27 Movies With Low Rotten Tomatoes Scores That Prove Critics Know Nothing

"I dare you to find someone who does not automatically start singing when they hear 'Come Little Children.' The Sanderson Sisters are icons to millennials."

—Kate

"Cruel Intentions is a brilliant movie and has a mediocre Rotten Tomatoes rating."

—joaqamole

"Venom is so underrated! It was very well done and it's one of my faves."

—indiav2

"Dustin Hoffman IS Captain Hook. And the late Robin Williams is THE PAN. Lost Boys, Tink, Neverland are all there, plus some great new additions to the lore, like the iconic Rufio."

—Kate

"Hot Rod fully deserves to be a cult classic. I will die on this hill."

—razmatini

"Sure, it’s not exactly Citizen Kane, but I cracked up through the whole movie. Kate McKinnon could read the tax code and make it hilarious. I also don’t think it’s any stupider than some male-centric movies that critics seemed to love."

—marinas6

"One of my favorite movies ever, but it has a criminally low Rotten Tomatoes score."

—Caitlin Klose

"What’s not to love? It has a great cast, hilarious script, and an awesome message. It’s the ultimate feel-good movie. When I was a speaker at graduation, I literally made a speech about this gem of a film."

—andies478465f2a

"It’s hilarious, the story is well constructed, it keeps what’s best about the TV show while mocking the things that should be mocked, and the cast is really, really ridiculously good-looking."

—murrays3

"I don't get why it has such bad reviews! I watch it year-round, and every time I watch it I think, 'Wow that's me and my husband.'"

"Brother Bear is one of the best Disney movies, but it has a low Rotten Tomatoes rating. I highly recommend it to anyone."

—BubbleGumDay

"And the soundtrack is fire."

—ljk

"It has to be one of my favorite comedies ever. This just goes to show that film critics do not know or understand audiences and we don't always need a deep, meaningful film full of nuance and metaphors. Sometimes we just want to laugh at dick jokes and stoners."

—angelav45d8cf1a3

"Drop Dead Gorgeous is my all-time favorite movie. It has Kirsten Dunst, Amy Adams, Denise Richards, Kirstie Alley, and Brittany Murphy along with many other familiar faces. It’s absolutely hysterical."

—miafayediann

"Terrible reviews but a huge cult following. I still play the soundtrack to this day."

—baobaopanda

"It is genuinely one of the only movies that makes me laugh out loud every few minutes, and Amanda Bynes is SO good in it."

—brennaboo

"It’s truly just a delight to watch. Ridiculous and campy, but delightful. Not to mention that the music in it is fantastic lol."

—kathrynmue

"SPICE WORLD OMMMGGG. A masterpiece if there ever was one. 'It must be so hard for you, Victoria. I mean, having to decide whether to wear the little Gucci dress, the little Gucci dress, or...the little Gucci dress!'"

—surfingrockets

"It has a rotten score of 54% but is beloved. Beloved I say!"

—takerbobpooh

"Despite the cheesiness, they're super fun movies with lovable characters and The Rock as a scorpion monster. What more could you want?"

—lilymorgan940

"I find it appalling that The Princess Diaries has a low rating on Rotten Tomatoes, it's a great teenage romantic comedy and Mia is an amazing lead character."

—isabelavidaldea

"Wet Hot American Summer is legitimately one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. Christopher Meloni is absolutely perfect and the rest of the cast kills it in every scene. The fact that it only got 36% on the 'Tomatometer' but a 76% positive audience score says it all."

—kemiller618

"Josie and the Pussycats is a fantastic time capsule into the early 2000s and a lot of fun."

—rachelc43

—pengispoon81

"It is a cinematic masterpiece. Rotten Tomatoes can choke on it."

—regz123455

"It has EVERYTHING you want in a film: action, adventure, romance, it's scary AND hilarious, and it's got Bruce Willis and Steve Buscemi. I am willing to die on this hill alone."

—rewildingwolfling

"Penelope starring Christina Ricci. It is such a good film about learning to love yourself. I can't believe how many people never heard of it and how low its score is."
