I remember seeing this movie, and yes, this did look a lot similar to Christmas with the Kranks, which starred this year's Razzie nominee Tim Allen. However, Kranks just got beaten out in the 25th Annual Razzie Awards. Of course, Surviving Christmas was also really bad. Of course, Ben Affleck made a big comeback this year for Hollywoodland, but, unfortunately, didn't get an Oscar nomination for that film. Perhaps it could be that there were other Actors who had better performances.]]> Sat, 24 Feb 2007 09:25:23 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1456&PID=10941#10941 A Good Source of Holiday JEERS! : Here's what Inspector Gadget... http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1456&PID=10860#10860 Author: bruin_522

Agreed.  It's hard to believe the the same DiC creative team that brought the world the show could support a script like that (but since this is also the same DiC team that thought the laughable Corporal Capeman would be an interesting addition to the show, it might not be that much of a stretch).  Two major reasons the series worked that they casually tossed out the window (not including the decision not to even try to go at the self-destructing assignments that were among the best parts of the show) was A) Gadget's well-defined personality, being firmly and egotistically to an extent convinced he's a great crimefighter even though he never has a clue what's going on around him and B) the fact little backstory was ever explained made it better to watch, for it signaled they trusted the viewers' intelligence enough to draw their own conclusions on several things.  Additionally, Frank Welker's Claw is a dangerous villain, perhaps one of the most dangerous in a mainstream cartoon.  Even if Standards and Practices would still limit his activities to mainly theft and prohibit guns, that still doesn't stop him from from attempting to take characters' lives with just about every other weapon in the book.  Whereas you can never believe Rupert Holmes can do anything really bad, and that kills them.  ]]> Mon, 12 Feb 2007 05:32:56 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1456&PID=10721#10721 A Good Source of Holiday JEERS! : Hey, Head RAZZ, didn't Godzilla,... http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1456&PID=10712#10712 Author: bruin_522

Hey, Head RAZZ, didn't Godzilla, the one with Matthew Broderick, win a Razzie in 1998? I think it did, though, because Inspector Gadget never got any Razzie noms, but that's one of those films which should have gotten some Razzie noms for sure.

Makes you wonder:  Ed Rooney's famous vow was "Fifteen years from now when he looks back over the ruin his life's become..."  So actually in regards to Broderick's career that turned out pretty accurate to when his slide really began (not that Jeffrey Jones has that much positive to say about his own career right now, mind you).  ]]> Wed, 07 Feb 2007 07:52:07 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1456&PID=10656#10656 A Good Source of Holiday JEERS! : Originally posted by bruin_522Matthew... http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1456&PID=10647#10647 Author: saturnwatcher

A bit? Inspector Gadget practically qualifies as a crime against humanity, and who amongst us wasn't hoping beyond hope that the pathetic, Americanized Godzilla wouldn't have him for dinner?

Danny DeVito has his 4th Razzie nom in his career, though one of those noms is one in which everyone thought he didn't deserve that nom. Of course, everyone knows what that was: Batman Returns. Everyone has always said that DeVito was good in B.R.

Danny DeVito as Penguin in Warner Bros. Batman Returns

Though DeVito looks pretty scary-looking as Penguin. He used to be in such good movies like One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, but now it's been pretty hard seeing DeVito in a good film. But I think he'll make a comeback, the question is when?

I couldn't help but post this review by Richard Roeper

"You cannot believe how excruciatingly awful this movie is. It is badin a way that will cause unfortunate viewers to huddle in the lobbyafterward, hugging in small groups, consoling one another with theknowledge that it's over, it's over -- thank God, it's over. [...]Compared to the honest hard labor performed by tens of millions ofAmericans every day, a film critic's job is like a winning lotteryticket. But there IS work involved, and it can be painful -- and thenext time someone tells me I have the best job in the world, I'm goingto grab them by the ear, fourth-grade-teacher-in-1966-style, and dragthem to see Deck the Halls."

I saw this at a sneak preview, and overall it was not that bad. It even had a couple of good chuckles, especially in one scene with De Vito and Broderick after Broderick's character almost drowned and froze in a lake. I'm going to see Santa Clause 3 this weekend, and will let you know which I think is the worst holiday movie. ]]> Wed, 22 Nov 2006 04:03:23 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1456&PID=9760#9760 A Good Source of Holiday JEERS! : Don't worry, Head RAZZ will... http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1456&PID=9729#9729 Author: sportsartist24

Don't worry, Head RAZZ will be able to put UNACCOMPANIED MINORS in the radar of possible Razzie contenders. Not to mention it features a few newcomers, and actors that have been known for being in TV shows such as Wilmer Valderrama (That 70's Show) and Tyler James Williams (Everybody Hates Chris), plus it has Brett Kelley, who is also known for being in the film that came out 3 years ago and was for mature adults, BAD SANTA. My big questions are: Why the hell is Hollywood coming up with ideas to destroy holiday movies, and why the hell are they trying to ruin the holidays as well?
