On the film review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes, films that every surveyed critic[1] considered bad have a 0% rating.[2][3][4] As of 2023, only 43 films with more than 20 reviews have received this rating.
The Ringer, analyzing films' Rotten Tomatoes scores compared to change in profit margin, estimated that a film with a 0% rating "would be expected to lose about $25 million relative to its budget".[5]
List
Film | Year | No. of reviews | Consensus | Reference |
---|---|---|---|---|
Staying Alive | 1983 | 28 | "This sequel to Saturday Night Fever is shockingly embarrassing and unnecessary, trading the original's dramatic depth for a series of uninspired dance sequences." | [6] |
Bolero | 1984 | 23 | "Bolero combines a ludicrous storyline and wildly mismatched cast in its desperate attempts to titillate, but only succeeds in arousing boredom." | [7] |
Jaws: The Revenge | 1987 | 41 | "Illogical, tension-free, and filled with cut-rate special effects, Jaws: The Revenge is a sorry chapter in a once-proud franchise." | [8] |
Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol | 1987 | 19 | "Utterly, completely, thoroughly and astonishingly unfunny, Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol sends a once-innocuous franchise plummeting to agonizing new depths." | [9] |
Problem Child | 1990 | 30 | "Mean-spirited and hopelessly short on comic invention, Problem Child is a particularly unpleasant comedy, one that's loaded with manic scenery chewing and juvenile pranks." | [10] |
Highlander 2: The Quickening | 1991 | 25 | "There should have been only one." | [11] |
Return to the Blue Lagoon | 1991 | 32 | "Despite its lush tropical scenery and attractive leads, Return to the Blue Lagoon is as ridiculous as its predecessor, and lacks the prurience and unintentional laughs that might make it a guilty pleasure." | [12] |
Folks! | 1992 | 20 | "Don't watch this alleged comedy looking for more than pained performances in support of ill-advised ageist jokes, because that's all Folks! has to offer." | [13] |
Look Who's Talking Now! | 1993 | 25 | "Look Who's Talking Now: Look away." | [14] |
Wagons East! | 1994 | 30 | "Wagons East! is a witless, toothless satire of Westerns that falls far below the standard set by Blazing Saddles, and is notable only for being John Candy's final screen performance." | [15] |
Simon Sez | 1999 | 20 | "Simon Sez no matter how starved you are for something to watch, there has to be a better option than this dreadfully misguided action thriller." | [16] |
3 Strikes | 2000 | 29 | "3 Strikes lacks direction and its low-brow humor isn't even that funny." | [17] |
Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever | 2002 | 119 | "A startlingly inept film, Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever offers overblown, wall-to-wall action without a hint of wit, coherence, style, or originality." | [18] |
Killing Me Softly | 2002 | 23 | "Respected director Chen Kaige's first English-language film is a spectacularly misguided erotic thriller, with ludicrous plot twists and cringe-worthy dialogue." | [19] |
Merci Docteur Rey | 2002 | 22 | "This overly wacky farce strains for sophistication but lacks polish and a coherent narrative." | [20] |
Pinocchio | 2002 | 55 | "Roberto Benigni misfires wildly with this adaptation of Pinocchio, and the result is an unfunny, poorly-made, creepy vanity project." | [21] |
Derailed | 2002 | 5 | "Derailed is one of those familiar and pulpy cautionary tales that depend largely on implausible coincidences and preposterous twists." | [22] |
National Lampoon's Gold Diggers | 2003 | 44 | "It aspires to Farrelly-level offensiveness, but the PG-13 rating and a dearth of decent gags renders Gold Diggers tame, toothless, and dull." | [23] |
Superbabies: Baby Geniuses 2 | 2004 | 46 | "A startling lack of taste pervades Superbabies, a sequel offering further proof that bad jokes still aren't funny when coming from the mouths of babes." | [24] |
Constellation | 2005 | 20 | "Though earnestly directed, Constellation lacks dramatic fireworks and eventually falls into TV-movie sentimentality." | [25] |
Redline | 2007 | 28 | "Redline has plenty of bad acting, laughable dialogue, and luxury cars." | [26] |
Scar | 2007 | 18 | "A nasty, witless and unoriginal entry into the torture porn canon with hopeless acting and a waste of modern 3D technology." | [27] |
One Missed Call | 2008 | 81 | "One of the weakest entries in the J-horror remake sweepstakes, One Missed Call is undone by bland performances and shopworn shocks." | [28] |
Homecoming | 2009 | 24 | "A lazy collection of obsession thriller clichés, Homecoming will leave viewers wishing they'd opted for a lopsided football game and some awkward dancing instead." | [29] |
Stolen | 2009 | 20 | "With plot points Stolen from countless superior films, this would-be thriller squanders a solid cast on overly serious and suspense-free storytelling." | [30] |
Transylmania | 2009 | 21 | "Never aiming higher than threadbare jokes and offensive attempts at politically incorrect humor, Transylmania is a vampire comedy that truly sucks." | [31] |
The Nutcracker in 3D | 2010 | 32 | "Misguided, misconceived, and misbegotten on every level, The Nutcracker in 3D is a stunning exercise in astonishing cinematic wrong-headedness." | [32] |
Beneath the Darkness | 2011 | 23 | — | [33] |
Dark Tide | 2012 | 20 | "Shallow and brackish, Dark Tide fails to rise." | [34] |
A Thousand Words | 2012 | 59 | "Dated jokes (A Thousand Words was shot in 2008) and removing Eddie Murphy's voice -- his greatest comedic asset -- dooms this painful mess from the start." | [35] |
Left Behind | 2014 | 70 | "Yea verily, like unto a plague of locusts, Left Behind hath begat a further scourge of devastation upon Nicolas Cage's once-proud filmography." | [36] |
The Ridiculous 6 | 2015 | 37 | "Every bit as lazily offensive as its cast and concept would suggest, The Ridiculous Six is standard couch fare for Adam Sandler fanatics and must-avoid viewing for film enthusiasts of every other persuasion." | [37] |
Cabin Fever | 2016 | 29 | "No need for a quarantine -- enthusiasm for this inert remake is not contagious." | [38] |
Dark Crimes | 2016 | 37 | "Dark Crimes is a rote, unpleasant thriller that fails to parlay its compelling true story and a committed Jim Carrey performance into even modest chills." | [39] |
The Disappointments Room | 2016 | 27 | "The Disappointments Room lives down to its title with a thrill-free thriller that presumably left its stars filled with regret - and threatens to do the same for audiences." | [40] |
Max Steel | 2016 | 22 | "Bereft of characterization or even satisfying rock 'em sock 'em, Max Steel feels like futzing with an action figure without any childhood imagination." | [41] |
Precious Cargo | 2016 | 22 | — | [42] |
Stratton | 2017 | 36 | "Stratton's action-thriller ambitions are roundly thwarted by a derivative story, misguided casting, and a low-budget feel underscored by unimpressive set pieces." | [43] |
Gotti | 2018 | 59 | "Fuhgeddaboudit." | [44] |
London Fields | 2018 | 35 | "London Fields bungles its beloved source material and an intriguingly eclectic cast, leaving audiences with a would-be neo-noir of interest only to the morbidly curious." | [45] |
The Queen's Corgi | 2019 | 20 | — | [46] |
John Henry | 2020 | 21 | — | [47] |
The Last Days of American Crime | 2020 | 43 | "This Crime is punishment." | [48] |
Hard Kill | 2020 | 21 | — | [49] |
