Has a film ever embarrassed you in the theater?

I took this arty chick I was dating to see Mortal Kombat. I have no idea what I was thinking.

That's awesome! I guess you weren't going for that painful and ironic moment, eh?
I took my wife to see Sex and the City. The movie was bad, really bad, but even she cringed at the horrible previews that were playing before the movie. I don't know if it was all one movie or several but it included ABBA, a search for someone's father and Greece. That one or two or four previews was/were excruciating even when compared to three hours of horrible writing that was the movie. At least Sex and the City mentioned Vivienne Westwood and I had a slight moment of connection.

Back in the day I was a huge Grease fan --- That said, I thought Grease-2 was embarrassingly bad.

As good as the first one was the second was terrible, heck it would have been terrible on it's own.

No movie has ever embarrassed me; however, I have been embarrassed for some of the actors and actresses on the screen. Bad acting is bad acting and a terrible script does not help; Phantom Menace was unbearable.

No, not at all. I was 20, probably high on something, and saw the ad with Goro and thought I'm going to see that come hell or high water.

She got me back when I went to visit her in Montreal, took me to see this, by telling me Harvey Keitel was in it:

To vlemma tou Odyssea (1995) - IMDb

It's Greek, and I watched it with french translations. I don't read french, at all.

You see the run time on that Bill? 176 minutes.

Stayed for the whole thing.

Yeah Howard the duck I thought W T F is this garbage!!

[Nostalgiabuff]

no, why should I be embarressed about a movie. I have cringed, laughed at the absurdity and even walked out, but never been embarressed.

[Brazoo]

I think he's asking if you find yourself in moments where your embarrassed for the people in the movie, not embarrassed for seeing the movie. At least that's how I took it.

Batman and Robin. Nuff said.

[MIB41]

Batman and Robin. Nuff said.

Oh your so right! That would have to rank high on my list as well.

[Nostalgiabuff]

I look at it this way, if I see a movie and it sucks then all i have lost is my 2 hours and maybe $10 but I rarely go to theaters anyway and when I do it is not likely to be a sucky movie.
i never feel embarressed watching a movie, although I will admit I have been emabarressed for the actor on occasion

Well, I wasn't the one embarrassed - but my dad was....no, more like mortified!

In 1978 he took his 8 year old (me) with him to see...ANIMAL HOUSE!!

He had no idea it would be as raunchy as it was. He told me later how embarrassed he was that he brought me with him to see it not realizing the full extent of a National Lam****s movie.

Having a 7 year old son at the moment, I can really relate now.

For my part, I enjoyed the movie and thought most of it was really funny- except a few parts I had to have him explain to me- like the rubber gloves in the convertible and Belushi dumping mustard on himself- and it was a few years before I really understood Belushi on the ladder at the sorority house scene.

My own personal embarrassment came not at the theater but home when I rented Three Kings (Three Kings (1999) - IMDb) to watch with my grand parents- not realizing just how course the language was...I could practically hear my grandparents cringing with every F-bomb and couldn't wait for the movie to end.

Well back in 83 I begged my dad to take me to see YOR THE HUNTER FROM THE FUTURE. Of course he took me to see it and immediately after the movie I remember him saying "That was a dumb movie". I could tell he was embarrassed seeing that movie but I of course even as a 9 year old saw its cheesiness but still liked it.
Nowdays I like the cheesiness!

Showgirls is the only one that comes to mind. One of my best friends t U rned 18 the day it opened and that's what he wanted to do.

Any movies showing female nudity when going to the movies with female relatives is very embassing, especially when you're a teen-ish

I think it was Save the last dance for me with Julia Styles and we had some of my friends young sisters in law with us , one scene got me worried and then watching jodie foster get naked in Nell with some other ladies present.
