    Ben Stiller. I just can't get into anything he's in. He's just reading lines, nepo-baby for sure.

    Exceptions: dodgeball, and tropic thunder, holy FUCK is he funny in tropic thunder

      I came here to say Will Ferrell with the same exception, then read your post.

      Stranger Than Fiction shows Will Ferrell is perfectly capable of being a good actor playing interesting roles, but chooses to just play low effort trash.

      I feel the same way about Adam Sandler except for Punch Drunk Love. the right role makes a big difference.

        The producer character was his idea.

        I would like to think that down deep Tom Cruise is fucking hilarious and not some insecure nut.

          Walton Goggins and Will Arnett. I dunno why, I don't like their acting and they look creepy to me.

            I will never understand the accolades. His movies aren't funny, his schtick is old after like 30 seconds and Annie Hall was fucking dull as shit.

            Having grown up through the 80s I hate them. Shit like his nonsense is one of the many reasons why.

                For example, I don't like Will Ferrell in his typical roles. Oh they just drive me batty.

                But. I do love Stranger Than Fiction. It's such a cozy movie.

                  Owen Wilson. He has one tone and always looks spaced out.

                    This is the first one I agree with.

                    Everything I hear about him manages to make me hate him even more than I already did. On top of all of that he can't act.

                      I was told Annie Hall was his best. I got to the scene in the movie theater line and turned it off. His jokes are so obvious that I think his fans feel smart predicting what's going to happen next.

                        That's sad. I'm a single dad who has maybe shouldered more than my share, to put it a little mildly, so it resonates. The optimist in me hopes there's more to the story or that the kid is an unredeemable psychopath.

                        At 6, it's practically a guarantee. All kids are psychopaths until about 10.

                        My cousin once stabbed me in the leg with a pair of scissors and thought it was hilarious.

                          His real life is so much creepier than his acting.

                            Minecraft movie would have been so much better without Jack Black.

                            The Minecraft movie was terrible though. Swapping him out with a different actor wouldn't have helped.

                            It was a huge movie and the whole thing looked like they had a budget of about $20 and about $19 went on the set so they had to get the script written by somebody they hired of fiver

                                I like watching Walton Goggins in some roles, but the man himself gives me the stranger danger willies in interviews, etc.

                                  Vin Diesel. Nothing against the guy personally, but his whole dumb guy thing just irks me.

                                    John C Riley is an uncomfortable mess in everything he's in and I cannot stand it. The exception is everything he's in, which is delightfully uncomfortable.

                                        Hollywood is starting to make me dislike Pedro Pascal only because he's in EVERY DAMN THING.

                                        I actually like the guy, but overexposure is a thing. And he could stand to just chill for a little while.

                                        I don’t mind since he’s such a good person in real life, but I see how overexposure can be a problem

                                          I absolutely agree with you about Stranger Than Fiction. Mine would be Adam Sandler, do not like that style of comedy. The only exception is Punch Drunk Love. One of my favourite movies! Also Jim Carey, except for Yes Men.
