Critics have long argued whether Freddy Got Fingered is a secret avant garde masterpiece, a landmark in bad art, but Movie 43 is a strange case. Here, we have a movie that wants to be bad, but to make a point about what exactly? The film’s plot revolves around a movie executive taken hostage while his captor pitches the worst ideas in history. The movie we’re seeing are those bad ideas. Each of them are as awful as the next, and to quibble over whether Hugh Jackman having balls on his chin or Chris Pratt taking a dump on Anna Faris is worse is shooting diseased fish in a depressing barrel.

However, the strangest scene is one that starts out funny. Naomi Watts and Liev Schrieber play the parents of a homeschooled child who harass him, so that he’ll know what a real high school experience is like. However, the segment’s punchline punishes you for chuckling at it, turning your laughter into something horrible and evil. Welcome to Movie 43, a strong contender for the Citizen Kane of Bad Movies.
