The 15 Worst Biopics of All Time

"As with any biopic, when it's done right you may learn so much about a person that you feel like you know them personally. But if the filmmaker gets it wrong you may be provided an inaccurate, whitewashed, or just plain fanciful version of a person's life. There is no lack of enlightening biopics where you can mainline a person's achievements in two hours without having to, like, read a book about them. On the other hand, if you want to learn next to nothing about a person's achievements, there's no lack of crappy biopics either. Like the failed projects on this list, films that managed to fail for reasons ranging from bad casting to bad scripting to taking too many liberties with the subject's life story. So in the spirit of celebrating lousy movies, here's our ranking of 15 biopics that clearly misunderstood their assignment."
