I’ve been unfortunate enough to have seen The Hottie and the Nottie – which was tragically appalling – an insult to film itself. In between guffawing at Paris’ apparent attempt at acting, I was cringing for her co-star Joel Moore, poor girl.
How unfortunate have you been? How many of these Anti-Oscar winning films have you seen?
