Jim Carrey, Harrison Ford, Nicole Kidman and others struggle to get back on top
10 movie stars who need a hit
Last month, we presented 22 Hollywood players whose once-great careers need saving. While it may be be too late for some of them, other stars are on the bubble and can turn things around before they end up on future revisions of that list. With that in mind, we now bring you a lineup of 10 stars who desperately need to topline a hit film in order to get their careers back on track.

Christ, does this site even bother to check facts? Crystal Skull was anything but reviled by critics; it's still in the positive at Rotten Tomatoes. It's the fanboys who whined to no end.

Crystal Skull was well received by critics and scored a huge box office number. Coming either right behind or just ahead of Iron Man. Fright Night was also well received.

Anna Farris, never considered her anything more than a teen movie,supporting player, Jim Carrey was great in "I Love You Phillip Morris" but due to the subject matter the film didn't get any theater play here in the states, probably his best performance in years. J Lo? "Maid in Manhattan" was the last decent picture she was in. Harrison Ford, he needs to put his action movie career to rest (as does Bruce Willis) Take a page from Jeff Bridges at some point you have to be able to be a character actor, not sure if either Ford or Willis can do that. All in all its not the stars that are so bad but the crap scripts and movies they get stuck with.
