Freddie Got Fingered was waaaay ahead of its time. Reading the reviews from the 00s after watching it for the first time like five years ago was a HOOT.

I’ve liked some real stinkers. So much that I only look at ratings after watching, and only if I have strong enough feelings about how much it sucks that I want to see if people agree with my specific critiques. And thats mostly to just be like “yeah that tracks”, because I add everything that looks promising down to about a 5/10 rating. A lot of times things get poor ratings because people don’t understand them, don’t get the significance, or are unable to suspend disbelief or follow subtleties in specific ways that I find really easy to do.

And a lot of times I dislike things because of plot holes that others don’t seem to notice.

Like I really enjoyed the soap-opera-ness of another life, you just have to ignore the bizarre motivations people have for their over-the-top reactions. Apparently that’s not a prevailing view. It has pretty bad reviews.
