10 Worst Movies Of 2021

10. Sweet Girl

The marketing for Sweet Girl actually suggested a pretty fun schlock-fest, centered around a father (Jason Momoa) and daughter (Isabela Merced) taking on the pharmaceutical company which killed their wife and mother by delaying the release of a life-saving drug.

Despite the appealing pairing of Momoa and Merced, Sweet Girl is little more than an avalanche of action-thriller cliches, and while that alone might not sound egregious enough to earn it a spot on a worst-of list, the truly awful third-act twist absolutely clinches it.

Without giving the big reveal away in case you're planning a future hate-watch, Sweet Girl climaxes with a rug-pull so spectacularly stupid that it basically invalidates everything that came before.

It's a lazy twist that's been overused far too much over the last 20-or-so years, and within the context of this story feels especially manipulative.

For a film that actually could've said something meaningful about Big Pharma, this was a total miss, though the ridiculous twist does at least rouse some unintentional comedy.
