The Worst Movie Ever

There are a lot of bad movies in the world. Movie critics hated 88 Minutes starring Al Pacino, and audience goers agreed. But bad movies are more personal than 'expert' opinions. What is the worst movie you've ever seen? It might have won awards, or received countless accolades, but for whatever reason, you hated it. Share your titles with us today, and tell us why the movie failed you on so many levels.

Plus, Cliff Mass joins us with a weekend weather forecast.
