Even to this day, the answer without question has to be Rosie O'Donnell as Betty Rubble.

She has a two for the price of one....she was also horrifically miscast in a role that Madonna backed out of, in Exit To Eden.

The book was softcore porn. To this day I have no idea what anyone was thinking with that casting.

Any John Wayne role where he's not a cowboy or soldier.

Of recent movies, I would mention Sean Penn in All The King's Men. Sean Penn is a sleazy creep and is great at playing sleazy creeps. But Huey Long's public persona was a charming, smiling, backslapping good ole boy who could sell ice to Eskimos. Sean Penn couldn't give away free boudin to Coonasses.

Kate Bosworth was a really bad choice for Lois Lane from the beginning.

I think Katie Holmes was a worse choice. And Nolan realized that she couldnt act and got her out.
Could you imagine Holmes doing the scene on top of the roof when the building is about to blow?
I dont need all my actresses to be smoking hot.I actually like when they can act, and Maggie Gyllenhall can, so it didnt bother me at all.

Superman was a statutory rapist as Lois would have been about 16 when he knocked her up. Bosworth is very close to the worst miscsast but Rosie still wins.

Exit to Eden was supposed to be a sexual thriller staring Madonna and then in the end we get freaking Rosie in leather lingerie.

My favorite "Kazaam" story involves Shaq coming back to talk to all the LSU athletes in the Cox Center a few years back...

During a period where he answered questions, someone (I can't recall which team they were on) sarcastically asked, "When will there be a Kazaam sequel?"

Shaq responded, without missing a beat, "It's on the way, we're still casting, but there's a love scene with your mother..."

BOOM!

While I kinda agree with that, the whole point of the Rachel character is one who Harvey (high profile politician) and Bruce (billionaire playboy) are essentially fighting over. It boils down almost solely to attractiveness for me. And no offense to MG, but she is nowhere near attractive enough to fill that role.

Just made it unbelievable for me that these two dudes would be fighting over an ugly-to-marginally-attractive chick.

That's epic.

Sometimes I still can't believe he went to LSU. Shaq transcends the NBA celebrity-wise.
