One of the inherent qualities that has come from writing about film is constantly watching many more than the average person, attempting to hone and fine-tune my taste to be the best critic that I can be. However, it is only human nature to have subjective opinions and guilty pleasures, as no matter how hard I try to keep a critical viewpoint, and not of an objective quality.

By most conceivable metrics, these films simply shouldn't find success in the ways that they do, as even after seeing them, . While some of these films' inherent enjoyment is due to their so-bad-they're-good qualities, others actually have surprising and enjoyable aspects despite their admittedly dumb plots and other notorious shortcomings. Everyone is going to have their selection of guilty pleasures and objective low-quality films that they find enjoyment in, but many will probably relate to how darn enjoyable these disasterpieces are.

While the prospect of a fun, so-bad-it's-good time was certainly teased with the first , I largely found the original film to be too slow and monotonous to truly have fun with. However, the sequel, , improved upon every aspect of the first film and became a much more enjoyable film, even if it still has the same dumb premise of killer children's properties.

While the original film had the energy of a cheap scam, Blood and Honey 2 fully, making for a wildly entertaining time. Tigger saying, "That's my line," in reply to a policeman saying "Let's bounce" before killing him is the exact type of nonsense that this franchise needed to succeed. Only time will tell if this newfound excitement and entertainment value will carry through to the rest of the "extended Pooh-niverse".

presents itself as little more than a low-stakes action comedy about a group of friends playing an extreme game of tag, leaning into the absurdity and nonsensical nature of adults engaging in a decades-long schtick for its main source of comedy. Tag is certainly far from the most highbrow of action-comedy experiences, yet there is something about the bonds of long-lasting friendship mixed with the chaotic nonsense of it all that makes it work so well.

For a concept that shouldn't work in any conceivable metric, the supporting cast is giving their all to . For example, fully commits to his role of a hyper-competitive man who has never lost a game of tag. Even if its story beats and style of humor are relatively formulaic and generic, the emotional beats do their job unexpectedly well, serving to make both the comedy and the overall package a deeply pleasant surprise. It certainly has helped matters that my experiences with the film are tied with my group of friends, paralleling the very tenets of the film itself.

of animated properties are not only an ever-present trend in the modern era of filmmaking but one that has grown largely mind-numbing as the vast majority of them are strict downgrades to their animated counterparts. This makes it all the more baffling that I manage to find enjoyment and catharsis in watching , a goofy comedy adaptation of an animated show made for toddlers.

Unlike other movie adaptations of young children's material, the film doesn't feel tailor-made for this audience of babies but instead . The film actively pokes fun at the structure and characterization of the original show as well as giving lead actress the opportunity to flourish in a manic comedic performance. I have zero connection or care for the original children's cartoon, yet this film perfectly aligns with my comedic taste, despite the soulless and mind-numbing aspects of its very existence.

It's no secret that there is a dedicated audience for the cheesiest, dumbest, and outright most absurd holiday rom-coms imaginable, with studios like Hallmark and Netflix leading the charge every holiday season. While I don't partake in this seasonal display of trash every year, this past year's proved so absurd and silly that I couldn't help but fall in love with it. For a genre that is largely defined by its weird and confusing plots, Hot Frosty may just have ever conceived.

It doesn't exactly take a lot of explaining to see why a story where a woman falls in love with a snowman who transforms into a hunky male model is absurdly hilarious. However, it's all the little pieces surrounding this chaotic core premise that make Hot Frosty such . From the fact that he still has to worry about melting despite being in a visually human body to the moral ethics of starting a relationship with a man who is only days old, Hot Frosty's sillyness and entertainment value go hand in hand.

Supernatural possession and come a dime a dozen, with a select few, like and succeeding while the vast majority flounder in a sea of clichés and cheap scares. However, takes a distinctly different approach to the concept that simultaneously makes it one of the dumbest exorcist films out there but also one of the most entertaining. The film takes a much more lax and over-the-top approach to its storytelling, feeling like the exorcism film equivalent of a high-stakes superhero movie, complete with cheesy green-screen set pieces during the climax.

While there is certainly a fair share of scares and classic clichés of the genre, The Pope's Exorcist feels , leaning into its ridiculousness to be a wildly fun time. What makes it work especially well is this difficult balancing act between taking itself seriously and knowing how baffling it all is, with the key piece to finding this balance being the lead performance by . Crowe's nonsensical and over-the-top performance as Father Amorth hits just .

is easily one of my favorite and most underrated directors when it comes to the realm of horror comedy, with films like and especially being a fun, gory time. However, despite being one of his most forgotten and critically maligned films, as well as having one of the worst titles imaginable, has to watch. The film blends creature feature slashers with a goofy role-playing comedy to make for a messy yet effective blend of violence, humor, and B-movie nonsense.

Strangely, I was even able to find a connection and strength within some of the weaker and dumber aspects of the film, such as the unbalanced tone and atrociously cheesy editing style. The view and perspective of it all feel like an amateur role-playing game done by friends, akin to the friend group and larping shown in the film. . It certainly isn't as fine-tuned or well-made as other horror comedies, but it's hard for me not to fall in love with a horror comedy that prominently features and .

Even as someone who witnessed the massive rise of the franchise as icons of the mobile gaming space, these cinematic adaptations of the video game series always felt to me like cheap, generic family films from the outset. While this sentiment is certainly shared with the first film, there is an allure and chaotic absurdity that compels and draws me to the comedic stylings of . The film's style and approach as a whole feel as if the executives simply didn't care about what was actually in the film and let the writers go all out in terms of nonsensical comedy.

The film isn't without its blatant flaws, such as generic characterization and story, a blatant focus on commercialization and selling toys with new characters, and a painful implementation of memes and references like the Baby Shark dance. However, when it can stand on its own and let its writing shine, The Angry Birds Movie 2 is one of the funniest and imaginable. I can't in good faith recommend the film to the average audience due to its overwhelming number of flaws, but it is still time and time again.

is easily one of my favorite directors, although the number of truly amazing films that he's directed is massively outnumbered by the amount of strange and comedic misfires. However, even when he's at his worst, Rodriguez and his filmmaking have a sense of love and passion that is often infectious to the audience, leading to critically hated films like and becoming cult classics. However, easily his most forgotten of his family film outings, , continues to be my favorite film of his, despite its relative lack of objective quality.

There's just something about the mixture of honest and innocent childlike imagination,seeing children's wishes facing off against a corporate and capitalist monster that is just so fun to watch. The film features a lot of the signature staples of Rodriguez's other family movies, such as outlandish visual effects and an unexpected supporting cast of all-star actors and actresses hamming it up on-screen. It certainly also helps that I have a core memory of watching this film as a child at a now-closed drive-in movie theater, something that , even if it's for an objectively dumb movie.

No singular director has gone on quite a wild ride in terms of critical reception and reputation like . He's gone from a creative visionary of masterpiece thrillers to creating some of the worst movies of all time before finally hitting his stride once again in recent years. While the reception of his recent outings is relatively mixed and divided among both critics and audiences, make it very easy to ignore its blatant flaws.

While Trap features a lot of the same issues that plague Shyamalan's most maligned cinematic outings — stilted performances and a relatively downgraded third act — its charm and positives manage to overcome its inherent stupidity. By this point in , elements of his filmmaking go beyond simply being flaws that detract from the film, but part of his signature filmmaking personality that either makes or breaks the film experience. While mixed on his other films this decade, , playing into thriller attributes and always guessing what will happen next.

Considered by some to be one of the worst movies of recent memory, often comes across like . However, when said man is , one of the most legendary and respected filmmakers of all time, there are undeniably times in Megalopolis where the greatness from within Coppola shines through. It makes for of recent memory, not caring about cohesion or structure in an attempt to rewrite the tenets of filmmaking itself.

Megalopolis often fails more than it succeeds, yet this strange mixture of entertaining trackwreck negatives and ingeniously breathtaking positives make for a beautiful experience that is somehow both incredibly dumb and incredibly smart. , feeling like it exists on an ethereal plane that just talking about it makes me feel like a pedantic hipster. It's an experience that has been at the back of my mind ever since I saw it in theaters last year and will assuredly continue to be a defining cinematic experience of the 2020s, for better or for worse.
