Razzies recap: 'Miss March' faces competition for worst movie of the year
We are only five months into 2009 but there are already a slate of contenders for worst movie of the year as bestowed by the Razzie Awards. Those tongue-in-cheek kudos salute the dregs of filmmaking. The official list of less-than-notable achievements now numbers two dozen.
Among the lowlights of the year to date are "Angels & Demons," "Bride Wars," "Knowing," and "Pink Panther 2." And tomorrow sees the release of "What Goes Up," a Hilary Duff vehicle set against the backdrop of the Challenger space shuttle tragedy.
However, the tasteless teen comedy "Miss March" remains the worst-reviewed movie in contention. This first film from Zach Cregger and Trevor Moore — who share writing, directing and lead acting credits — reached a new low according to critics.
Cregger plays a man who comes out of a coma after four years to discover that his high school sweetheart is now a Playboy pinup. And Moore is his best friend along for the ride as he goes in search of her.
"Miss March" came in at a jaw-dropping zero among the top critics surveyed by Rotten Tomatoes. Even with the wider range of reviewers included in the overall score, the flick earned a score of only four. Over at Meta Critic, the movie managed to make it to seven.
By comparison, the two big "winners" at the recent 29th edition of the Razzie Awards — the Mike Myers vehicle "The Love Guru" and "The Hottie and the Nottie" starring Paris Hilton — were rated at 24 and seven respectively on Meta Critic.
Could 'Angels and Demons' bedevil Ron Howard with another Razzie nod?
