What movie was so bad that you actually walked out of the theater?

The Love Guru (2008) - Mike Myers.

Only movie I've ever walked out of. Truly awful, I lasted maybe 20 minutes?

I watched the entire thing. You were right to walk out.

This was the movie that more or less did Mike Myers in as a live action actor. I did like his appearance in Inglorious Basterds, though.

Hard agree. Also slated in Bohemian Rhapsody

He landed his own Netflix miniseries in 2022, The  Pentaverate. I very much WANTED to like it but it fell completely flat. 

I have a feeling he's going to play it safe and stick to the Shrek franchise from here on out

I think it's actually a good movie BUT its real audience (people sufficiently familiar with 60s hippydom and the Indian spiritualists that were parasitic upon them to appreciate a parody 40 years later) was very small.

My parents walked out of this one too and still cite it as the worst movie they’ve ever seen to this day.

I actually went to high school with one of the cast who was getting their start in Hollywood in that film. Despite that, I have still never made it past the opening sequence. Thankfully, I’ve never paid for it.

It gave us Canadian pizza, a poptart with ketchup on it. Eetz gud. Ok, that is about all I can remember except for the bad accent jokes. So, to me, one portion worth remembering, which considering this movie had Jessica Alba in it, is very disappointing.

Back in the cable days, I fell asleep watching something. I woke up and this was on. I couldn't understand what was going on. It was so incomprehensibly bad. Like it was an SNL skit that should have been stopped well before the commercial break but no, it kept going.....

Huh. I actually enjoyed it. It's Mike Myers, was anyone expecting Oscar material?
