How to Make a Really Bad Movie

1) Make a Live-Action movie featuring a cast of talking animals with no major human actors.
EX: "Gordy," "Underdog," and the new sure fire hit "Beverly Hills Chihuahua"

2) Get Eddie Murphy as your main star.
EX: "The Adventures of Pluto Nash," "The Haunted Mansion," "Show Time"

3) Take a television show that people liked and try to make it a serious movie using comedy actors.
EX: "Dukes of Hazzard," "Bewitched," "The Honeymooners," "Beverly Hillbillies"

4) Make too many sequels.
EX: "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" "Jurassic Park II and III"

5) Take on an idea that is too shallow of a story to be filmed.
EX: "Cat in the Hat," "The X Files," "McHale's Navy"

6) Make a uninteresting movie with a huge budget and well known cast.
EX: "What Dreams May Come," "The Postman," "Cutthroat Island"

7) Unfortunately, get M. Night Shymalan to direct your movie.
EX: "Lady in the Water," "The Village," "Wide Awake"

8) Get musicians to star in roles that require them to be anything but musicians.
EX: "Enough," "Die Another Day," "Black Dog"-- Jennifer Lopez, Madonna, and Randy Travis respectively

9) Don't rely on athletes to give you a good performance.
EX: "Kazaam," "The Perfect Score," "The Scorpion King"

10) Win multiple Raspberry Awards.
EX: "Norbit," "Crossroads," "Lady in the Water"

The Raspberry Awards are awarded to the worst of Hollywood fro any given year. Think of the Academy Awards in reverse. I wonder what films are going to be awarded this year!
