Robin Williams’ Top 10 Flops: Lame Dogs, Lightning Kids & Holiday Chaos

KEY POINTS

  • •Robin Williams appeared in over 60 films and won an Oscar for 'Good Will Hunting'.
  • •His 2015 movie 'Absolutely Anything' scored just 20% on Rotten Tomatoes and featured his voice as a talking dog.
  • •In 1996's 'Jack,' he portrayed a 40-year-old man trapped in a 10-year-old's body due to rapid aging.
  • •'A Merry Friggin’ Christmas' (2014) and 'Club Paradise' (1986) were also critical low points during his career.

Robin Williams, beloved comedy titan and Oscar winner for 'Good Will Hunting,' starred in over 60 movies. Despite blockbuster hits like 'Aladdin' and 'Jumanji,' not every flick hit the mark critically. From the 2015 alien-fueled dog-voice flop 'Absolutely Anything' (20% Rotten Tomatoes) to the bizarre 1996 'Jack,' where Robin plays a 40-year-old trapped in a 10-year-old’s body, critics weren't impressed. 2014’s 'A Merry Friggin' Christmas' (14%) earned snarky reviews calling it 'timid and morally dubious,' while 1986's tropical disaster 'Club Paradise' limped along at 11%. Even a David Duchovny-directed 'House of D' (10%) couldn’t save this talented icon from a few cinematic missteps.
