Five Worst Films of 2010 so far

The first four months of 2010 are almost over, so why not take a moment and look at the five worst films I've seen so far this year. It hasn't exactly been a fantastic movie year in terms of quality so far, so picking the worst of the worst was pretty easy for me. Check out the selection below, and share yours as well. I will also post the five best films of '10 so far, and believe it or not, that list was harder to put together than this.

5. OUR FAMILY WEDDING
Want to see a goat on Viagra humping Forest Whitaker? Then this is your movie. "Our Family Wedding" desperately tries to be a funny comedy about two families clashing before their kids' wedding, but unfortunately, the humor in the film is pretty much as lame as it gets. All this flick has to offer is a boring plot, dull characters and two fathers who act like stupid dogs in front of their children. This one's a big drag...

4. LEAP YEAR
The worst thing about Anand Tucker's stinker "Leap Year" is its unbearable predictability. It's also barely romantic, and it's by no means funny either, which makes things only worse. Amy Adams and Matthew Goode get to play two adults who act like annoying kids the entire time, and when they do get serious, the film slips into boredom or drowns in uninspiring cheesiness. "Leap Year" is a totally forgettable experience.

3. WHEN IN ROME
As a Saturday morning television movie to keep the kids quiet, "When in Rome" would've worked a lot better. This one is the epitome of a lame romantic comedy that tries hard but constantly fails at delivering decent enough jokes. If you haven't seen this one, here is what you can expect from it: bad performances, a dreadful pace and a story as bland as an empty piece of toast. Enough said.

2. TOOTH FAIRY
This one could go down as one of the worst films of the new decade. I know Dwayne Johson must get a kick out of acting like a complete retard in awful roles in moronic family films, but "Tooth Fairy" is a real disgrace. Watching Johnson dressed up as a fairy and acting like a jerk is a sad thing to watch, and to make matters worse, it's also incredibly boring. Kids would be better off watching a bloody horror film. Seriously...

1. WHY DID I GET MARRIED TOO?
While I loved the first film, Tyler Perry's sequel to "Why Did I Get Married?" is a ridiculous disaster. The humor and series of twists that made the first film so enjoyable are all gone, and all we get to see this time is a bunch of couples acting like immature teenagers. Incredibly boring conversations and violent, overdramatic outbursts are ruling the day in "Married Too," and it's neither pretty nor entertaining. You can hate me for saying this, but this time, Perry screwed up big time...
These films almost made the cut: THE SPY NEXT DOOR, COP OUT & THE LAST SONG.
