Just because you make it big as a singer doesn’t mean that you’re ready to take the lead role of a movie! Here are six pretty bad flicks with pop stars in the center:

Gigli (2003)

From our review: “Jennifer Lopez (or J-Lo, or Day-Glo, or Way-Slo, or whatever the kids are calling her these days) is a terrible choice for the role of Ricki. Just awful. She’s certainly not a convincing thug, can you believe her as a lesbian?”

Crossroads (2002)

From our review: “I’ve already run through three vocal ‘poor Britneys’ as she’s been the smart-yet-ignored-and-dating-Justin-Long one. I have no sympathy for incredibly gorgeous movie characters that somehow are portrayed as the outcast.”

Dune (1984)

From our review: “Patrick Stewart is in this, as is Sting (although both roles are awful and incomprehensible). The dialogue is about as stilted as reading most short stories from Beginning Creative Writing in college.”

Glitter (2001)

From our review: “Glitter is the fictitious Behind the Music of a singer named Billie Frank who looks, I swear to God, exactly like Mariah Carey. The fact that the main character’s name was comprised of not one, but two, boy’s names gave my friends and I ample proof that this movie was conspicuously designed to appeal to drag queens from coast to coast.”

Spice World (1997)

From our review: “The most frustrating aspect of Spice World is that between wanting, REALLY WANTING, to slap these girls with a halibut, there are instances of humor and admirable weirdness that keep it from being a total wash.”

Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (1978)

From our review: “Frampton and the Bee Gees rightfully had their own hits, but their musical styles are so contrary from the Beatles as to be distracting. About the time Barry Gibb is crooning (CROONING!) out John Lennon’s proto-punk banger, ‘Polythene Pam,’ you know all hope is lost.”
