The Top 10 Worst Films of 2012 … So Far

Essentially of the junior division of You Got Served, here is a grossly implausible and incredibly disturbing film in which young male dancers are fetishized in music video-like dance routines. This is the most preposterous, exploitive, cloying, artificial film of its kind since Standing Ovation.

Although this film correctly and accurately addresses America's failings, it offers a solution so venomous and morally reprehensible that it surpasses mere parody and becomes a full-blown case of cinematic intolerance.

Here is a movie so flimsy in premise, so poorly written, and so badly acted that it achieves a perverse level of hilarity. To watch this movie is to witness the birth of a cult classic, one that's sure to play in midnight movie houses while audiences make fun of it mercilessly.

On the basis of this film, writers/directors/stars Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim have never heard an actual joke in their lives. They may not even know what a joke is. The movie basically consists of two men and a roster of guest stars sinking to the lowest depths of crudeness in a desperate plea for attention.

This is not a movie so much as a recruitment video, commissioned by the Navy's Special Warfare Command as an initiative to increase the sign-up rate for the Navy SEALs. This is a reprehensible example of pro-American propaganda masquerading as an action film.

Watching this movie is a little like being trapped in an arcade game and having absolutely no control over it. The characters, developed solely on shallow and overused clichés, are essentially targets in a shooting gallery, most of them serving no purpose apart from awaiting their cue to die in a savage attack.

This is a pathetic new low for Adam Sandler, representative of nothing apart from a desperate plea for attention. With its bizarre blending of disgusting toilet humor and heartfelt moments of drama, it exemplifies a complete lack of understanding on the filmmakers' part about who the movie was intended for.

A deplorable example of exploitation, cruelty, and nihilism masquerading as philosophy. Here is a "survivalist" story in which the survivors are given the same reverence as horror movie victims, who appear to have depth and yet are merely awaiting their turn to die on cue.

On the levels of narrative, structure, theme, and characterization, this movie is profoundly wrongheaded. It regards the decision to have a child not as a serious commitment but as the basis of a social experiment.
