Date Movie is as crude, tasteless and cheap as a movie the Farrelly brothers might’ve made during adolescence. And since the year has only just begun, let’s tack on 2005 and proclaim this the worst movie of the last year and a quarter… Oh, what the hell—the last decade.

Walk the Line arguably boasts two of the most dazzling, Oscar-worthy performances of the year from Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon. It's just a shame the biopic isn't as brave. After all, Johnny Cash wasn't "The Man in Black" just for his wardrobe alone.

Between the two of them, Ridley Scott and Orlando Bloom have picked up their swords for Gladiator, Troy and The Lord of the Rings trilogy. And that's the problem.
