Sci-Fi, Comedy, and Horror are the ones that come to mind. Anything serious can't be redeemed the worse it gets. And even among these specific genres it's touch and go. It works best with B-flick Sci-Fi and Horror IMO. Comedy sometimes works but not usually. There's a chance but looking at that cast I'd have to say it's probably just plain bad

so we went to IMDB to see what was on. Haven't been to a movie in a year.
Saw the name "Sandler" and thought "must suck." Rated pretty low so people must be coming based on the stars.
