“Thou hast to be kidding.”

“I had a colonoscopy once, and they let me watch it on TV. It was more entertaining than ‘The Brown Bunny.'”
Critics: The Brown Bunny2003Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
“This movie could have been made as a soft-core sex film, but it’s too restrained: There are so many palms carefully arranged in front of genital areas, and Brooke Shields’ long hair is so carefully draped to conceal her breasts, that there must have been a whole squad of costumers and set decorators on permanent Erogenous Zone Alert.”
Critics: The Blue Lagoon1980Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
“‘Mad Dog’ Time is the first movie I have seen that does not improve on the sight of a blank screen viewed for the same length of time. Oh, I’ve seen bad movies before. But they usually made me care about how bad they were. Watching Mad Dog Time is like waiting for the bus in a city where you’re not sure they have a bus line.”
Critics: Mad Dog Time1996Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
“Cats is the biggest disaster of the decade, and possibly thus far in the millennium. It's Battlefield Earth with whiskers.”
Critics: Cats2019Adam Graham, The Detroit News
“Speaking in my official capacity as a Pulitzer Prize winner, Mr. Schneider, your movie sucks.”
Critics: Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo2005Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
“Mr. Patterson and Mr. Choi seem to have thought about the social dimensions of fast food so much that they now see their target audience as problems to be solved, not customers to be pleased. The most nutritious burger on earth won't help you if you don't want to eat it.”
Critics: Locol, Oakland2017Pete Wells, The New York Times
