13 Most Overrated Movies Of 2018

4. Green Book

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 81% (7.6/10)

While there's little arguing with the solid performances of Mahershala Ali and Viggo Mortensen, Green Book is an absurdly simplistic, laughably on-the-nose movie about race relations in 1960s America.

Basically Racism for Dummies, Green Book is an attempt to make a palatable "Can't we all just get along?" movie for the Bible Belt crowd, who can pat themselves on the back for seeing the Racism Is Bad film which trades in obvious moral platitudes and nothing approaching actual nuance.

Earnest and well-meaning to a fault, Peter Farrelly's film jumps through dramatic hoops a little too easily for its own good, failing to do justice to the two game performers at the centre in the process.

It's easy to see why there's an audience for an easily digestible, basic movie like this, but given the reception and awards buzz, it's staggering just how flatly written and superficial Green Book actually is.
