An inexplicably successful comedy finds itself up sh*t creek on Netflix


If there are any genres that split opinion between critics and fans more than any others,

[{"selector":"#anim-a712b893-71fc-4635-9de1-1d1bb98ec31a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(6.7307689682132175%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

you’d have to name comedy and horror as the top two.

[{"selector":"#anim-dc4b54ca-c20d-4b78-9c6e-2f75c940fdef [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(6.7307689682132175%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

The latter finds audiences much more receptive to jump scares and gore

[{"selector":"#anim-f92a7c2c-bf0f-4ee7-9057-a9bfffe4069f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(6.7307689682132175%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

than those tasked with writing reviews, while the former is nearly impossible

[{"selector":"#anim-33bf49f2-a382-4548-affa-361c75b8978a [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(6.7307689682132175%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

to predict given that everyone has a different sense of humor,

As per FlixPatrol, regular Adam Sandler collaborator Steven Brill’s 2004 hit has been swimming

[{"selector":"#anim-4f85f4e2-3cf9-4717-bf1a-e929b2cb2e84 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(6.7307689682132175%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

upstream on the platform’s charts, having secured multiple Top 10 finishes in various countries around the world.

The treasure-hunting travesty was resoundingly panned to end up with a paltry
