mere 3% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
However, not all is lost.
But, don’t worry, after a while, you’ll just stop caring."
Critics called the movie “torture porn,” claiming that its violence and gore were excessive and gratuitous.
OneLetterboxdreviewer wrote, “This is just such a joy to watch.
One of those films you watch and then want to live.
This twisted movie centers around rich teens with a lot of deviousness and sexual tension.
Renowned film criticRoger Eberteven called the movie “smart and merciless.”
OneLetterboxdreviewer described “Cruel Intentions” as follows: “half the budget going to bitter sweet symphony?
[This movie] gave birth to private school rich-girl tropes and not many can touch her!”
We have to agree.
But you’re not watching “Baywatch” for the script or the plot.
You’re watching for abs, bikinis, and some action-y fun.
Anything with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson deserves more than that.
Overall, we’d say this one is worth watching just maybe not every Christmas.
