20 Worst Netflix Original Movies EVER

2. Father Of The Year

The Wrong Missy David Spade Lauren Lapkus

As tawdry as most of Adam Sandler's Netflix comedies are, they're veritably Oscar-worthy compared to David Spade's utterly awful Father of the Year.

Spade and Nat Faxon star as two at-war fathers seeking to do their sons proud - a wafer-thin concept for a comedy that could have worked with a better script, but the hijinks throughout are committed to being the dumbest and most tasteless possible.

When the jokes aren't cringe-worthy they scarcely qualify as jokes, nobody in the cast can pretend to be interested in what they're doing, and despite being barely 90 minutes long it feels like it lasts three hours.

It is the epitome of a Netflix comedy that feels less like an actual attempt at a movie than a glorified money laundering scheme, the cast and crew doing the absolute bare minimum to convince us they actually set out to produce something that could be called entertainment.
