Worst kids movie you have had to sit through in a theater (1 Viewer)

[Clifford]

My nomination is The Nut Job.

The good ones are the ones that keep the kids entertained with the fart jokes and nut shots (no pun intended) but also involve a somewhat coherent plot along with some decent attempts at character development to keep the parents entertained as well.

The Nut Job did none of these things and even the fart jokes were poorly timed and fell flat. It is, thus far, the worst kids movie I have seen in a theater (others losing out are Free Birds and Over the Hedge, all three Madagascars and Open Seasons).

good to hear! wife took one for the team today and took our 7 y.o. to the nut job since school was cancelled.

I went with him to Free Birds, and that one I thought was horrible.

I am up in February to take him to the lego movie, but at least that looks like it might have some decent humor for the grown ups.

Yu-Gi-Oh: The Movie. I could live with the poor quality Japanimation and bad English dubbing of the absurd dialog. But the "plot" was what took this one down the toilet. It was 90 minutes of our hero Yugi and his antagonists continuously one-upping each other with progressively more powerful and more ridiculous cards. Imagine a table of the most annoying professional poker players and then grant them all the power to make up their own cards as they go along. Fortunately, my son had good enough taste to recognize it as a terrible movie.

Free Birds was terrible. There hasn't been any interest shown in Nut Job so I'm good there. Honestly, most of the movies I've taken my son too that are kid movies and not just action movies have been ok for the most part. IF he is laughing the entire time and can't stop talking about it for a few days, I'm good. Money well spent.

Will be hitting the Lego movie on opening night. He is psyched for that movie since we saw the first preview last year.

wife saw nut job with the kids and she said it was terrible. Mine worst one was Gnomeo and Juliet...horrible.

Several years ago, when my kids were into Pokemon, we took them to that Pokemon movie that made people sick, dizzy & vomit. My wife was lucky - she fell asleep and missed most of it. Horrible experience.

Took my boys to see some Pokemon movie. They were only like 8 and 6 so I couldn't just leave them while I went and watched something else. Longest 90 minutes of my life.

My kids have actually apologized to me for this.

Ratatouille.. my youngest two fell asleep and I thought it was stupid...

I napped during Nut Job; kids seemed to like it.

Happy Feet was horrible. I wanted to leave halfway through and regretted not doing so.

All the Disney/Pixar movies are pretty much the same story/plot and they're all terrible. The Roald Dahl movies are so much better.

Gotta disagree here. There are enough "inside/grown-up" jokes to keep them entertaining. The Toy Story franchise is pretty solid.

Not a kid's movie, but my brother and I got all liquored up at the mall while Christmas shopping (Thanks TGI Fridays) and saw Malibu's Most Wanted at the cheap theater since shopping sucks.

Shrek was really good too. Penis jokes and stuff.

Every one Ive ever seen has essentially been the same. Its Bambi all over again with different animals/toys/cars/robots/planes/fish/etc... Baby (insert thing here) gets separated from parent (insert thing here) and ventures out in the world on their own and meets friends who help them. Someone farts and someone gets hit in the nuts. Everyone laffs.

wtf

That freaking polar bears movie is going to epicly bad. They can barely string together those CGI lumps to make a 30-second commercial entertaining.

Some #### called Sharkboy and Lavagirl?

Watched this at home. Just a terrible, terrible, movie. Plus having a rat touch your food is freaking gross.

wtf

To add to this, all the Disney movies have a good 15 minutes of stupid songs and dancing to fill content and stretch their drek into a full length movie.

So you saw Finding Nemo...and pretty much imagined things that happened in it to project on the rest of the movies that have none of those things?

Epic was a huge piece of crap.
