00:00this is just not working i think we're done welcome to watch mojo and today we're counting
00:06down our picks for those movies netflix produced that have ruined many a night of netflix and chill
00:12at least the first part of the night don't put words in my mouth it's actually really good
00:17number 10 the kissing booth trilogy we get that dating your best friend's older brother could be
00:22a little awkward this isn't so bad not so bad at all but for l it's more than just awkward it's
00:30filled with enough drama and ups and downs to fill not one but three teen rom-coms the trilogy of
00:37kissing booth films premiered on netflix between 2018 and 2021 while the audiences kept clicking
00:43play the critics kept saying nay to this cliched seen it all before and seen it better trio i
00:49always just figured we'd be number one forever however even though netflix has reported strong
00:54viewership numbers for the three films only the first one gotten over 50 rotten tomatoes
01:00audience score and the third film is at 19 what what number nine game over man fans of workaholics
01:07must have been pretty psyched in 2018 to see the film game over man show up in their netflix feed
01:13what the hell are you doing man i'm a hustler i'm a hustler i'm basically the rick ross of our
01:18friendship tripod from director kyle newachek to the film's three stars anders home adam divine and
01:24blake anderson all four guys had previously created and starred in the previously mentioned
01:29sitcom the sitcom which it should be noted saw plenty of good reviews yeah i got nothing man
01:36as opposed to the action comedy game over man which one critic called quote an almost laugh
01:42free comedy the film is filled with standard and predictable genre tropes but doesn't do any of
01:47them particularly well this one is smart and funny guys in a not so smart and not so funny movie
01:53is that what you wanted to hear jesus christ number eight how it ends when it comes to this
01:58film most folks were less concerned about how it ended i am aware of that little detail
02:04than when it would end because what netflix gave us with this 2018 action thriller is 114 minutes
02:10of bad writing overacting and disappointment that the filmmakers couldn't deliver on an end of the
02:16world premise with potential i only have one question for you are you coming with me
02:26critics and netflix subscribers agreed on this one too with the audience rotten tomatoes score
02:31of 17 matching that of the critics forget about how it ends and just don't start this one to begin
02:37with all right i've heard enough number seven brain on fire based on a true story brain on
02:44fire tells of a new york journalist who was cured of a mysterious illness at the last minute by a
02:49dedicated and skillful syrian american neurologist i will do my best to help you i will not hurt you
02:58and i will never lie to you okay okay let's begin the film had its world premiere at the toronto
03:06international film festival while tiff has often launched movies onto a successful and acclaimed
03:11trajectory that wasn't the case with brain on fire get through this yeah i hope so rather than
03:20provide a deep and dramatic experience this film comes across as more of an uninteresting tv movie
03:25of the week critics weren't super kind to chloe grace moretz's performance either i had to learn
03:30everything from scratch how to walk again how to talk again smile how to be a daughter
03:38this is the cure for this movie don't watch it number six the last thing he wanted if celebrities
03:45and lots of money were all you needed to make a great movie then the last thing he wanted would
03:49have been nominated for multiple oscars given its 100 million dollar budget and big name stars i
03:54don't have any comment to make about that with ann hathaway ben affleck rosie perez and willem
03:59deffoe this 2020 netflix film had plenty of name power behind it i can see you're buying into the
04:07whole package here you're very adaptable i never tell you that just like your mother the problem
04:12was it didn't have much good writing to go along with it making this political thriller much more
04:17confusing than thrilling with a title like the last thing he wanted your movie better be good
04:22or you're just setting us up to say as many critics did that this is the last film that
04:26anyone really wanted i think you're gonna get very far you'd be surprised number five the last days
04:34of american crime set in the near future the last days of american crime depicts a world in which
04:39the american government is set to initiate a synaptic blocker that will prevent the population
04:44from breaking the law once live the api signal promises to influence criminal activity on a
04:50national scale unfortunately there was no such device deployed to stop this awful movie from
04:56being made though and while releasing the film at the time of the george floyd murders was unfortunate
05:01timing this film doesn't get let off the hook that easily that's legacy my friend legacy that's
05:06another good word so you want revenge i want legacy the movie runs two and a half hours long
05:13and is barely exciting for about an hour of that time the zero percent rotten tomato score says it
05:18all as does the wonderful consensus line quote this crime is punishment sorry to disappoint you
05:25number four true memoirs of an international assassin remember how paul blart mall cop was
05:31an average comedy with a few laughs but lacked the quality writing to take it beyond a one joke flick
05:37welcome to the show let's mount up well the problem was that the movie was a big hit at the box office
05:43and apparently gave kevin james the confidence that he could have a successful comedy without
05:48actually having to be that funny yeah that was that was pretty bad
05:54and voila seven years later he was starring in true memoirs of an international assassin another
05:59one note action comedy with a few funny moments but mostly one where you will find both the action
06:05and comedy pretty disappointing thankfully at 98 minutes long it's not wasting too much of your
06:10time oh really yeah really number three me time we're not saying a buddy comedy starring kevin
06:16hart and mark walberg can't be good but we are saying this buddy comedy starring kevin hart and
06:21mark walberg isn't what's up what's going on where are you man hart plays a stay-at-home dad who for
06:28the first time in years has some me time while the family is out of town however it only takes
06:33a few days for him to get bored and hook up with his wild former best bud walberg it's about us
06:38okay we're going back to basics this is the point where we should tell you that hilarity ensues
06:46unfortunately this poorly written comedy is barely funny and it isn't just the critics saying that
06:51on rotten tomatoes the film has an audience score of 32 and comments like yikes and bored guys
06:59i'm so sorry this is a bit of a misunderstanding number two father of the year have you ever
07:04argued with a friend about which one of your dads would win in a fight so my dad looks like
07:09a human muppet and i'm 100 sure he could kick your dad's ass come on your dad gets startled
07:14by pop-up books well that's what happens in father of the year two drunk college kids have
07:19said argument and the respective fathers take it seriously and mayhem and comedy follow well
07:25what actually follows is a standard paint by numbers comedy with a few gross out gags really
07:31there is also some predictable heartwarming stuff that is more like heart lukewarm because you
07:36really don't care that much about any of the characters neither you nor your dad should have
07:41to sit through this one i don't know what your threshold is for emotional pain so i brought
