Movie reviews can tell you a lot, but they cannot explain why you have watched the same ridiculous comedy 25 times and still laugh at every joke. Some movies get torn apart by critics, disappear at the box office, or spend years sitting next to an ugly Rotten Tomatoes score, only to find an audience that absolutely loves them anyway. Sometimes nostalgia helps. Sometimes a movie is much better than its reputation suggests. And sometimes it is messy, dumb, completely indefensible, and exactly what you wanted. Reddit users recently shared the poorly reviewed movies they would happily defend despite what the critics had to say. Here are 15 badly reviewed movies people would still give a 10/10.Encino ManOne Reddit user went straight for Encino Man, calling it a cult classic for ’90s kids despite its terrible reviews. Judging by all the quotes that immediately followed, plenty of other people have apparently kept Brendan Fraser’s caveman comedy alive too.©IMDbHookSeveral people were genuinely shocked to learn that Hook had been poorly reviewed at all. One had loved it since childhood, while another said they only discovered its bad critical reputation a few years ago and still considered it an excellent kids movie.©IMDbHot RodThe plot might be a little scattered, but that hardly mattered to the person who picked Hot Rod. They called it a childhood favorite and said they still find Andy Samberg’s absurd stuntman comedy hilarious.©IMDbEuroTripEuroTrip inspired less of a defense and more of a collection of people immediately quoting it. One European commenter jokingly called it the most authentic depiction of European culture ever made, which feels like exactly the review this movie deserves.ConstantineA commenter could not understand how Constantine ended up with such rough reviews, praising its supernatural story and Peter Stormare’s performance in particular. Another jumped in simply to praise its version of the Devil.©IMDbKung Pow: Enter the FistKung Pow: Enter the Fist was absolutely mauled by critics, and its fans do not seem particularly bothered. One Reddit user called it unique, endlessly quotable, and a cult comedy that may simply have been too strange for reviewers at the time.©IMDbThe 13th WarriorFor one commenter, The 13th Warrior is simply a rock-solid medieval action movie. They still revisit it every few years and remain completely confused about why it attracted so much dislike in the first place.©IMDbThe ThingThis one aged particularly well. A Reddit user remembered The Thing getting awful reviews and struggling in theaters, but called it a 10/10 and said they disagreed with virtually everything critics said about it at the time.©IMDbRat RaceRat Race fans apparently do not just remember the movie. They have been carrying its jokes around for decades. One commenter called it incredibly quotable, while another said they watched it roughly 150 times with their kids and still thought it was gold.©IMDbDemolition ManThere was not much hesitation behind this nomination. One person simply described Demolition Man as a straight-up masterpiece, which is probably all the justification a movie starring Sylvester Stallone in a bizarre future really needs.©IMDbThree AmigosThree Amigos earned one of the strongest endorsements in the entire discussion: 11/10. Other commenters remembered wearing out VHS copies as kids and discovering years later that the movie still held up for them.©IMDbThe Cutting EdgeSometimes two words are enough to summon an entire fan base. Someone nominated The Cutting Edge, another immediately replied with its famous “toe pick” reference, and apparently no further argument was required.©IMDbJoe DirtJoe Dirt did not impress reviewers, but one Reddit user called it the best thing David Spade ever did and one of the best coming-of-age comedies around. The replies suggest its endlessly repeatable lines did a lot of the heavy lifting.©IMDbNot Another Teen MovieOne commenter pointed out its lousy Rotten Tomatoes score and then immediately declared Not Another Teen Movie funny every single time. Another went even further, calling it the best of the modern movie-parody bunch.©IMDbHoward the DuckThere are critically disliked movies, and then there is Howard the Duck. Someone still nominated the famously battered Marvel oddity anyway, which may be the purest possible example of refusing to let reviews tell you what you are allowed to love.The post 15 People Share the Badly Reviewed Movies They’d Still Give a 10/10 appeared first on Den of Geek.
