reddit ask: What is a movie that has aged poorly?

reddit user @Chance_in_Pants asked “What is a movie that has aged poorly?” and here are some of the answers, you can read the whole thing at the source.

– Never Been Kissed (1999): Drew Barrymore posing as a teenager and having a relationship w the teacher who gets MAD when he finds out shes not a teenager and is his age, then we’re just supposed to smooth it over at the end.

– Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil (1997): Kevin Spacey is a rich closeted homosexual who murders his much younger lover.

– 40 days and 40 Nights (2002): No one lives like that in San Francisco or works at a tech firm designing websites to make money like that…But most importantly, that ending would not fly. Victim blaming when he gets raped by his ex-girlfriend??? It’s just so wrong.

– Sixteen Candles (1984): I still enjoy it for what it is for the most part, but there are a few things that are pretty problematic, first and foremost being Jake Ryan telling Ted to take advantage of his girlfriend while she’s passed out. Long Duk Dong’s character is an insanely racist depiction of an Asian person. The whole underwear show is so wrong too.

– Jurassic World Dominion (2022): The new Jurassic world films already look more out of date than the original.
