Worst movie ever made? #99

Tattle Tale. Okay, it's a TV movie but it was pretty horrible and i felt i had to tell someone. It's not well known, but the people in it may be familiar:
C. Thomas Howell- Starred in Soul Man, ET and Red Dawn. Now you'd think with these good titles (Soul Man, while being controversial is actually very funny) behind him then he would have had the sense not to appear in this horrific movie. His characters name is Bernard Sprat.
Ally Sheedy- The woman who penned a bestseller when she was 12 starred in popular teen movie The Breakfast Club, sci fi thriller Wargames and St Elmos Fire stars as Laura Perot, Bernards ex-wife.

The plot is quite simple: Ex wife (Sheedy) makes up a bunch of BS to get her 'tell all' book published in an attempt to cash in on an affair with a dead man who had a lot of power. Ex husband (Howell) finds out she wrote him as a mean and abusive man when she was the one who was a bitch to him. So he and a friend (Amanda Elwes) plot to out Sheedy as a fraud. But, of course, this is harder than first thought.

The normally good actors were quite bad in this movie. Sheedy was over the top, but i imagine that had her character been real then her portrayal wasn't far off, but the character is still annoying. A good point though is that the (very few) chuckles that i got out of the scenes were due to her character.
Howell looked bored. Which i can certainly understand, the script is poor, the direction senseless and his shared scenes were either stolen from him due to him being asleep or they weren't worth stealing anyway.

i bought this for $3, it was worth 1. I tried to watch it again as i have a rule of not passing judgement on a movie until I've seen it more than once,i got 20 minutes into the movie and turned it off, knowing i wouldn't change my mind. The whole thing played like a filmed high school production. Not good. I'm dreading having to put a quote from this movie at the bottom as i never want to hear/see this movie a again. You know what? i'll just quote one of the other films i mentioned in this post. Because they were all way better.
