Even the best actors have their melodramatic moments, but every once in awhile, a performance goes from “a little over the top” to “insane.” Maybe these performances are so over the top they circle back around to brilliant, or maybe they’re just embarrassing. Either way, these clips offer examples of overacting at its finest…

  1. Uh.. "Vampire's Kiss" was intentionally a comedy. So, Nicolas Cage's crazy acting in that film had a purpose of making people laugh. Which proved pretty successful since I laughed my ass off when I first watched that movie.

  2. overrated, but not badly acted, I mean I've seen a lot worse, I thought that waitress did a great job, I'd have lost my mind and shouted craziness like that if vehicles had somehow taken over the planet haha

  3. Just bad screenplays, hideous scripts and directing, idiot actors..,
    BUT…the Nicholas Cage scene is terrific. A also note….the ENTIRE Twighlight mess is embarrassing to try to watch. WORST SO CALLED ACTING EVER. Pattinson looks embarrassed every scene, and for good reason.

  4. Branagh and Kline both knew exactly what kind of movie they were doing. Kline played it straight and had fun, Branagh hammed it up and had fun. Which showed through in his performance; his sniping exchanges with Will Smith's character are the only memorable moments in Wild Wild West.
