Sex And The City 2 feels less like a proper sequel than like an attempt to destroy the seemingly unkillable franchise, then salt the ground to ensure nothing can grow in its place. It’s a film so egregiously awful, it horrified even ostensibly easy-to-please Sex And The City cultists.
The miscalculations begin with making Sarah Jessica Parker and hubby Chris Noth—a romance for the ages in the television show—an Ambien in couple form, then sending Parker and her shrill pals off to a cartoonish caricature of Abu Dhabi for a few days of fun, sun, and nauseating entitlement. The film can’t seem to figure out whether it’s a scathing satire of boorish American self-absorption and cultural myopia, or a shameless celebration of the same. Evidence of the latter:
The climax finds the quartet racing against the clock to keep from having to suffer the ultimate indignity: flying coach. Sex And The City 2 inexplicably cost almost $100 million, yet somehow looks cheaper and tackier than the television show that inspired it. Dubai refused to let the movie shoot in their country over concerns about the film’s racy content; if only every other nation in the world had followed suit.
2. Jack and Jill (2011)

Adam Sandler follows in the hallowed footsteps of Eddie Murphy and Tyler Perry, donning padding for his hindquarters and dressing in drag to play a twin sister to his boilerplate insensitive-jerk lead character. His voice pinched up in a crass Jewish bleat as a terrified Katie Holmes looks on – haunting.
The film spends half its time making jokes about how socially incapable and disgusting Jill is. This would be fine as a concept for an unimportant popcorn flick, except the other half of the film is spent trying to get the audience to sympathize with her plight of being unable to find a man. The film utterly fails on all levels because the audience can't feel for a character who just yelled "I'M DROPPING CHIMICHANGA BOMBS!!!" to the sounds of explosive diarrhea.
The other plot focus of the film is Jack's advertising business. Apparently, Dunkin' Doughnuts is threatening to drop him as an advertising agent unless he signs Al Pacino to advertise their new "Dunk-a-cino" drink. Luckily for Jack, Pacino has fallen in love with his irritating and flatulent twin. This film is awful. It made me literally sick to my stomach at points, and I was quite tempted to demand my money back. I want to assure you that this is not in fact a "so-bad-it's-good" film, that becomes laughable with its level of mistakes. This is a much more dangerous breed of film: the "so-bad-it's-painful" film.
1. The Twillight Saga "Breaking Dawn Part.1"

The Film so badly in the plot scene, it just sell the handsome and the beauty of Pattinson and Stewart. Unlike the first movie that giving audience the full romantic story that had forwardly plot.
The most annoying franchise out there urped up its worst film yet. Causing laughter when its being dramatic, and provoking poker faces when its being “funny,” it's so bizarre, tedious and tonally and ethically disastrous, it's sort of impressive. With fan expectation at an all-time high, Breaking Dawn Part. 1 fails to become the epic force it should be. The wedding, the honeymoon and the birth of Renesmee all fall short and Twi-hards will be disappointed.
The danger with this movie is that the special effects and look of the film really overshadow the plot. The scale of Condon's framing doesn't match that of the storyline. You lose the Edward/Bella angst that really defines so much of the saga. And without that, we're afraid, you're in danger of turning Twilight into such a big blockbuster that fans won't want to recognise it anymore. As massive fans ourselves, it was a huge letdown. Sometimes, bigger isn't better.
