14 Worst Movies Of 2020 (So Far)

14. Downhill

If there’s one thing we can say for this unnecessary remake of Swedish/French 2014 co-production Force Majeure, it’s that it didn’t blunt the cold, mean-spirited edge of the original film’s dark comedy. Yes, Downhill manages to avoid the pitfall suffered by other American revisions of foreign comedy classics, such as the woeful Dinner for Schmucks, by holding on to all the original’s darkness and unsparingly vicious worldview.

The only problem is, despite hiring Julia Louis Dreyfuss and Will Ferrell to play the feuding couple whose marriage falls apart after he abandons her and grabs his phone when faced with a potential avalanche, the film forgot to ever be funny. As such, audiences were left with a sour, nasty flick which didn’t know what tone it was even attempting.
