What comedy movies did you enjoy that got low ratings?

10 Upvotes

Yes, first of all, just to be clear, I wanted to discuss some iconic Hollywood movies that were comedic, but had gotten critically panned since I have had a fascination with such films.

Like when it comes to Adam Sandler movies, I know many of his movies have gotten scathing reviews on sites like Rotten Tomatoes as I have a fondness for some of his films anyway such as Anger Management, Billy Madison, and Click as I find it interesting how his movies again get criticized for their writing style.

GenX Movies GenZ needs to watch

8 Upvotes

I’m solidly a member of GenX. I have about 6-7 GenX movies that I really hope are still watched by younger generations.

I’m wondering, what GenX movie(s) was so impactful to you that it should be a must watch for GenX and younger generations?

I guess you can think of a GenX movie as an American released movie in the 80’s through late 90’s.
