“Hook is in the mid-30s on Rotten Tomatoes... which is pure blasphemy.“

What are the chances of Matthew Perry and Bradley Whitford ever doing a live read of the "Studio 60" pilot in my kitchen while I eat dinner?

"I know this is a subjective question, but I'd like to know which movies you think have an unjustifiably low score/rating on these critic sites. Are there any films that you think are way better than their ratings online? Or even a film that commonly gets a lot of stick but is actually worth watching? Any examples would be appreciated, as I find I will automatically dismiss a film based on a rating rather than actually watching it and making up my own mind, in fear of wasting time watching it."

Logline: "When his young children are abducted by his old nemesis, Capt. Hook (Dustin Hoffman), middle-aged lawyer Peter Banning (Robin Williams) returns to his magical origins as Peter Pan. Peter must revisit a foggy past in which he abandoned Neverland for family life, leaving Tinkerbell (Julia Roberts) and the Lost Boys to fend for themselves. Given their bitterness toward Peter for growing up -- and their allegiance to their new leader, Rufio -- the old gang may not be happy to see him."

"Hook is in the mid-30s on Rotten Tomatoes, which is pure blasphemy."

Logline: "When he and his roommate can't pay their rent, video game creator Alex finds himself homeless and moves in with Lilly, his wacky grandmother. Lilly and her elderly pals like to hang out in front of the television all day, but their constant presence puts a damper on Alex's social life and pot smoking. Alex wants to court co-worker Samantha, but he's preoccupied by a rivalry with another game designer, so the would-be relationship is in limbo."

"I say this every time, but it bears repeating: Grandma’s Boy. 15% RT score for a perfect comedy."

Logline: "A beautiful cheerleader (Megan Fox) gains an insatiable appetite for human flesh after a hungry demon takes control of her body."

"It’s one of my favourite comedies of all time."

"Honestly, I think a lot of critics completely missed the point of that movie. They made a lot of assumptions based on Megan Fox’s casting and took it at face value. Which is sad, because she understood the assignment and played her part perfectly. It’s a smart, funny, ironic horror movie pretending to be a teen sex horror comedy."

Logline: "In a Mexico City wracked by a recent wave of kidnappings, ex-CIA operative John Creasy (Denzel Washington) reluctantly accepts a job as a bodyguard for 9-year-old Lupita (Dakota Fanning), the daughter of wealthy businessman Samuel Ramos (Marc Anthony). Just as Creasy begins to develop a fondness for the young girl, a bloodthirsty gunman (Jesús Ochoa) kidnaps her. Now, Creasy must pick off a succession of corrupt cops and criminals to reach his ultimate object of vengeance."

"I like Man on Fire quite a bit. It's not a masterpiece, but it was much darker than most of those movies of the time. And it has Denzel!"

Logline: "Foster kid Roger (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) loves the Anaheim Angels, even though they're the worst team in the major leagues. His estranged dad promises to reunite the family if the Angels make it to the World Series, so Roger decides to ask for some divine help and prays that his favorite team will turn things around. Soon, a real angel named Al (Christopher Lloyd) shows up in response to Roger's prayers, and Anaheim's hopeless coach (Danny Glover) is shocked to see his team on a winning streak."

"Angels in the Outfield is one of my favorite movies. There’s definitely some nostalgia painting that I love, but I’d say at worst it's a solid movie."

Logline: "The film traces the misadventures of buddies J.D. (Jack Black) and Wayne (Steve Zahn), who begin to suspect that their best friend, Darren Silverman (Jason Biggs), is going to allow himself to be badgered into marrying Judith (Amanda Peet), a woman he doesn't love. They decide to reunite him with his long-lost love from their school days (Amanda Detmer) -- even if they have to kidnap Judith to do it."

"Saving Silverman is hilarious. Dumb as hell, but hilarious."

Logline: "A teenage hacker finds himself framed for the theft of millions of dollars from a major corporation. Master hacker Dade Murphy, aka Zero Cool, aka Crash Override, has been banned from touching a keyboard for seven years after crashing over 1,500 Wall Street computers at the age of 11. Now keen to get back in front of a monitor, he finds himself in more trouble than ever."

"Hackers is one of my favorite movies of all time. I feel like there should be a separate list for movies like that, with a different scoring system for pure enjoyment."

Logline: "An orphan in a facility run by the mean Miss Hannigan, Annie believes that her parents left her there by mistake. When a rich man named Oliver "Daddy" Warbucks decides to let an orphan live at his home to promote his image, Annie is selected. While Annie gets accustomed to living in Warbucks' mansion, she still longs to meet her parents. So Warbucks announces a search for them and a reward, which brings out many frauds."

"Annie has 50%? How? How can something with Carol Burnett and Tim Curry playing off each other so masterfully be 50%?"

Logline: "In this live-action adaptation of the beloved children's tale by Dr. Seuss, the reclusive green Grinch (Jim Carrey) decides to ruin Christmas for the cheery citizens of Whoville. Reluctantly joined by his hapless dog, Max, the Grinch comes down from his mountaintop home and sneaks into town to swipe everything holiday-related from the Whos. However, the bitter grump finds a hitch in his plans when he encounters the endearing Cindy Lou Who (Taylor Momsen)."

"It absolutely IS a masterpiece, and 50% on RT is a crime."

Logline: "He's the wrong person, at the wrong place, at the wrong time. Joe Dirt (David Spade) is a janitor with a mullet hairdo, acid-washed jeans, and a dream -- to find the parents that he lost at the Grand Canyon when he was eight. As his wandering, misguided search takes him from one misadventure to another, he finds his way to Los Angeles, where a shock-jock (Dennis Miller) brings Joe on the radio to insult him. But as Joe's story unfolds, jeers turn to cheers, and an entire city is captivated."

"Joe Dirt is fucking amazing! What the hell? I remember my father saying that he didn't know if it was a stupid movie that was great, or a great movie that was stupid."

Logline: "For Rod Kimball (Andy Samberg), performing stunts is a way of life, even though he is rather accident-prone. Poor Rod cannot even get any respect from his stepfather, Frank (Ian McShane), who beats him up in weekly sparring matches. When Frank falls ill, Rod devises his most outrageous stunt yet to raise money for Frank's operation -- and then Rod will kick Frank's butt."

"39% is criminal! That movie is cool beans."

Logline: "For Buffy Summers (Kristy Swanson), nothing is the same after she meets Merrick Jamison-Smythe (Donald Sutherland). Merrick tells the teen that he's been sent to train her to fight vampires, and he proves himself by displaying his supernatural powers. Buffy is a quick study and soon takes fellow student Oliver Pike (Luke Perry) under her wing, repeatedly saving him from fierce bloodsuckers. But, when a very dangerous vampire (Rutger Hauer) gets rambunctious, she must go to war again."

"Worth a watch for Paul Reubens' death scene alone."

"So many hilarious quotable lines that I insist on using to this day."

Logline: "An amiable rooster called Alan-a-Dale (Roger Miller) tells stories and sings songs of the heroic Robin Hood (Brian Bedford) and his trusty sidekick, Little John (Phil Harris), in this animated animal-themed adaptation of the legendary story. When evil Prince John (Peter Ustinov) deputizes the Sheriff of Nottingham (Pat Buttram) to collect unreasonable taxes from the animals of Sherwood Forest, Robin, Little John and the other merry men wage a lighthearted battle against their evil foes."

"Disney’s Robin Hood is one of my favorite Disney movies, so I was surprised to learn it only has a 58% on Rotten Tomatoes."

"My kids think it’s awesome! Story and dialogue hold up as well as any of the other Disney classics, if not better. The archery scene alone is worth the price of admission. It’s only like 70 minutes, though."

Logline: "Once a first-rate Secret Service agent, Joe Hallenbeck (Bruce Willis) is now a gruff private investigator whose latest gig is protecting a pole dancer (Halle Berry). When she's murdered, he grudgingly teams up with her boyfriend, Jimmy Dix (Damon Wayans), an ex-quarterback with a gambling problem, and the two go after her killers. Before long, they stumble onto a plot by a well-known football magnate (Noble Willingham) to bribe federal legislators into legalizing sports gambling."

"Absolutely fine action film. Bruce Willis, a Wayan, young Halle Berry, and lots of action-related fun."

"Action and horror films never seem to get good ratings."

Logline: "A spaceship missing for seven years finally re-emerges and sends out a distress signal. But when a team is sent out to investigate, they discover that something sinister has taken over the craft."

"One of the best sci-fi horrors ever IMO — inexplicable!"

Logline: "A Muslim ambassador exiled from his homeland, Ahmad ibn Fadlan, finds himself in the company of Vikings. While the behavior of the Norsemen initially offends ibn Fadlan, the more cultured outsider grows to respect the tough, if uncouth, warriors. During their travels together, ibn Fadlan and the Vikings get word of an evil presence closing in, and they must fight the frightening and formidable force, which was previously thought to exist only in legend." 

"Totally underrated film to this day. They captured so many historical mindset issues in such cool ways."

Logline: "Just-paroled army ranger Cameron Poe (Nicolas Cage) is headed back to his wife (Monica Potter), but must fly home aboard a prison transport flight dubbed "Jailbird" with some of the worst criminals living. Along with Diamond Dog (Ving Rhames) and Baby-O (Mykelti Williamson), genius serial killer Cyrus "The Virus" Grissom (John Malkovich) unleashes a violent escape plot in mid-flight. Secretly working with U.S. Marshal Vince Larkin (John Cusack), Poe tries to foil Grissom's plan."

"It’s an incredibly fun movie, with a phenomenal cast. I get why it scored lower. It’s pretty dumb. However, it knows what it is and doesn’t take itself too seriously. One of my favorite action movies of all time."

Logline: "Walter Mitty (Ben Stiller), an employee at Life magazine, spends day after monotonous day developing photos for the publication. To escape the tedium, Walter inhabits a world of exciting daydreams in which he is the undeniable hero. Walter fancies a fellow employee named Cheryl (Kristen Wiig) and would love to date her, but he feels unworthy. However, he gets a chance to have a real adventure when Life's new owners send him on a mission to obtain the perfect photo for the final print issue."

"It’s a phenomenal movie. The cinematography is gorgeous, and it has a sort of whimsical Carmen San Diego storyline. One of the few movies I own on DVD, and I will never get tired of it."

Logline: "Three cowboy movie stars from the silent era -- Dusty Bottoms (Chevy Chase), Lucky Day (Steve Martin), and Ned Nederlander (Martin Short) -- are fired when one of their movies bombs. In what seems to be a career-saving offer, young Mexican woman Carmen (Patrice Martinez) offers them a high-paying gig in her village. The three jump at the opportunity, expecting to do their typical act, but Carmen believes they are really heroes and asks them to rid her village of bad guy El Guapo (Alfonso Arau)."

"I'm surprised Three Amigos is so low; that one's a bona fide classic."

Logline: "When Civil War veteran John Carter mysteriously awakes on the surface of Mars -- also called Barsoom -- he little expects the adventure that awaits him. Carter reluctantly becomes embroiled in an epic conflict among the red planet's inhabitants, including Tars Tarkas and Princess Dejah Thoris. As Barsoom is poised on the brink of collapse, war-weary Carter rediscovers his humanity when he realizes that everyone's fate is in his hands."

"I’ll die on the hill that John Carter deserved better. It’s not perfect, but it’s a fun sci-fi adventure, and the world-building is solid if you give it a chance."

Logline: "In the decade since his fiancée was killed, an Army Ranger, Green Beret, and Navy SEAL rolled into one has sworn off fighting crime, preferring instead to rock his mullet as a man of peace. But when his sworn enemy, Dieter Von Cunth, steals a nuclear warhead, only MacGruber and his crack team of experts are equal to the task of bringing the villain to justice."

"Oh my god, I just looked it up — 47%?? I think it is one of the Top 5 funniest movies I've ever seen."
