10 Horrible Sequels You Never Knew Existed

7. Legally Blondes

Legally Blonde is a guilty pleasure for many men (and macho women who already aren’t inclined to like chick flicks). Even people who can’t stand Reese Witherspoon, can, at least, stand her to some degree in this film.

Reese’s portrayal of the overly blonde Elle Woods was so exaggerated that it’s just freakin’ adorable and, in the worst case scenario, borderline aggravating…but not actually aggravating.

It made such a positive impression on many of us that when its sequel, Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde, came out, we were at least curious to see what it would be like.

But it was bad. Real bad. So when the franchise spit out a spin-off called Legally Blondes, no one bothered to check it out. Or we just never heard about it.

Although Elle Woods was referenced a good amount of times (so much so that it somehow made the already weak tie-in factor even feebler), Elle never actually made an appearance, not even a brief cameo! Instead, we got Elle’s so-called cousins, Isabelle “Izzy” (Rebecca Rosso) and Annabelle “Annie” Woods (Camilla Rosso). Yuck!

8. Home Alone: The Holiday Heist

Kevin McCallister is the Home Alone kid. And Kevin should always be played by Macaulay Culkin. There’s a reason why people actually know about the first Home Alone sequel, Lost in New York, because Kevin’s same parents (Peter and Kate) lose him when Kevin takes the wrong plane, going to New York City instead of Florida for a family vacation. And, of course, Kevin runs into the same criminal duo who had tried to burgle his home in the first movie, Harry and Marv.

But then, Home Alone 3 came out with different actors and a different storyline. Then came Home Alone 4, which involved some of the same characters from the first two films (except being portrayed by different actors) and then The Holiday Heist.

Like Home Alone 3, the McCallister family in The Holiday Heist weren’t present, and the kid who ended up being left at home alone wasn’t Kevin, nor was he played by Macaulay.
