20 Most WTF Movie Moments Of 2018 (So Far)

17. The "Sexual Abuse Grooming" Scene - Show Dogs

The fact that Show Dogs even exists, was released in cinemas and actually made four-times its budget is a giant series of WTF moments in of itself.

But the movie came under fire for one especially eyebrow-raising scene in which Rottweiler protagonist Max (Ludacris) enters a dog show where judges must touch and inspect his genitals. Max expresses concerns, but the film's other dog characters effectively tell him to "find a happy place" and "just let it happen."

For a message in a movie aimed at children, it's howlingly tone-deaf at best and straight-up f****ed up at worst, with online complaints proving vocal enough that distributor Global Road Entertainment quickly recut the film for its second week of release. Oof.
