So did woke busts like \u201cStrange World\u201d and \u201cLightyear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The year also delivered some classic clunkers, films that made the movie-going experience a burden. The worst of the worst arrived with plenty of fanfare, but even one of Hollywood\u2019s most intriguing directors couldn\u2019t prevent it from topping 2022\u2019s worst list.<\/p>\n<p>Nope<\/p>\n<p>Jordan Peele shocked everyone by uncorking 2017\u2019s \u201cGet Out,\u201d a horror film mocking liberal elites in the most delicious way possible. His follow-up, 2019\u2019s \u201cUs,\u201d couldn\u2019t match that debut\u2019s shock value but included smart scares and thoughtful, Left-leaning commentary.<\/p>\n<p>Peele\u2019s third film finds him abandoning his woke messaging for a tale with an intriguing first act. A mysterious force lurks in the sky, and it\u2019s up to a family of horse trainers, led by Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer, to stop it from crushing their ranch and possibly much more.<\/p>\n<p>The lo-fi effects aren\u2019t the problem here. Palmer\u2019s character is irritating to the core, while Kaluuya has trouble staying awake on screen. We know the feeling. The finale is a dud for the ages, blending head-scratching character choices and dread-free confrontations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly Peele\u2019s directorial promise has a decided M. Night Shyamalan vibe. Did Peele peak with his first major hit like Shyamalan did with \u201cThe Sixth Sense?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Marry Me<\/p>\n<p>Rom-coms are currently on life support thanks to absurd plot gimmicks and a fear of old-school romance. This 2022 debacle helps explain the genre\u2019s sorry state of affairs.<\/p>\n<p>Jennifer Lopez plays a pop princess prepping to marry her pop prince during a sold-out show. She learns, mid-performance, he\u2019s been cheating on her. She decides to select a random dude out of the audience (Owen Wilson, who should have known better than to take this gig) to marry instead.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, that\u2019s the actual plot of the film. Really. Suffice to say, matters don\u2019t improve from there.<\/p>\n<p>Clerks III<\/p>\n<p>Remember when it was cool to watch movie nerds debate \u201cStar Wars\u201d lore on the big screen? Kevin Smith\u2019s 1994 indie smash \u201cClerks\u201d ran with that theme, but every third YouTube channel now provides that service.<\/p>\n<p>That left Smith scrambling for both relevance and a reason to reunite his old \u201cClerks\u201d crew one more time. He found neither in this cinematic stink bomb.<\/p>\n<p>Forever clerks Randal and Dante (Jeff Anderson, Brian O\u2019Halloran) shoot a movie about their days behind the counter after Randal recovers from a near-fatal heart attack. The jokes are few, the sentimentality would embarrass a Hallmark movie buff, and the sequel smells like a misguided attempt to revive Smith\u2019s glory days.<\/p>\n<p>The Lair<\/p>\n<p>Director Neil Marshall delivered one of the best monster movies in recent memory with 2005\u2019s \u201cThe Descent.\u201d The Brit has been working steadily ever since, never coming close to that modern classic in the process. Think \u201cHellboy,\u201d \u201cCenturion,\u201d \u201cDoomsday,\u201d and \u201cThe Reckoning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Lair\u201d marks a low point not just for Marshall but for the horror genre. A Mary Sue-style heroine (Charlotte Kirk) battles nasty creatures who have staked out a base in modern-day Afghanistan.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Now, Kirk\u2019s character and a rogue\u2019s gallery of forgettable soldiers must subdue both the monsters and atrocious, even by B-movie standards, dialogue.<\/p>\n<p>The only positive note about \u201cThe Lair?\u201d No socio-political lecturing between the dumb action scenes and dumber monster battles.<\/p>\n<p>Me Time<\/p>\n<p>Kevin Hart needs a heart-to-heart chat with his agent. He\u2019s one of the industry\u2019s most likable talents, but he routinely chooses projects beneath those talents. Fellow critics threw his other Netflix original, \u201cThe Man from Toronto,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rottentomatoes.com\/m\/the_man_from_toronto_2022\">under the bus, too<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMe Time\u201d offers an example of his terrible decisions. He\u2019s cast as an emasculated dad who reunites with his buddy (Mark Wahlberg) for some extreme adventures. Laughs? Forget about it. This strained affair offers a sly premise but never becomes the rip-roaring buddy comedy it wants to be.<\/p>\n<p>The Munsters<\/p>\n<p>This Netflix original proves writer\/director Rob Zombie loves the classic \u201860s sitcom as much as we do. So why did he update its gimmick in such slipshod fashion?<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not a casting issue. Sheri Moon Zombie, the director\u2019s wife\/muse, oozes sweetness as Lily Munster, while Jeff Daniel Phillips nails Herman\u2019s cornball shtick.<\/p>\n<p>The film\u2019s aesthetic \u2013 cheap neon hues and cut-rate production design \u2013 only hints at the debacle in motion. Prepare to sit, stone-faced, as the hard-working stars scramble to replicate the source material\u2019s deft touch.<\/p>\n<p>They\/Them<\/p>\n<p>The horror film\u2019s title is darn near brilliant (it\u2019s pronounced \u201cThey \u2013 Slash \u2013 Them\u201d). Everything else about the Peacock thriller is a train wreck.<\/p>\n<p>The uber-woke story follows LGBTQ+ campers dropped off at a deprogramming camp run by Kevin Bacon.
