12 Critically Acclaimed Recent Movies That Actually Sucked

7. Ibiza

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 70% (6.5/10)

What The Critics Said: Gillian Jacobs, Vanessa Bayer and Phoebe Robinson were generally praised for propping up this straight-to-Netflix rom-com, with their charm apparently elevating, well, everything else.

Why It Actually Sucked: Netflix's Originals line-up has been depressingly inconsistent this year so far, and so it's genuinely surprising that critics sprung for this utterly boilerplate and forgettable genre effort.

Yes, the three leads are likeable enough, but the script is extraordinarily lazy, and the set-up just can't sustain anything more than a passing level of interest.

If you've exhausted Netflix's streaming library and come across Ibiza, it's best viewed as background noise when you're doing something else.
