With 15 critics chiming in on Rotten Tomatoes, Curly Sue managed to pull in two positive reviews. One, which awarded the film three out of five stars, called it "a violent, offensive comedy." The other, bizarrely, came from Roger Ebert, who stated in his opening paragraph, "Curly Sue is a cornball, soupy, syrupy, sentimental exercise in audience manipulation, but that's the good news, because this is a movie that works. I don't know how and I don't know why, but somehow the film got around my guard, overcame my cynicism, and left me sitting there with a grin on my face." Maybe he was just having a good day. In any case, he still gave it a higher score than Labyrinth.
Curly Sue's 13% critical approval rating inches out Carell's second most maligned movie, 2004's tween comedy Sleepover. From an audience perspective, the unquestionably funky Bewitched movie from 2005 takes the cake, impressing only 28% of moviegoers. For what it's worth, Carell would go on to be nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor in 2015's Foxcatcher, receive near universal acclaim for his work in dramas like Little Miss Sunshine and The Big Short, and perhaps most impressively, prove that "that's what she said" could still be funny in 2013 during the finale of The Office.
But he was also a waiter with no lines in a poorly received Jim Belushi movie in the early '90s. Now you know.
