Dishonorable mentions: "Chronicle" and "Mirror Mirror"
5. Casa de mi Padre
The novelty of Will Farrell speaking Spanish is gone before the first scene ends. Then it just becomes a horrible attempt at a cleverly written and acted spoof of Spanish Language films of the 1970s.
4. Lincoln
An actor's dream film. A viewer's worst nightmare. The film consists of a series of Oscar baited monologues from well known actor after well known actor to the point of complete annoyance. Even the brilliant Daniel Day-Lewis couldn't turn the horribly written dialogue into something fascinating. And then there's Sally Field's horrible performance...
3. On the Road
Everything about this film is a mess. It's not engaging (especially Kristen Stewart's performance) and it just rambles on and on with no focus or point. Garrett Hedlund delivers a solid performance as Dean, but it's doomed simply by being surrounded by everything else in this film.
2. The Dictator
Sacha Baron Cohen needs to go back to his improvised mocumentaries because clearly scripted comedy is not his thing. This film is one of the most boring, unfunny comedies I have seen in years.
1. The Comedy
Hipsters rejoice! Your prophet has arrived! In a horrible ironic twist..."The Comedy" is a strict drama. However, it is so much more than that. It is the most pretentious, boring, aimless, dreadful film ever made. There is absolutely nothing going for this film. The characters are all boring, one dimensional, pricks with no redeeming quality. There is no story. There is no...nothing. It's no shocker that this film only had a 20 page treatment going into production.
And there you have it. Let's hope in 2013 I have a harder time coming up with this list.
