I've been watching a lot of Netflix on my iPad while I nurse... and I recently watched "LOL" (starring Miley Cyrus and Demi Moore), and want my 2-hours back!!! I wanted a lighthearted, easy to watch movie that didn't require a lot of thinking... well, this one definitely fit the bill and then some!
Have you seen any craptastic movies on Netflix lately?

I don't remember the name of it but it was a romantic comedy featuring Natalie Portman and Ashton Kutcher. Super dumb!

Definitely DON"T see Seven Psychopaths - we thought it would be sort of a funny, entertaining movie and it was SO grotesque we turned it off halfway through.

And this is why we cancelled Netflix... Too long without finding a decent movie!

I heard so many good things about "Jiro Dreams of Sushi"-- a documentary about the world's best amazing sushi chef-- I LOVE food and docs, but this was a total snoozefest.

@.twist.: Well um...I love that movie, I think it's hilarious, so...I don't know. I'd recommend watching it!

@.twist.: I loved No Strings Attached! My husband and I laughed out loud at a lot of parts! I think I've watched it several times...which might mean I have really bad taste in movies! 
I watched a terrible movie about a couple who had sex and the condom broke so they went to get the morning after pill. He couldn't trust her to take it properly (2 doses) so he hung out with her all day and all of these secrets were revealed. It was awful.

@Sammyfab: OK I am glad someone else liked No Strings Attached, now I don't feel bad. My sister and I quote it randomly sometimes.
"We're not pumpkins, we're ladies!"
"Then why are you so orange?"

aww I really liked both "No Strings Attached" AND "Bachelorette!"
I tried to watch Melancholia but was totally bored by the first 5 minutes though

@IRunForFun: hahaha. I would probably quote the movie too if I remembered the lines. After we watched the movie, DH and I did comment to one another that there were SO MANY hilarious one-liners!

@Sammyfab: There are!

@HabesBabe: aww, I loooved 'Jiro Dreams of Sushi', thought it was bloody brilliant.

@Mrs. High Heels: To stick with the original thread...
Don't watch Insidious. It looked like a good horror movie, and actually start out in a promising manner, but turned soooo bad and cheesy in the end.
ETA: Also, do not watch Hachi: A Dog's Tale, unless you want to vomit from crying really hard.
blogger / eggplant / 11551 posts
@IRunForFun: i don't go near anything in the "horror" genre... i don't even watch movies if the cover looks scary to me!

@IRunForFun: my husband's best friend told us he cried watching that!
pomelo / 5509 posts
@dagret: Ugh. I could. not. stop. Full-on gasping for breath ugly cries. It was a great movie, but omg, so sad.

Oh lord, Bachelorette was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Same with No Strings Attached.
And I loved Jiro Dreams of Sushi!

@IRunForFun: Hachi looked so sad, there is no way I could put myself through that!
I actually pretty weary of a lot of netflix movies, so many of them are just so bad! DH made me watch Warrior I think its called recently, its about mma, it was totally depressing, and never redeemed its self. Not a fan!
GOLD / pomelo / 5737 posts
@HabesBabe: Same thing, I have been wanting to watch Jiro Dreams of Sushi!
hostess / wonderful watermelon / 39513 posts
I didn't mind Bachelorette. I watched What to Expect When you are expecting last night....it was kinda boring to me!

@Mrs. High Heels: I know you didn't ask this but we watched Gifted Hands last night on Netflix and it was SO good!!!
Movies not to watch... The Machinist,Boy in the Striped Pajamas (soooooo sad).
blogger / eggplant / 11551 posts
@Running Elley: Oo thanks, I'll put it in my queue! I watched "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas" and omg... so so sad, but I would still recommend it. I couldn't stop thinking about it!
"The Machinest" is actually in my queue - is it a bad movie? Christian Bale movies are usually so good!
coconut / 8681 posts
@Mrs. High Heels: The Machinist is pretty dark! And it's terrifying to see Christian Bale SO thin! It was a creepy movie IMO. I'm usually a huge fan of his movies too!
blogger / eggplant / 11551 posts
@Running Elley: not a fan of creepy, dark movies. guess that ones getting axed. thanks!

I don't know about movies to avoid but I highly recommend Jane Eyre (the one with Mia Wasikowska) and if you want cheesy fun, I really liked Limitless.

The girl next door
Omg I started watching it and got sick...I had no idea it was that kind of movie, i couldnt watch anymore. Ihad NP idea it was such a graphic story. i still have nightmares from it popping into my head. The sad thing is its based on a true story. Seriously never ever watch it. O couldn't even make it through half the movie it was so terrible to watch human suffering.
