6. Al Franken, Stuart Saves His Family – This probably is Franken's fault. Same problem that faced It's Pat: a character that's funny for two or three minutes starts to wear thin, especially when plot is forced upon it.
7. Chris Rock, Bad Company – Chris Rock is an enigma. He's one of the funniest guys on the planet; that's not in dispute. But somehow, he has failed to make a good movie. What was even his best one? Madagascar?
8. Will Ferrell, A Night at the Roxbury – Sorry, Will, we hate to do this to you, but the funniest joke was in all of the commercials ("Are you guys brothers?" "No . . . YES!")
9. Dana Carvey, The Master of Disguise – After a difficult couple of years for Carvey (he underwent a total of five surgeries to repair blocked arteries, including one on the wrong artery,) this is what he comes back with? "TURTLE! TURTLE!"
10. Tim Meadows, The Ladies Man – "Ladies, if you are rich, please meet me by the nacho cart." The rest of the film is on par with that.
11. Jimmy Fallon, Fever Pitch – Actually not a terrible movie if you aren't a Red Sox fan. I'm a Red Sox fan.
12. Adam Sandler, The Waterboy – Ugh. It's just not funny. I get the whole "brainless humor" thing, but this didn't even work as that for me.
13. Cheri Oteri, Dumb and Dumberer – I guess this is a case of "what did you expect," but what I expected was for a talented woman like Oteri to pick better film roles.
14. David Spade, Lost and Found – Hard to buy that Spade could get that French woman. And that someone would plot to stop them.
15. Dan Aykroyd, Blues Brothers 2000 – Should've left well enough alone, Danny Boy.
16. Horation Sanz, Boat Trip – Sanz is kind of a funny guy when he doesn't laugh at his own jokes. He needs some decent material to work, though.
17. Martin Short, Clifford – Martin Short plays an evil 10-year-old. Makes perfect sense.
18. Kenan Thompson, Fat Albert – He's used to being in TV Land and he doesn't understand the real world! Get it!?
19. Jon Lovitz, High School High – The teacher film genre was ripe for parody, but Lovitz is the wrong choice. He should stick to bit parts and cartoon characters.
Chris Elliot, Groundhog Day – See, this is a great movie, and you would think that with Chris Elliot, who is funny, on board, he would be an asset to the film. But somehow, he blows it. His one joke: "Did [Phil] just refer to himself as 'the talent'?" is botched. Inexplicable.
