A quite often humorous recalling of some of the worst films of all times. It's a bit dated as there have been many remarkably bad films that have been released in the last 30 years, but many classic films are included that need to be remembered and treasured.
At the end of the book the authors state that one of the films mentioned is fake and challenge us to find it, which may have meant a few hours perusing through old books back upon "The Golden Turkey Awards" release but these days just means a few minutes typing film titles into IMDB.

For a book about bad movies, this should be more entertaining. Still, if you are a movie buff, this is worthwhile.
I used to enjoy Michael Medved: before he went crazy. He was more entertaining when he gave out Golden Turkeys, as opposed to becoming one.
