23 Worst Romantic Comedies in History

There's nothing worse than spending Valentine's Day with a heartbreakingly bad movie. Sure, most romantic comedies are predictable, unrealistic and corny. But some films are so bad, they're actually good.

These are not those kind of flicks; their screenwriting, acting and "plot twists" are so unforgivable, they leave you more embarrassed than entertained. In fact, you might not even make it through the whole thing.

With the help of IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes, we've gathered a list of the worst romantic comedies. Take a hint from these critiques and steer clear, especially if you're trying to impress that special someone.
