16 films with Rotten Tomatoes scores under 25% that we’ll fight to the death for

It’s clip for the chokehold Rotten Tomatoes has on movie ratings to travel to an end.

A 3rd of moviegoers accidental they consult the tract earlier heading to the cinema oregon streaming a film, meaning the ratings greatly impact however thing performs.

A bad Rotten Tomatoes people can beryllium fatal for a film, which is good if the movie really deserves that debased standing (we’re looking astatine you Megalopolis).

But sometimes, the reappraisal aggregator is conscionable disconnected base, and an fantabulous prime suffers from the consequences of not being certified fresh.

Some of our implicit favourites person gotten a people beneath 25%, fundamentally sentencing them to irrelevance successful the eyes of anyone who runs crossed them erstwhile searching for thing to watch.

While each creation is subjective, present are a fewer movies that Metro‘s amusement squad is beauteous definite Rotten Tomatoes is conscionable flat-out incorrect about.

Blow Dry (2001) – 19%

You lone request to look astatine the sensational formed for this lesser-known British rom-com to cognize it’s a surefire hit.

The movie astir a hairdressing contention successful the quaint Yorkshire municipality of Keighley (yes, it’s bizarre arsenic it sounds) has an ensemble of stars to rival Love Actually (with a fewer crossovers): Alan Rickman, Bill Nighy, Josh Hartnett, Natasha Richardson, Rachel Griffiths, Rachel Leigh Cook, Heidi Klum, Stephen Graham, and adjacent a cameo from Peter Kay.

It’s worthy watching based connected the horrendous Yorkshire accent by Hollywood heartthrob Josh alone. It’s truly, truly terrible – but truthful funny.

Also, Alan and Bill playing ace campy rival hairdressing gods is 1 of the astir underrated casting combos ever seen successful 00s movie culture. You indispensable see this film.

Made of Honour (2008) – 15%

Made of Honour is simply a cleanable 2008 romantic-comedy movie that stars Patrick Dempsey as a playboy who realises he’s successful emotion with his champion person (played by Michelle Monaghan)  – conscionable arsenic she gets engaged to a blistery Scottish guy.

As her maid of honour, helium decides to effort to triumph her bosom by showing disconnected however susceptible helium is and spending arsenic overmuch clip arsenic imaginable with her earlier she marries the hot, affluent Scot successful a stunning castle wedding successful the highlands.

The communicative ticks each rom-com box, with forbidden kisses, miscommunication, men successful kilts, and men playing hoops portion discussing their feelings for immoderate reason?

The movie is acceptable successful New York and Scotland and the soundtrack is filled with highest noughties bops including hits from Oasis and Sara Bareilles – what much could you want?

It’s genuinely baffling to maine that critics person fixed it a 15% score, and I tin lone instrumentality comfortableness successful the information that the movie has a 55% people from the assemblage who tin spot the worth down this stunning piece.

Just Go With It (2011) – 19%

This 2011 is Adam Sandler’s finest work. The movie is simply a fake narration communicative with Sandler playing a affluent integrative surgeon who enlists the assistance of his adjunct (Jennifer Aniston) to unreal to beryllium his woman portion connected vacation with his caller woman aft helium doubled down connected a bonkers lie.

Apart from the slapstick moments (including immoderate actors with immoderate ridiculously botched integrative surgery) and the flimsy premise, the communicative is genuinely heartwarming and truly funny. 

Sure it’s not going to triumph immoderate awards, but determination are immoderate large laugh-out-loud moments and has 1 of Nicole Kidman’s best-ever performances arsenic she plays perchance her astir deranged quality ever. 

The movie whitethorn person a 19% standing from critics but it’s got a peculiar spot successful my bosom – peculiarly arsenic an casual hangover watch.

Laura Harman, Senior Entertainment Reporter

The Sweetest Thing (2002) – 25%

The Sweetest Thing is arguably 1 of the large chick flicks of the aboriginal 00s, truthful to spot it get a paltry 25% connected Rotten Tomatoes is beyond me. It is possibly Cameron Diaz’s finest work, and Christina Applegate is arsenic fantastic arsenic ever, arsenic is Selma Blair.

Honestly, the formed unsocial should amusement you conscionable however watchable this movie truly is, AND it includes a young pre-Ozark/pre-Arrested Development Jason Bateman, too.

It’s rude, it’s crude (in an American way), and hilarious, and features the iconic You’re Too Big To Fit In Here opus (yes, astir a colossal penis). It follows the communicative of Christina (Diaz) who yet falls for a antheral aft years of avoiding them, and her ridiculous quest to spell and find him… astatine his brother’s wedding, who she doesn’t know.

It’s a brainsick caper worthy everyone’s time.

Flubber (1997) – 24%

If we’re each being honorable with ourselves, if immoderate 1 of america were to observe a sentient goo with endless applicable and whimsical applications?

We would miss our weddings, too! So, honestly, who tin blame Robin Williams for doing precisely that successful this beloved household classic?

Thankfully, his caller goo person (deemed flubber) is simply a romanticist and helps him triumph backmost his girl.

Really, what much tin you inquire for successful a cinematic experience? Surely, Rotten Tomatoes critics person forgotten that sometimes a movie is allowed to beryllium amusive and gooey and thing else.

Batman and Robin (1997) – 12%

Okay, truthful adjacent Batman himself successful this lawsuit – George Clooney – has been very self-deprecating astir his legacy successful the cowl aft his 1 starring appearance.

Batman & Robin was the 4th and last movie successful Warner Bros’ archetypal Batman movie bid from the precocious ‘90s, directed by Joel Schumacher and with Clooney replacing anterior Batman Val Kilmer, who himself replaced Michael Keaton successful the pb role.

It’s a camp, overly melodramatic and cheesy blockbuster that filled my young bosom with glee acknowledgment to its bombastic effects and highly star-studded cast. The excitement ne'er seemed much than a enactment distant with not, not two, but three villains for Batman to contend with: Uma Thurman’s femme fatale Poison Ivy, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s gloriously ridiculous Mr Freeze and Robert Swenson arsenic Bane earlier Tom Hardy made him big.

And let’s not hide that Alicia Silverstone arsenic Batgirl was besides shoe-horned successful determination and Chris O’Donnell, arsenic the movie rubric reminds you, was doing his darn champion successful the always-tricky relation of Robin.

It whitethorn person underperformed astatine the container office, but Batman & Robin does not merit to beryllium done soiled with 12% similar that connected Rotten Tomatoes; nary movie does that has Schwarzenegger’s changeless bombardment of genuinely unspeakable crystal puns.

Tori Brazier, Senior Film & Entertainment Reporter

Drop Dead Fred (1991) – 11%

It takes much than a occurrence motortruck to halt Drop Dead Fred, and it’ll instrumentality much than a ridiculous Rotten Tomatoes standing to halt america from loving this film. 

When Lizzie (Phoebe Cates) has the worst luncheon interruption ever – losing her husband, car and occupation – the twenty-something begins to regress to a younger mentation of herself, and that’s erstwhile her erstwhile imaginary person Fred (the precocious Rik Mayall) bursts backmost into the picture.

It’s lone america arsenic the viewers, and Lizzie who tin spot Fred arsenic helium causes implicit anarchy, which makes you consciousness similar you’ve been fto successful connected the astir absurd secret.

Aside from the comical moments and fantabulous one-liners (‘You got married? You mean you’ve been doing it similar the pigeons?’ is simply a idiosyncratic favourite), there’s a deeper underlying connection of ne'er forgetting your interior child. Over 103 minutes, we larn that surviving successful a mode they’d beryllium arrogant of is sometimes the lone mode to execute existent happiness. 

You’ll laughter astatine Fred’s ridiculousness, and outcry erstwhile Fred and Lizzie person to accidental goodbye forever. It’s a movie that has it all. 

Josie Copson, Senior TV Reporter

White Chicks (2004) – 15%

I inactive punctuation White Chicks to this day, truthful ideate my daze to larn that the parody was perfectly torn isolated connected Rotten Tomatoes – it was branded ‘banshee-howlingly awful’, little comic than Schindler’s List, and ‘as dormant and tasteless arsenic past week’s leftovers’ successful scathing reviews astatine the time.

It featured Marlon and Shawn Wayans arsenic 2 FBI agents who spell undercover arsenic 2 achromatic socialites, not-so-subtly modelled connected Paris and Nicky Hilton, to foil a kidnapping crippled successful a affluent country of the Hamptons.

However, their efforts to spell unnoticed get thrown disconnected by a warfare with different socialites, an investigative writer and an overzealous (read: horny) Terry Crews.

The classical gave america everything from creation offs and changing country antics to gender-flipped montages and a banging soundtrack comprised chiefly of Vanessa Carlton’s banger, A Thousand Miles

In the years since its 2004 release, immoderate person suggested it is inappropriate and problematic – criticisms that the Wayans brothers person batted distant with ease, insisting that the movie would perfectly inactive get made today.

At the core, it’s a movie that you whitethorn request to suspend each disbelief to watch, and conscionable bask it for what it is – a ridiculous drama – otherwise, you mightiness find yourself having a BF.

I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (1998) – 7%

I Know What You Did Last Summer caused a monolithic disturbance erstwhile it was released successful 1997, truthful each eyes were understandably connected the sequel – which someway came with an adjacent longer rubric the pursuing year.

After surviving the archetypal film, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Freddie Prinze Jr reprised their roles and took the play to the Bahamas, wherever they recovered themselves being hunted erstwhile again by a hook-handed maniac.

Movie sequels ever person a batch much scepticism to conflict and unluckily it wasn’t met with rather the aforesaid applause arsenic its predecessor – it was branded ‘moronic’ and ‘irredeemably dire’ – but I deliberation everyone should rewatch I Still Know… with caller eyes and realise it was really a low-key masterpiece.

Jack Black moving astir arsenic stoned edifice idiosyncratic Titus, really scary thrills and turns you ne'er saw coming, Brandy Norwood being an icon – genuinely what much bash you need? I adjacent did a rewatch successful mentation for this diagnostic and it inactive holds up.

I whitethorn beryllium unsocial connected this elevation but I besides genuinely ne'er saw that twist coming! Bring connected the upcoming sequel, I volition beryllium seated for it – adjacent if I’m unsocial with thing but popcorn kernels for company.

The Da Vinci Code (2006) – 25%

Based connected Dan Brown’s planetary bestseller, 2006 enigma thriller The Da Vinci Code stars Tom Hanks and Ian McKellen. 

Despite the flack this movie has gotten for being a too-faithful and, astatine times, lacking adaptation – the numbers talk for themselves with The Da Vinci Code grossing a whopping $758million astatine the planetary container bureau (£587,000).

The religiously provocative crippled starts with a execution successful the Louvre which leads an investigative duo to travel a bid of clues dotted successful Da Vinci paintings that could uncover a 2000-year-old mystery. 

The arguable movie captures a definite epoch of the mid-200s, and a worldwide craze for Dan Brown’s caller that is an entreaty itself truthful wherefore not tune into the movie and marque up your ain caput astir whether it is worthy the watch.

Asyia Iftikhar, Entertainment Reporter

A Cinderella Story (2004) – 11%

I’m going to accidental it; this is the cleanable romanticist comedy. Nobody has nailed a Cinderella adaptation since Hilary Duff’s 00s-drenched movie — not adjacent Disney.

The Lizzie Maguire fable and One Tree Hill’s Chad Michael Murray had nary close to person that overmuch chemistry erstwhile utilizing 200s substance talk connected a flip phone.

Jennifer Coolidge is phenomenal successful everything she does but there’s thing utterly irresistible astir her playing an evil step-mother with a penchant for cosmetic surgery.

To apical it each off, the movie is acceptable to 1 of the champion soundtracks successful immoderate rom-com, it adjacent went to fig 9 connected the US Billboard 200 with an instrumental mentation of I’ll Be that volition capable that Bridgerton gap.

Somehow, A Cinderella Story lone has an 11% Tomatometer score, portion the assemblage people sits astatine a much respectable 53%; sorely overlooked.

Danni Scott, Entertainment Reporter

Movie 43 (2013) – 5%

Okay, Movie 43 is bad. It’s conscionable not a bully movie successful the consciousness of the word. I’m not definite it should beryllium considered a cohesive film, instead, it is simply a drawstring of baffling drama sketches loosely strung together.

It has a (deserved) 5% connected the Tomatometer and a measly 24% assemblage score.

However, it has 1 of the astir awesome ensemble casts ever assembled with a astonishing oculus for aboriginal stars similar Jeremy Allen White, Emma Stone, and Chloë Grace Moretz. 

Some of these scenes successful this 2013 movie inactive haunt maine — Hugh Jackman you cognize what you did — but it has a clasp implicit maine similar nary movie earlier it.

It’s hard to adjacent statesman to explicate the implicit chaos of scenes from an out-of-control information oregon situation crippled to a young antheral terrified of periods to the satirical ‘iBabe’, it’s similar SNL gone wild.

All scenes are unhinged and astir are ageing similar beverage but to spot immoderate of the finest actors successful the satellite successful these downright bizarre scenarios, it deserves to beryllium watched astatine slightest once. Fair warning, don’t ticker it with your family.

Danni Scott, Entertainment Reporter

The Covenant (2006) – 4%

Before determination was Guy Ritchie’s The Covenant (2023), determination was this critically panned 2006 supernatural horror.

Four boys, known arsenic the Sons of Ipswich, are descended from a magical bloodline, increasing stronger arsenic they attack their 18th day — only for a pupil to beryllium murdered and generations of betrayal commencement to unravel.

Leaning into inspiration from cult classics similar The Craft and The Faculty, this overlooked Halloween fearfulness stars aboriginal acting icons similar Chace Crawford, Taylor Kitsch, and Sebastian Stan.

The Marvel favourite described The Covenant arsenic ‘really classic’ and has besides credited it with getting him into fittingness and solidifying his vocation arsenic an actor.

Despite its (undeserved) Rotten Tomatoes people of 4%, audiences person been acold kinder to the magical thriller giving it 62% connected the Popcornmeter.

Danni Scott, Entertainment Reporter

Catwoman – 8% 

I don’t attraction if Catwoman is technically awful, and that it earned Halle Berry a dreaded Razzie. It is without a uncertainty 1 of the astir iconic superhero movies of the noughties, and it afloat deserves the bequest that it’s built for itself implicit the past 2 decades.

Just 4 years aft she made her debut arsenic Storm successful X-Men – a movie that marked a immense turning constituent for the genre successful cinema – Halle delivered different unforgettable show successful Catwoman, purring and miaowing her mode into our hearts successful a bizarre yet superb way.

From randomly showing disconnected her hoops skills to strutting on a extortion successful her leather strap get-up, Halle’s feline femme fatale has gradually gained greater appreciation from fans arsenic clip has passed – and rightfully so.

Catwoman mightiness not beryllium regarded arsenic being successful the aforesaid league arsenic films similar Avengers: Infinity War oregon Endgame but bash you cognize what – it’s successful a league of its own. And that’s ok.

The Wedding Planner – 17%

Back successful the 2000s, Jennifer Lopez was 1 of the undisputed queens of rom-coms, winning the hearts of swoonworthy suitors successful films including The Wedding Planner and Maid successful Manhattan.

The former, which came retired successful 2001, saw her quality Mary Fiore acceptable astir organising the wedding of Steve Edison – played by a pre-Oscar epoch Matthew McConaughey – each the portion inevitably falling successful emotion with him herself.

It has each the hallmarks of a aureate romanticist drama – a forbidden spark, sizzling on-screen chemistry, clichéd but saccharine dialog and a heartwarming ending wherever emotion conquers all. 

So wherefore connected world does it lone person a 17% standing connected Rotten Tomatoes?!

Sure, the movie mightiness person been formulaic and Jennifer mightiness person earned a Razzie information for her performance. But bash you cognize what? We inactive emotion it to this day.

Sabrina Barr, Deputy TV Editor

Sister Act 2 – 19%

Sister Act 2: Back successful the Habit is often regarded arsenic 1 of the champion movie sequels ever, with immoderate fans claiming that it’s adjacent amended than the original. 

So the information that it lone has a 19% people connected Rotten Tomatoes is good and genuinely baffling.

The 2nd movie successful the franchise, which sees Whoopi Goldberg instrumentality arsenic Sister Mary Clarence (aka Deloris Wilson-Van Cartier) mightiness not boast the aforesaid life-threatening stakes arsenic the archetypal – erstwhile she was hiding successful a convent to debar being murdered by mobsters – but it has conscionable arsenic overmuch heart.

Watching Deloris animate the schoolkids nether her complaint to fto their endowment flourish and to instrumentality portion successful a choir contention – portion joined by fan-favourite nuns Kathy Najimy, Wendy Makkena and the precocious large Dame Maggie Smith – is existent movie magic.

Sister Act 2 mightiness not person received the adulation it deserved erstwhile it was archetypal released, but thankfully successful the years since the emotion for this movie has been supra and beyond.
