these are the movies that likely made
film critics reconsider their career
choices welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top 10 movies you’re glad you missed
this summer
before we begin we publish new content
every day so be sure to subscribe to our
channel and ring the bell
to get notified about our latest videos
for this list we’re taking a look at
movies released in summer 2018 that went
generally unseen by audiences and for
good reason number 10 the darkest minds
tell us if this sounds familiar
a bunch of teenagers with special
abilities go on the run from the big bad
government against a post-apocalyptic
setting for their safety and yours
please turn over your children oh and as
if that wasn’t blatant enough the star
of the movie is Amandla Stenberg who
also played Rou in The Hunger Games this
adaptation of Alexandra Bracken’s hit
novel doesn’t even try to hide the fact
that it’s cashing in on the young adult
however the studio apparently didn’t get
the memo that this fad pretty much died
out after the release of Mockingjay part
2 even with a talented filmmaker like
Jennifer yuh Nelson the film couldn’t
bring anything new to this drawn-out
genre generating little interest from
audiences sorry you’re the minor either
I can’t read my barely understand my
Bubbe’s
number 9 life of the party speaking of
tired premises life of the party stars
Melissa McCarthy as a recently divorced
woman who decides to finally get her
college degree but you’re going to
school here now
yeah she’s thinking about it it’s not
for sure yet it’s pretty for sure we’ve
seen this idea done before in numerous
other movies and sitcoms granted it’s
not impossible to give a familiar set up
a fresh coat of paint but this comedy
doesn’t even bring a paintbrush
[Music]
McCarthy and real-life husband Ben
Falcone have natural chemistry whenever
on-screen together but the results are
often underwhelming when Falcone directs
his wife and this film is no exception
I’m sorry you son-of-a-bitch
so you’re the son of a bitch you’re the
son of a bitch wellies mccarthy is
poised to make a comeback in the
acclaimed can you ever forgive me which
shows a pretty ironic title the more we
think about it
number 8 action point on the one hand
it’s not like action Point was destined
to be a cinematic masterpiece it is a
gross out Johnny Knoxville comedy after
all you know it’s not my listening
season you should have told me louder on
the other hand the Jackass movies were
funnier and more creative than they had
any right to be it was that big that’s
my damn legacy the same can be said
about bad grandpa which scored an Oscar
nomination for its makeup effects so as
strange as it may sound we actually have
come to expect a certain level of
quality from Knoxville the fact that
this film was inspired by a real New
Jersey amusement park only added to the
comedic possibilities alas the stunts
aren’t nearly inventive cringe-worthy or
funny enough to leave a lasting
impression fix that Rodney number 7
father of the year father of the year is
a comedy starring David Spade produced
by Happy Madison productions and
oh my god these three players previously
took part in the ridiculous six the
do-over and Sandy Wexler all of which
were maligned by critics okay I can do
this
no one issue just chat with a polar bear
even on that basis father of the Year
managed to bring the bar down to a new
low
spade plays a drunken manchild who wants
to do right by his son but instead ruins
both of their lives at every turn he
hits rock bottom upon challenging a
fellow father played by Nat Faxon to a
fight and lazy slapstick ensues we would
say more but a film this effortless does
number six overboard we can’t help but
feel depressed almost every time on
Affairs stars in a new movie it’s not to
say that Ferris isn’t funny on the
contrary she’s one of the most
underrated comedic actresses in the
business today be embarrassed in the car
okay I’ve got 8 minutes to get these
pizzas across town course you wouldn’t
know this based on comedies like
overboard though in this remake of the
1987 film that start Kurt Russell and
Goldie Hawn Ferris plays a woman who
takes advantage of a wealthy playboy
with amnesia after he mistreats her give
me my wife for better or worse baby well
these two horrible people fall in love
despite spending most of the movie at
each other’s throats if you know the
answer there’s really no point in
watching this unnecessary and mostly
humorous shipwreck I’ve had it number 5
Gotti talk about a major disappointment
this mobster drama follows the rise and
fall of John Gotti one of the most
notorious crime bosses in American
history it feels right it feels like
it’s what he would have wanted it feels
wherever is the project spent years in
development hell with acting
heavyweights like Al Pacino Joe Pesci
and Chaz Palme and Terry all attached at
one point John Travolta eventually
landed the role of Goddy which seemed
like an inspired casting choice at first
especially after seeing its physical
transformation star Victoria okay even
with all of that buildup and potential
however the final results were not only
bad but zero percent on Rotten Tomatoes
bad poorly written and riddled with
cliches the film fails to say anything
interesting about Gotti’s complex nature
completely missing the point
Ronna the five lifetime bids that’s okay
but the $50 surcharge you really know
how to stick it to a guy number four
Slenderman Slenderman quickly evolved
from an internet meme into a modern-day
boogeyman so it makes sense that
Hollywood would want to produce a major
motion picture about this urban legend
here’s
last site she visited Slenderman Screen
Gems didn’t exactly strike while the
iron was hot however as Slenderman has
been around for almost a decade now in
that timeframe
Slenderman has already popped up in
the creepypasta has thus become
overexposed to the point that he’s
honestly not very scary anymore
as a result this supernatural horror
film just comes off a scale and
redundant especially in a year that also
number three billionaire boys club it’s
painfully obvious why nobody went to see
this inevitable financial bomb despite
featuring some prominent young actors
like Ansel Elgort and Taran Edgerton
this biographical crime drama had the
misfortune of casting Kevin Spacey in a
supporting role when the sexual
misconduct accusations against Spacey
erupted in 2017 billionaire boys club
had already wrapped up filming oh
rather than enlisting Christopher
Plummer to reshoot Spacey scenes the
studio decided to quietly release the
movie on demand followed by a limited
theatrical run on its opening weekend
the film only grossed 618 dollars
domestically the worst of Spacey’s
career you see I knew at the moment I
saw a Joe you’re a hustler just like
even if you ignore all the controversy
this is still a poor man’s Wall Street
that’s instantly forgettable Joe I’m
from Wall Street do you think people
really get rich playing by the rules
number two death of a nation can we save
America a second time following up the
Razzie winning Hillary’s America Dinesh
D’Souza is back to force more far-right
propaganda down our throats with another
documentary that actually makes Fox News
assassinated him now their target is
proper
once again the filmmakers take their
political beliefs to jaw-dropping
extremes comparing Donald Trump to
Abraham Lincoln and Democrats to the
Nazi Party this is done by the
do-gooders the Liberals the people who
wanted to improve society what makes
this so ironic is that the film plays
out like a modern successor to triumph
of the will whether you’re a liberal or
a conservative the arguments presented
in death of a nation lack anything
resembling common sense or historical
accuracy the end result is a special
kind of awful receiving a Metacritic
rating of one and a rotten tomato score
of zero number one show dogs between
Turner and hooch canine and top dog
there are one too many movies out there
about cops who team up with pooches
sighs how hard can dog shows deep I’ll
just google it show dogs didn’t exactly
break the mold with its lame jokes empty
calorie action and a premise so
airheaded that you swear the screenplay
it only managed to sink lower with an
alleged child grooming plot point that
was deemed so offensive that the studio
recut the film on top of that will
arnett acts opposite a bunch of talking
dogs and the filmmakers didn’t even work
in a mr. peanut butter joke this whole
movie could have maybe been redeemed if
it turned out to be a crossover episode
