The teenage anikan almost singlehandedly ruined the greatest franchise of all time with his Brooklyn accent, obnoxiously whiny persona, and almost incomprehensible ability to not have a clue what any scene required in 2 full movies.

It is almost not possible to be topped.

The kid almost ruined Gran Torino for me. Not the worst acting I've ever seen, but definitely the biggest disparity I've ever seen between level of acting and quality of movie I can think of

Biggest disparity? No.

Anthony Hopkins and Gary Oldman... opposite Keanu Reeves in Dracula.

I don't know, the guy was taking direction from Lucas. How can you parse out the bad acting from the ****tiest directing this side of Michael Bay?

not disparity between good acting and bad acting, disparity between caliber of movie and caliber of acting. Gran Torino was a very good movie with terrible acting by that kid (and his sister and the priest, but the kid was the worst).

Lucas managed to make Natalie Portman and Ewan MacGregor look like community theater rookies. I give every actor in Star Wars a pass for their performances there.

Travolta and Barry Pepper.
Battlefield Earth.

i'm gonna go with one that probably hasn't been mentioned on here.....

Zooey Deschanel who played Trillian from Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy......good gawd every line that came out of her mouth felt awkward, forced, or just plain terrible....

Was easily one of the worst overall from what I've seen in a movie in a long time.

If you want bad acting you have to watch the movie "Cutaway."

The entire skydiving community was excited about it since it would be the first feature movie to feature skydiving that was shot by an actual jumper. Then we watched it and it is absolutely horrible, uses a very worn out cliche for a plot and the acting was even worse.

She's pretty terrible in Elf too.

She's pretty terrible in everything. Good thing her role in Almost Famous is small because I love that movie.

I'm serious about the Happening. It's a hilarious movie

I honest to god believe M.N.S. was trolling with it, its that epic. He aced it.

Charlie Hunnam in sons of anarchy. If we're just talking movies, his role in Pacific Rim

"Mrs. Doubtfire? Robin Williams won a Golden Globe and was one of his best acting performances."

Wow, one of his best acting performances? It was unwatxhably bad, as was birdcage. What makes them so bad is that the critics gave them good reviews. I saw both of these movies expecting to like them, to be entertained. And they were both horribly bad. Robin Williams was great in Good Will Hunting. He was not great in these 2 turd movies.

Just saw it on tv, but Tom Lister in Fifth Element is pretty bad.

if you look at just the straight scenes like the courtroom or when his kids are visiting his apartment, he was really good. Generally, Robin Williams is just too much for me, but he is a really great actor, IMO.

As several people have already mentioned, The Room wins. No contest. Hands down. EOT.

Anything other than the Room means you have not seen The Room.

Watch "Birdemic" and you may change your mind.

For biggest discrepancy between performance and movie, the award goes to....



Cameron Diaz in Gangs of New York. At least Scorcese learned from his mistake by casting the fantastic Cate Blanchet in the Aviator

Oh and for me the casting of non actors in Gran Torino made that movie unwatchable. Just terrible.

Andie Macdowell in 4 weddings and a funeral. Holy crap every terrible appearance in a scene leads up to one of the worst delivered clunkers ever "is it still raining I hadn't noticed" as one monotone run on sentence. The. Worst.

I seriously forgot most of those Marky Mark scenes from The Happening. I think the guy who called it an epic troll might be right.

Kid Anakin is the clear winner for this thread.

I'm a big fan of SOA but Hunnam is a pretty bad actor.

I think Jake Lloyd is George Lucas's illegitImate son and he put him in that role to avoid child support payments.

Or maybe Jake Lloyd is George Lucas's illegitimate son and in addition to letting him star he also let him write and direct. If a seven year old was writing and directing then at least that would explain it.
