Are these "terrible" movies actually "good?" Let's find out...

1. Bride Wars (2009): "It got some low ratings, but Bride Wars with Kate Hudson, Anne Hathaway, and pre-GotG and -Parks & Rec Chris Pratt is actually pretty good. If it's on TV, you bet I'm going to turn it on."

2. The Village (2004): "I never understood the hate for The Village. IMHO, the only wrong thing is it being marketed as a horror movie instead of the suspense/drama it really is."

3. Encino Man (1992): "It has a 17% on Rotten Tomatoes, but it's got Sean Astin, Pauly Shore, and best of all, BRENDAN FRASER with long hair pre-George of the Jungle. The premise is just ridiculous enough, and the characters (and actors who play them) are just outstanding enough to make the movie one of my absolute faves. It's little known but should be more known."

4. White Chicks (2004): "Some people hated it, but I loved it."

5. Bewitched (2005): "Bewitched with Nicole Kidman and Will Ferrell! I used to watch it religiously. I think it's such a funny and charming film."

6. Hoodwinked! (2005): "I don't care about the low-quality animation; I love that movie! The script is hilarious, and it was clever to twist traditional fairy tales with a Rashomon-style narrative."

7. Death to Smoochy (2002): "Ebert called it the worst movie of the year, and it's one of my favorites! A dark comedy about the seedy side of children's television and charities, starring Robin Williams, Edward Norton, Catherine Keener, and Jon Stewart. Cracks me up every time!"

8. Ghostbusters (2016): "Every time I watch it, I find something else that cracks me up. Chris Hemsworth is a riot, and Kate McKinnon slays. No one I know likes it."

9. Batman & Robin (1997): "Batman & Robin brought Chris O'Donnell into my awareness. All these years later, he's still my favorite crush, and one day, I will run away to Hollywood and marry him."

10. Hot Tub Time Machine (2010): "Hot Tub Time Machine. I haven't watched it in a bit since Tag and Game Night have become my favorite movies in the 'completely average people wind up in bonkers, dangerous situations action-comedy genre, but it's honestly a super-enjoyable movie."

11. Xanadu (1980): "Xanadu is one of my favorite movies that always gets so much hate! It's definitely not the best movie ever made, but it's super campy and fun."

12. The New Mutants (2020): "It wasn't groundbreaking by any stretch of the imagination, nor did it really live up to its horror-movie marketing, but it was solidly entertaining, and IMO, had good enough writing and characters to make me remember it as a good viewing experience. Didn't deserve a lot of the hatred it got."

13. View From the Top (2003): "Apparently, View From the Top has a low rating, but I FREAKING LOVE THAT MOVIE. It's funny and sweet, and it has great actors. It's one of my go-to movies to watch when I'm sick in bed."

14. Tomorrowland (2015): "Tomorrowland is a pretty good science fiction movie. It's entertaining, and while its message is cheesy, I think it's hopeful as well. It portrays what it would be like if humans knew in advance that the world was going to end; we wouldn't give a damn, and we wouldn't do anything to remedy it — as is happening now with COVID-19. Plus, George Clooney and Hugh Laurie are in the movie! I don't understand why everyone says Tomorrowland is bad, but I saw it once and loved it. In my opinion, it's not as bad as people say it is."

15. Grease 2 (1982): "Can we discuss that Grease 2 was actually awesome? The outfits, the camp, the FEMINISM? No one changed for anyone. The music was so cheesy, and honestly, that movie was 10x better."

16. Burlesque (2010): "I love Burlesque so much. People always hate on it, from what I see. It's so fantastically fun, and the music and outfits are magic. Christina Aguilera's hair alone in that movie should've won an Oscar, LOL. And I don't need to talk about Cher — she's Cher. I expected it not to be so great, but by the end of the movie, I was almost hopping on a bus to go dance burlesque somewhere myself. 😂"

17. The Happening (2008): "I love The Happening. I don't know why because the acting isn't good — even though Mark Wahlberg and Zooey Deschanel are pretty good actors — and the plot twist is, uh, something. It's just a weird, fun watch for me."
