The Jungle Book: Mowgli's Story (1998)
Absolutely the worst and sloppiest kids' film ever made!
This movie is a complete and utter embarrassment to the Jungle Book. First off, the actor who plays Mowgli is horrible. Every line he says comes out sarcastically. It sounds as if he is trying to make fun of the script (quite pitiful, would you say?)! For example, when Bagheera asks Mowgli if he's alright, he replies by saying, "scared, but alive!" I mean, how corny can you get? I know this is supposed to be a kid's movie, but hey, there's a limit! Towards the middle of the film, it started to seem as if the writers had lost interest in the movie and decided to wrap it up somehow. Also, the set design was really sad. What kind of a jungle merges with hilltops? The lagoon was really fake as well. It looked like an ordinary pond in your average backyard. And also, how are all the animals friendly with each other? Aren't the wolves supposed to eat them all up? To add on, there are several goofs in this movie - one of them being that when Shere Khan is trapped in the circle of fire, there is a giant gap visible where he can get through. And when he is 'forced' to agree with being exiled from the jungle, Mowgli moves aside and Shere Khan jumps right over the flames. Why couldn't he just do that from the opposite side of the circle? Was Mowgli supposed to be big enough to surround the entire circle of flames? This just adds on to my earlier point of the writers wrapping up the script. Also, Mowgli never wears any sort of make-up in the entire movie. Even when he's been running all throughout the forest, he looks as if he just got out of bed. In all, this film was by far the most pathetic kid's movie I have ever seen. I don't know what the makers were thinking.
La boum (1980)
Awful Mess...
I didn't like it. Bad acting, cheesy soundtrack, and bitter plot were all major contributions to this terrible diarrhea mess. I felt that the only amusing part was when Vic's mom destroys the lady's perfume store. The scenes were annoyingly predictable, and the dialog was poorly written. You might have called this a Sixteen Candles rip-off, but this movie was made four years earlier. It's quite a disappointment to see that Sixteen Candles and La Boum are less than one star apart in the IMDb ratings. This film was a huge letdown. Being a fan of the '80s myself, I was expecting something brilliant, but instead I ended up with horrible. 3 out of 10 stars.
Teletubbies (1997)
Worst Children's Television Show to Date
This show is just plain stupid. It doesn't teach anything. Well, actually it does, and that is to act immature and make annoying sounds out of yourself (baby talk)! Don't watch it. It's pointless, the characters are empty, and the show takes place in some grassy land with a baby acting as the sun. I mean, even first graders hate this show. I was five years old when it came out. I never liked it. I don't know of anyone else who ever liked the show either. Did I also mention that the Teletubbies interact using "Big Hug"s, "Eh-oh"s, and "Lala"s? How stupid is that? Watching a rock for an hour is even more exciting than this awful, awful show. I'm serious, this show sucks. In fact it's so pointless that if you go up to a random kindergartener, they would say they hate the show. And if you are curious enough to go watch it, go ahead. But don't say you weren't warned!
