The Best and Worst Brendan Fraser Movies

This romantic dramedy draws loose inspiration from a 1948 novel, which had been previously adapted both in Hollywood and elsewhere. In the wake of a train crash, a young woman (Ricki Lake) takes on the mistaken identity of a wealthy counterpart. Fraser plays the love interest.

This ambitious crime drama takes cues from an ancient Chinese proverb and tells four different interconnected stories. Fraser’s character embodies the concept of pleasure (or lack thereof) and has the unique ability to see people’s futures. “Pretentious at best, risible for the rest of the time,” wrote critic Catherine Shoard for the Daily Telegraph (UK).

This Indian crime drama centers on a powerful mob family and the undercover cop (Fraser) tasked with bringing it down. It takes a few pages from the “King Lear” playbook, as three brothers quarrel over the future of their empire.

In this fantasy adventure, a man (Fraser) and his daughter have the unique ability to bring storybook characters into the real world. When they read from a book called “Inkheart,” it unleashes an evil villain named Capricorn (Andy Serkis). Reviews were mixed.

The first film produced by CBS Studios tells the story of a married couple (Fraser and Keri Russell), who may have found the cure to their childrens’ fatal disease. With help from a researcher (Harrison Ford), they take on the medical establishment in a race against the clock.
