Rotten Banana Awards

Movieguide® Picks the 20 Worst Movies of 2011

Kevin Smith’s Christian-bashing movie RED STATE has been named the worst movie of 2011 by Movieguide®, Publisher Dr. Ted Baehr announced today.

RED STATE heads the list of the “20 Most ‘Unbearable’ Movies of 2011” receiving the Annual Rotten Banana Awards from Movieguide®, the family guide to movies and entertainment. RED STATE was called the “Worst Ultimate Christian Bashing.”

Following closely on RED STATE’s heels were BUCKY LARSON:  BORN TO BE A STAR, which received the “Slimy Pornification Award”; A GOOD OLD FASHIONED ORGY, which received the “Abhorrent Sexcapade Award”; THE SKIN I LIVE IN, which received the “Lurid Transgender Abuse Award”; and, HAPPY FEET TWO, which earned the “Environmentalist Hysteria Award.”

“Most of these movies made very little money,” Dr. Baehr noted, “which shows the good taste of not only the vast majority of Americans but also the vast majority of moviegoers overseas.

“People want to see Good conquer evil, Liberty conquer tyranny, Truth wipe out falsehood, Justice defeat injustice, and Beauty overcome ugliness,” he added. “These films fail to do that in the worst ways.”

Movieguide®’s explanation of why these particular 20 movies were picked includes the following statement:

“These films have been chosen not necessarily because they have sex, violence, nudity, or profanity, but because they have a worldview antithetical to the biblical worldview. They communicate philosophies that, in the final analysis, are anti-human and anti-God and that can only lead to disaster. It should be noted that some of these films are very entertaining and liked by many Christians. Furthermore, many of them have positive values interwoven with their negative messages. Therefore, this list is to help you wrestle with the theological issues involved and to help others with the false philosophies in these movies.”

Here is the list of the 20 worst movies of 2011, with their awards and a description of the themes that landed them on the list:
