Opinions: What is a movie you genuinely like, that is rated below 60% on rotten tomatoes? (xkcd.com)

Inspired by the linked XKCD. Using 60% instead of 50% because that's an easy filter to apply on rottentomatoes.

I'll go first: I think "Sherlock Holmes: A game of Shadows" was awesome, from the plot to the characters ,and especially how they used screen-play to highlight how Sherlocks head works in these absurd ways.

Josie and the Pussycats.

It was so far ahead of its time that critics just didn't get it because the world they were satirizing was still about a decade away. (Instagram, fame, product placement, fanboyism...)

Also, bonus answer. The Big Hit. Because fuck it. Lou Diamond Phillips knew exactly what kind of shclock movie he was in and chewed the scenery fantastically.

As someone who grew up on Archie comics, that movie NAILED the casting (except for the Cabots, who weren't really in the film much anyway).

The Big Hit.

Alexandra is responsible for the line in the movie that most cracks me up every...single...time.

"Holy shit that girls got a skunk on her head! Oh...that's just your hair. But seriously...that's messed up."
