The 12 Worst Happy Madison Films of All Time

2. Grandma’s Boy

If you haven’t caught onto the game already, then you’ve already come to the realization of Sandler’s casting antics, which consist of his homeboys and comedic counterparts reappearing in 90 percent of all HM films. While Grandma’s Boy kept the billion-dollar comedian behind the scenes, it was someone’s incredible idea to attach BFF and standby regular, Allen Covert, as the lead—playing a 35-year-old accountant who quits his job to pursue his lifelong dream as a video game tester for Game Informer magazine. While diehard gamers live and die by the film for its cultural gaming roots, it doesn’t take the casual or avid player to understand how incredibly horrible this film is. Bad timing, lack of star power, mindless humor, cradle-snatcher innuendos…20th Century Fox needs to dump this in the same landfill Atari dumped its 2600 E.T game in.

1. Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star

It takes serious effort for a film to score a zero percent rating on Rottentomatoes.com, but Happy Madison defied all odds. And to add more salt to the wound, Bucky Larson managed one of the worst studio openings of all time its first weekend: $1.5 million. This atrocity stars once-promising comedian, Nick Swardson, as a naive Iowa man with a pageboy haircut and bucktooth mouth who has aspirations of becoming a porn star. Grade-A material, huh? Unfunny, putrid, and absolutely excruciating to watch, you’d find more enjoyment at a 25 cent peep show than watching this movie. Then again, the same can be said for most of the production company’s work. The lowest of the low.
