When I go to a movie featuring a great cast and the film doesn’t live up to expectations, it bugs the living daylights out of me. What’s worse than a waste of talent? Answer: The two hours I spend sitting in a theater hoping for better. Which leads us to the Biggest Waste Of Talent I Saw In A Movie In 2009.
And the Jabby™ goes to:
Pirate Radio (aka The Boat That Rocked)
Blessed with a cast that included Bill Nighy, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Rhys Ifans, Kenneth Branagh (now directing Thor), and more, it could not measure up to its own stars. Worse yet, it was written and directed by Richard Curtis who made one of my favorite films in recent years, Love Actually.
