For example, I don’t like Will Ferrell in his typical roles. Oh they just drive me batty.
But. I do love Stranger Than Fiction. It’s such a cozy movie.
Adrian Brody, without exception

Robert Duvall. Don’t know what it is about him, but I have a real distaste for any role he’s played.
Anthony Mackie.
He has a face that is simultaneously smug and dumbstruck. He ruined Altered Carbon, he was the weakest part of the Falcon & Einyer Soldier series, and he just screams “Overrated” to me.
But he was ok in 8 Mile.
Timothy Olyphant. But he’s actually good in the new Alien Earth series.
Joaquin Phoenix, no exceptions. And it’s totally not fair. He’s a gifted actor, and I can’t stand him for some reason.
Ok I hate him too but Walk The Line was good
I feel like he played his role in Gladiator too well, and I didn’t like him for a while after that because he was such a good bad guy… But I’ve come around and really appreciate what he’s put out since, he’s a great actor.
Yeah, he’s really good at playing really punchable characters. The only movie I can think of where he played a decent person in is Signs, and I do think he was pretty good in that
Him and the one scene with the alien footage were the best parts of Signs
This is very similar to whatever beef I have with Sean Penn.
I can totally get that. Super punchable for some reason
Kira Sedgwick for decades, though I could never explain why — just something visceral in me. But her role as Wuntch (which ironically was supposed to make you hate her) on Brooklyn 99 was awesome, and I’ve enjoyed her work past and present ever since.
The pure hateful banter between Wuntch and Holt was priceless and she killed it.
Shia Labeouf. Generally I dislike him as an actor and almost everything he’s been in.
But he was great in lawless which is one of my favorite movies.
Steven Segal
I can’t stand Adam Sandler movies. Exceptions: The Wedding Singer and 50 First Dates.
Also Punch-Drunk Love.
Such a strange little, uhm, love(?) story!
He did a good job in Uncut Gems too.
I liked him a lot in “Spanglish” and “Reign Over Me.”
Whilst his acting is superb in that, I couldn’t finish the movie because it made me feel viscerally uncomfortably. It’s like a comedy character that has all comedy drained out, just a painful cringy cramp that won’t go away.
Still props for the acting job.
That’s that. 📞
I bought a lot of pudding.
This and Stranger than Fiction are my two go-to “dislike the actor except for in _____” movies. Tends to be comedians stepping out of their narrow role to do something serious and experimental.
Also you can’t lose with Jon Brion composing.I bet all those underscores are going to render weird.
Or you just really like Drew Barrymore movies!
Click is great if you can get over the toilet humour
The original Benny Hill version was better (and shorter.)
The family message isn’t very strong in this one, but it is very funny
I’m the same but different. The only one I really like is Billy Madison because it leaned hard into its own absurd premise, went to absurd extremes, and arguably created the prototype of the plot that every other Sandler movie would follow.
Uncut Gems was great. Hustle is good. Spaceman is weird as fuck, but in a compelling way.
And here is me that Adam Sandler movies are my guilty pleasure, as a manner of speak I guess (I don’t hide it haha).
I think they’re great but I’ve no need to convince anyone of that. They’re mostly fun movies with a kind message in them.
Jamie Foxx and his associates were at an adjacent table at at restaurant in LA years ago. He was a total cunt to wait staff. Pure asshole to his core. Restaurant comped our meal because he ruined the evening for everyone.
That’s fucking disappointing to know.
Steven Seagal, he’s complete garbage on every level. He can’t act, he can’t run, he’s a sex trafficker and rapist, and his whole career was started with a bet by producers to make the most incapable and unlikable person famous.
Also, aikido, he can’t even do a stupid useless fake “martial art” invented to sell to suburbanite children properly.
Unpopular opinion but Harrison Ford is a terrible actor. He’s literally just a guy that shows up on set and reads some lines. Zero range, zero character.
Haha, will Ferrell as well!
Except Lego movie. (Haven’t seen stranger than fiction but I’m led to believe that would be the second exception to my “I can’t stand will Ferrell” rule, and a rule is only allowed 1 exception)
Definitely recommend it, it’s a major departure from his usual hijinx. It’s a genuinely sweet and quirky movie.
You stole mine.
