The Worst Movies Of 2015 (So Far…)

Last week, us WGTC critics counted off some of our favorite films of 2015 so far, but all in all, it hasn't been a terrific first half of the year. Avengers: Age of Ultron arrived as a bloated, messy sequel with far less charm than the first MCU phase-capper, talented sci-fi filmmakers like the Wachowskis and Neill Blomkamp delivered some of their worst work to date in Jupiter Ascending and Chappie, Johnny Depp eliminates any residual good-will in Mortdecai, and strong actors like Tom Hardy and Jonah Hill ended up mired in slogfests Child 44 and True Story. It's been a depressing season for cinephiles punctuated by some occasional pleasant surprises.

Sam Woolf: Unfinished Business

Tom Wilkinson, Vince Vaughn, Nick Frost and Dave Franco in Unfinished Business

2015 has been an anemic year for comedies, especially considering how many of the duds have been non-sequels. While there’s very little you could point to as being original in Unfinished Business, the cast alone should have made for a serviceably bawdy business trip comedy (think The Hangover in slacks).

Instead, what we got was a string of derivatively smutty set-pieces and Xeroxed “ain’t Europe weird?!” gags. But it’s the treacly sentimentally of Unfinished Business that’s more disgusting than any of the body fluids on display. The film desperately wants you buy into the big softie hiding underneath its lifeless, joyless exterior.

Unfinished Business is like a boorish, aging fraternity brother who wastes time and oxygen trying to convince you, “No, really, I’m a good guy.” File it under NSFW: Not Safe for Watching.
