From Jason X to Glitter, these are the worst movies from 2001.
2001 once seemed like a far-off and borderline otherworldly year, much like the year that immediately preceded it: 2000. Fittingly, it was a pivotal year for both novel and film versions of 2001: A Space Odyssey, both of which anticipated the wondrous technology that would propel humanity deep into space, as far as Jupiter and even beyond. Humans, in the story, were capable of anything in this year, and the possibilities of what could be found outside Earth inspired awe.
9 'Sweet November' Speaking of good actors being wasted, Sweet November stars both Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron . It's a romantic drama that couldn't be considered anywhere near the top of either actor's body of work, and despite both Reeves and Theron remaining prominent actors in the years that followed, this film's been largely forgotten.
It centers on the son of a mafia boss being asked to infiltrate the FBI, in the process destroying key evidence that could be used to send said boss to jail. Goofy slapstick ensues, and though the lowbrow and blunt humor might work for some, others will undeniably be frustrated that that's really all the film has to offer. Insert obvious joke about it being an offer you can refuse here.
The first two movies in the series had the titular character adapting to life in New York City after living in the Australian Outback, with this third movie, released in 2001, "mixing it up" by taking place in where else: Los Angeles. It maintains the lackluster quality found in the first sequel, which came out in 1988, and made far less money than either of the first two movies, effectively ending the series.
4 'Cruel Intentions 2' A direct-to-video follow-up to Cruel Intentions that was originally conceived as the pilot for a prequel TV series, Cruel Intentions 2 is pretty bad, and hard to recommend to even big fans of the original. It details how two characters from the first film, Sebastian Valmont and Kathryn Merteuil, met and began having cruel intentions toward others or whatever.
2 'The Animal' Though he sadly never played an actual carrot, Rob Schneider did play many eccentric characters at the height of his popularity, predominantly throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s. There were a string of these that somehow kept getting made, including 1999's Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo and 2001's The Animal.
