30 Comedy Movies With the Worst Ratings on Rotten Tomatoes

Comedies are supposed to make you roar with laughter, but some leave us cringing in our seats.

Rotten Tomatoes, the hallmark of movie and television reviews, has a unique rating system to weed out the good from the bad.

The aggregation review site encourages fans to rate every movie on their "Tomatometer" scale. A consistent score of 75 percent or above warrants a "certified fresh" seal of approval, while total turkeys are rated "rotten."

Below, is a list of the films where the gags and parodies didn't quite pay off, according to Rotten Tomatoes reviewers.

Sadly, this emoji-centred film didn't elicit smiles from reviewers. The film, featuring James Corden and Maya Rudolph, received 7 percent on the Tomatometer.
