The 5 Worst Netflix Original Movies Of 2020 So Far

Justina Mintz/Netflix Taraji P. Henson, Terrence Little Gardenhigh and Ed Helms in "Coffee & Kareem." Setting: Boston Notable cast: Alan Arkin, Winston Duke, Post Malone, Iliza Shlesinger and Mark Wahlberg Rotten Tomatoes score: 38% Metacritic score: 49 Critic burn: Benjamin Lee at The Guardian: It’s an action-comedy-mystery-thriller that manages to spectacularly fail at all the above, an algorithmic abomination that’s as coldly constructed as it is clumsily made. Setting: Small-town Virginia Notable cast: Crystal Fox, Tyler Perry and Phylicia Rashad Rotten Tomatoes score: 17% Metacritic score: 34 Critic burn: Candice Frederick at The New York Times: It’s odd that it’s 2020 and the writer-director Tyler Perry, someone who considers himself a progressive filmmaker, still makes movies that resemble the histrionic, “Lifetime: Television for Women” format of the ’90s. Debut date: Feb. 21 Runtime: 1 hour, 55 minutes Premise: In this cop comedy, a 12-year-old kid named Kareem isn’t happy about his mom’s new boyfriend, a cop with the last name Coffee. Setting: Detroit Notable cast: Ed Helms, Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Little Gardenhigh Rotten Tomatoes score: 20% Metacritic score: 35 Critic burn: Richard Roeper at the Chicago Sun-Times: It’s almost astonishing how unfunny this movie is, given the talents of primary cast members Ed Helms, Taraji P. Henson, Betty Gilpin and David Alan Grier.
