I have to go with Drive here. A decent film? Yes. The film of the year (as some people put it)? Not even close. Hence way overrated. The Guard was also not the clever, genre changing, comedy it claimed to be

Super 8 - not bad by any means but certainly nowhere near worthy of the praise that got heaped on it when it came out.

The Tree of Life - Don't see the appeal at all. I couldn't sit through the whole thing. Dinosaurs? WTF?
Super 8 - It was enjoyable, but would I watch it again... eh, no...

Bridesmaids.

Female version of the Hangover my @rse. If I was a women I'd be disgusted with anyone calling it that.

If I was pushed for a second I'd say True Grit. I know it was a remake but just didn't see the point of it.

Super 8
Pseudo sci-fi fare rehashed with no new ideas or original thought as we've become accustomed from Abrams.

My second pick is Limitless. I really cant believe that people thought it was a good film. Full of tacky dated looking effects and a really flawed premise.

My second pick is the very long and very boring Bridesmaids.

The Guard - One of the worst films of the year, boring, unfunny muck with a script that feels like it was written in 1992 and left at the bottom of a drawer till now.

Hangover 2/Due Date- nothing more than two thinly veiled remakes of the Hangover which wastes the talents of Paul Giamatti and everyone else invovled in both.
