SLIDESHOW: Worst Romantic Comedy Ever Made?
1 of 9
'Friends With Benefits'
Fresh on the heels of "No Strings Attached" (they swear it's not the same movie), Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis bring us "Friends With Benefits." Why do we have a feeling they end up as more than just friends?

-
'From Justin to Kelly'
There's a reason why the first "American Idol"-themed movie was the last one.
-
'Gigli'
This movie probably marked the kiss of death for Bennifer's relationship. The "bull cow" line alone makes us gag.
-
'The Family Stone'
Based on the misleading previews, we innocently headed to the theater in December 2005 to see what we thought would be an uplifting holiday flick. Turns out, it's one of the most depressing movies ever made.
-
'Valentine's Day'
This painful "ensemble" flick earned Razzie Awards for Jessica Alba and Ashton Kutcher.
-
'Mr. Wrong'
DeGeneres as the murderous bride of Bill Pullman? Sounds, um, wrong.
-
'The Sweetest Thing'
A salon.com critic called this raunchy Cameron Diaz chick flick "one of the flattest, stupidest, unfunniest sex comedies -- as well as one of the worst all-round pictures -- I've ever seen."
-
'Fool's Gold'
Critics despised it, but "Fool's Gold" still topped the box office in 2008, proving that people are happy to part with $10 to see Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey in bathing suits.
-
'Failure to Launch'
We loved SJP in "Sex and the City," but she should probably stick to the small screen. Nevertheless, Matthew McConaughey once again proved himself to be king of the rom-com, taking the film to No. 1 despite reviews.

Generation Y sure is depressing sometimes.
We know that romantic comedies are often unbearably corny ("You complete me," anyone?). But are ANTI-romantic comedies much better?
A new crop of anti-romantic comedies are prizing no-strings-attached hook-ups over actual relationships.
Sure, it's all fun and games while it lasts, but these people are going to want to grow up, get married and have kids eventually, aren't they?
Fresh on the heels of "No Strings Attached" (they swear it's not the same movie), Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis hit theaters this weekend with "Friends With Benefits."
And while The Associated Press calls the flick "easily superior to its forerunner," mocking "the more modern, saccharine conventions," it "nevertheless disappoints by eventually falling prey to the very clichés it strives to upend."
Bet you saw that happy ending coming a mile away, didn't you?

I check this one because the whole concept and premise is nearly identical to another recent movie.
If you're going to suck, at least do so in an original way.
Of course, if that Chris brown RomCom actually happens, it will top this list without even being added.
But really, they're all the same, and they all suck.
The Proposal was good though...
The best ones I have seen are 10 things I hate about you and 500 days of summer.
Romantic comedies
Or George Romero if, like me, you consider the "...of the Dead" movies romcoms.
