The Worst Films of 2000 (2001)

Roger Ebert: Self - Host

Quotes 

• Richard Roeper : [regarding "Road Trip"]  If you're sloppy and disgusting only for the sake of being sloppy and disgusting, you're no funnier than a wet diapered toddler in a high chair using his fingers to eat a bowl of oatmeal.

  Roger Ebert : Hey, that would be funny. What if an adult did that? Wait a minute, maybe that happened in this movie. "Road Trip" is a movie that I have not thought about for one second since we reviewed it, and I really resent the fact that you brought it up again here today, because that's a film that just takes up valuable mental real estate

  [Richard laughs] 

  Roger Ebert : that could be used for a more positive purpose. Okay, my nominee in this category is "Ready to Rumble", a pro wrestling movie where Michael Buffer gets to shout "Let's get ready to rumble", a phrase of which, by this point in his career, seems like a distinctly mixed blessing. How would you like to go everywhere and hear, "Let's hear you say it, Michael. Come on."

• Richard Roeper : [after Roger selects "What Planet Are You From?" as his worst movie of the year] 

  [chuckling] 

  Richard Roeper : You know, though, I can't help it, I laughed at this movie, and I recommended it on this show.

  Roger Ebert : You recommended the worst movie of the year?

  Richard Roeper : And I'm standing- I'm standing by it, because for whatever reason, I know it's stupid, but Garry Shandling looks like he's from somewhere else, and he just made me laugh, and I have to be honest, when I walk out of a movie, if it made me laugh so much, even if it's just because it's that stupid, I have to recommend it.
