San Francisco is often times called an intellectual city, with lots of cosmopolitan cultural offerings. In San Francisco, one can go hear a lecture or an author's reading, or get wine and cheese at corner bistro and sit in the dappled sunlight, reading Chaucer. This is about as ludicrous as anything I've ever heard, and here to prove that SF has a mean lowbrow streak are these awful movies presented in this guide. These movies are some of the most annoying movies ever made, and for all the disparate, varied annoying things they independently display, there is one common vein between them all, and that is the fact they're all based in San Francisco. Enjoy.
Mrs. Doubtfire
Robin Williams is an irresponsible man who brings a goat and a bunch of barn animals to his daughter’s birthday party, infuriating his wife Sally Field but delighting all the kids. Pierce Brosnan is the hunky new boyfriend of Sally, and Robin Williams dresses in drag to get his family back. Sally is a successful working woman so she has a huge Victorian that would cost like 20 million dollars. Great use of San Francisco, annoying movie, terrible dialogue and acting, a bourgeois look into SF family life.
The Sweetest Thing
If I saw girls that looked like Cameron Diaz and Christina Applegate in SF, I’d know they were annoying Marina girls and I’d probably want nothing to do with them. However, this movie is a raunchy hilarious guilty pleasure that makes me laugh every time. I mean, hello, Cameron Diaz gets poked in the eye by a penis that goes through a glory hole. Amazing!!! WTF.
Joy Luck Club
So apparently ALL ASIAN PEOPLE live in Chinatown. Or so this movie wants you to believe. Yes, SF does have the highest concentration of Asian people in any city outside of Asia so in a way this might be accurate. As a Chinese American though, I find it kind of stereotype-heaving – also amusing. This movie just really grated my nerves. I’ve never even seen a set of mahjong in my life but JLC wants you to believe that all old Asian grandmas spent all night playing mahjong and shooting snide remarks about each others’ ungrateful progeny.
Sweet November
So Charlize Theron is a free spirit but it’s only cuz she’s dying. Sounds like the worst set up for a movie I’ve ever heard. Ugh, Keanu Reeves = soooooooo freaking annoying. He’s awful. I don’t know. There is nothing I like about this movie. I even hated her wardrobe. Charlize Theron is all beige-like in this film. She’s always wearing these big weird beige sweaters and drinking tea and stuff, being all scarf-wearing in the November weather. Let me get something straight, SF does not have a November. It’s like moderate all year long and we don’t have seasons so I don’t get all this seasonal shit. Whatever. This movie blows.
40 Days and 40 Nights
What kind of pervert can’t go 40 days without sex? Like, a rapist pedophile? Oh, wait, no – just Josh Hartnett! I can’t think of a more stupid premise for a movie. It’s shocking suck a movie was even made. Josh Hartnett is possibly the most irritating person on the face of the planet. I don’t think I’ve seen one of his films I’ve liked, and it’s cuz he’s really really stupid. He’s so stupid he’s practically retarded, and you can tell when you watch his movies.
Bedazzled
Brendan Frasier is hella annoying and has a huge crush on the chick that was in Mansfield Park. Elizabeth Hurley is titties-out all over the place and grants him all this magical mojo to get her but in the end she wants his soul. There’s a lot of SF going on here. Really annoying movie though. Is Brendan Frasier even relevant anymore? What happened to him after George of the Jungle?
The Hulk
This movie is really stupid plus it’s set in SF so it makes it’s way onto my list. Eric Bana is a Berkeley research scientist who like makes some gamma nuclear or whatever explosion and becomes the Hulk. Kinda gross cuz before he becomes the Hulk he explodes all the test animals with his crappy science. Cool SF shots but this movie was terrible. I love Ang Lee though.
The Princess Diaries
Let me preface this by saying that The Princess Diaries holds a dear place in my heart. Yes the movie is bad and yes it’s annoying but there are some cool shots of SF – like when Anne Hathaway tries to drive her piece of shit vintage car up California Street and stalls (seriously this is like in every movie about SF though I have yet to see this happen in real life). One thing I liked about this movie was Anne’s hippie artist mom. She also lives in a sick townhouse. She’s also a princess. Yeah, I guess despite how bad this movie is, I like it anyway.
Sister Act
Whoopie Goldberg is perhaps the most irritating woman on the face of the planet. I don’t know why I hate her so much. Maybe it’s cuz she’s not funny at all. This movie is about nuns. I don’t want to be insensitive, but nuns kind of scare me. They’re just so… scary. They wear those scary robes and they’re all religious and shit and it’s vaguely terrifying. In Sister Act though, the nuns are mostly nice. Some of them are a little uptight but I guess it’s nothing a lil a cappela music can’t fix. Lots of heart swelling melodrama in this one. Avoid it if you can.
Romeo Must Die
So Asian people in Chinatown belong to weird kung fu gangs. According to Romeo Must Die, this is a fact. My name is Juliette so I am very protective of the Romeo and Juliet franchise. I didn’t even like Romeo + Juliet, the Baz Luhrmann edition. This was quite possibly 10000X worse though. Jet Li fights a lot and Aliyah is his love interest but they don’t even kiss in this movie and it’s just entirely unbelievable that ghetto thugs and Chinese kung fu ninja thugs have so much beef that they like, fight one another in the street without fear of getting arrested. God this movie is so stupid.

Thank you for not listing “So I married an axe murderer” as one of the annoying movies, because we all know that it is an awesome movie.

The Hulk was set in SF?… Wow, those gamma rays must’ve really affected Eric Bana because he looks a lot like Edward Norton in the sequel. Hulk SMASH!
