Shining Through (1992, R)

Shining Through was named Worst Picture of 1992.  Melanie Griffith was named Worst Actress of 1992.  David Seltzer was named Worst Director of 1992.  This was due to the Razzie Awards.  There were also Razzie nominations for Michael Douglas (Worst Supporting Actor), as well as for Worst Screenplay.

Shining Through isn't a horrible movie (in fact, it's not even a bad one), but it's just simply not a good one either.  I agree with the Razzies on Worst Actress and Worst Screenplay, and possibly Worst Director, but I don't know if it should have been Worst Picture, honestly.

This movie so wants to be a great WWII spy thriller.  Instead, it becomes a lowly film that I could pass up anyday.
