Worst Line Reading Ever - It's Really Bad and Funny as Hell
tags:Sure there are low budget B movies that "might" beat this. But this is a major studio Hollywood picture with a big actor (Ryan O'Neal), written and directed by a big name writer (Norman Mailer).

OH GOD!! OH MAN!!
That was awful!
"Norman Mailer, in the director's commentary on the DVD, said that he was counseled to cut the ending of the scene in which 'Ryan O'Neal' 's character Tim Madden reads a note from his ex-girlfriend Madeline informing him that his wife was having an affair with her husband in which he exclaims "Oh God! Oh Man! Oh God! Oh Man!" due to O'Neal's poor performance. Mailer kept it in because he thought the poor line-reading actually added something to the picture. O'Neal, who had been friendly with Mailer, turned on him as the bit revealed his short-comings as an actor and embarrassed him."
