My favourite Razzie ‘win’ was when the wonderful Halle Berry accepted her Worst Actress Award for Catwoman in person.
I actually enjoyed “Meet Dave”. Though, my son was cracking up and I’m sure his enjoyment added to mine.
I also think Markie Mark was horrible in The Happening. Every actor was, really. Soooo unbelieveable. Watching that SNL sketch about Markie Mark talking to animals didn’t help, either. I laughed the first time he spoke in The Happening after watching that sketch.
