It never feels like the right time for a worst-of list, but I genuinely feel like these lists matter. This is a public service, I see them so you don’t have to! Once again, this list is comprised of films I saw before June 30th, 2025.

1) Hurry Up Tomorrow – The Weeknd’s vanity project is shockingly hollow and devoid of anything emotionally worthwhile or anything worth going to the movies for. It’s almost impressive how little there is here despite the pedigree involved. There is almost nothing to latch onto here emotionally and I cannot understate how I felt literally nothing throughout this seemingly endless, excruciatingly repetitive experience. Makes Mariah Carey’s Glitter look like Citizen Kane.

Hurry Up Tomorrow can be rented and purchased on digital platforms like Amazon, iTunes and Fandango at Home.

2) Juliet & Romeo – I think we have to dethrone Cats as the most embarrassing musical film of the last 10 years. 

Juliet & Romeo can be rented and purchased on digital platforms like Amazon, iTunes and Fandango at Home.

3) Flight Risk – I think this might be one of the single worst movies I’ve ever seen. I almost got up and left about 3-5 different times over the course of Flight Risk’s 90-ish minutes, but stuck it out for some reason. I should have realized because this is a B-movie thriller directed by Mel Gibson, but this feels so catered to his conservative fans, it feels like an insult to everyone else’s intelligence. Basically, the world we live in is punishing enough. You don’t need to make it any worse by watching Flight Risk.

Flight Risk is currently streaming on Starz. It can also be rented and purchased on digital platforms like Amazon, iTunes and Fandango at Home.

4) Kinda Pregnant – I’ve always kind of been an Amy Schumer apologist, but she’s starting to lose me. Kinda Pregnant is a ridiculous story that feels reductive and misogynist and it’s aggressively not funny. It’s hard to get into the mindset of what our protagonist wants and why her central deceit lasts as long as it does. Every person in this movie is kind of awful and unlikable and that would not be a problem if the movie were funny. And it never is.

Kinda Pregnant is now streaming on Netflix.

5) Hell of a Summer – There is a way to combine the summer camp hangout movie and the slasher flick, but Hell of a Summer never finds that balance. There are too many characters, and yet nobody to care about. The film is nowhere near as clever as it thinks it is, and even at a trim 88 minutes, it somehow feels endless. This cast is great, and there’s a lot of promise here, but I could tell early on this wasn’t going to work for me and then it just kept not working for the remainder of the running time. Think that period in the late ‘90s-early ‘00s where every slasher movie wanted to be Scream.

Hell of a Summer can be rented and purchased on digital platforms like Amazon, iTunes and Fandango at Home.

6) Love Me –  I love this concept, I love these actors, and this film decidedly did not work for me. You notice about 20 minutes or so into the movie that there are not enough ideas here to fill a feature length movie. And then the film just basically keeps repeating itself for the remaining 70 minutes. Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun are doing the best they can with a script that isn’t giving them much. This is meant to really hook you emotionally and I just did not care. About anything. 

Love Me is now streaming on Paramount+ with Showtime. It can be rented and purchased on digital platforms like Amazon, iTunes and Fandango at Home.

7) A Minecraft Movie – Feels joyless and lacking in imagination. I was hoping for some good world building here, and unfortunately most of the places we travel with these characters to kind of look like crap, and worse, they all kind of look the same. It’s all green screen backdrops and CGI, and I feel like it would have made a difference here if they had spent the money and time to build more tangible, practical sets. Another big problem is that for all this movie preaches about the power of creativity, it never feels very creative itself.

A Minecraft Movie Is currently streaming on HBO Max. It can be rented and purchased on digital platforms like Amazon, iTunes and Fandango at Home.

8) Back in Action – I try not to engage with the ‘streaming service sets money on fire’ movies, but I thought I’d give this one a look because I wanted to see Cameron Diaz in something again. It’s been a decade since she’s been in a film and while it’s nice to have her back, it feels like so much money was spent and they forgot to write a screenplay. It’s depressing to see actors like Andrew Scott, Kyle Chandler and GLENN CLOSE wasted in something like this hacky mess.

Back in Action is now streaming on Netflix.

9) Love Hurts – It became glaringly apparent through the seemingly endless 83 minutes of Jonathan Eusebio’s Love Hurts that a film cannot coast on the good graces of its stars. You also need a script.

Love Hurts is currently streaming on Peacock. It can be rented and purchased on digital platforms like Amazon, iTunes and Fandango at Home.

10) Captain America: Brave New World – This might be the worst a movie of this budget has ever looked. CGI is unsightly. Editing is atrocious. A million plot lines that ultimately mean nothing. An apparent avoidance of anything interesting that’s naturally existing in this story. This story is very political and this movie is so scared to alienate anyone in the crowd, it actively shies away from anything that could have made it interesting. There’s also a ton of shoutouts to Marvel movies I don’t remember at all, and the fact that THIS much homework is involved in enjoying a blockbuster movie is just insane.

Captain America: Brave New World is now streaming on Disney+. It can be rented and purchased on digital platforms like Amazon, iTunes and Fandango at Home.
