8 — Curly Sue (1991)

Credit: Warner Bros.

Hughes wrote, co-wrote, and produced many films after Curly Sue, but it proved to be the last film he ever directed. That’s unfortunate, because it also happens to be the worst John Hughes film.

Some directors have a “worst” film that is still decent — Paul Thomas Anderson, for example. But Curly Sue is not such a film. It’s basically “What if Paper Moon was bad?” Jim Belushi plays a con man who watches over a seven-year-old orphan, the titular Curly Sue.

The movie is inert, and then it ends with a silly happily-ever-after ending. Steve Carell got to make his film debut, though.
