10 Movies That Instantly Told You They Were Garbage

10. Me Time

While few among us likely had high hopes for the new Mark Wahlberg and Kevin Hart-starring Netflix Original "comedy" Me Time, even the most subterranean expectations were surpassed in its very first scene.

The film, about two old friends, Huck (Wahlberg) and Sonny (Hart), reconnecting in middle-age, kicks off with a scene set 15 years prior, where the two are preparing to base jump off a cliff edge in Utah.

Sonny chickens out at the last minute but gets blown off the cliff by a gust of wind regardless, yet after getting over his initial terror, he manages to enjoy the wingsuit's gentle glide through the air.

Huck joins him as they have a serene moment together in the air, before Sonny is smashed in the face by a bird, causing him to spin wildly out of control until Huck is able to pull his ripcord.

Beyond the painfully low-effort humour of the scene as written, the execution is horrible. The VFX are painfully low-rent, and while that might pass muster in a YouTuber's short film, in a Netflix movie that likely cost tens of millions of dollars to produce, it's embarrassing.

It at least sets the roughshod standard from the outset, though, and so it's little surprise that Me Time went on to be brutally panned by critics for its depressingly laugh-less script.
