What 2000's movies were acceptable on release, but are now painfully bad to watch?

Discussion

We were looking for something to watch together the other night, and I saw "Bring It On" on Netflix.

'Oh, I remember this. It's a slightly cheesy cheerleading movie, but it's pretty entertaining.'

Wow - 16 years changes a lot. What were once gently used jokes and cliches which still could be wrung for some humor are now so hideously beaten that every single moment of that movie is cringe inducing. Additionally, social change has made some parts of the movie comical for the wrong reasons (one of the character's mock surprise at finding out a guy is gay).

What was a goofy good time upon release is now an unwatchable train wreck of a bad movie, on par with awkward Youtube videos in some parts.

What are some other 2000's retro-disasters?
