Age of The Nerd
We always love it when people use different computations from various sources in order to come up with their listicles that depict the best and worst in various categories. So we were very pleased to see what the folks over at bingofind.com have done in order to come up with their lists of actors and actresses that you are most likely to see in good and bad movies. They used information from both Metacritic and Box Office Mojo to come up with interesting charts that are worthy of a shoutout.
From their well-presented charts, we have decided to take a closer look at the one that displays the five actresses that you are most likely to see in a bad movie. In all honesty, we were not the least bit surprised to see all of these ladies making their way onto the list. While it is not flattering, it doesn’t actually reflect how well or bad they have done during their careers in Hollywood.
1. Hillary Duff
Hillary Duff, the former Disney star, is at the apex of the list with a combined average career score of just 34. It includes 31% mixed and 69% negative review scores from Metacritic. While she did come to prominence during her Lizzie McGuire years, after that she failed to make a successful transition to the big screen. She most recently appeared in The Haunting of Sharon Tate and that’s pretty much it.
2. Courteney Cox
Courteney Cox is probably best known for her terrific portrayal of Monica Geller in the hit sitcom Friends and appearing as Gale Weathers in all 4 Scream movies that have gained cult status. Though she did appear in many movies and had the lead role in other TV shows, nothing comes even remotely close to the aforementioned successes. She has an 8% positive score, 38% mixed and 54% negative, for a total average score of 39.
3. Bella Thorne
Bella Thorne has the same score as Courteney Cox but consists of just 36% mixed and 64% negative. She is another Disney star who shot to fame thanks to her role as CeCe Jones on Shake I Up that lasted for 3 seasons. She has remained very active with a string of TV roles and smaller movie roles, and she does have a dozen projects in pre and post-production. She is due to appear in the action-crime thriller Infamous, set for a June 12 release at drive-ins across the USA.
4. Jessica Alba
Jessica Alba has an identical overall score as the previous two actresses. She gained prominence after she appeared with Michael Weatherly for two seasons in James Cameron’s Dark Angel, leading to more high profile appearances in Fantastic Four, Sin City, and Mechanic: Resurrection. She can be currently seen in the second season of L.A.’s Finest alongside Gabrielle Union and has signed up to star in the thriller Trigger Warning for Netflix.
5. Ali Larter
Ali Larter comes in fifth place with an average career score of 40%, made up for 50% mixed, and 50% negative scores. After appearing in a handful of small TV roles, she got her big break in Final Destination 1 and 2 in the early 2000s and gained even more exposure as Nicole Sanders in the NBC hit show Heroes. Since then she has appeared in The Rookie, Splitting Up Together and Resident Evil: The Final Chapter.
