Ranking February 2018's Movies From Worst To Best

10. Irreplaceable You

Irreplaceable You Gugu Mbatha Raw
Netflix

RottenTomatoes Score: 29% (5.2/10)

Box Office: Straight to Netflix.

Verdict: Gugu Mbatha-Raw was Netflix's MVP in February, appearing in two not-good movies but giving stellar performances in both. Irreplaceable You is one of the streamer's first forays into saccharine weepie dramedy, and though shamelessly manipulative, it at least qualifies as "watchable".

Raw's courageous performance and some legitimately poignant meditations on human fragility compensate for its sometimes faux-hip dialogue and aggressive attempts to wring tears from your eyes.

Those who love their syrupy B-movies will probably get plenty of enjoyment out of it, honestly. Mbatha-Raw really deserves better projects, though.
