How about Barbara Streisand and Dustin Hoffman as the "hippie like" parents in Meet the Fockers?

Will Smith as James West in Wild Wild West. I'm sure there were a lot of black secret service agents right after the Civil War.

Tara Reid in ANYTHING. Who told her she was an actress anyway.

Sylvester Stallone in "Oscar" (1991)
I know... he was trying to branch out, but man that's painful.

Gene Simmons from Kiss in Never To Young To Die.
He is a transvestite in this movie. Funnier than hell.

Hayden Christensen in Star Wars Episodes II & III
A Rolling Stone review included this priceless evaluation of his performance: "... to merely call him wooden is an affront to puppets everywhere"

Any of the actors in the Batman movies.
Orlando Bloom as the pirate hero in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movies. Too skinny, too white, too babyfaced.

Jude Law as Sky Captain in Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow. Of course, that was a terrible movie anyway.
Orlando Bloom was bad in Troy, but Eric Bana was even worse.

Everything about that movie was bad. See "Helen Of Troy" instead. Much better movie.

I agree that
Troy was bad. It would have been the worst movie of last year if it wasn't for
Sky Captain.
