David and Gigolo Joe (AI: Artificial Intelligence)
Ah, Haley Joel Osment. There was a period a few years ago that we wondered if a clone army of HJOs was attempting to take over the world -- or at least the Croydon Odeon -- so ubiquitous was his soulful puppy-dog gaze and quivering lower lip. In Steven Spielberg's AI he is the absolute nadir of annoyance: he's an annoying kid and he's an annoying robot.
Astonishingly, there's worse to come, as just when we're trying to unclench our brain Jude Law turns up -- as an annoying dancing robot -- at which point our only option was to begin repeatedly punching ourselves in the face.
