Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Welcome to The Festival of Flops, a three-day torture session of dreadful movies. This year we are focussing on bad performances by singers in the movies. Our first showing is the acting debut of diva Mariah Carey in a rags to riches story about a singer. What gem of a film won her a Razzie in 2002?

Answer: Glitter

Poorly written and acted, 2001's "Glitter" was a box office failure. Critics thought Mariah Carey looked uncomfortable on screen.

The movie stars Carey as Billie, a singer who rises above her heartbreaking childhood and gets discovered by a DJ. He becomes her lover and mentor as she weaves her way through the complexities of stardom.
2. Relax and get yourself some popcorn for this movie, that is if you don't lose your appetite! This 2003 romantic musical stars the winner and runner-up from the first "American Idol" television show. Unfortunately this couple has neither chemistry nor charisma. What is the title of this beach party flop?

Answer: From Justin to Kelly

"From Justin to Kelly" was created by "American Idol's" production company, 19 Entertainment, to capitalize on the newly found fame of winner Kelly Clarkson and runner-up Justin Guarini. What ensued was a box office bomb. In 2005 it won the Razzie for "Worst Musical of our First 25 Years".

The musical is an update of a 50's beach party, where a young woman named Kelly travels to Miami with her friends for spring break. She meets Justin, who is there with his college buddies, and the two form an immediate attraction. Her friend sabotages the budding romance, which brings the question -- will the two ever unite?
3. You might already be full of popcorn, but don't worry about having one of those large drinks. You could use a break or two during our next film... The 2010 movie "The Last Song" is a syrupy coming-of-age melodrama that tries to introduce which former Disney channel television star and pop singer as a bona fide actress?

Answer: Miley Cyrus

After the success of her children's television show "Hannah Montana", singer Miley Cyrus saw "The Last Song" as her vehicle to adult audiences. The movie performed weakly at the box office with mostly negative reviews. Critics were harsh with Cyrus's limited acting ability.

Cyrus plays rebellious teen Ronnie, whose parents are divorced. She is sent to spend the summer in a small beach town with her father. Her angry ways are softened after she falls in love with a boy, and learns to reconnect with her father through their passion for music.
4. Time for a little action now. The Festival of Flops presents you with a piece of cyberpunk. This cheesy 1992 futuristic sci-fi thriller deals with immortality and time travel. What movie has Mick Jagger playing a body-snatcher on the hunt for Emilio Estevez?

Answer: Freejack

The nonsensical script and cheap special effects of "Freejack" contributed to its failure at the box office. Critics thought Jagger was one-dimensional.

Vacendak (Jagger) leads a team of technicians sent back in time to capture race car driver Alex Furlong (Estevez). They are hired by an aging magnate who wants to use Alex's body in a procedure to extend his life. The problem is that Alex escapes and Vacendak is determined to find him.
5. Your body is cramping from the theatre seats and your brain is cramping from the cinematic hubris you're watching, but still you await the 5th movie in the Festival of Flops... Having the widely panned movie "The Dukes of Hazzard" under her belt, this pop singer made a second acting attempt in a farce about slackers working in a warehouse club. Who stars in the 2006 movie "Employee of the Month"?

Answer: Jessica Simpson

Jessica Simpson's acting couldn't save "Employee of the Month" from negative reviews, although it did make a marginal profit.

Simpson stars as Amy, a new cashier at a Costco-like warehouse who finds herself courted by two rival workers. She will only date the employee of the month, so the two co-workers begin an intense competition for her affection.
6. The Festival of Flops likes diversity. Here is a movie with a best-selling soundtrack! You may be crying with the doves if you expect good acting to accompany the music in this movie. What semi-autobiographical film stars Prince as a musician nicknamed The Kid?

Answer: Purple Rain

1984's "Purple Rain" brought Prince to the big screen and propelled him to superstardom. Despite the poor acting and lame script, the movie made close to $70 million. The musical performances in the movie were its only saving grace, and the soundtrack to the film is often listed among the best albums in rock history.

Intermixed with incredible musical performances, the movie tells the story of a misunderstood musician (Prince) who is popular on the city's music scene. His life gets complicated when he takes an aspiring singer under his wing, and then loses her talents to a rival band. As he tries to win her back he discovers himself and mends his errant ways.
7. You are a sucker for punishment if you're still attending the Festival of Flops. Dim the lights, our 7th vanity project awaits us... You are spared the triple-feature of bad Madonna movies; instead you'll just view one. This shipwreck of a film is also directed by her then husband, Guy Ritchie. What remake of a 1974 Italian art-house film earned Madonna a Razzie?

Answer: Swept Away

2002's "Swept Away" was a box office bomb in the United States, and it went straight to DVD in the United Kingdom. It spawned two Razzies, one for "Worst Picture" and one for Madonna's performance as "Worst Actress".

The movie stars Madonna as Amber, a spoiled rich woman who abuses a deck hand on her private yacht. The tables are turned when the two of them become washed up on the shore of an island. She ends up depending on him for survival. They fight violently but, going against their socioeconomic roles, they also find themselves attracted to each other.
8. The Festival of Flops will now move on to a gripping crime drama. When he was twelve his mother was murdered; he was a child drug dealer; he survived being shot nine times -- and then he became a famous rapper. Director Jim Sheridan tried to bring his mythology to the silver screen, but failed to win over audiences and critics with a sanitized version. Who is the star of the 2005 gangster film "Get Rich or Die Tryin'"?

Answer: 50 Cent

In rapper 50 Cent's cinematic debut critics thought he was too impassive. "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" was a flop at the box office and received mostly negative reviews.

50 Cent, aka Curtis Jackson, stars as Marcus in a crime film roughly based on his own life. Marcus survives a traumatic childhood, makes a living as a drug dealer and winds up in prison where he befriends a man who supports his talent for rapping. Eventually Marcus leaves his life of crime to establish himself as a rapper. The film focuses less on music and more on inauthentic crime scenes. It flopped at the box office and received mostly negative reviews.
9. What is a film festival without some eye candy? This next movie has some spectacular costumes! Singing sensation Christina Aguilera tried to crossover into film with this clichéd story of a small-town orphan going to the big city to fulfill her dreams. In what 2010 musical did she co-star with Cher?

Answer: Burlesque

"Burlesque" was a box office bomb. It was a vanity project for Aguilera with a script that gave her nothing to work with. Critics panned the tame theatrics, predictable storyline and poor acting.

The movie is about a small-town girl named Ali (Aguilera) who moves to Los Angeles and ends up working as a waitress in a burlesque lounge. She becomes enthralled with the culture, and soon takes to the stage herself. Before long her talents make her the star attraction of the club, and she finds her dreams coming true.
10. Tighten your straightjackets; we are now ready for our final flop of the festival! With a pretense of wholesomeness in her cinematic debut, Britney Spears pouts and giggles her way through this predictable road trip movie. Which 2002 film feels more like a Britney product pitch?

Answer: Crossroads

"Crossroads" was a box office failure. Britney Spears, in a tie with Madonna, won a Razzie for "Worst Actress" in 2002.

Spears plays Lucy, a recent high school valedictorian, who goes on a road trip with two friends across the country. Along the way they discover things about each other and learn about themselves in the process.
