Ready player one.

That has to be one of the cringiest movies I've seen, is tries so hard, too hard with it's "WE LOVE YOU NERD, YOU'RE SO COOL FOR PLAYING GAMES AND GETTING THIS 80S REFERENCE" message and the whole "corporation bad, the people good" narrative seems written for toddlers... The fan service feels cheap and adds nothing to the story.

Finally, they trying to make the people believe that very attractive girl with a barely visible red tint spot on her face is "ugly"... Like wtf?

Yet it received decent reviews plus being one of the most successful movies of that year.

Borat.

Supposedly it's a comedy, but it's completely devoid of humor.

Borat isn't my favorite of the genre but I love those kinds of movies that mix fictional plot line with interactions of real strangers. I wish there was more love for those kinds of projects.

Borat (and SBC in general) is known for treating those real strangers like shit and leaving the places they film in worse off than when they got there.

Well yeah, because he exposed those areas for having garbage people living there. He didn't make the area worse by damaging honorable people, all he did was hand a spotlight to people and let them show who they are. They very obviously were aware they were on camera the entire time
