We’re The Millers deserves so much more (Picture: Rex Features)

Monster-in-Law, Home Alone 2 and Coyote Ugly might be some of our favourite all-time classic films, but Rotten Tomatoes doesn’t agree. 

If there’s anything that can humble an ego-driven Hollywood star, it’s a shockingly low rating on the review aggregation website. 

Sometimes it may be justified – Cats with 19%, we’re looking at you – but there are far too many classics with a special place in our hearts that have not been given the love they deserve from the esteemed movie platform. 

Sadly, not every film can be a Barbie (88%) or Oppenheimer (93%) that clean up both at the box office and with review ratings. 

It’s even more infuriating to see a genuinely well-loved classic receive a lower rating than some of the more divisive reboots of recent years – Ghostbusters (2016) with 74%, we’re side-eyeing you. 

Just so you can join us in our disbelief, here are just some of the most underrated – literally – movies on Rotten Tomatoes that deserve better… 

Home Alone 2: Lost In New York (1992) – 35% 

A sequel is always tricky to master whether it’s the follow-up to a hit movie, a musician’s second album or the second season of a popular TV show, but Home Alone 2: Lost In New York is one of the few that truly got it right. 

Kevin McCallister’s adventures around New York City were just as entertaining as him setting up traps for Harry and Marv in his family home in 1990’s Home Alone. 

Yet, it has just a 35% Rotten Tomatoes score. For want of a better term, that’s simply rotten. 

Monster-In-Law (2005) – 18% 

Erm, are we reading right? One of the best rom-coms of the 21st century has… 18%?! Insanity. 

Watching Jennifer Lopez and queen of screen Jane Fonda trade barbs and go head-to-head so savagely is what makes Monster-In-Law so great. In our humble opinion, it’s one of J-Lo’s best rom-coms to date and the fact she could hold her own against Hollywood vet Fonda was pretty impressive. 

Just 18%? It deserves a heck more. 

Flubber (1997) – 23% 

Look, we get it. When it comes to the late, great Robin Williams, there are too many incredible performances to choose from but Flubber is undoubtedly one of his most underrated and long-forgotten gems. 

It’s silly, funny and oh-so heartwarming plus, watching Weebo (his robot virtual assistant) whiz around through the air felt like the coolest thing for a child growing up in the 90s before all the snazzy technology and special effects we have today. 

We’ll always back Flubber and 23% is just pitiful. 

Final Destination (2000) – 36%

If you’re extra cautious about flying and look three or even four times before crossing the road now, Final Destination is likely the reason. 

It was a huge box office success in the early noughties and had everyone talking about the thrilling new horror that played to all your fears of accidents happening in every day life. 

Yes, it might all seem pretty ridiculous but there’s no denying it wasn’t entertaining. For one of the biggest horrors of its time, a 36% rating isn’t enough. 

Hook (1991) – 29% 

To find that one of the ultimate movies of our childhood has just a 29% score on Rotten Tomatoes shook us to the core. 

Not only does Hook boast a star-studded cast: Robin Williams, Julia Roberts and Dustin Hoffman to name a few, it was also directed by the legendary Steven Spielberg and swept us away on a fantastical and exciting adventure. 

Justice for Hook! 

Armageddon (1998) – 43% 

Any film that includes Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck, Liv Tyler, Billy Bob Thornton and Owen Wilson in its cast is already a winner in our eyes. 

Armageddon may be another save-the-world type of flick and it was certainly cheesy in parts, but it was mostly downright edge-of-your-seat viewing and therefore, a 43% score is unforgivable. 

The Sweetest Thing (2002) – 26% 

This might be one of Cameron Diaz’s finest works from her noughties heyday but iconic rom-com The Sweetest Thing has a lowly 22% on RT, which notes the general complaint from critics was a ‘thin plot.’ 

Well, those sourpusses wouldn’t know a sweet thing if it jumped up in their laps. 

Enough (2002) – 22% 

Where Monster-In-Law is one of J-Lo’s best rom-coms, Enough is one of her best movies period. 

It was perhaps the first time we truly saw Jennifer’s acting chops in a grittier light and, even aside from that, it’s simply a great story. 

A recent watch proved that Enough has stood the test of time as a pulsating thriller. 22%? Sorry, we do not recognise.

Glitter (2001) – 6% 

So hear us out, Glitter maybe wasn’t all that bad. 

Mariah Carey’s second acting role was full-on cheese but then, wasn’t nearly every romantic musical in 2001? Save The Last Dance was also released around that time and, while a huge favourite, definitely falls into that category. 

It doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a bad movie; some of the editing in Glitter was a little dodgy, the storyline predictable and some of the acting questionable, but we’ve definitely seen worse since then. 

The fact Cats has a higher rating than Glitter is absurd. 

Coyote Ugly (2000) – 26% 

Coyote Ugly is another 21st century classic that has been so horribly overlooked. 

It’s a film that everyone loves and still talks about, yet it has a measly 26%. The fact that Leigh-Ann Rimes’ absolute bop Can’t Fight The Moonlight came from this film is more than enough justification that it needs a higher rating. 

We’re The Millers (2013) – 48% 

Last but absolutely not least, who is responsible for giving such poor reviews of We’re The Millers that it has just 48%? 

In one of the most raucously funny comedy capers in recent memory, Jennifer Aniston, Jason Sudeikis, Emma Roberts and Will Poulter created a hit and we desperately long for the day when the dream team reunite. 

It’s easy to get a bunch of stars on screen together but not so easy to create the chemistry, but this cast did just that. 

We want justice for We’re The Millers and settling for anything less than 100% is not an option.
