    Knocked Up:not funny in any context.

    For my own:

    Superbad - Not quite a self-descriptive title, but certainly never saw why it was getting such praise. It didn't help that I wanted to strangle Jonah Hill in most of his scenes.

    Atonement     - Again you could work the title as being an act the producers themselves should perform for this. Self-important Oscar bait.

    Michael Clayton - This film sent me to sleep. I can't believe how popular it is. Clooney sucks.

    Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer - An extremely poor sequel. The first one was good.

    Also strongly agree. If it was made in America, it wouldv'e flopped.
    Cant think of anything else

    I would say 300, but was pretty much critically panned, it was only your average cabbage on the street who rated it.

    Simpsons Movie- critically well received, pretty average

    American Gangster- ok, should have been better.

    1. Superbad
    2.Knocked Up

    It was a very tough call not to put Hot Fuzz and Fun Fat Boy Run in here, but on overall offensive boringness, I'll stick to my choices
