It's tough to find movies that were generally disliked by critics that I have liked.

Main in Manhattan was Pretty woman extra light and nowhere near as good IMO - and Ralph Fiennes is one of my 3-4 favourite actors and I am not opposed to Jenny from the block either. It just felt like a total PC ripoff of Pretty Woman.

But hey it is a guilty pleasure for you and I didn't think it was terrible. I believe Fiennes said he only did the movie for a paycheck to help fund the David Cronenberg movie "Spider."

If I had to choose - it might be those Gene Wilder/Richard Pryor films - See No Evil, Hear No Evil was particularly disliked by critics that amused me - but it would not be a film I would go out and see again. Just that I thought it was funny enough at the time.

Okay i have one - If it comes on the tube I usually tend to watch it - it's NOT a good movie and yet for whatever reason I enjoy it. John Candy is probably the reason why because he was so amiable that he manages to carry a lot of the dreadful movies he was in.

Summer Rental.

And you could probably add Spaceballs as well.
