While Kimble has little patience for criminals, he has even less patience for unruly children, and a comedy of errors ensues as Kimble finds himself in over his head juggling kids, bad guys and an attraction to fellow teacher, Joyce (<strong>Penelope Ann Miller<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p>Though reception to\u00a0<em>Kindergarten Cop<\/em> was mixed at the time, critics were nevertheless in agreement that the film cemented Schwarzenegger\u2019s comedic chops and successfully subverted his persona as a tough-guy action hero (and just so happens to feature the iconic line, \u201cIt\u2019s not a tumor!\u201d). The movie is a chaotic mish-mash that shouldn\u2019t gel together, but somehow does, and what results is a piece of popcorn movie-making of the highest order. Even if it doesn\u2019t make you laugh, you\u2019ll be entertained all the way through.<\/p>\n<h2>\u2018Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates\u2019 (2016)<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates | Official Trailer [HD] | 20th Century FOX\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/33MtR-g4Jcg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/m\/mike_and_dave_need_wedding_dates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Rotten Tomatoes score: 38 percent<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Close brothers Mike (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrities\/adam-devine\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Adam Devine<\/strong><\/a>) and Dave (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrities\/zac-efron\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Zac Efron<\/strong><\/a>) are fun-loving guys who sometimes take things a little too far when it comes to family gatherings. So, when their sister Jeanie (<strong>Sugar Lyn Beard<\/strong>) announces her upcoming wedding in Hawaii, the Stangle family insists that Mike and Dave get their acts together and bring suitable dates. So, what do the brothers end up doing? They place an ad on Craigslist, ultimately landing on two seemingly normal ladies named Tatiana (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrities\/aubrey-plaza\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Aubrey Plaza<\/strong><\/a>) and Alice (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrities\/anna-kendrick\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Anna Kendrick<\/strong><\/a>). But once the girls get to the island, the brothers realize that their dates are anything but chill.<\/p>\n<p>A throwback screwball premise and a charmingly committed cast make\u00a0<em>Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates<\/em> a lovable comedy watch, even if the critics didn\u2019t necessarily agree. In particular, Plaza\u2019s comedic prowess really shines through in this film, with the actress seamlessly able to oscillate between accessible farce and restrained deadpan, while giving line reads of a lifetime. Efron and DeVine also have terrific chemistry, and the frequently chaotic scenarios are hilarious. Overall, <em>Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates\u00a0<\/em>is an underrated gem.<\/p>\n<h2>\u2018Anaconda\u2019 (2026)<\/h2>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"ANACONDA \u2013 Official Trailer (HD)\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/az8M5Mai0X4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<div id=\"news-block\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-form  \">\n\t<br \/>\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/themes\/us-weekly\/assets\/img\/newsletter-bg-wide.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"newsletter-form__background background-wide\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"newsletter-signup__success\" aria-live=\"polite\">\n<h3>Thank You!<\/h3>\n<p>You have successfully subscribed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/m\/anaconda_2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Rotten Tomatoes score: 47 percent<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Childhood friends turned dissatisfied adults Doug (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrities\/jack-black\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Jack Black<\/strong><\/a>), Griff (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrities\/paul-rudd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Paul Rudd<\/strong><\/a>), Kenny (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrities\/steve-zahn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Steve Zahn<\/strong><\/a>) and Claire (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrities\/thandie-newton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Thandiwe Newton<\/strong><\/a>) receive a surprising opportunity from one of their all-time favorite films: <em>Anaconda,<\/em> starring <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrities\/jennifer-lopez\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Jennifer Lopez<\/strong><\/a> and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/celebrities\/ice-cube\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong> Ice Cube<\/strong><\/a>. After Griff, a struggling television actor, manages to get his hands on the rights to\u00a0<em>Anaconda,<\/em> the group sets out to make a low-budget indie remake of the movie in the Brazilian Amazon. But when Griff accidentally kills the tame snake they were using, the quest to find a wild replacement turns into being hunted by a massive anaconda like the fictional one from their film.<\/p>\n<p><em>Anaconda<\/em> isn\u2019t as ambitious as its metatextual premise might indicate, but it\u2019s got big laughs, high entertainment value and a wholly game cast (that even features some cameos from the original movie). Black and Rudd have undeniable chemistry, and even if the plot drags at times, there\u2019s always a funny moment shared between the two of them to keep the good times rolling. Plus, <em>Anaconda<\/em> does manage a deft blend of genuine terror and intentional silliness that even the original\u00a0<em>Anaconda<\/em> couldn\u2019t quite muster.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/entertainment\/news\/3-good-netflix-movies-with-bad-rotten-tomatoes-scores-may-26\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all know that sometimes the critics get it wrong, and solid movies are blasted with a \u201crotten\u201d score on the Tomatometer.
