Pinocchio (2002)

When does a movie truly warrant a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes? When is the consensus of a film so uniformly terrible that fifty-two people from all over the world are repulsed into agreement? When does a viewer finally have to sit back and admit, "This is quite possibly the worst movie I've ever seen."

The answer to all three of those questions is Pinocchio, Roberto Benigni's directorial follow-up to his Oscar-winning Life is Beautiful. In his adaptation of the 19th Century children's classic, Benigni takes on the role of Pinocchio himself, though the actor playing the little boy was fifty years old at the time of the movie's release. Seeing Benigni frolic around in little boy's pajamas is downright ghoulish, particularly when juxtaposed against his bald spot. It's sad to watch a decrepit old man take on this role, and the entire affair is made even more horrifying is the English language dub in which Pinocchio is voiced by -- horrors -- Breckin Meyer.
