|This Scientologist propaganda piece failed at the box-office and is largely considered to be one of the worst movies ever made. It "won" in nine categories at the Golden Raspberry Awards (aka, the Razzie Awards), making it the most awarded film at the Razzies until ''Jack and Jill'' took that spot. Furthermore, it won separate awards for "Worst Drama of our first 25 Years" during the 2005 awards, as well as "Worst Picture of the Decade" in 2010. Lastly, the film plays into the liberal notion of personal characteristics mattering more than true merits since John Travolta was cast as the main character because of his affiliation with the "church" of Scientology. | |This Scientologist propaganda piece failed at the box-office and is largely considered to be one of the worst movies ever made.
