What is the most amateurish script ever written?


What's the most amateurish, simple script ever got made into a film. And by that I mean regarding the writing, as you see the way it is written, you can tell if it's professional or written by an amateur with very simple english etc. And still got made into a film. Any suggestion?

Cellular. Worst movie ever.

I thought Cellular was pretty good, except for the overused car driving head on into traffic thing.

My worst script is Peter Jackson's King Kong. Horrible writing.

If you think "Cellular" was the worst movie ever, then you haven't watched many movies. Believe me, there are far worse movies. I've seen movies that make "Cellular" look like "Gone With the Wind." Ugh.

Well there are countless horrible screenplays.... but recently?
Has anyone seen The Hunting Party yet? Horrible voice-overs, terrible character development, absolutely no comedic timing (granted, this is partly the actors' fault)... this is one of the most blatantly horrible screenplays I've seen in a long time. I had to leave a half hour in because the dialogue was so awful. Not even the "you should have stayed because it gets better" kind of awful. It was unredeemably bad.
