There are a lot of bad movies out there \u2013 some are even considered the worst of all time<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a>. Some movies are so bad\u2026but just so good<\/span>. I don\u2019t know what it is, but these movies have a certain quality that makes them enjoyable despite their quality (or lack thereof).<\/p>\n

As you may have discovered by now, I rate every movie I see on IMDb. In scrolling through my ratings, I was surprised to discover several of the ones I enjoyed are rated very low by other users and critics. I\u2019m not saying I think they deserve to be on IMDb\u2019s top 250 lis<\/strong>t<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, but I also don\u2019t think they deserve to be below a five-star rating (which I simplify to a two-star rating on my reviews and movies of the day).<\/p>\n

Here are some of my favorite guilty pleasures. Some of these are also on my list of underrated films<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Losin<\/span><\/span>\u2019 It <\/span><\/span>(<\/span><\/span>198<\/span><\/span>2<\/span><\/span>)<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

My brother and I watched this film repeatedly over the years. I think we recorded it from an airing on Comedy Central. My brother found a copy on DVD, which I\u2019m sure he still cherishes since it\u2019s no longer available. This film is a true laugh-riot starring Tom Cruise and Shelley Long in their early days.<\/p>\n

Maximum Overdrive <\/span><\/span>(1986)<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

This film is a must-see, solely because Stephen King directed it. I can\u2019t think of many authors who are given the opportunity to direct a movie based on their works. Unfortunately, King has said he will never direct another film again because of how this one turned out. This is no masterpiece, but it\u2019s still a fun movie.<\/p>\n

Emilio Estevez stars as a cook in a roadside diner when the world goes through a strange phenomenon. Every man-made machine (cars, kitchen appliances, arcade games, you name it) turns against mankind and tries to murder anyone nearby.<\/p>\n

Sure, the plot is silly, but this film is simply fun \u2013 it\u2019s hard to dislike.<\/p>\n

Loose Cannons <\/span><\/span>(1990)<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
\"loose
Loose Cannons (1990). TriStar Pictures.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tell me you\u2019ve put Gene Hackman and Dan Aykroyd together in a film, and I\u2019m sold. Despite a ridiculously implausible plot, this film still makes me laugh. Hackman and Aykroyd are two cops searching for a sex film featuring\u2026ahem\u2026Adolf Hitler. They don\u2019t want to see it, mind you. They\u2019re simply trying to keep it away from a bunch of German bad guys who don\u2019t want it out in the open (why this should exist in the first place is beyond me, but I digress).<\/p>\n

The Germans think they can outsmart the cops, but with Hackman\u2019s tough guy attitude and Aykroyd\u2019s multiple personalities, they have another thing coming. I think Hackman and Aykroyd have great chemistry in this film. It doesn\u2019t deserve all the negativity it received.<\/p>\n

Nothing But Trouble <\/span><\/span>(1991)<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
\"nothing
Nothing But Trouble (1991). Warner Bros.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Speaking of Dan Aykroyd, here is another film of his that is not that bad. He still makes me laugh as a centenarian judge who lives in a run-down mansion full of lost artifacts and booby traps.<\/p>\n

Chevy Chase and Demi Moore stand before the judge because of a minor traffic infraction but end up staying the night with Judge Valkenheiser (Aykroyd) and his weird family. It\u2019s like a comedic version of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre<\/span><\/em> (1974), though I promise this film isn\u2019t as disturbing. It\u2019s a lot of fun!<\/p>\n

The Flintstones <\/span><\/span>(1994)<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
\"the
The Flintstones (1994). Universal Pictures.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I can\u2019t imagine anyone being a better live-action Fred Flintstone than John Goodman. Mark Addy is a great actor, but his performance as Fred in the sequel couldn\u2019t hold a candle to Goodman\u2019s.<\/p>\n

The universal negativity regarding this film is beyond me. I thought it was a treat for fans of the original cartoon. I suppose many didn\u2019t care for the plot about Fred earning a promotion at the quarry he works in, only to become a scapegoat for the schemes of his superior (Kyle MacLachlan). I\u2019m sure this storyline was meant to appeal to the adults who brought their kids to the theater \u2013 adults who were the original childhood audience of the cartoon. I\u2019m glad it still did well at the box office.<\/p>\n

Street Fighter <\/span><\/span>(1994)<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
\"street
Street Fighter (1994). Universal Pictures.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This film was over-the-top, but in a fun way. Raul Julia shone as General Bison in a performance rife with overacting. Jean Claude Van Damme couldn\u2019t shake his native Belgian-French accent to play Colonel Guile, who has the American flag tattooed on his shoulder.<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t expect movies based on video games to be incredible, but so much about Street Fighter<\/span> is entertaining. I think the movie had the production value of what could be a great film, unlike Super Mario Bros. <\/span><\/em>(1993).<\/p>\n

Wagons East <\/span><\/span>(1994)<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
\"wagons
Wagons East (1994). Carolco Pictures.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I talked about Wagons East<\/span> in my list of underrated films<\/span>, but my opinion on it hasn\u2019t changed. This film may not have been one of the classic John Candy comedies such as Planes, Trains, & Automobiles<\/span><\/em> (1987) and Uncle Buck <\/span><\/em>(1989), but it\u2019s still teeming with hilarious scenes.<\/p>\n

Every critic panned this film, as it has a 0% Rotten Tomatoes score. Candy sadly passed away late in the production. As sad as I am that Candy is gone, at least he didn\u2019t have to deal with a career downturn and rebound. This film was intentionally silly \u2013 certainly not as bad as critics made it seem. Candy\u2019s performance, as always, was outstanding.<\/p>\n

Operation Dumbo Drop <\/span><\/span>(1995)<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
\"operation
Operation Dumbo Drop (1995). Walt Disney Pictures.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ray Liotta and Danny Glover play two American soldiers in Vietnam who must escort an elephant across enemy lines. I think of this film as a good way to put an actual historical event in a story for all ages \u2013 a Disney film set in Vietnam.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve read that Liotta and Glover only did the film for the money, but I\u2019m sure they still had fun making it. This film will always be special to me because it\u2019s the first one I watched with my wife when we were first dating.<\/p>\n

The <\/span><\/span>Stupids<\/span><\/span> (1996)<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
\"the
The Stupids (1996). New Line Cinema.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If I was tasked with defending this film to a panel or classroom, I would probably fail. I just can\u2019t help but like it. I\u2019ll admit that this film is a big step down for John Landis, who directed the comedy classics National Lampoon\u2019s Animal House<\/span><\/em> (1978), The Blues Brothers<\/span><\/em> (1980), and Oscar<\/span><\/em> (1991), but it has so many funny scenes and dialogue.<\/p>\n

Tom Arnold is Stanley Stupid, the patriarch of the Stupid family. As you may have guessed by now, the family lives up (or down?) to its name. They get in a huge pickle and lack the intelligence to overcome it, but it\u2019s entertaining to watch them try. I can still hear Tom Arnold singing \u201cI\u2019m My Own Grandpa,\u201d quite a clever song for someone with limited intelligence to improvise.<\/p>\n

Gone <\/span><\/span>Fishin<\/span><\/span>\u2019 <\/span><\/span>(1997)<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
\"gone
Gone Fishin’ (1997). Hollywood Pictures.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here is another film with Danny Glover, this time with Joe Pesci (no, not the Lethal Weapon <\/span><\/em>franchise). As the title implies, they are a couple of Average Joes that travel from their native New Jersey to the Florida Everglades for a fishing trip.<\/p>\n

I think Glover and Pesci\u2019s characters are very kind-hearted and funny. They mean no harm and only want to fish, but inadvertently end up on the bad side of a wanted criminal. This may not have been a well-made film, but it still makes me laugh.<\/p>\n

Krippendorf\u2019s Tribe <\/span><\/span>(1998)<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
\"krippendorf's
Krippendorf’s Tribe (1998). Touchstone Pictures.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Richard Dreyfuss will forever remain one of my favorite comedic actors. His best comedic performances are in the Stakeout<\/span><\/em> movies and What About Bob? <\/span><\/em>(1991).<\/p>\n

In a comedy of errors, James Krippendorf is a renowned historian who receives a large grant to find a long-lost tribe, only he hasn\u2019t. When Krippendorf learns that he must provide tangible evidence of the tribe\u2019s existence, he comes up with one\u2026in his backyard. This film has many laughs and is worth checking out.<\/p>\n

Big Momma\u2019s House <\/span><\/span>(2000)<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
\"big
Big Momma’s House (2000). 20th Century Fox.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tootsie<\/span><\/em> (1982) and Mrs. Doubtfire<\/span><\/em> (1993) show how a man playing a woman can work in a comedy. While this film isn\u2019t as believable as those two, it still works.<\/p>\n

Martin Lawrence plays an FBI agent who must pose as the grandmother of an important witness to his case, with hilarious results. I wondered early on why the charade would fool anyone. Then I quickly forgot about it and enjoyed the film for its many hilarious scenes. Suspension of disbelief can be a marvelous thing.<\/p>\n

The Animal<\/span><\/span> (2001)<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
\"the
The Animal (2001). Columbia Pictures.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I\u2019m not usually a fan of Rob Schneider\u2019s solo work, but The Animal<\/span><\/em> works for me. It\u2019s enjoyable in many ways, primarily the hijinks involved in portraying Schneider as an animal in human form. Marvin Mange (unfortunate pun aside) is a cop involved in a deadly accident, saved by a mysterious stranger who \u201crebuilds\u201d him with spare animal parts.<\/p>\n

Mange then develops many animal characteristics, such as peeing on his date\u2019s chair to mark his territory. I also love the late Norm MacDonald\u2019s cameo as a hunter who has an endless list of questions for John C. McGinley\u2019s character. It makes me laugh every time!<\/p>\n

Stealing Harvard<\/span><\/span> (2002)<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
\"stealing
Stealing Harvard (2002). Columbia Pictures.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Nobody should make promises they can\u2019t keep. John Plummer (Jason Lee) should have thought of that when he promised to pay for his niece\u2019s college education. Years later, she is accepted into Harvard and Plummer doesn\u2019t have a way to pay for it \u2013 especially since he is trying to pay for his upcoming wedding. So, he and his buddy Duff (Tom Green) rob any place they can to get the money.<\/p>\n

I think this film has a funny plot, along with many memorable laughs. One of my favorites is when a police detective (again, John C. McGinley) slams his hands on his desk demanding that John and Duff leave his office\u2026but to please leave the door open. Such an underrated film.<\/p>\n

Envy<\/span><\/span> (2004)<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
\"envy
Envy (2004). DreamWorks Pictures.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ben Stiller and Jack Black are great together in this comedy about\u2026envy. Nick (Black) comes up with a spray that instantly makes dog poop vaporize, called Vapoorize. His best friend Tim (Stiller) instantly laughs off the idea and turns down a partnership with Nick. However, Nick\u2019s invention becomes an instant success and Tim couldn\u2019t be more envious.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s admittedly a silly premise, but it works. I love many of Tim and Nick\u2019s scenes together. One of my favorites is when Nick notices syrup on Tim\u2019s pants and swipes some off with his finger. Upon watching Nick lick his finger clean, Tim responds with \u201cDon\u2019t taste my pants.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause<\/span><\/span> (2006)<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
\"the
The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause (2006). Walt Disney Pictures.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This chapter in The Santa Clause<\/span><\/em> franchise got a lot of poor reviews, which I didn\u2019t think it deserved. Was it as good as the first one (or two)? No. But Tim Allen returns as Santa, and Martin Short joined the cast as Jack Frost, bringing a lot of charm to the film. Tim Allen and Martin Short are always wonderful together.<\/p>\n

I suppose most people didn\u2019t care for copying the oft-replicated plot device from It\u2019s a Wonderful Life <\/span><\/em>(1946): what would life have been like if something didn\u2019t happen? This film explores what would have happened if Scott Calvin didn\u2019t become Santa Claus. I think it\u2019s clever having one classic Christmas film<\/strong><\/span><\/a> referenced<\/span>\u00a0in another. I also think the critics were way too hard on The Santa Clause 3<\/span><\/em>.<\/p>\n

All About Steve <\/span><\/span>(2009)<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
\"all
All About Steve (2009). 20th Century Fox.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My expectations were low going into this film, but I enjoyed it. Sandra Bullock was hilarious and quite charming in this film, as she almost always is. I think stalker films are done to death, but this one was cute and funny. This feel-good comedy is likely to brighten your day.<\/p>\n

Left Behind<\/span><\/span> (2014)<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
\"left
Left Behind (2014). Entertainment One.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

To me, Christian films receive a lot of unnecessary flack. I don\u2019t know why audiences get put off by them. For example, films such as Courageous<\/span><\/em> (2011) and Overcomer<\/span><\/em> (2019) are well-written, acted, and directed, but cannot find the approval they deserve.<\/p>\n

Left Behind<\/span><\/em> is another story with a Christian allegory. It explores the world during the rapture, where all the people who have not accepted Jesus are left on earth. I think it\u2019s a good story regardless of my personal beliefs.<\/p>\n

The Ridiculous 6<\/span><\/span> (2015)<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
\"the
The Ridiculous 6 (2015). Netflix.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This film has a 0% on Rotten Tomatoes, which is far below what it deserves. It certainly doesn\u2019t qualify for a \u201cfresh\u201d rating, but it\u2019s a great comedy. Adam Sandler and his pals made an interesting and satisfying film \u2013 I still don\u2019t know what critics thought was so bad about it.<\/p>\n

Playing with Fire<\/span><\/span> (2019)<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n
\"playing
Playing with Fire (2019). Paramount Pictures.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I also had low expectations for this film, but I was pleasantly surprised. It is cute, heart-warming, and funny \u2013 enough so that my wife and I bought it on DVD immediately. John Cena plays the chief of a group of tough firefighters who can navigate their way out of any tough situation\u2026except one.<\/p>\n

The crew unexpectedly becomes guardians to three kids whose parents go missing. None of these guys know how to be parents or even how to change a diaper. Many hilarious results ensue, and I recommend this film to anyone looking for a decent family film to watch.<\/p>\n

Happy watching!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
