  • Worse Than 'Riding the Bus with my Sister'?

       May 01, 2005

    Tonight CBS will broadcast "Riding the Bus with my Sister", a TV movie featuring Rosie O'Donnell as a mentally challenged woman and Andie MacDowell as the sister she inspires. While some bloggers can't wait to see this train wreck, the only way I'm less likely to watch this movie is if Rosie & Andie have two other sisters, played by Kellie Martin and Tyne Daly. But it did get me thinking. I wonder if the networks could come up with some TV movies that are even worse? Because I'm a giver too, I'm going to give them a hand. Here are my

    Top Ten Movies I'm Less Likely to Watch Than "Riding the Bus with my Sister"

    10. Riding in a Car at a Reasonable Speed with my Italian Secret Agent: the true-life tragic tale of freed Italian hostage Giuliana Sgrena (played by Susan Sarandon). She's freed from Iraqi insurgents by sexy Italian Secret Agent man Nicola Calipari (played by Tim Robbins) only to lose him to American "cowboys" on their way to freedom.

    9. The Lady of the Leash: In this explosive film, Cameron Diaz portrays the infamous Lyndie England. Is Lyndie a sadistic tramp, or is she merely a scapegoat for the real sadists, the US Military, as led by Donald Rumsfeld (Ed Asner, in his triumphant return to network TV)?

    8. Stop in the Name of Love!: A daring musical version of the life of murdered peace activist Rachel Corrie. Maggie Gyllenhaal plays Rachel while Linda Rondstadt plays her mother, who wants to make sure that her daughter didn't die in vain.

    7. Papa Don't Preach: What happens when a conservative President (played by the West Wing's Brad Whitford) finds himself faced with twin daughters (Hillary Duff & Lindsey Lohan) who are both facing unwanted pregnancies. Will this President practice what he preaches or will this help him see the light?

    6. Pacing The Cage: Sean Penn plays Ali, an Iraqi man who finds himself in Abu Gharib prison. Can he maintain his dignity in the face of torture?

    5. Foster vs. Foster: Jane Fonda plays Marcia Foster, wife of Georgia's Republican Senator. After she volunteers at a woman's shelter, Mrs. Foster begins to question her husband's policies. When he won't change his ways, she decides to take matters into her own hands and run against him in the next election. Will she win? Will their marriage survive?

    4. Living on the Air in America: This light-hearted comedy evokes the classic TV sitcom "WKRP in Cincinnati" as it chronicles the struggles of a fledgling liberal radio network. They battle each other, as well as the right-wingers who'd love to shut them down. Starring Al Franken, Randi Rhodes and Janeane Garofalo.

    3. Mother, May I Flirt With Power?: Shannen Doherty stars as a ruthless young woman with her own political agenda. When she lands in the White House as an intern, she'll do anything in her power to bring down a President she despises. Parental discretion advised.

    2. What I Do In My Pajamas: She's a free-spirited writer who's just started a liberal "blog". He's a computer programmer with a secret identity as a member of the "Republican Attack Squad". Online they're anonymous, and bitter, enemies, but when they meet in real life, sparks fly. Will politics get in the way of true love? Stars real-life blogger Ana Marie Cox (Wonkette) and Toby Maguire.

    1. One State, Two States, Red State, Blue State: Barbra Streisand stars as Annie Hudson, a recently divorced teacher. She leaves her job in New York City and starts a new life in the heart of Red State country: Alabama. Although she faces constant roadblocks from parents and the local government, Annie perseveres and gives her students lifelong lessons in tolerance and diversity.
