The Worst George Clooney Movie of All Time, According to Critics

He's one of film's most charming leading men, but these movies earned his worst reviews.

George Clooney is one of the most charming actors working today—and that's been the case for decades. The star first earned swoons in stints on shows like The Facts of Life and Roseanne before breaking through on the hit medical drama E.R. Since then, he's become a celebrated actor, director, screenwriter, and producer, earning two Academy Awards. But with a filmography this extensive, there are surely some misses along the way, so what are the worst George Clooney movies of all time?

To find out, we consulted Rotten Tomatoes' ranked list of every George Clooney film, then focused our attention on the lower end of titles. These are the movies that earned less than 70 percent of critical approval, organized from the just OK to the truly terrible. Read on to discover which films Clooney's trademark likability couldn't save from bad reviews.
