- DirectorJerry SeinfeldStarsIsaac BaeJerry SeinfeldChris RickettIn 1963 Michigan, business rivals Kellogg's and Post compete to create a cake that could change breakfast forever.This year just keeps getting worst. I can’t be the only one who notices that some of these movies are flat out terrible. This one takes the fucking pop tart. I can’t even imagine what world or universe I myself will find any of this funny. Melissa McCarthy who is fine here kinda comes out the only one who can possibly save this movie. But all the performances and cameos and I mean all of them are not just bad here it is like they have never told a funny joke or deliver anything worth watching ever in their life. My God I know some might say it is not that bad or it is not worth a second of your time like a lot of the rest of Netflix’s never ending mediocre streak. But this isn’t some new director with one big star to attach the film to make it seem worth a damn. Damsel, Lift, Code 8 part 2, and even Rebel Moon are all among the bad that Netflix has to offer when it comes to trying to have a legitimate leg hold on some credibility. Unfrosted is just worst and downright bad compared to the rest of those movies. This is just terrible.
- DirectorJade Halley BartlettStarsMartin FreemanJenna OrtegaBashir SalahuddinA creative writing assignment yields complex results between a teacher and his talented student.Yeah this might be, well it definitely is amongst the top 3 worst films of the year but this could stay right there at number 1. Watch another terrible, boring, sad excuse to tell a real intriguing story into a mundane lackluster movie about seduction. Even graveyards grew flowers. I mean that is the surface right there of the type of dialogue so get ready for the whole movie for people to talk like that. It may be misguided but for me that is something I can give two shit less about stuff about that. I’m more concerned about with the lack of what they are saying. Yeah so far the worst film of the year. It also feels so contrived and overly dramatic with some of the performances here.
- DirectorKobi LibiiStarsJustice SmithZachary BartonAnthony CoonsA young man, Aren, is recruited into a secret society of magical Black people who dedicate their lives to a cause of utmost importance: making white people's lives easier.How? How in the hell do we have multiple bad movies after movies here in this bottom 5. I mean sure worst of list have bad movies sure but nothing like this year. These top three are truly god awful. The music first of all with all of it trying to be whimsical and upbeat is a tiresome trope that drove me up the wall. Once the ball does start to get rolling then sure it does have its bright moments with some comedy lines delivering. It is somewhat engaging and funny. But beyond that initial start it dives headfirst into one of the worst examples of satire. They do take the initial premise serious enough because it is a problem but it is wrapped around the idea of it being package as a Harry Potter knock off. But this has none of the charm, none of the cool magic shit, and the characters are not as engaging enough for me to care enough to watch the next scene. Another brutal 1/10 this year.
- DirectorEthan CoenStarsMargaret QualleyGeraldine ViswanathanBeanie FeldsteinJamie regrets her breakup with her girlfriend, while Marian needs to relax. In search of a fresh start, they embark on an unexpected road trip to Tallahassee. Things quickly go awry when they cross paths with a group of inept criminals.The only good thing to me was that it was short. But not short enough. How can I find a movie like this amongst the worst of the worst. Well here it is, Maid is terrible, Blockers is cool here but does not offer any resemblance of likability. The other actors here are not enough to rave about so instead they are just there. What a waste of time and effort to wait for this stupid (not good stupid) boring not funny film. The fact I found no enjoyment or any type of entertainment comes with all the surprise because I love the Coens but apparently the two of them can’t work by themselves. Because I don’t even like the Tragedy of McBeth. So this one isn’t any better.
- DirectorBo MirhosseniStarsJackie CruzPaul WesleyRhonda Johnson DentsA family on the run from a corrupt state takes refuge in a safe house with an evil past.How does one make a film where it is exactly what I wanted from Alex Garland in Civil War. To deliver it in a better package along with putting it in a horror film but sadly make it worst. That is an uphill that surely was climbed and conquered. Because what the hell was this. With only one good performance here nothing else is here to make this film any more watchable than any other isolated horror films that have come out recently. All around useless. The performances, useless. The direction, once you find it you tell me. The writing, Alex Garland may be like yeah a wrote a half baked idea and turned it into a movie but at least it wasn’t boring and downright a dredd to get through. Damn this year sucks. The reason why I keep mentioning Alex Garland’s Civil War is because this is a movie well once the opening crawl is revealed you get exactly what I’m talking about.
- DirectorS.J. ClarksonStarsDakota JohnsonSydney SweeneyIsabela MercedCassandra Webb is a New York metropolis paramedic who begins to demonstrate signs of clairvoyance. Forced to challenge revelations about her past, she needs to safeguard three young women from a deadly adversary who wants them destroyed.I was going to be like well there is this scene that I like and unintentionally funny moments here and there but f this. Look man as much as I want to be like this a funny bad movie to make fun of, seriously I think we are somewhat sending Hollywood the wrong message about we can laugh at a movie so bad that it is actually good. Because first and foremost this is not a good movie. (Shocker) but I have seen some people want to defend and say but it is hilariously bad or it is so bad that it is good. That is very subjective mindset when it comes to any movie but I don’t want Hollywood or anybody really to take away the idea of well we can hopefully have a corner on that market and make this with little effort as possible. That to me is more cyclical than actual making a Madame Web movie. Sure it makes no sense to make a Madame Web movie. But who is to say that Dakota Johnson and cast can’t actively sell a movie like this. You see I think you can write a movie centered around a woman who can see the future and have interlocking cast of colorful characters that are well written and well executed. This is just not that and it is a shame because I wouldn’t mind seeing these four spider woman go on adventures. I mean it would open up this world. At least to some degree this is connected to Spider-Man himself. Moribus is a vampire, who cares, Venom kinda has some connection to spiders, Kraven is just a hunter so again who cares, but these characters have some resemblance to actual being connected to Spider man and it is a shame that it is put to waste with something like this.
- DirectorRenny HarlinStarsMadelaine PetschRyan BownMatus LajcakAfter their car breaks down in an eerie small town, a young couple is forced to spend the night in a remote cabin. Panic ensues as they are terrorized by three masked strangers who strike with no mercy and seemingly no motive.
- DirectorSamantha JayneArturo Perez Jr.StarsAngourie RiceReneé RappAuli'i CravalhoCady Heron is a hit with the Plastics, an A-list girl clique at her new school. But everything changes when she makes the mistake of falling for Aaron Samuels, the ex-boyfriend of alpha Plastic Regina George.I’m going out on a limb that maybe it has finally come to end to claim that Hollywood is running out of ideas. Shocker, I know right. Bland, unimaginable, unfunny, and completely misses the mark of what the original has paved the way for generations to come. I am a die hard Mean Girls fan and I can see why some of the original cast didn’t want to come back because this is full on an embarrassment to a blank slate of pure of what where they thinking? But yeah let’s dig up Mean Girls because it had some type of rebirth with a stage play but still it is a true shame that nothing in here feels inspired. It is just so pointless. Plus I swear to God if they start singing again Imma pull a Doc Rivers and imma kill somebody. In fact this whole movie is the embodiment of that video. And if I see anyone say this is better than the original I’m pull that video up. Plus Moana is a terrible actor.
- DirectorF. Gary GrayStarsKevin HartGugu Mbatha-RawSam WorthingtonFollows a master thief and his Interpol Agent ex-girlfriend who team up to steal $500 million in gold bullion being transported on an A380 passenger flight.It is just, well no need to dwell on something this poorly made that is a prime example of what made by committee looks like. It couldn’t be more on paper of just how bad this is. Like sure another heist movie, sure another team that has forgettable characters, more and more of the same. Just even more bad.
- DirectorTyler PerryStarsKelly RowlandTrevante RhodesNick SagarA criminal defense attorney, unhappy in her marriage, finds herself seduced by her mysterious new client, an artist accused of murdering his girlfriend.
- DirectorZack SnyderStarsSofia BoutellaDjimon HounsouEd SkreinKora and surviving warriors prepare to defend Veldt, their new home, alongside its people against the Realm. The warriors face their pasts, revealing their motivations before the Realm's forces arrive to crush the growing rebellion.Ajax rampage down in the bunker where he just breaks some random woman’s neck was the funniest shit I have ever seen. He is so game here and I love it. The movie is bad, but man I had some beers in me, I was up in the clouds and was making fun of it the whole time. Sofia is fine but Bea Doona who I have always love kinda steals the show. The movie is straight up trash in the worst way possible but I mean Snyder is still the greatest living director we have working today. Seriously I mean that he is just that damn awesome that even him turning in two very dumb and stupid movies can still be raised above the ranks of other directors today. Hot take but he is pushing the boundaries more than someone like Scorsese or Spielberg or even Tarantino. He is a God amongst men.
- DirectorMark WatersStarsBrooke ShieldsMiranda CosgroveBenjamin BrattLana's daughter Emma returns from London and announces that she's getting married next month. Things become more complicated when Lana learns that the man who stole Emma's heart is the son of the man who broke hers years ago.
- DirectorHannah MarksStarsIsabela MercedCreeJudy ReyesA teenager with OCD tries to solve a mystery surrounding a fugitive billionaire.It is just boring.
- DirectorMichael ShowalterStarsAnne HathawayNicholas GalitzineElla RubinSolène, a 40-year-old single mom, begins an unexpected romance with 24-year-old Hayes Campbell, the lead singer of August Moon, the hottest boy band on the planet.I know some might not put this in their worst of the year. And listen I get it, but damn what an unfunny, unromantic, and unbelievable movie that ends exactly how all of these modern romantic comedies have been ending. I have seen this ending and I have seen this movie done before. I don’t know, I like the director and I even like the cast but this idea and execution is just not for me. For an almost 2 hour runtime I was waiting for this to be over. Just like a lot of movies on this list I just couldn’t wait for almost all of these movies to be over and this is amongst some of the worst films released this year with nothing to engage the audience in watching it to the very end. I mean which is fine for some that may like these two and don’t mind predictable movies, not just endings but predictable moment after moment where you can literally call when this is going to happen and this. The movie to me is just not worth your time. Whereas Everybody but You, did have at least jokes that were funny, two lead performances that work together, and yes a very predictable third act it did bring back all the great moments from all the other great romantic comedies that actually work. This just doesn’t work for me.
- DirectorJake JohnsonStarsJake JohnsonAndy SambergBjorn JohnsonGiven the opportunity to participate in a life or death reality game show, one man discovers there's a lot to live for.It’s not that bad so maybe it won’t stay in my bottom but what the hell is this. Jake Johnson could be a good director and I like him a lot as an actor but this movie just sucks. Like everything about just misses the mark. The acting is fine, the jokes are not even remotely funny, and the little suspense if I think the movie is going for is no way believable but also never comes across as even trying. So I’m like why even bother to have this murder plot. And when Becca from Pitch Perfect shows up it does drive some life into this movie but it still falls flat.
- DirectorJeffrey DarlingStarsJacob ElordiPatrick J. AdamsZachary QuintoA journey of curious tensions and bonds between two and at times three interesting characters all on their own path.It’s not that bad. Certainly they are worst movies on the list but this damn lame ass movie went on for far too long. And I like the essential set up of a road trip movie but with a serial killer in the 1960’s. Sure that works but holy crap this movie just sucks and not even interesting. It is bottom line lame. I mean I wish more was happening and I wasn’t surprised that this was put on the shelf until now. This movie was just not the genre blend that it think it is.
- DirectorOliver KienleStarsEmilio SakrayaDennis MojenMarie MouroumDesperate not to lose custody, a mixed martial arts fighter makes dangerous enemies when he ditches a matchup to race to his daughter's birthday party.Probably the worst action film this year. And I love a lot of the Netflix action selection they have. Even the Lost Bullet franchise is better than this. The gimmick or time aspect adds really nothing. Because sure it makes somewhat sense but the actual goal of making us feel tense or thrilled is just not there.
- DirectorBryce McGuireStarsWyatt RussellKerry CondonAmélie HoeferleA family moves into a new home, unaware that a dark secret from the house's past will unleash a malevolent force in the backyard pool.What a 3? Not a 2 or even a 1. Yes the movie is not a flat out disaster but it is really bad. Still with two solid lead performances who not deliver good performances but along with stories and motivations that somewhat work for a film like this. Not saying it is groundbreaking but for the story it is trying to tell it works well. The rest of the movie along with the rest of the characters are just a far cry to being a movie that is actually good. Which this is barely tolerable. I mean the further it goes along the more ridiculous and less fun I was having. But can I say the same for the other films I rank lower. I mean some of those movies start off bad and never recover this at least showed somewhat of a promise. Also I like that it isn’t just a haunted pool movie and you’ll get it if you manage to make it to the end but I think at least they did manage to do something with a premise like this.
- DirectorJeff ChanStarsRobbie AmellStephen AmellAlex Mallari Jr.Follows a girl fighting to get justice for her slain brother by corrupt police officers. She enlists the help of an ex-con and his former partner, they face a highly regarded and well protected police sergeant who doesn't want to be.Jesus Christ I’ll save all you the time, excon needs to take care of a little girl. Let me see, isn’t there a sci-fi movie that came out just last year that did this same plot. Or every movie that has this same plot. It ends all the same and everyone knows how all this plays out. But and this is a big but there are some really cool and I mean cool concepts here. I love the blend between street crime with the blend of superpowers. Holy shit that is why I really like that first movie. The first Code 8 to me is a solid 8/10 movie that stands on its premise and has some awesome action scenes. But this what even is this. No action scenes even match what the first one does and the street level threat that was so cool in the first one is just in the background here to move in the basic gruffed older guy who has to take care of small child. Like damn cmon really. I really hate this trend. It is like that is the only reason we can have any sympathy or empathy towards our main character. Some of the politics here work, Green Arrow wanting people with powers to protect their own against those who oppress them but taking advantage of the system that the law created. That is a cool and interesting concept. The movie does have that but wow does this go into certain directions that are just not needed. When Dune part 2 shows you have to do a part 2 this should be an example of how not to do a part 2.
- DirectorCarlson YoungStarsCamila MendesArchie RenauxMarisa TomeiWhen Ana is upgraded to first class on a work trip, she meets handsome Will, who mistakes Ana for her boss, Claire. A white lie then sets off a glamorous chain of events, romance and opportunity, until her fib threatens to surface.Straight in after seeing some of what from the beginning I was thinking the whole time this will make my worst list. I like homeboy from Shadow and Bone but a full on obnoxious tale that I have seen over and over again. Full cliches and nothing to offer other than dialogue that is screaming at you. Like holy crap I had to turn down the volume by how loud each actor is screaming their lines like shut up. I feel like Arnold in Kindergarten Cop where he just screams at those kids. Except these aren’t kids these are grown ass adults and what a rip off of so many stuff. I toughed it out because well I’m snowed in but not really I got some work done. Not funny or educational, inspiring, or hell entertaining. This might not be the worst film but I had no intention of finding anything good about this movie.
- DirectorJeff WadlowStarsDeWanda WiseTaegen BurnsPyper BraunA woman returns to her childhood home to discover that the imaginary friend she left behind is very real and unhappy that she abandoned him.
- DirectorThomas VincentStarsKaley CuocoDavid OyelowoBill NighyEmma has a wonderful husband and two kids in the suburbs of New Jersey. She also has a secret life as an assassin for hire, a secret that her husband Dave discovers when the couple decide to spice up their marriage with a little role play.It’s not god awful but I’m glad to hear seeing Amazon Prime get in there with some truly trash high profile movies. Well with notable actors in the starring position that they find themselves in. Which I’m glad to be seeing someone like MLK Jr at least get more roles but his bumbling doofus nice guy charm has been done to death and he has done this role before. As for Harley Quinn I mean it is always nice to see Penny in full force. And she is the lead and the star of the movie along with a producing credit so I can’t say this is her fault completely. But part True Lies and all the assassin and killer movies that try so hard to be different with sparks of comedy but instead it just falls flat. Which I’m fine with mediocre, actually no I do want something mind blowing screw it. I’ll say yes I want high art there I said it. I hate when people use that as a way to make some sound snobby but seriously work on the script and direction to make this better. The action is terrible the writing is not funny and it dives into the same I’m not going to betray my wife bull crap no matter how much the movie spend so much time with trying to make us believe that he will. But the two leads here are fine.
- DirectorDaniel KaluuyaKibwe TavaresStarsKanoJedaiah BannermanHope Ikpoku JnrIn a dystopian future London where all social housing has been eliminated, Izi and Benji fight to navigate the world as residents of The Kitchen, a community that refuses to abandon their home.Gosh I wished I like this more. But I fell asleep. Now yes I did go back and rewatch this but man the damage was done. It offered nothing of entertainment value of watching these characters grow or anything like that. I saw this two days ago and nothing remained in my mind. Not one scene not one line nothing. Just plain and simple a boring and waste of time.
- DirectorJuan Carlos FresnadilloStarsMillie Bobby BrownRay WinstoneAngela BassettA dutiful damsel agrees to marry a handsome prince, only to find the royal family has recruited her as a sacrifice to repay an ancient debt.Yeah it is bad. Holy crap this is was something I was routing for. I like most of it at the beginning. The setup at least was somewhat interesting and the story behind it does have some merit to be developed into an actual action fantasy adventure. But none of those come through in this story. It is not even that grand in scope for it to be this epic or trying to be. It is just bad on all accounts.
- DirectorJeymes SamuelStarsLaKeith StanfieldOmar SyAnna DiopStruggling to find a better life, Clarence is captivated by the power of the rising Messiah and soon risks everything to carve a path to a divine existence.A strong cast does not save this movie. Jeymes Samuel can certainly bring together a cast full of talented actors and can even tell an interesting story. Just like he did with his directorial debut, but this is a major misstep. It is just long and boring. It just kept going and going and sadly none for the actors really save this movie. With all the celebrity cameos and jokes all fall flat. Some of it did get a chuckle but this movie didn’t move the needle in its 2 hour runtime. That is a big ask. Like are you kidding me who green light this and whoever was in charge didn’t tell Jeymes Samuel to take this cast or even story and headed into a different direction. This is just bland.
4/10
