Cameron Diaz is known more for her California blonde beauty and less for her stellar acting chops - but she always manages to shine onscreen. However, her Achilles heel may have been found in box office bomb, The Box. (Click here to view the trailer.) The film has received harsh reviews - in fact it's already garnered the honor of being voted one of the worst movies of the year. Ouch. That's saying a lot, considering G.I. Joe: Rise of the Cobra was in theaters this summer! Details, via The Bosh: [Cameron Diaz's new film The Box has been voted one of the
worst films of all time by moviegoers - just days after its U.S. release.
The
thriller, based on Richard Matheson' 1970 short story Button, Button, has been
panned by film buffs in America, with officials at CinemaScore, who monitor fan
reaction to movies, giving the flop an F rating - the lowest score
possible.
Company boss Ed Mintz says, "People really thought this was a
stinker."
Mintz rates the film as the fourth least popular this decade,
behind 2006 horror Bug, Wolf Creek in 2005 and Darkness, which came out in
2002.]
Diaz shouldn't shoulder all the blame - high hopes were also pinned on Richard Kelly to bring home a hit. Kelly helmed the beloved cult flick Donnie Darko, but has had difficulty replicating that success ever since. Looks like this project will not be the one to break his curse. Meanwhile, Cameron and her giggling will carry on - she's currently braving working with Tom Cruise. If that doesn't show balls, I don't know what does!
