Sometimes when musicians try their hands in movies it can be a disaster.   There are a lot of successful artists in music and film but there are many who just couldn’t make a smooth transition!   Here is my list of the 5 worst music movies (NOTE: I own most if not ALL of these which might say something about my character)

5. CAN’T STOP THE MUSIC:  This is a film loosely based on how the Village People formed.  It is 70’s ridiculousness combined with incredible cheese leading it to win the very first Golden Raspberry for worst film.  It stars Steve Guttenburg, the Village People and Bruce (now Caitlyn) Jenner!  NOTE: This is a fun watch and is kinda awesome!

4. GLITTER: Who wants to see Mariah Carey play a version of herself trying to be discovered in the New York music scene?  No one?  OK. Points the directors commentary where he even seemed disinterested in making this)

3.SPICE WORLD: This is a classic case where the Spice Girls were hot so they tried to capitalize on their success by making something that was kind of a movie but more like a super long music video.  The movie did well at the box office but was a critical nightmare and all the girls collectively won WORST ACTRESS at the Golden Raspberry Awards.

2.COOL AS ICE: Who was demanding a Vanilla Ice movie?  Also who was demanding a Vanilla Ice movie without any of his hit songs?  This movie is terrible…no seriously…terrible.  The movie got 11 Golden Raspberry nominations including Worst New Actor.

 

1. UNDER THE CHERRY MOON – Prince fired the director and that should say something.  Also I am a huge Prince fan and even I find this black and white (comedy) almost unwatchable. NOTE: Winner of 5 Golden Raspberry Awards. NOTE 2: Amazing soundtrack includes the song KISS.

What do you think?  What other movies should be in this category?
