The 10 Worst Movies I Have Ever Seen: #9

Raise Your Voice, dir. Sean McNamara

The only movie I could tolerate Hilary Duff in was The Lizzie McGuire Movie. That is not saying much. She seemed comfortable in that role because she had been playing it on TV for a while. She was wasted in Agent Cody Banks and merely okay in A Cinderella Story. In Raise Your Voice, she is abysmal. Definitely the worst performance of her career and the worst movie she has appeared in. Duff overacts every scene she's in. The most horrifying scenes are the ones where she is crying. They go way over the top and if the memories of her brother dying cause her to go into rage filled crying fits, every-fucking-time, she should be submitted to a psychiatrist or become institutionalized. Another horrifying scene is where Duff tries to act "street." Holy shit. That has to be one of the most cringe inducing moments in movie history. The absolute only good part in this movie is when she sings at the end. That is the Hilary Duff seen in The Lizzie McGuire Movie. She lets her natural charisma shine through. Everything before that moment and after it is dreadful. This film is a load of crap.
