There's tons of movies that critics (and/or the general masses) seemed to love but I personally hate. I'm curious to what other movies out there people hated and, if you can explain it, why?

The first one that comes to mind for me is "Meet the Parents."

Every time I watch that, it gets me angry. Every single overly elaborate thing that people found funny (like, say, the urn), I found irritating. Seriously, I've had days where everything that can go wrong does go wrong and I can look back and laugh at it. I can't, however, laugh about what happens for his character. The movie, as a whole, was just too contrived for my tastes.

So, what movies do you guys hate that the critics or masses love?
