Julia Roberts, everyone's favorite Oscar-winning smile, has been tirelessly gracing screens for over 30 years—starring in everything from romantic comedies to crime thrillers (because why stick to one bad decision?). Among her cinematic gems are 2011's 'Love, Wedding, Marriage' where she only voices a therapist—earning a flawless 0% critic score, proving sometimes just showing up isn't enough. Then there’s 2016's 'Mother's Day,' where Roberts plays a mom who gave up her only child, earning an 8% from critics who clearly also gave up. Fred Gary Marshall directed both this and 2010’s 'Valentine's Day,' where Roberts’ love story ended less sweetly than a Delta flight babysitting session (critics said 17%). Oh, and 'Grand Champion' (20%) features Roberts in a tiny role mourning a calf—because nothing screams Oscar material like cattle drama. The cynical highlights include on-set feuding with Nick Nolte on 'I Love Trouble' (1994) (22%), and a pink Tinkerbell makeover on 'Hook' (1991), scoring a modest 29%. So for fans who thought Roberts was a flawless goddess of film, Rotten Tomatoes politely begs to differ.

Julia Roberts’ career proves even Oscars can’t save voice cameos, feuding journalists, and saving calves from the emotional abyss of 0% critics. She's the cinematic equivalent of mixing birthday candles with a fire extinguisher—hopeful chaos with predictable disaster.
