Dishonorable Mentions:
Justin Bieber: Never Say Never – A concert movie which precious little insight into life, love, Justin or even music for that matter.
Four Times, The (Le Quattro Volte) – A film only a film student could love … or make
Mars Needs Moms – If you’re gonna make a screenplay from the works of Berkeley Breathed, couldn’t you choose Bloom County?
Alvin and the Chipmunks: Chip-wrecked — Call the exterminator
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Part I — Call the bigger exterminator
Born to be Wild – Call a poacher
Paranormal Activity 3 – Call a Ghostbuster
Transformers 3 – Call an electrician
The Future — is so dull, I gotta wear shades go next door and see another film
Spy Kids: All the Time in the World – And yet, life remains too short to watch this one even once.
I Don’t Know How She Does It – Are there people who identify with Sarah Jessica Parker? Who are you and would you please stop?
Conan the Barbarian – this remake was Phonan it in.
Go for It! – OK, I will! Let’s leave the theater now!
And now … why not the worst?
10. From Prada to Nada — At some point, I’d like to get an actual spycam placed in the 
tomb of Jane Austen. When she discovers one of her masterpieces interpreted as the cinematic equivalent of a Jack-in-the-Box taco, will she actually spin in her grave? Despite the coup of creating the most cultured title since The Hottie and the Nottie (why didn’t Jane come up with that?), From Prada to Nada somehow finds a way to ruin a perfectly reasonable story about spoiled Latinas having to move from Beverly Hills to El Barrio. Luckily, there’s no shortage of condescension or stupidity in the screenplay. Unluckily, your teen daughter might like it anyway.
9. Zookeeper – the good news here is Kevin James only merited one bottom-10 film in 2011. The Dilemma merely sucked, but came up shy of an epic fail.
8. Aarakshan — Bollywood, fellas, seriously, can you get an English phonetic dictionary before you pass these titles along? It would take, like, five minutes. Ten tops. Or just 
stop a random American and see if he giggles hysterically upon hearing the title of your film.
7. El Gran Milagro — If you know what this is, lo siento mucho. Mucho, mucho, mucho.
6. Courageous — One of the new brand of ultra-Jesus entertainment prompts the question, “if God really and truly loves me, why would He let me see this film?” Guess it’s all part of the master plan.
5. Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star – It’s not just porn! It’s funny porn! Or in this case, neither.
4. Jack and Jill – went to the mall/to fetch a bucket of laughter/Jack did drag/saw smiles sag/ and the audience left shortly after
3. Madea’s Big Happy Family – possibly the worst Tyler Perry movie I’ve ever seen. Oh 
wait, I forgot about Madea’s Family Reunion … and Why Did I Get Married? … and Meet the Browns … and … Ok, it’s possibly the worst Tyler Perry movie I saw last year.
2. The Tree of Life – A lot of people say they didn’t understand Tree of Life. I was among them, but after intense reflection, I am proud to say I understand. Terrence Malick hates fans of film and this is his clever way of making us all pay.
1. Atlas Shrugged – because sometimes you don’t just want to make a bad film. You want to make a preachy bad film and a preachy bad film with an obnoxious “fuck the poor” message to boot. It’s possible Ayn Rand is also spinning around in Jane Austen’s grave right now, too. Except I think the makers here succeeded in exactly one thing – getting her tone right.
