Award season contenders, they ain't. Lots of movies fall flat every year, with some failing to make enough money to justify their production and others getting horrible reviews (which can often cause the crappy box office). We rounded up the movies that failed to even break 20 percent on the Tomatometer, Rotten Tomatoes' review aggregator, in 2014. Not all of these did so badly with audiences, though, and you never know — some of these movies could be appreciated in the future. How many of these did you see?
Despite its big fan following, the box office take and the reviews of this adaptation were abysmal.
Poor Nicolas Cage. This drama only eked out two percent on the Tomatometer.
The scariest thing about this silly horror spoof is how poorly it was received.
Another movie that proved January is a cursed time to release a movie.
February is also bad — even if it's a Valentine's Day release.
Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler couldn't re-create the magic they've made on screen before with this limp family comedy.
This remake of a romantic drama had lots of kissing and even more cheesiness.
Nuts: this animated film didn't get the praise of say, a Pixar film.
As we have established, the greatest abs in all the land cannot save your movie. Not even Kellan Lutz's.

This horror movie was not quite the Rosemary's Baby for a new generation. The reviews were scary, though.
Even with Christopher Nolan as an executive producer and Johnny Depp looking fairly normal for once, this sci-fi thriller was a bust.
The combined power of Diane Keaton and Michael Douglas sadly went nowhere for this comedy.
It's a tale as old as time: big box office, terrible reviews.
