Default Most disappointing movie ever (high expectations, but flopped)

Hi

The other post about the "worst" movie ever does not apply here. I'm thinking of a movie that, for a variety of reasons (story, cast, director, budget), had every reason to be an excellent movie, yet it still flopped.

One that comes to mind for me is Pearl Harbor. Tried to be a great war movie and have a good love story and missed badly on both. I'm sure it is not the "worst" flop, but I was disappointed.

I thought it would have been impossible to screw up a parody of teen movies, but Not Another Teen Movie proved me wrong.

Obviously not the most disappointing movie ever, but I think most people who saw this movie share my thoughts.

I thought that movie was pretty charming.

Yeah, that movie had the opposite effect on me. I thought it looked terrible, but it was on TV one day so I watched it. I thought it was pretty funny.

The line in the "prom tonight" song where the cook sings "I just jerked off in your French toast!!" is enough to make this movie worthwhile all by itself.
