12 Biggest Guilty Pleasure Movies Of 2016

12. Now You See Me 2

By any regular metric, this sequel to 2013's magic-themed heist thriller is not a good film. It's absurdly plotted, it's at least half an hour too long, and it rarely justifies its own existence as a sequel or otherwise.

It's also an indecent amount of fun thanks to a committed cast, with new additions Daniel Radcliffe and Lizzy Caplan bringing even more charm to the line-up.

The plot is forgettable and the various twists and turns are increasingly ridiculous, but if you accept the film for what it is and just embrace all that silliness, there's an infectiously entertaining quality to it.

If you're honest with yourself, you'll probably watch the inevitable sequel regardless, maybe even in the cinema. Going by those oddly impressive box office numbers, a lot of people did, and they can't all think it's legit good, right?
