Leading the way for Worst Picture at the Razzies are the Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway-led fantasy thriller flick Serenity and the Keanu Reeves sci-fi film Replicas at +400 and +500 respectively. However, when it comes to Rotten Tomatoes Replicas got a 10% approval rating while Serenity garnered a 20% approval rating.
Another fun-filled fact you should know is that Keanu Reeves has been nominated for Worst Actor at the ceremony four times, and never won while McConaughey has never been nominated.

Prediction
While Serenity was completely and utterly awful, my vote goes to Keanu Reeves’ Replicas. If you didn’t see this movie, then good for you because you definitely avoided wasting your time. However, if you did see replicas, then you likely already know it was one of Reeves’ worst films ever. Unfortunately for me, I did see replicas and kept giving it ample time to ‘get good’ but the film never, ever got close to getting off the ground – and I’m a huge Keanu Reeves fan. I’m going with Replicas, but either of the top two films on the odds board could win this unwanted award!
Pick: Replicas
