The Pulitzer Prize–winning film critics offers up more reviews of horrible films.
Roger Ebert awards at least two out of four stars to most of the more than 150 movies he reviews each year. But when the noted film critic
does
pan a movie, the result is a humorous, scathing critique far more entertaining than the movie itself.
I Hated, Hated, Hated This Movie
is a collection of more than 200 of Ebert’s most biting and entertaining reviews of films receiving a mere star or less from the only film critic to win the Pulitzer Prize. Ebert has no patience for these atrocious movies and minces no words in skewering the offenders.
Witness:
Armageddon
* (1998)—The movie is an assault on the eyes, the ears, the brain, common sense, and the human desire to be entertained. No matter what they’re charging to get in, it’s worth more to get out.
The Beverly Hillbillies
* (1993)—Imagine the dumbest half-hour sitcom you’ve ever seen, spin it out to ninety-three minutes by making it even more thin and shallow, and you have this movie. It’s appalling.
North
no stars (1994)—I hated this movie. Hated hated hated hated hated this movie. Hated it. Hated every simpering stupid vacant audience-insulting moment of it. Hated the sensibility that thought anyone would like it. Hated the implied insult to the audience by its belief that anyone would be entertained by it.
Police Academy
no stars (1984)—It’s so bad, maybe you should pool your money and draw straws and send one of the guys off to rent it so that in the future, whenever you think you’re sitting through a bad comedy, he could shake his head, chuckle tolerantly, and explain that you don't know what bad is.
Dear God
* (1996)—
Dear God
is the kind of movie where you walk out repeating the title, but not with a smile.
The movies reviewed within
I Hated, Hated, Hated This Movie
are motion pictures you’ll want to distance yourself from, but Roger Ebert’s creative and comical musings on those films make for a book no movie fan should miss.
