For me; it’s Norbit. I love Eddie Murphy but I admit even at the time the humor felt pretty low brow. Plus a lot of the fat, Asian, and various other stereotypes really didn’t age all that well. Sales wise, it did good, but critically…? Another one was Jordan Peele’s “HIM”. Interesting premise, with Marlon Wayans in a serious role. However a lot of people may feel like they were mislead thinking this was a run of the mill football movie. Plus, if you’re not familiar with free mason culture, a lot of the references go over your head, and can make for a very offputting film, overall. Curious to see what other movies others may feel similar to

I had a girlfriend that was very reminiscent of Freaky Nikki. Mood swings, emotional manipulation, causing scenes in public, threatening self harm, very erratic, and overall the dynamic was hell. What a lot of people don’t point out, is that Freaky Nikki behaved in much the same way as a typical abuser; Inspiring fear, coercing obedience, then apology. Rinse, and repeat. That look bear had, after the party scene? I wore that same exhausted look, more times than I can remember. That part where she mocked him after Sarah’s death, stating it was “all his fault”? Yeah, that was cold. Not saying he wasn’t abusive in his own right. That scene where Nikki talks in her sleep, cemented him as the villain in my eyes. Not to mention the argument where he demanded the wish demon to just, “Be Nikki”, was awful. He was the overall villain. But That’s my take
