#11: Most Overrated Films

Now I'm not saying that these films are awful (well, except for the first three). I'm just saying that people seem to like these films a bit more than they deserve.

1. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest: This is my least favorite film ever. I know it's a book, but I haven't read it, so I can't exactly speak about that. I can only attest to the film. I saw it when I was going through my AFI "Top 100 Films" list. I heard so many people talk about how important and inspirational it is, and I can't tell you how many men have told me that it's their favorite film of all time. When I saw it, I understood why. It's basically a dick waving film, no doubt a testosterone-fueled reaction to the feminist movement in the late sixties and early seventies.
2. Garden State: I don't know where to start. This film is... ridiculous. Sophomoric. And it rips off Judy Berlin, a great film from 1999. I love Zach Braff so much that I really wanted to like it, but I couldn't even finish it. Awful.
3. Superbad: Even dorky guys wanna get laid. Shocker. Good job bringing Porky's into the millennium, Apatow wannabes.
4. Pulp Fiction: I give Quentin props for the nonlinear narrative structure. Love that. The rest? Eh...
5. Napoleon Dynamite: Moderately humorous, but earth-shatteringly funny? Mmmm, no.
