Mars Needs Moms.
That one gave me nightmares, and it's supposed to be a kids film.
I was seven and I laid in bed for months, scared that bug-eyed Martians would come and take my mom.

all of the conflict arcs were basically nonexistent... the first conflict where the bearded lady was shy about her looks? settled in one song without talking about it. the 'freaks' being upset with pt barnum after he started to ignore them? settled in a song. his wife being upset with him after the jenny lind drama? finished in a song. the romance between zac efron and zendaya's characters was the only thing that had a bit of progression and hope for it, but right at the end it was all solved without talking about the subtle racism and societal issues in their relationship.
also all of the songs? basically pop songs masqueraded as showtunes. the other side is the only good song in the entire thing, and it also happens to be the ONLY ONE that is actually referencing what's going on. coincidence? i think not
I liked that movie as well, i don't even like musicals.
Spekaing of musicals did i ever mention how awful the original Annie is? It's trash compared to the 2014 version.

^I must disagree with you there. The original Annie is far superior, in my opinion, to the 2014 version. No one can replace Carol Burnett as Ms. Hannigan. Although I don't think the original is AMAZING, I do believe that it had its charms, while the remake just felt kinda flat.
A movie that I thought was completely terrible was Where the Wild Things Are. The plot was confusing and the whole movie was just awful. Also, against popular opinion, I didn't particularly like Up. Now I didn't detest it as I did Wild Things but it just didn't leave much of a mark on me. I thought it was boring, but maybe I just need to watch it again since it's been a while. I have to bend a little though because the beginning montage was beautiful and heartbreaking.
