Hey! I want that 2 hours of my life back!

Here we list movies that are not worth your time, let alone your money to see.

Ok, I'm a sucker for cheesy love stories. I actually liked "The Prince & Me". So when I saw there was a sequal, I (like an idiot) watched it. Now, if you saw the first one, Julia Styles was witty, said what she wanted, and had a major backbone. The girl who played the same character in the sequal was what you get if you crossed Jessica Simpson's IQ with a Barbie doll's personality.

So, DO NOT see "The Prince & Me 2". My only condolance is that it was a free rent with my Hollywood Video membership.

I might get ripped on for these, but...

Singles
Coyote Ugly

And my little would say the It's Pat movie.

I probably would have not minded CU if I was watching it with a killer hangover and a bunch of friends...however, I viewed it alone and sober.

I used to work at a movie theater, and when we would build the movies, we'd have to watch them to make sure they were done right. I've wasted so many hours of my life...but these were the worst!

Kung Pow
City by the Sea

Three words: Straight To Video. It basically means that the movie is no good.

I loved "Singles"...when I was 12.

My problem is that I don't watch a lot of TV, but I love to rent movies. So unless a movie is extremely hyped, I couldn't tell you if it went straight to video or if it was in the theater first. Unless there's some sort of indicator on the box.

I know I'm going to get backlash for this one:

Napoleon Dynamite

I was sitting there, the entire movie thinking "OK, this has the potential to get funny ANY minute now. Anytime there just going to throw a zinger out there and it will be hilarious". And then all of the sudden, the credits start rolling and I think "What just happened here?"

Sky High but in my defense I was home alone & bored so I figured I'd watch something I had not watched before. By the time it was done, I was stupefied by the entire thing so I went to bed early rather than waste more time of my life on lame movies.

I completely agree! I was just like, no one is this weird...except those weird kids I made fun of in high school. I'm all for individualism, but I didn't know people really chose to be that odd. I loved how all these girls were like I love Napoleon, he's so cool, but would make fun of a guy like that in real life.

Maybe I was too sober, but I just kind of sat there and thought, wow, this is not funny.

Kicking and Screaming with Will Ferrell. Normally I like most of his movies, but this one was just awful.

Glitter ~ I watched it on tv when there was NOTHING else on. It was horrible and a total waste of my time. I should have just done something productive...like play computer games.

Hanging Up ~ unbelievably boring, my roommate and I only watched like half of it before we had to turn it off

that's all i can think of right now...i'm sure there's many more

The Cutting Edge 2.

Yes, I knew it was a made for TV movie. Yes, I knew Moira Kelly & DB Sweeney weren't in it.

It was like a train wreck, I didn't want to watch but I had to.
