8 Unloved Movies From 2015 That Deserve A Higher Score On Rotten Tomatoes

3. Road Hard

Actual Score: 55% Sometimes I think Adam Corolla gets a bad wrap for being a 50-year old, card-carrying member of the He-Man Woman Haters Club. The guy is a little out of touch, to be sure, but at least he manages to make genuinely funny observations about the things he doesn't fully understand, often poking fun of his own ignorance. Other times, though, Corolla deserves to be lambasted for being an ignorant prick. Self-aware or not, making a blatant statement like "Women aren't funny" is enough to earn a lifetime seat at the Irrelevant Comedians Table. His recent directorial effort, Road Hard, which he also stars in, closely parallels his own experiences as an aging road comic. Told from the perspective of a similarly curmudgeon has-been with the high point of his career firmly in the rearview, there's actually a perverse pleasure in watching Corolla's "character" struggle into the later years of his career. It's like cinematic karma for an audience that's watched this guy boorishly slouch his way into his role as a self-professed icon of manliness. But that sick pleasure aside, it's a little hard to root for the sad sack on the screen or laugh at his jokes if you're constantly thinking about the guy behind the character. During one of his many simple-yet-hilarious rants, that statement, "women aren't funny," keeps ringing around the back of the brain, like a warning bell. "Laugh at this movie and you're laughing at a misogynist neanderthal." But that kind of baggage automatically makes for a less enjoyable experience, regardless of how understandable it is. So if we're going to judge Road Hard on its own merits, and not as a measuring stick of Adam Corolla's social comprehension, then it has to rank higher than the Tomatometer suggests. Adjusted Score: 73%
