Summer Tomatometer Wrap-up #4: The Worst of the Summer
Over the past few days, we've tried to counter the common misconception that this summer's cinematic fare was bereft of quality. However, that doesn't mean the season was without some stinkers, at least critically speaking.
The most rotten movie of the summer was "Supercross: The Movie," which won praise from two percent of the critics. "Undiscovered," the title of which was often used derisively in reviews, stood at four percent. Rounding out the top five were "The Perfect Man" (six percent) "Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo" (10 percent), and "Honeymooners" (12 percent). The most rotten limited release of the summer was the Aussie slasher flick "Undead."
Here's the 20 most rotten films of the summer, in ascending order:
2% -- Supercross: The Movie
4% -- Undiscovered
6% -- The Perfect Man
10% -- Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo
12% -- Honeymooners
13% -- Stealth
14% -- Rebound
14% -- The Cave
17% -- Monster-In-Law
17% -- The Dukes of Hazzard
20% -- The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl in 3D
23% -- House of Wax
23% -- Valiant
23% -- Undead
25% -- Bewitched

on Oct 07 2005 07:33 AM I've heard from various people that Fantastic Four is tolerable, even somewhat fun, if you accept it for what it is: a goofy, dopey superhero movie not to be taken too seriously. I'll probably watch it on DVD. (Reply to this) |

on Oct 07 2005 01:15 PM In reply to this comment (#826478) I actually enjoyed House of Wax, I loved the campy horror and it actuallly had some cool effects and a few scares. It was better than any horror movie this year and I dont know why it got a low score. I also thought Dukes of Hazzard was good although I am a big fan of the shows re-runs. (Reply to this) |
![]() on Oct 07 2005 01:19 PM In reply to this comment (#826479) Same here. It was at least technically well-made. Goes well with a big bag of popcorn and coke. (Reply to this) |
![]() on Oct 07 2005 04:07 PM [b]omg[/b] Dukes of Hazzard could not of possibly done better.. In that way... This is the best it could reach in the TomatoMeter.... theres no way it could of gotten higher. I do not agree that House of Wax was the scariet horror flick this year. There were many good ones, if not, weird ones. 1. The Devils Rejects 2. High Tension And other that were somewhat better. (Reply to this) |

on Oct 08 2005 02:34 AM I believe Fantastic Four was the highest grosser on this list. I still say it wasn't bad, just uninspired. A good rehash of an old formula. (Reply to this) |

on Oct 08 2005 11:46 PM In reply to this comment (#826479) i completely agree with Sportswitz. House of wax was a good movie in my opinion and i believe that if one person finds a movie worthwhile then whose to say its crap? exactly- balding old virginal film critics with no life, no friends and a failed film career for themselves.
