Study: 30 Actors Who Consistently Appear in Bad Movies

Date:

Here are a list of actors who consistently appear in bad movies.

Working as an actor in Hollywood is a tough business. Besides the fact that women are three times more likely to do a nude scene in a movie, movie stars are only as popular as their lost movie. But who is the worst actor or actress in Hollywood? More specifically, which actors consistently appear bad movies? Well thanks to the Internet, Science and Vox.com, we finally have the answer and it doesn’t look too good for Adam Sandler and Jennifer Love Hewitt.

Recently, Vox studied movie reviews and the actors that appeared movies and have come to the following conclusion – Rob Schneider and Jennifer Love Hewitt consistently appear in bad movies.

Here’s what the study had to say about Rob Schneider:

You may recall Rob Schneider from classics like “Deuce Bigolow: Male Gigolo” (1999) or “The Hot Chick” (2002). Thanks in part to these efforts, he is the worst critically-rated actor in Hollywood.

Not a single one of the 16 films Schneider has appeared in has secured a Metacritic score higher than 54. Eleven of them received soul-crushingly bad reviews: In response to “Deuce Bigolow”, Roger Ebert once famously quipped, “Mr Schneider, your movie sucks” — a line that later became the title of one of his books.

Here’s what the study had to say about Jennifer Love Hewitt, Katherine Heigl and Halle Berry:

Though Jennifer Love-Hewitt’s last movie was in 2013 (a low-budget rom-com titled “Jewtopia”), her ability to star in poorly-rated films is timeless: of 10 total films, 7 rank below 40 points on Metacritic.

Actresses like Katherine Heigl, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Jennifer Lopez almost exclusively act in romantic comedies. Similarly, many women who take on leading roles in action films seem to have very low Metacritic scores — including Halle Berry, who won an Academy Award for Best Actress in 2001.

But, what about the most popular actors in Hollywood? Which actors consistently work on good movie? Daniel Day-Lewis tops the list alongside Carey Mulligan.

BEST-actor-ZZZ.0

With an average score of 73, Daniel Day-Lewis seems impregnable to bad reviews. The 58-year-old Englishman is one of the most selective actors in the industry: in a career that has spanned nearly five decades, he’s only participated in only 11 films.

Up and coming starlets like Carey Mulligan and Jennifer Lawrence rank high, but so do older actresses with established dramatic careers.

But it’s important to point out that movie critics tend to give comedies and action movies very bad reviews. In fact, according to the study, “critics rate comedies and action flicks much more harshly than dramas.” This is probably because comedies are subjective and what one person finds funny may not be funny for a paid movie critic. Consequently, comedic actors are not bad actors instead, movie critics don’t have a sense of humor.
