The 19 Worst Movies Of 2014, According To Rotten Tomatoes

Finding ourselves at the jolliest time of the year -- the season where all the talk is about Oscar nominations and best performances -- it really is devilishly delightful to remember that not all movies were created equal. Some may have had millions of dollars at their disposal and even starred Hollywood's biggest names, but that doesn't mean they were worth the price of admission or the time away from family, friends or vacuuming your room.

Looks like Johnny Depp, Diane Keaton and Mark Wahlberg couldn't save these movies from the biting words of top reviewers. Nic Cage gets a special shout out for having two films on this list. Below, find the 19 worst-reviewed movies of 2014 -- and remember, we still have 20 days left in the year!
